Remnants of the killing desire inside Jasper’s eyes terrified Jett, making him retreat backward, afraid the other would throw him into the shark-infested waters.
At that moment, Willow arrived with the others, and Jett immediately pleaded to her, saying, “Miss Presgrave, please save me.”
Willow did not expect Jasper to bring Jett over here, and she snorted. “Jett, how bold of you to take something that’s mine.”
“Miss Presgrave, it’s all a misunderstanding. I’m just an avid scuba diver.” “I was going to surrender those artifacts to the country, so you’d better not have any ideas. about them.”
Then, Jasper spoke up. “Lock him up for a few days and release him once we’re finished here.” “Do you even have the authority to do so? I will sue you all!” Jett bellowed as he refused to get locked up.
“That’s a good idea. We’re in no man’s land anyway, so let’s do it!” Willow had the same idea, but she was even happier that Jasper had. returned safe and sound.
Eventually, Jett was locked up while his men returned to his base. Though confused at what had happened, those men did not take any action.
Their salvage work went smoothly for the next two days, and Willow dived with them. This line of work was very meaningful to her.
Meanwhile, Jasper stayed with her all the while, and after a week’s worth of salvaging and searching, they finally,retrieved all the artifacts from the sunken ship. There were over seven thousand items found, which was an immense number.
Once those artifacts were retrieved, they had to be brought back to be preserved and repaired. That meant today would be Willow’s last day here, so they released Jett that afternoon and left with the boat.
Unconvinced that Willow had brought everything away, Jett dived back down to. double-check. When he saw the three empty sunken ships, he was so angry that he almost fainted. Needless to say, those two had taken everything away.
When Jasper saw the card, he was stunned for a few seconds before he shook his head. “I won’t take your money.”
Surprised, Willow asked, “Why don’t you want it? Is it because you think of me as your family?”
The man was silent. She then asked, “You’d only reject repayment from those you’re close with! So, do you consider me your family?”
However, the man had no chance of replying, for Willow pushed the card forward again and puffed her cheeks. “Regardless, you should take the money!”
After having seen through her tricks, Jasper shook his head while smiling. “I won’t take your money.”
