"Will you come with us?" Willow asked him.
"We'll talk after we're off the ship."
All the team members disembarked the ship, followed by Jasper, who held Willow's hand as he led her along with the rest. For the time being, the ship had become the bodyguards' battleground, used to chase away the approaching pirate ship.
At the same time, a meeting was being held on the pirate ship, led by a middle-aged man with a scarred face. He had received intel that an archeology team's vessel had headed their way, and the resources they carried onboard were extremely ample and worth making plunder for.
"We haven't been making any money for a long time. Everyone, get your spirits up. We'll be hitting the jackpot soon!"
"Boss, that ship might even be carrying some artifacts. If we sell any of them, it'll be enough money for us to spend for months."
"We just don't know what kind of men are on the ship and whether they'll make things easy for us."
"We'll start attacking once we get close. We have to take this ship down today. We might even get something out of it."
"It's been a long time since we had any fun. We can thoroughly enjoy ourselves tonight."
The ship's crew consisted of fugitives and criminals from around the world, each harsh and ruthless. Without any means to enter the private ocean, they could only make a living by ransacking passing ships. Hence, their eyes lit up with greed at the prospect of a wealthy vessel.
Now that they discovered the ship was filled with abundant ancient artifacts, it was as if someone had left a pile of irresistible gold coins before them.
Meanwhile, Jasper headed to Winston once they were on the island and instructed, "Take all of the team members and hide in the cave where the ancient tomb is. I'll stay here and protect the island."
"Should I leave some male team members behind to help you?" Winston hurriedly offered, afraid to leave Jasper all by himself.
"No need for that. I can handle this." Jasper refused because he did not need any companions. To him, they would only get in his way.
"In that case, Commissioner Wyatt, take care of yourself. Contact us if you need any help," Winston conceded. He could tell that Jasper was not just any ordinary man.
Next to them, Willow had been eavesdropping on their conversation and immediately approached him once Winston left. "Jasper, you have to come with us."
