Shane couldn't allow himself to look like he was in a dire situation in order to receive their support.
Because of that, he decided to ignore the replies for a few hours until his countdown reached exactly.

He estimated that the Elus race was trying the same but they needed resources in order to build up a strong combat force to expand their power towards other shelters.
This would increase the resources they could obtain, to sell or barter for more elemental crystals or other items required to increase their strength further.
It wasn't like they were desperately trying to receive certain items like it was the case with the Corvi race because it would still take some time for them to strengthen the newborn elements for a new, stronger generation to appear, which Shane knew.
His words weren't detailed and a huge or small stock could mean a lot while the tag [Mortal] he added to the message indicated that Shane knew about their plans more than the outside.
In the end, newborn elementals couldn't directly strengthen their affinity from 0 to 100 and they had to do it in small steps which made it mandatory for them to absorb Mortal grade elemental crystals.
They had never heard of a merchant called Orus but thinking that he had some connections to their race, a certain degree of curiosity was ignited within them while at the same time their desire for his mortal staged elemental crystals increased as a new generation of elements were on the way to awaken.
Shane couldn't know for sure that the Elus race wanted to expand their business on a larger scale but it was obvious that purchasing resources had a certain meaning.
Furthermore, he was lucky to have lied to the Elus race with his connections to an Elus citizen which gained him the minimum amount of trust the race gave everyone who was connected to their brethren.
It was some kind of tradition, Shane didn't know about.
This tradition wasn't a secret but not many knew of it and Shane could be said to be lucky because he only wrote an Elus 'citizen' and not something like a merchant, royal, or elite as they would most likely approach him with more sincerity after ensuring that everything stated was true.
They would most likely ask him for the Elus noble/merchant/elite's name, unveiling his lie, severing the possibility of a trading agreement immediately.
Fortunately, Shane kept his sanity and only wrote Elus citizen and the trust he received was only minuscule, not worth asking for the name of the citizen as hundreds of millions existed, which wasn't the case for the higher classes.
Opening the system, Shane was taken aback because more than ten messages entered his view.
The authorities hadn't replied to him but unknown merchants wrote him and they were most likely ordered to make a deal with him.
Most messages asked about the number of elemental crystals he was able to provide in a short amount of time which Shane could only answer honestly with a small predicted number added to his calculation.
