“Spare me! Please, spare me!” Jett begged in fear as he never imagined that the man constantly by Willow would be so skilled.
“I promise you. I will chase you to the ends of the earth if you dare lay a finger on Willow.” Jasper’s warning that pierced Jett’s ears sounded like they were the words spoken by the God of Death himself.
Regardless, Jasper still knocked Jett unconscious with a single punch. He had initially wanted to see why Jett had kidnapped him, but now it seemed like Jett was just trying to threaten him.
When Jett finally woke up from his impromptu nap, he kicked the door in frustration when he found that Jasper was already long gone.
In the evening, a massive ship appeared on the horizon in the sun set. Willow picked up her binoculars and exclaimed joyfully, “Our people have arrived.”
As she turned her head, she noticed that the man next to her had returned. So, she asked curiously, “Why did you take so long? Nothing happened, right?”
“Right.” Jasper shook his head.
She didn’t dwell on it as she happily gazed into the distance with her binoculars. Her spirits soared at the thought that her mission would soon be completed.
He couldn’t help but feel happy as his gaze landed on her joyous face.
On the other hand, not only did Jett not get anything out of the interrogation, but he soon received a message from his subordinates that another large ship had arrived at Willow’s location. This made him extremely anxious. It seemed like Willow had found the cultural relics.
Then again, where exactly are the relics?
On the mountains?
Or did they hide the relics?
After an hour of sailing, the massive ship finally arrived at its destination, precisely where the cultural relics were located. This made the salvage work far more convenient.
As Willow boarded the ship, she was greeted by a neat row of bodyguards, who respectfully called out, “Miss!”
“Thank you all for your hard work,” Willow replied with a smile, exuding the air of a wealthy young lady.
Winston also gathered his subordinates on board and briefed them on their discovery. All the crew members were delighted. Then, Winston also explained the reasons behind their secrecy. After the incident with Morgan, they knew that the less they knew, the safer they would be.
Next, they discussed the salvage plan. The sharks that Jasper had previously attracted to the area had already left. This was because the location was not a place where sharks typically lingered for long periods of time. They were not likely to return now that there was no food to lure them here.
Since the cultural relics had been underwater for quite some time, any disturbance required extreme caution. Thus, the work had to be carried out by professional divers, and Willow, who had experience in relic collection, decided to join the diving team.
This worried a certain man. So, once the meeting adjourned, he took her back to their room and sternly insisted, “You are not allowed to go underwater.”
“Why not? We have a large team and complete equipment. Why can’t I go?” Willow wanted to see the relics for herself. Plus, she wasn’t as delicate as he seemed to think. She even had a diving certificate to prove it.
Hence, she was perfectly capable of pulling this off!
“There’s no reason. You simply can’t,” Jasper growled. He was being overbearing, hoping she would stay on the ship. There were too many unpredictable factors underwater. He couldn’t help but worry about any potential risks.
Willow knew that he was just concerned about her. So, she reached out and hugged his waist while looking at him with a pitiful expression. “Please, just let me go underwater! I promise I will be careful, Jasper.”
After that, she held his hand and swung it around, as if he was the decision-maker for this project whereas she was just his employee.
In reality, Willow was the one who called the shots here!
“You will have to stay close to me and not leave my sight.” The man sighed. He was only willing to compromise if she agreed to his terms.
Willow immediately hugged his neck happily as she tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. “Got it! I will definitely stay by your side.”
Jasper let out a soft sigh. “You’ll be the death of me.”
However, she was grinning from ear to ear. His words merely meant that she had the ability to control him!
To her, this was definitely not a bad thing! She now had the upper hand on him and could keep him in the palm of her hand forever.
No other woman was allowed to get close to him except for her. In fact, she could already feel a wave of jealousy wash over her at just the thought of this.
Such an intense feeling of possessiveness was something she had never felt toward anyone else before.
After they decided on the time to dive, everyone started to prepare their equipment. None of them dawdled as they wasted no time in getting underwater. The seabed was clear, and as it was a shallow sea, these relics had been quietly resting here for a thousand years. Some metals still emitted a sparkling glow under the sunlight.
Willow wore a diving suit and followed closely beside Jasper. Frankly, they looked like a lovely merman and mermaid swimming together as they donned tight-fitting suits.
Jasper would frequently turn around to look at her, and she would swiftly respond by giving him a thumbs-up gesture, indicating that she was doing fine.
The salvaging work soon began. She cleaned the relics and placed them on the salvage equipment nearby as he stayed beside her like a dutiful sentinel. Sometimes, he would help her take the larger items from her.
The first day of salvage was a great success. According to the list, they had salvaged two hundred relics on the first day. It was incredibly exciting for them.
At the same time, Jett was constantly observing the island, not knowing what Willow was up to. A person wearing a diving suit entered his sight right then.
He instantly understood what was happening and angrily flung the binoculars aside. “The relics are in the sea, and Willow Presgrave is salvaging them. Damn it!”
Once he said that, he started scolding the people who had refused to go underwater a few days ago. “You people have ruined my grand plan.”
“But… we really saw several sharks swimming in the sea that day.”
“I don’t care. I don’t care if there are sharks or not. Prepare the diving suits and go underwater immediately. I want to know if the relics are in the sea! We have to grab some for ourselves before they are done salvaging.”
Jett’s subordinates didn’t dare to tarry a second longer. Since Willow’s people were already underwater, they were fine with making the same trip. Thus, they hastily put on the diving equipment and were ready to dive toward Willow’s cruise ship.
Meanwhile, Willow also received some news.
“What? Jett’s people have also gone underwater? How many of them are there?”
“There are over a dozen of them. They’ve already gotten into the water. Miss, please notify Ricky and stop them.”
Willow immediately called for a meeting, instructing Ricky to take 20 bodyguards and stop these divers from approaching the salvage site.
“I’m going too,” Jasper suggested.
Willow couldn’t help but look at him with worry upon hearing his words. It was such a turn of events as it was now her turn to worry. She wasn’t just worried about the safety of her bodyguards, but also about his safety.
