However, instead of the reaction I'd expected, the skinny guy sitting in the front row suddenly burst into laughter as he looked in my direction.
"Hahaha! You fool! I can't believe you actually fell for my trap and bid one hundred thousand gold coins for that trash weapon. What a sucker! Hehehe!" The guy giggled mischievously, revealing a dirty row of teeth.
He was a dhampir. I could tell from the strange yellow aura surrounding him. Unlike vampires, whose auras were red, dhampirs usually had strangely yellow or golden auras.
They were a small, distinct subspecies with a strong sense of community. Since they weren't fully accepted by either vampires or humans, they had formed their own tight-knit groups.
No wonder he picked on me. He could tell I was a vampire.
When he saw that I was ignoring him, the slender dhampir grew even more furious and tried to get to his feet. However, a sudden burst of aura from the green-skinned auctioneer made everyone suck in a cold breath.
