On the other end of the livestream, Elvis quickly nodded. "Alright, I trust you."
Shannon told him to privately send his address.
After receiving it, she was about to place the order for express delivery. But before she could proceed, a newcomer who had been quietly observing the situation suddenly spoke up.
"Ms. Jensen, could you give me that broken sword? My elders specialize in studying ancient swords, and we can take it." The newcomer spoke so suddenly and gave Shannon no time to react.
Another newcomer chimed in, "Ms. Jensen, I can take it too! My family has a sealing array passed down through generations. We can make sure the sword spirits won't cause trouble."
"That's not fair! You guys are being sneaky! The sword should go to my family since our ancestors even worshiped a sword spirit once."
"Why should it go to you? We want it too!"
"Ms. Jensen, give it to us! My family will pay for it!"
"Mine too!"
"Move! It was my idea, and if I hadn't spoken up, none of you would've thought of this. Now you're all trying to steal it."
"Don't listen to them, Ms. Jensen."
What had been a calm livestream quickly turned into a heated argument among the students.
They surprised the livestream audience and guests of the program. How was it that all the families had such strange obsessions with stuff like this?
Shannon hadn't expected helping Elvis deal with a sword spirit from a broken sword to lead to such fierce competition among the students.
Just as she was about to speak, her phone rang with a new notification.
"That's not right. This broken sword isn't yours, so you don't have the right to make this decision."
One of them argued and stepped closer to the camera to attempt to appeal to Elvis.
Elvis, who was still connected to the livestream, naturally heard the commotion on Shannon's end. In the face of the request, he firmly replied, "I've entrusted this sword to Ms. Jensen.
"So, however she chooses to handle it is how it'll be handled. I trust her judgment."
Elvis was not a naive man. After all, only Shannon had been able to accurately identify the cause of the issue with his swords, while others had been clueless. This was enough for him to trust her completely.
Not only did he want to maintain good relations with her, but he also valued his integrity as a businessman. Since he had asked Shannon to handle the matter, he shouldn't change his decision just because others were trying to intervene.
The livestream audience was flooded with comments of awe, praising Elvis' decisive attitude.
