“Yes, Miss Presgrave.” Ricky nodded. “If anyone dares to betrayagain, their fate will be the sas
Morgan's. | called you here to assist me, and | won't treat you unfairly, but | won't tolerate any traitors or disloyal
individuals.” Willow's sharp gaze swept over all the team members.
The team members usually found Willow easy to get along with, but now, they knew she was not to be trifled
with after seeing her expression.
Soon, Morgan was escorted onto a speedboat, with his hands and feet bound, and sent to a nearby country.
Although they had caught Morgan, Willow's mood was still affected. She found it difficult to calm her emotions
and walked alone toward a nearby path.
A figure silently followed her and he did not take his eyes off her. Willow stood in a spot as she looked at the
distant scenery. She knew Jasper was following her, so she sighed and turned to look at him. I'm really worried.

them. He reassured her, “You know I'll do everything in my power to help you wherever you need it, right?” She
nodded and felt much more at ease with him by her side.
“Thank you for helpingunconditionally. Without you, we wouldn't have been so successful.” Willow expressed
her gratitude. Jasper’s gaze softened as he looked at her and said, “You don’t have to thank me. I'm willing to
help you.”
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked with a smile, “How can I repay you when | go back?” His gaze
locked onto her for a few seconds before he shook his head. “I don’t need your repayment.”
Willow becanxious. “No. | must repay you.” Whatever he asked for, she would repay him. Jasper’s heart was
filled with complexity and bitterness when he was faced with the sincerity in Willow's eyes. She was like a pure
untouchable lily, and his identity was tainted with too much blood. He was not worthy of standing by her side..
His participation in this mission was merely wishful thinking since he was not seeking any rewards or repayment.
“Let's talk about this after we complete this mission. Now is not the tto discuss this,” he commented as he
turned around to leave.
Willow beceven more anxious behind him. “Why can’t we talk about it now?” As she spoke, she walked
quickly toward him, but in her hurry and the uneven rocky terrain, she tripped.
“Ah!” she exclaimed, and her two fair and tender knees hit the ground, causing them to bleed. Jasper turned
around and rushed to her side before lifting her into his arms. He looked at her two scraped knees, and his heart
clenched with pain. Then, he scooped her into his arms.
Willow clung to his neck and looked at him with a pitiful expression. “You left before | finished speaking.” At that
point, Jasper blamed himself. He shouldn't have left like that. “Be more careful next time,” he advised in a low
and gentle voice.

Willow gazed at him, and deep down, she made. a decision. Regardless of whether he wanted her to repay him
or not, she would do it. It was her unilateral declaration.
Upon reaching the medical room, Johannal applied disinfectant to Willow's wounds and bandaged them. At the
moment, Winston was studying the artifacts unearthed from the archaeological excavation. In addition to the
ancient map, they had also found suseful information-a few notes hidden on a piece of bamboo slips.
This was valuable information not available to Jett. Winston was being especially careful this tand didn’t
share this matter in the group chat. Instead, he cto discuss it with Willow.
“Willow, see if you can find any clues. The notes say they lost their ship on this island, so they all stayed until the
last generation.”
“If they lost their ship, the artifacts must still be on this island then. It would be passed down from generation to
generation and guarded.”
