Sienna snapped back at Oliver again, “It’s all your fault!”
Oliver stopped arguing with her as her colleague was there and kept silent.
He thought, “How would I know I was ruining your plan?”
Sienna took the item. It was a relatively beautiful dark red sword, about two inches long and half an inch wide.
She held it in her palm and looked at it for a while, but couldn’t tell the material from its weight or touch. An odd word or symbol, which she couldn’t understand, was engraved on one side of the sword.
“Ms. Kaiserman, can I take a look?” Oliver suddenly asked.
Sienna glanced at him and didn’t want to give it to him.
Oliver gestured and said, “I appraise luxury items, antique calligraphy and painting, and antiques. That thing you’re holding…”
Sienna’s heart skipped a beat. She seemed to remember that Joanna had told her that Oliver’s job was to appraise luxurious items.
After pondering for a while, she handed the sword to Oliver.
Oliver took and observed it in his hands. When he moved, the handcuffs shook and clicked.
Sienna took the key and unlocked it for him.

If not for his curiosity about the strange sword in his hand, Oliver would have yelled at Sienna, not let her uncuff him, and asked to meet her chief for an explanation.
word at pal
A few seconds after Oliver stared at the sword in his palm, a message appeared in his mind.
[Destiny’s Swiftblade, a meteorite metal, forged on February 12th, 987 CE. It was buried with Henry’s advisor, Freddy Mcgowan, on April 27th, 1646 CE. It was unearthed by Sean’s tomb raiding crew on April 14th, 2020 CE, and then transported and stored in a basement at No. 624 at West Dragon Village of Jeahron. On November 22nd, it was handed over to one of the subordinates, Brice Zeigler, as a token for the buyers to evaluate the overall value of the excavated item.]
After reading the message, Oliver thought, “Was Sienna’s mission to capture this group of tomb raiders?”
what it is?”
When Sienna saw Oliver’s stunned look, she frowned and coldly asked, “Can you tell
Oliver nodded and said, “It’s called Destiny’s Swiftblade. It was made of a mixture of meteorites and metals. Ancient people used it to cultivate sword tools. The cultivation of swords in the past was just a legendary story. It could not be real. According to current antique appraisal, it’s actually of little value.”
Sienna was a little disappointed. “Is it worthless?”
After pondering for a while, Oliver suddenly asked, “Is any of the two men you arrested named Brice?”
“Brice?” Sienna was stunned. Her brows flinched as she stared at him and asked, “How do you know his name?”
Oliver hurriedly explained, “I don’t know him. I know he’s a tomb raider and is with Sean…”
“Sean Miller!”
Sienna jumped up, grabbed Oliver’s sleeve, and asked trembling, “Y-You know where he is?”
Sienna was shocked. She and her team were investigating Sean’s tomb raiding crew and the illegal antique trading, but they couldn’t find concrete evidence.
Some time ago, Sienna and several colleagues disguised themselves as buyers and finally met Sean’s lackey, Brice.
However, Brice was particularly alert and cunning and kept his guard up against new buyers. After all kinds of tests, he let his guard down. They met today to take her to Sean, but she didn’t expect Oliver to alert the other party inadvertently.
Oliver shook his head. “How would I know where he is? I just heard that they have a hideout.”
“Where is it?” Sienna tightened her grip.
“Am I a criminal?” Oliver gritted his teeth and asked.
Sienna wanted to hit him again but managed to suppress the urge and force a smile on her face. “Tell me.”
Oliver pondered for a while and said, “I don’t know. I just happened to pass by a place and saw Sean coming out. As for whether it was his hideout or not, I don’t know about that. Besides, he doesn’t know me at all. I only heard his name when ! wandered around the old junk market.”
“Where is it?” Sienna didn’t bother to think about the authenticity of Oliver’s reason and asked where Sean might be.
“No. 624 at West Dragon Village.”
When Sienna heard this, she turned around and left, but after walking to the door, she told her colleague, “Keep an eye on him. Don’t let him go until we come back!”
Oliver gritted his teeth when he heard this and thought, “This girl abandoned me after getting the help needed. I don’t even know why I helped her just like that!”
An hour later, it was chaotic at the police station, and the siren of the police car kept ringing.
When Oliver saw Sienna again, she looked happy but shot him a dark look. She pretended to be serious and said, “Your problem is very serious. I advise you to be honest with me. How did you know about Sean’s tomb raiding crew? What deal did you make with them? How many times did you go to No. 624 at Dragon Village?”
Oliver’s head went numb. He had revealed secret information suddenly, so he wondered, “What should I do now? How can I get out of this?”
Oliver rubbed his face hard and regretted it, but he insisted and explained, “Didn’t I tell you I don’t know who Sean and Brice are? I never made any deals with them. Their names sounded familiar after hearing them at the old junk market once, and then I happened to meet him at Dragon Village. That’s it. Believe it or not. That’s the truth!”
Sienna glanced at him mockingly, “Do you think I’m a three-year-old? Do you think we’re all idiots?”
Oliver didn’t say anything.
Undoubtedly, Sienna didn’t believe him and interrogated him about Sean’s tomb raiding crew all night.
As many antiques and some ledgers were found in the basement at No: 624 at Dragon Village, Sean and his men couldn’t argue their

Sienna’s team raided the place and arrested the group all night. The following day, Sienna, with darkened eyes, entered the office and said to Oliver, who was taking a nap on the desk, “Oliver, someone is here to pick you up. Let’s go.”
Oliver woke up and looked at Sienna for a while. Then, he shook his head and said, “I’m not going anywhere. I want to see your chief.”
Sienna blushed and bit her lip in anger, but she still tried to calm herself down. She stared at Oliver and said, “About what happened yesterday, after the interrogation, we confirmed that you didn’t strike any deal with those people. However, you ruined our secret plan. Fortunately, the address and the information you provided were real. We arrested everyone from Sean’s tomb raiding crew and even captured those with connections with them and the buyers. You made a contribution. I’m sorry for what happened. I’ve misunderstood you!”
In fact, Sienna was still quite suspicious about Oliver and thought everything couldn’t be a coincidence.
However, she couldn’t do anything about it because no one in Sean’s group knew Oliver, and none of the deals had anything to do with Oliver or his shop. He was unrelated to the case, but his information helped her capture Sean and his men all at once. It didn’t make sense to her, but she could do nothing about it.
Oliver snorted and thought, “She locked me up for a night and simply thought an apology could solve the matter.”
However, when he thought about the blind date, he felt guilty and gave in.
After following Sienna out, he saw Hailey in the lobby, who stood out in the crowd.
When Sienna arrived, they became the center of attention. One was elegant, while the other was dashing, and both looked extremely beautiful.
