For Willow, it wasn’t just a job, but her way of contributing to the country’s cultural heritage. How could she be
absent? “Alright. I'm leaving right away,” she answered.
“We'll be waiting. Tis of the essence. We received confidential information that the artifact smugglers have
already sent out their people.”
“Understood. See you then,” Willow replied. After hanging up the phone, Willow went to talk to her parents about
this. She had brought this up with them before, so Elliot and Anastasia didn’t stop her from doing what she
wanted to do.
“However, there's one rule you must abide by. You must let the bodyguards stay by your side at all times to
protect you.” “Got it, Dad! I'll be sure to keep myself safe.” Willow nodded earnestly.
Elliot assigned two female bodyguards to stay. with Willow at all times and arranged for six additional male
bodyguards who would hang around in the vicinity to protect her. He was going to keep an eye on his daughter's
every move too and was ready to rush over immediately if there was any danger.

Willow was worried that the smugglers would succeed in finding and looting the cultural relics. before they got
there, so she couldn't afford to waste any more time. Although she also wanted to spend more twith her
parents and couldn’t bear to part with Jasper while he was still in the country, she had to set those feelings aside
for work.
Before leaving, Willow sent a text to Jasper. ‘I'm leaving for work. Let's meet up when | cback.” At this
moment, Jasper was resting in a safe house. Due to his mission, he hadn't had any proper sleep in almost three
days..
However, when he heard his phone beeping, he immediately opened his eyes, picked up his phone, and sat up.
He saw the text from Willow. ‘Where are you going?’ Jasper texted back.
I'm heading to the coastal area along the border between Yelina and Koska. My team and | are heading out on a
mission to protect cultural artifacts. I'm on my way to the airport now. See you!”
‘See you.” After sending the text, he swiftly got up and started working on his laptop, but he wasn’t doing official
work for the organization. It was a private matter.
Soon, he had hacked into the database of the Bureau of International Cultural Heritage where Willow worked,
and retrieved information. regarding Willow's assignment. There was a parchment scroll which was the
agreement regarding the ownership of the cultural artifacts’ protection rights, and Willow's signature was on it.
So... it was Willow who initiated the cultural artifacts protection operation. | underestimated the nature of her
work. Despite being a young woman, she actually wields a lot of power at work. Her work is very meaningful too.
Jasper dialed his uncle's private number.
“Hello?”
“Uncle, | need you to doa favor.” “You're actually askingfor a favor? Go ahead and tellwhat you
need!” This was a first for Antoine Wyatt.
“I want to join the Bureau of International Cultural Heritage and complete a private mission. Arrange an identity
for me-one with authority.”
“What? Have you started taking on private jobs now? Did you run out of money? Have you used up the billions
your parents left you?” Antoine asked incredulously. “No! I'm just protecting someone.” “Who? Is it a man or a
woman?”

“Just sendthe details before 3.00PM. I'm hanging up now, Uncle.” “You brat. Is this the attitude you take
when you're asking someone else for help?”
Jasper ended the call before Antoine could carry on complaining. Alas, Antoine's words had stirred up the secret
that Jasper buried deep within him.
Twenty years ago, a tragedy occurred in this very city. Carl Wyatt, the founder of a company worth billions, and
his wife were both murdered by their enemies. Their only son miraculously survived, but he disappeared and so
did the billions the family left behind.

party on a yacht. The police released the photos which showed that the three had died horrific deaths. It looked
