Chapter 2069
“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 blushing
slightly. “You mean a lot to me. Of course, I would worry about your safety.”
Jasper’s heartstrings were tugged by her honest confession. Nheless, she had never been one to
hold back her feelings.
“Don’t worry. I’lle 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 they
were highly trained mercenaries.
“I just—” Willow began to protest, but he gently held her face and kissed her tenderly.
Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise. Was that his tactic?

Well, it worked! She couldn’t resist and was definitely falling for it.
His kiss was gentle and intoxicating. Once she finally regained her senses, she noticed his hazy gaze,
and he seemed slightly out of breath.
“I promise I’lle back. Wait for me here,” Jasper said, gently pressing her onto the couch before
leaving.
“Jasper!” Willow sighed, feelingpelled to go out and check on him. When she reached him, he was
already donning his diving gear. So, she hurriedly ran over to perform various checks on him and made
sure he had the necessary self-defense equipment.
“Ricky, please ensure his safety,” she requested.
Ricky was amused, but he still assured her, “Understood, Miss Presgrave. Don’t worry!”
Deep down, he couldn’t shake the thought of who was truly taking care of whom. After they had faced
countless challenges together, Ricky hade to realize that even though all of them were highly
trained individuals, they could never hope to match Jasper’s abilities.
“Do you think I’m octuolly weoker thon your bodyguord?” Josper osked in o knowing tone.
“It’s not obout thot. I-I just con’t beor the thought of you in donger,” Willow replied, her cheeks blushing

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. Ricky
immediately handed her a bottle of water as heforted, “Miss Presgrave, don’t worry. Have a sip of
water.”
Willow used binocrs to scan the sea’s surface after taking a sip to calm her nerves. Although she
couldn’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 to
inspect 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 their
wits, 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 that
they wanted to protect. Jett didn’t need further confirmation as he was convinced that the relics they
were 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 he
personally 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 sessfully eluded everyone as he swam about a hundred meters away from the
fight. He continued onward, covering another two hundred meters until he finallyid eyes on the
dazzling 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. It
would undoubtedly be a massive fortune!
Just as Jett was about to draw nearer to the artifacts, an unexpected figure suddenly descended from
above and blocked his path. When he realized that this intruder was not one of his allies, he reacted
instinctively and threw a punch, hoping to gain the upper hand.
s, the man swiftly grabbed him and skillfully removed his oxygen tank. Jett’s eyes widened in terror
as 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 tond a few
punches on him before dragging him up.
It seemed that Jasper opted for a direct approach as he apprehended the leader of the group since it
was more efficient this way.
Even though Jett had a prominent status as a wealthy figure, he was now discarded onto the deck like
trash. 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.
