It just happened to be a reasonable excuse that wouldn't alert the enemies.
Knox came prepared this time. He arranged for a dozen bodyguards to lead the way as they barged into Caldwell Antiques.
It was still within business hours at that time. The customers in Caldwell Antiques watched as a dozen vicious-looking bodyguards barged into the shop. They were so frightened they all rushed to hide behind the racks.
The employees who were serving their customers were horrified. They rushed to call for security and went to the manager's office at the back of the shop to look for Edna.
"Who are you? How dare you look for trouble here at Caldwell Antiques?" Rivero mustered up the courage to question Knox's bodyguards, only to be pushed away by them.
"Stop your nonsense. Get Edna Moorley out here now."
Knox held a baseball bat in his hand as he pointed to the expensive pottery in the shop. "If I don't see her within five minutes, I'll destroy your shop."
Usually, Knox didn't have to do all this himself. He just needed to give an order and there would be countless people at his disposal doing his bidding for him.
However, the bracelet he had gotten for five million dollars was tampered with poison. There was no way he could let them go so easily.
When Yolanda got to the center of the shop, she started looking around at the interior design and item placements.
She realized that the antique shop now had a new interior design since she last came. There was also the addition of a large collection of gemstone boulders displayed on the shelves on the wall, filling up the entire space.
Yolanda did a rough estimation. There must be at least 10 thousand gemstone boulders displayed in that shop. From the surface of these boulders, they looked like they had just arrived from Myaten.
It was recently a quieter season for the antique collection community. Since there was once a gemstone boulder gambling trend that had swept through Creybia recently, Edna thought that it was profitable here as well, so she had gotten a lot of boulders imported in an attempt to boost sales in the quieter seasons.
