Just as Brigham was about to signal his men to take the boxes away, Yolanda suddenly spoke up. "Mr. Hansen Senior, you can't accept these items."
Both Nigel and Brigham were taken aback, turning to Yolanda with expressions of confusion.
Black Widow's previously calm demeanor also shifted, and she looked coldly at Yolanda, saying, "Little girl, these are rare treasures, and Mr. Hansen Senior needs them. Why wouldn't you let him accept them?"
Unaware of Yolanda's true identity, she assumed Yolanda belonged to the Hansen family and spoke with a hint of caution and probing.
"Don't speak out of turn! Who do you think you are to make decisions for Mr. Hansen Senior?"
Jimmy glared at Yolanda with disdain. He had been eyeing these treasures for a while. Brigham had invited them to protect Nigel, and once they returned home, Nigel would surely let him take some of them.
Just as the prize was within reach, Yolanda suddenly interrupted and said they couldn't accept it. Wasn't that just ruining their chances?
Jimmy was agitated, and his tone was harsh. "A little girl dares to speak so boldly! If it weren't for Mr. Hansen Senior, I would have kicked you out long ago!"
As soon as Jimmy finished speaking, Yolanda took out a silver needle she carried with her and stabbed it into some herbs inside one of the boxes.
Almost immediately, the needle turned black before everyone's eyes.
"What…?" Nigel and Brigham gasped in shock.
Jimmy and the members of the Eternal Clan stood frozen in disbelief.
Before Black Widow could react, Yolanda quickly grabbed a porcelain vial from the crate of artifacts and smashed it on the ground.
The vial shattered, revealing a small listening device hidden among the fragments.
