Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Competing for the Sword Spirit

The man on the other end of the live broadcast nodded in agreement, "Go ahead! I trust you!"

Scarlett Jennings asked him to send her the address in a private message.

Once she received it, she was about to place an order, but before she could continue, a freshman watching all the excitement suddenly spoke up,

"Scarlett, can my family have this broken sword? We have an elder who specializes in researching ancient swords. We can take it!"

This unexpected proposal from the freshman left Scarlett no time to react, and suddenly another freshman jumped in,

"Scarlett! My family can take it too! We have a family sealing array that can ensure the sword spirit won’t cause any trouble!"

"Wow! You guys are so sneaky! By that logic, it should be given to my family, as we once worshipped a sword spirit!"

"Why should it be you? My family wants it too!"

"Scarlett! Give it to my family. We can offer a price!"

"So can we!"

"All of you back off. If I hadn’t spoken up, none of you would have thought of this, and now you’re trying to steal from me!"

"Scarlett, don’t listen to them!"

The originally peaceful live broadcast suddenly became bustling due to the arguments of a few freshmen.

Even the show’s guests and the viewers in front of the live stream were stunned.

Seriously, do all Mystical Sect folks have such peculiar hobbies?

Scarlett Jennings hadn’t expected that her attempt to handle a broken sword and its sword spirit for someone in need would actually trigger a scramble.

Just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly chimed with a message notification.

Scarlett instinctively glanced at her screen, and when she saw the content, her eyebrows slightly raised.

The message was from Ivan.

The content was very concise, just two words.

["Give me."]

It didn’t specify what to give, but the meaning was clear, and those two words carried a sense of inevitability.

Scarlett instinctively looked up at the live broadcast in front of her.

It seemed Ivan was also watching the live stream.

But then, considering he had previously tipped her during a live broadcast, it wasn’t surprising.

So, while the freshmen were still arguing among themselves over who would take the broken sword, Scarlett had already made a decision.

"Someone’s already claimed the broken sword."

As soon as she said this, the freshmen immediately turned to Scarlett with disbelief and unwillingness on their faces,

"Who? Scarlett, you can’t just make decisions on your own!"

"We’re all classmates, how can you give it to someone else?"

"No way, this broken sword isn’t yours to begin with, you don’t have the right to decide."

One of them said this, and even stepped up to the camera, trying to contact the collector on the other end through the live broadcast, urging him to give the broken sword to their family.

The man, still connected to the call, naturally heard the commotion on Scarlett’s side.

Faced with this request, he directly said,

"I’ve already entrusted this broken sword to the young master, so I’ll handle it as she sees fit. I’m following her lead."

The man was not without knowledge.

Judging by earlier, when he explained the situation with the sword and everyone was confused except for Scarlett, who immediately identified the reason behind it, he knew he could only trust her with this matter.

It wasn’t just to do her a favor, but as a businessman.

Businessmen value integrity.

Since he initially asked Scarlett to handle it, even if others wanted to snatch it away now, he wouldn’t change his decision.

Upon hearing the man’s declaration, the live broadcast audience exploded in admiration.

[That man’s got guts!]

[Props to the man!]

[I love how he sticks to his word and won’t change his mind because of a few words from others.]

[I’m beginning to see now, this broken sword is quite the coveted item among the Mystical Sect folks.]

[It’s not exactly wrong for them to want the sword. The other party even said they’d offer a price, and Scarlett seems a bit dictatorial deciding who gets it.]

[Isn’t it her choice? The man entrusted it to her, isn’t it her freedom to give it to whoever she decides?]

[I trust she has her own considerations in mind.]

[I just want to know, will the person Scarlett is giving it to pay for it?]

The viewers of the live broadcast started discussing the sudden development.

Scarlett didn’t pay attention to the comments in the live stream, she just looked at the man with a gentler gaze.

She then turned to the freshmen who had spoken up and remained composed despite the accusations and hints at her decisions.

"I mentioned earlier that this broken sword spirit is tainted with a thousand years of evil qi. Are any of you sure you can handle that evil qi?"

She spoke and glanced at one of them, "You mentioned sealing the sword spirit, are you sure it can be thoroughly sealed without retaliation?"

Scarlett’s words made the previously vying freshmen look slightly embarrassed.

Clearly, they couldn’t guarantee it.

They had heard of a legendary sword spirit and thought about how they could gain commendation from their elders if they could take it home.

Nevertheless, one of them still couldn’t help but argue after hearing Scarlett’s words,

"Can the person you intend to give the sword spirit to handle those issues you’re talking about?"

Even though they weren’t certain, their family elders might be capable.

Scarlett saw the reluctance on the person’s face and simply said,

"The person who asked me for the sword spirit is Ivan. Are you sure you want to compete with him?"

Upon Scarlett’s mention of "Ivan," the live broadcast and the guests present were still in the dark, but most of the freshmen present, including Gregory Xander, couldn’t help but look at Scarlett with shock.

"Do you mean that Ivan?"

Gregory Xander was clearly skeptical, especially since he had watched her receive the message and make this decision, "How do you know Ivan?"

And have his contact information?

It’s crucial to know that Ivan is a prominent figure in the Mystical Sect.

He’s akin to a Mystical Sect businessman, whose auction house nearly monopolized most of the Mystical Sect’s magical artifacts.

Moreover, this man has extensive connections, able to find anyone or anything.

Whatever you want, as long as he has it.

However, he doesn’t take everyone’s orders.

Gregory Xander had met the man and knew how hard it was to approach him.

While most of the freshmen had only heard of Ivan, their elders had advised them not to offend him.

Scarlett openly mentioned this name in front of everyone, leaving the freshmen with no choice but to give up.

How could they compete with him?

They simply stood no chance.

Scarlett, seeing their intentions fade, turned her attention back to the collector, speaking softly,

"After the appraisal of the broken sword spirit, I’ll provide you with a fair price."

She paused briefly, then added seriously, "I guarantee you won’t lose out."

The man, seeing the expressions of the freshmen, understood instantly and smiled with satisfaction, nodding at Scarlett through the screen,

"If the young master says so, I certainly believe you."

Just as he finished his words, they heard the doorbell ring from upstairs.
