“Alright, then. I’ll wait for you,” replied Willow reluctantly. “Remember to stay put.”


    “I got it! I’ll listen to you and not cause any trouble,” she assured, promising she would not cause any


    trouble for him. Even Jared is working from home now, doing his best to remove obstacles and not add


    to their stress.


    Meanwhile, Jasper expanded the scope of his search. After pulling an all-nighterst night, he


    continued to work tirelessly, his eyes bloodshot.


    Sirius had awoken from sleep and noticed that he was still in his room searching for the mercenary. He


    could not help but advise, “Shouldn’t you get some sleep? You can’t keep staying up like this.”


    Jasper closed his eyes. At that very moment, his nerves were stretched taut as a string. If they failed to


    capture the mercenary, it would be like nting a bomb next to the Presgraves.


    ‘Here, take one of this and go to sleep.” Sirius handed him a sleeping pill. This was their way of forcing


    themselves to sleep. Jasper took it and washed it down with water. After that, hey down on the couch


    and closed his eyes to sleep.


    Just an hourter, he was jolted awake by a nightmare. He had not had nightmares in a long time, but


    in the dream, he saw Willow being held hostage by the mysterious mercenary approaching him.

    Even in his sleep, the scene was enough to bring him out in a cold sweat. As he opened his eyes and


    realized it was not reality, he noticed his forehead was already covered in a cold sweat.


    “You had a nightmare?” Sirius asked him. This time, it was his turn to operate theptop, but the task


    he had taken on yielded some results. “I checked the illegal fishing boats on the coast and found


    something atst.” He handed theptop over to Jasper.


    Only a blurry figure was captured on-screen, but Jasper’s heart clenched at the sight of it. “It’s him!” His


    reaction startled Sirius. “What’s wrong? You’ve seen him before?”


    Jasper exined, “He’s a top assassin trained by Moncent. He got fired for making mistakes, but he’s


    in the same league as us in terms of fighting skills and other capabilities. He’s al highly trained killing


    machine.”


    Seeing that even Jasper showed a hint of fear toward that person, Sirius dared not take this lightly


    anymore. He said with a nod, “We gotta stay vignt, then.”


    Jasper was rmed, too. If he were protecting anyone else, he might be able to carry out his task with


    ease. However, since he was guarding the Presgraves, he had to ensure his task waspleted


    wlessly.


    “Jasper, for now, I need you to closely protect the Presgraves at once. You need to live under the same


    roof with them,” said Sirius with a serious countenance. Jasper agreed with this suggestion. This


    assassin is highly capable and can disable any surveince cameras, sneaking in anywhere like a


    ghost.


    “Okay, I’ll propose this to the Presgraves,” he replied. At 3.00PM, Willow was waiting for Jasper at


    home. She thought he was only going back to the area where the bodyguards were stationed, but it


    surprised her when he arrived carrying a bag of belongings. Standing in front of her, hel announced in a


    serious tone, “From now on, I must protect your family closely.”


    She fluttered her eyes and blurted out surprisingly. “Do you mean close protection?” At that, Jared


    instantly covered his mouth and cleared his throat before reminding his sister to act moredylike.


    “Willow, don’t get in Mr. Wyatt’s way.”


    The woman also realized she might have been a little too excited and could only reply, “I was just


    asking!”


    Jasper turned to Jared, informing. “Young Master Tillman, what I meant is to share the same bedroom


    with her and provide her with close protection 24/7”


    Just as disappointment was about to cloud Willow’s heart, his words gave her a glimmer of hope. Oh,


    really?!


    Jared was also taken aback for a moment. “I’d like to have a word with you, Young Master Tillman, said


    Jasper. He had to let Jared know the seriousness of the situation.


    Seeing that the man was about to converse with Jared in her absence, she wondered what the content


    was, given their rtionship. “I want to hear it, too,” she said immediately.
