“Have some coffee to stay alert!” Willow said to him. Jasper obediently took a few sips of coffee. Just as he was about to put the cup down, Willow held onto the cup and started drinking from the same cup.
Jasper’s heart skipped a beat as he worked on his computer and swiftly noticed several hacker accounts attempting to breach his defenses. A faint smirk appeared on his lips; it was a smile. of contempt.
Willow placed the cup of coffee down as she looked at his broad back and reached out tentatively. Even though she couldn’t understand the complex programs on his computer, she still wanted to be near him as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her chin against his shoulder.
He turned his face to the side in response. She couldn’t help but giggle as their cheeks pressed against the others’ before she planted two quick kisses on his cheek.
His composure wavered slightly, and a faint smile crept onto his lips as he was unable to resist the sweet gesture. It was clear that she was also basking in the moment as she simply nestled into his shoulder.
In the afternoon, the two of them enjoyed the subtle atmosphere in the room, which was even more exhilarating than being in a real romantic. relationship. “What are you doing?” Willow asked.
“Building a firewall, Jasper replied absentmindedly while his fingers typed away complex code that seemed to flow effortlessly under his hands. She shot him a look of admiration. “You’re amazing.”
Although he had heard similar praises in the past, it was different when it fell from her lips.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Jett’s team was tense and restless. His subordinates were all brainstorming for ideas when one of them blurted, “Why don’t we check underwater? Perhaps the ship sank here all those years. ago?”
“You’re right! We haven’t found anything on the island yet, but there might be clues underwater.” Jett started contemplating the plausibility of this option; even though it might be a waste of resources, it was still worth a try.
His subordinates, feeling the pressure and fearing criticism, decided to take the plunge into the sea to see if they could find any clues.
Willow arranged for her family’s bodyguards to spy on their movements. When evening fell, they reported some crucial information. Willow, Winston, and Jasper discussed the situation in the meeting room.
Willow was understandably anxious since the shipwreck was nearby. There was a high chance the others might very well stumble upon it if they went underwater.
“We can’t let them find it before we do; otherwise, they’ll take everything for themselves, she muttered anxiously. She was growing increasingly agitated because this operation meant a lot to her.
Jasper put his hand on her shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t worry. I won’t let them get their hands on it until we do.”
Winston sighed wearily. “Mr. Wyatt, based on my observations last time, Jett Jefferson has brought over a dozen muscles with him. We do have our men, but things might get out of control the instant we’re in conflict. The artifacts are important, but so are our lives, especially Sweetie here.”
She was the baby of the Presgrave Family. Since they couldn’t decide on what to do for now, Willow stepped outside to catch some fresh air. She had asked around and discovered that her family’s salvage team would take at least three days to make it here.
Jasper leaned against the railing and tenderly gazed at her stressed figure. At that moment, he desperately wanted to ease her emotions. He couldn’t help but feel his heart ache at her anxious expression whenever he laid his eyes on her.
Willow forced herself to ease up a bit as she smiled at Jasper. ‘Don’t worry about me. I’m just a bit nervous. I’ll be fine.”
Jasper reached out to tidy her bangs, which had been blown into an utter mess by the sea breeze. “Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone take away what is yours.”
Unfortunately, she was unaware that her nervousness only exacerbated the anxiety dwelling within the man’s heart; he just didn’t show it. She leaned into his embrace and hugged his sturdy body. “I know. I feel much more at ease with you here.”
Yet, Jasper wanted her to be absolutely worry- free. The little wrinkle between her brows only tugged at his heartstrings.
That night, the bodyguards sent back a message that Jett’s team was preparing to go underwater early the next morning.
The intense emotions overwhelmed Willow, causing her to have trouble sleeping that night. Now that they had found the treasure, she had to watch helplessly as someone else took it away before they could lay their claim on it. It was truly distressing for her.
This was international waters where Jett had the authority to do anything without facing any consequences.
Later, Willow heard some speed boats had set off. So, she dashed to Winston’s office but couldn’t find Jasper anywhere. “Where is he?”
“Mr. Wyatt just went out to sea. He said he had something to take care of.”
“What is he doing out there?” “I’m afraid I don’t know as he didn’t say why. He always acts so mysteriously, and it’s not like I can ask him just like that, Winston explained.
Johanna comforted her, “Miss, don’t worry! Mr. Wyatt is probably just doing what needs to be done.” “I just hope he doesn’t encounter any danger.”
Willow’s worries intensified as time passed. Where had Jasper gone? He had gone to the pirate ship which had become something like a ghost ship. There was an advanced fishing net here, and he used his computer to operate the ship’s fishing equipment.
An hour later, the automatic fishing equipment brought nearly 1000 pounds of fish. He had at rather simple plan for these fish; he wanted to attract the rulers of the sea-sharks.
He had researched the area and found that past researchers had detected the presence of numerous sharks in this area of international waters. Fortunately, the sharks mostly dwelled in the deep sea and rarely approached the coastal waters. However, if there was a significant amount of fish blood in the area, it could attract them to swarm the area.
Sharks were not particularly interested in human blood, but they had a strong attraction to fish blood. As long as there was blood around the area, the sharks would be attracted to swim out of their dwellings. It also definitely. helped that they had an extremely sensitive sense of smell when it came to their prey.
That was precisely what Jasper was trying to do-attract the sharks. He knew that the only way to stop Jett’s actions was to make them fear going underwater and prevent them from diving. All he needed to do was buy a few more days for their own salvage team to arrive.
Nearly a hundred fish were chopped up and thrown into the sea, spreading the smell of blood around the boat. Once Jasper was done, he stood on the deck, observing the surroundings using a telescope..
This task required absolute patience, and it just so happened it was something he excelled at.
Sleep continued to elude Willow as she remained on the boat, unable to contact him. She had no idea what he was planning.
Around 4.00AM, the full moon in the sky glowed brighter. Suddenly, the boat he was on shook slightly when something bumped into it. from below.
Jasper instinctively picked up a flare and threw it into the water. Several dorsal fins emerged on the surface of the water, indicating that his ‘summoning’ had succeeded.
The sharks swam around the area without venturing too far as they started competing for the fish floating around. As dawn approached, his speed boat returned to the coastline. It was loaded with ten packages of minced fish meat.
Then, he used a telescope to watch Jett’s team that was preparing to dive into the sea. Jasper wasted no time in tossing the fish meat into the sea, specifically placing it around the areal where the shipwreck was located.
At this moment, Jett’s team was just about to head out to sea. They had already discussed amongst themselves and eventually decided to dive about a kilometer away from their boat. Just as they were going through the diving plan on their boat, a female team member suddenly pointed at the sea in terror. “What is that? Oh, my goodness! Is that a shark?”
Other team members immediately gathered. around as some of them picked up binoculars and looked at the dorsal fins on the water before they exclaimed in panic, “What’s going on?! Why are there sharks here?”
“What should we do? We can’t dive if there’s a risk of shark attacks. It would be disastrous.” Although they were hired for the job, their lives were always their top priority.
“Hurry! Contact Jett and report the situation here.” After Jett received the call and a few photos soon after, he immediately cursed in frustration, “Sh*t.”
“Boss, we can’t dive today. We can’t take the risk now that there are sharks lurking in the area.” Jett had no choice but to give up upon hearing those words. So, he ordered them to return and wait until the sharks were gone before deciding on a new diving date.
Willow also soon received a report from the bodyguards that Jett’s crew had returned. “Why did they turn around?” Willow asked in surprise.
“We are not sure what is going on, but none of them have gone underwater. Even their equipment was unloaded from the ship.”
Regardless of the reason, Willow couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just then, she heard someone outside greeting Jasper. So, she rushed out in excitement and threw herself into his arms. “Good news! Jett’s men didn’t dive.”
Jasper gently pushed her away from his embrace. “I know.” She blinked, a bit puzzled that he had been absent all night. To make matters even stranger, he was even rejecting her physical affections.
