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. Time is 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 time with 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 I come back.” 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 I 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.
