“Do you think I’m actually weaker than your bodyguard?” Jasper asked in a knowing tone.
“It’s not about that. I-I just can’t bear the thought of you in danger,” Willow replied, her cheeks blushingslightly. “You mean a lot to me. Of course, I would worry about your safety.”
Jasper’s heartstrings were tugged by her honest confession. Nonetheless, she had never been one tohold back her feelings.
“Don’t worry. I’ll come back safe and sound,” Jasper assured her.
However, she couldn’t shake her concerns. After all, Jett’s people were not to be taken lightly as theywere highly trained mercenaries.

Hence, Jasper’s decision to go underwater actually brought them a sense of security.
Willow watched them all jump into the sea from the deck, and her heart tightened with worry. Rickyimmediately handed her a bottle of water as he comforted, “Miss Presgrave, don’t worry. Have a sip ofwater.”
Willow used binoculars to scan the sea’s surface after taking a sip to calm her nerves. Although shecouldn’t see anything, it still helped somewhat to keep an eye out just in case.
Meanwhile, beneath the waves, Jett personally led the team to search for the treasure. They hoped toinspect the seabed discreetly and without drawing any attention.
To their surprise, a line of figures suddenly appeared before them. They were initially scared out of theirwits, but they soon recognized the people before them were none other than Willow’s bodyguard team.
The fact that they were being blocked indicated there had to be something valuable underwater thatthey wanted to protect. Jett didn’t need further confirmation as he was convinced that the relics theywere seeking were definitely hidden beneath the sea.
Jett hastily signaled to his men behind him and instructed them to handle the group in front while hepersonally ventured to the relics’ location.
His men swiftly swam over and engaged in a fierce duel with Ricky’s team in the sea.
While the two groups were locked in the underwater fight, Jett surreptitiously slipped away to the side.Unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes had already fixed their gaze on him.
Hence, Jasper’s decision to go underwater actually brought them a sense of security.
Jett believed he had successfully eluded everyone as he swam about a hundred meters away from thefight. He continued onward, covering another two hundred meters until he finally laid eyes on thedazzling artifacts resting on the seabed. The sight left him awestruck; there were so many treasures!
The mere thought of possessing even half of those artifacts sent his heart racing with excitement. Itwould undoubtedly be a massive fortune!
Just as Jett was about to draw nearer to the artifacts, an unexpected figure suddenly descended fromabove and blocked his path. When he realized that this intruder was not one of his allies, he reactedinstinctively and threw a punch, hoping to gain the upper hand.novelbin
Alas, the man swiftly grabbed him and skillfully removed his oxygen tank. Jett’s eyes widened in terroras his face mask was taken off. He felt an overwhelming pressure crushing him, and he began to
drown.
Thus, he desperately swam towards the surface, but the man underwater managed to land a fewpunches on him before dragging him up.
It seemed that Jasper opted for a direct approach as he apprehended the leader of the group since itwas more efficient this way.
Even though Jett had a prominent status as a wealthy figure, he was now discarded onto the deck liketrash. On the other hand, Jasper was removing his diving suit while keeping a watchful eye on him.
“W-Why is it you again? Who the hell are you?” Jett felt increasingly haunted by Jasper’s presence,and an instinctive sense of fear began to creep in.
