StarNovel“No, | 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 island, 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, | 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 the last 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton 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 hour later, 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 con 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 us combined.” Ricky
comforted. However, with Jasper nowhere in sight, she was plunged into worry and could barely settle her
anxious heart. “Search him. | 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 flashlight and approached the woman, examining the crimson
splatters on the ground. In an instant, her body began to sway weakly Why is there blood here?
Ricky approached her and explained, “Miss Presgrave, when we stepped foot on the island, 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou 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 escalate even
further. Though, | 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 speculations were accurate. On the pirate ship, a fierce exchange of gunfire was taking place. 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 was completely 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 wreak complete havoc.
