Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Hello, Spiritual Affairs Flash Delivery "Wait a moment, someone’s coming, I’ll go check."

The older man spoke to the camera as he left the collection room.

When he reached the video doorbell outside the collection room, he saw two young men standing at the entrance of the villa, both dressed in black clothes and wearing black hats.

The older man instinctively furrowed his brow.

The security at this villa was usually quite good. Visitors were typically stopped at the main gate of the villa area, and the security would contact the homeowner for permission.

But he hadn’t received any notification from security just now, so how did these two get in?

"Who is it? What do you want?"

"Hello, Spiritual Affairs Express. You have an appointment for a pickup order."

On the other side of the video doorbell, the young man with the black hat spoke politely. Perhaps due to the distances or the video intercom, his voice sounded slightly distorted.

The older man was puzzled, thinking to himself that he never scheduled a pickup.

But before he could speak, Scarlett Jennings’ calm voice came through the phone again, "I placed the pickup order. They will be responsible for taking away the broken sword."

Hearing this, the older man was a bit surprised. It should have been less than five minutes since he sent the address, right?

When did she place the order?

And why did they arrive so fast??

Not only was he puzzled, but the program’s guests and live-stream viewers on the other end were also puzzled.

[It seems like the girl is quite fond of calling express services; she ordered an express delivery for that Bella’s mother during the second episode.]

[What express service did the girl use that’s so fast? I’d like to try it, mainly because I want to use the same company as the girl!]

[I think it’s called Spiritual Affairs Express? Wait, isn’t that the APP the girl mentioned before?]

[What? An APP specifically for the Mystical Sect offering express services?]

The older man originally intended to disconnect the live stream but seeing that everyone was curious, he didn’t hang up immediately; instead, he opened the door for them while taking his phone upstairs.

Because it wasn’t convenient to point the camera directly at people, he placed the phone at his waist, allowing the lens to only capture below the neck of the visitors.

In the live stream, viewers could see that at the entrance, which was opened in advance, stood two young men in black clothes and pants.

The clothes appeared to be a uniform, but there was no logo visible on them.

Although the door was open, the two young men stood outside and didn’t enter until the older man invited them in. Only then did they step inside.

Only then did everyone notice that they had a half-man-tall black box of indiscernible material with them.

One of them spoke, his voice carrying a hint of politeness, "Hello, please take us to the location of the broken sword."

The older man felt that these two had a somewhat cold demeanor, but considering they were sent by the young master to collect the sword, it seemed understandable for them to be a little unusual.

He led the two back to the basement collection room.

Upon reaching the door, he noticed the two suddenly halted.

Turning his head, he saw their expressions inexplicably serious, just as he was about to inquire, one of them suddenly pulled out a black talisman from his pocket.

The person cautiously affixed the black talisman to the doorframe of the collection room before following the older man inside at a slow pace.

Recalling Scarlett Jennings’ words, the older man didn’t dare approach too closely. Pointing to the broken sword in the glass cabinet in the corner, he said, "That’s the sword. There was a box when I acquired it; let me find it for you."

"No need," one of the young men smiled, "We brought one."

After speaking, they respectfully placed the half-man-tall box on a table beside them. The older man eagerly filmed the black box.

In the program’s live stream, several new students from the Taoism Academy appeared eager.

Because they weren’t wearing microphones, the live broadcast audience didn’t hear them clearly, but nearby program staff members vaguely overheard their whispers.

"Isn’t this the Yi Kui from the twelve sealing magic artifact made of thunderstruck willow wood?! I’ve seen pictures before!"

"I know, it’s said Ivan acquired it from somewhere, later put it in the auction house, and the entire set of twelve was bought by Spiritual Affairs!"

"Ever since partnering with the Underworld, Spiritual Affairs has become more extravagant. They’re even using such magic artifacts for pickups!!"

"Darn, I really want to touch it. I specialize in magic artifacts, maybe I should place an order, too."

"Forget it, the points needed for delivering with such level artifacts could bankrupt you."

The new students whispered to each other, their eagerness evident in their glances at the black box during the live stream, as well as the admiration occasionally directed at Scarlett Jennings.

Audience: ???

Meanwhile, in the live stream, the two young men with black hats had put on black gloves from somewhere, and one of them gently took the broken sword from the shelf.

Though the broken sword seemed weightless, the young man cautiously held it with both hands.

Only after placing the broken sword into the box did the other young man quickly seal the box.

The older man felt inexplicably tense just watching from the side.

"After this broken sword is taken away, there shouldn’t be anything else here, right?"

One of the young men with a black hat glanced at the rusted swords in the collection room and nodded slightly, "You can dispose of the abandoned swords here as you wish."

Saying that, he pulled a gilded black envelope from his waist bag.

"This is a check from Mr. Ivan. If you’re not satisfied with the amount, you can contact the business card inside, and someone will discuss it with you."

The older man was a bit surprised, but instead of opening it immediately, he saw the two out.

Then he thanked Scarlett Jennings and disconnected from the live stream.

Back in the study, he opened the black envelope, and upon seeing the amount on the check, even he couldn’t help but widen his eyes slightly.

For a moment, the heartache from the destroyed collection was entirely soothed by seeing the compensation amount.

Although the older man disconnected the live stream, the broadcast of "Inspiration" continued, with many viewers asking Scarlett Jennings about the amount on the check.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t address the audience’s questions, focusing instead on sending messages back to Ivan.

[Scarlett Jennings: You cover the points for this order.]

[Ivan: Tsk, you weren’t this assertive when you asked me to help you find something.]

Scarlett Jennings was busy sending messages, not seeing Gregory Xander’s complex look as he glanced at her. After a while, he finally asked, "How did you figure out there was a sword spirit in his collection room’s broken sword?"

This wasn’t something the Harmony Eyes could simply see.

Especially since the broken sword wasn’t captured by the camera when the older man introduced his collection during the live stream.

Through the internet, she couldn’t sense it either.

He didn’t understand how she determined the problem was with a broken sword placed in the corner through the network.

Gregory Xander knew he undoubtedly lost this round.

Precisely because he lost, he had to find out exactly where he was outdone!
