"Yang Yu couldn't rule out the possibility that Iyas's brother had already been auctioned off. Citing his indifference to second-hand goods as a reason, he attempted to have the manager investigate the male elves that had been auctioned in the past year.
The manager explained that once an elf was auctioned, only the auction house that conducted the sale would know their whereabouts, and with his authority, he could only know which auction houses had sold elves within the year.
Moreover, to inquire, one would need to use the Crystal Ball to contact headquarters to retrieve the data.
Stating, 'It doesn't matter whether it's second-hand or not, as long as I can find a male elf that satisfies my heart,' Yang Yu gave the manager a fee and asked him to investigate which auction houses had auctioned male elves within the year.
As for the follow-up, Yang Yu told the manager that he would handle it himself, relying on his clever intelligence to find the male elf he liked.
