“No, I have to head down now.” Willow could not wait for another second, leaving Johanna with no


    choice but to trail after her. “Miss Presgrave, I’ll escort you.”


    On the ind, the bodyguards were just as dumbfounded. At the sight of five new corpses that


    belonged to the pirates, Ricky immediately ordered his men to take the bodies away and clean the


    surroundings before Willow caught sight of such a blood-curdling scene.


    “Wait, did you see Mr. Wyatt?” he asked one of the subordinates next to him. “No, I didn’t. Did he leave


    to look for Miss Presgrave?” “He must’ve gone up to see if Miss Presgrave is safe!”


    However, Ricky found it impossible that Jasper would ascend the mountain unless the pirates had


    escaped and made their way up, but the discovery of thest two corpses near the coast showed that


    they had been shot down in their attempts to flee toward the sea.


    In other words, none of the pirates had gone up the mountain. As his gaze shifted to the barely visible


    pirate ship on the horizon, a bad premonition arose in his heart. He knew this was something that


    Jasper was capable of.


    After Willow hurriedly rushed down from the mountain half an hourter, her gaze skimmed past the


    crowd gathered at the bottom, but all she could see were her bodyguards, and Jasper was nowhere to


    be found.


    “Ricky, where’s Jasper?” She immediately demanded his presence. “Miss Presgrave, we didn’t see him


    anywhere when we came on shore,” Ricky replied, afraid to tell her his assumptions.

    After hearing that, Willow felt as if a knife was digging into her chest, leaving her unable to breathe.


    Where is Jasper? Didn’t he say he’d stay here to protect me? Why did he disappear?


    “Miss Presgrave, don’t worry! Mr. Wyatt will be fine. He’s more capable than all of usbined.” Ricky


    comforted. However, with Jasper nowhere in sight, she was plunged into worry and could barely settle


    her anxious heart. “Search him. I order all of you to locate him now.” Tears gushed out of her eyes, but


    her gaze was surprisingly stern.


    “Miss Presgrave.” Johanna had never seen Willow in this state and was at a loss for what to do. “You


    go with them too, all of you. He’s definitely. hurt; he has to be nearby.”


    “Blood! There’s blood here!” A female team member keenly spotted the blood stains on the ground and


    cried out in horror. At that, Willow immediately picked up a shlight and approached the woman,


    examining the crimson stters on the ground. In an instant, her body began to sway weakly Why is


    there blood here?


    Ricky approached her and exined, “Miss Presgrave, when we stepped foot on the ind, we found


    five corpses belonging to the pirates. These blood stains don’t belong to Jasper; they were left behind


    when we were cleaning up the pirates’ bodies.”


    “Really? Are you sure?” Willow pressed hurriedly.


    “I’m certain.” “But, where is he? Does anyone know where he went?” She looked around frantically,


    praying with all her heart that Jasper would appear by her side.


    However, no matter how long she waited, he was nowhere to be seen. Nearby, Johanna whispered to


    Ricky, “Do you really have no idea where Mr. Wyatt is? Miss Presgrave is nearly losing her mind.”


    His gaze turned toward the ocean. “I suspect he’s already embarked on that pirate ship.”


    Johanna was immediately taken aback. “What?”


    “That’s why I’m keeping this a secret from Miss Presgrave. I’m afraid that her emotions would escte


    even further. Though, I believe Mr. Wyatt won’t take a risk so blindly. Since those pirates have their


    eyes on us, they will continue attacking us and might even call for reinforcements.”


    Ricky’s spections were urate. On the pirate ship, a fierce exchange of gunfire was taking ce.


    Their target was only one man, but he had already caused the death of over a dozen people among the


    crew. Even the captain was now in a panic, desperate to flee. He stood on the deck with his hands


    raised, surrendering to this strange man who had appeared out of thin air.


    The man before him waspletely soaked, but his eyes emanated a terrifying chill as if he were a


    beast that had crawled out of the depths of the underworld. Just ten minutes ago, he suddenly


    appeared on the ship with a bloodthirsty aura before he began to wreakplete havoc.
