Therefore, Willow could not let him steal the achievement this time. She had to retrieve the donated artifacts for her country.
Jasper’s gaze was glued on her, and he witnessed her flushed face and heaving chest. He felt sorry for her, so he walked over and gently patted her. “I won’t let them take away what’s yours.”
She sighed when she saw him and announced to Winston and all the team members, “From now on, we must be on high alert and find the artifacts before these people do. We need to act fast.”
“Yes, Miss Presgrave.” Everyone was tense and dared not relax because their competitors were right before them.
Meanwhile, Morgan hid among the crowd, his eyes flickering with panic and guilt. He knew he could not expose himself; otherwise, he would end up in jail. At the same time, he believed since Jett had already arrived, he would not use him anymore since they already possessed all the information they needed.
However, his phone vibrated in his clothes, and he could not help but feel nervous. The only person who would contact him here was Jett. After the dispersal, Morgan immediately returned to his tent to check the message on his phone. As expected, it was from him.
‘Morgan, let’s cooperate well from now on. I hope to find the artifacts soon. I promise you will be rewarded handsomely for your efforts.’
Morgan quickly replied, ‘I’ve already found what you asked. Please don’t contact me again. I don’t want to get into trouble.’
“You’re already in one. If you don’t cooperate with my next move, you’ll be in greater trouble.”
At that moment, Jasper took out his phone, looked at the message on it, and with a surge of anger in his eyes, he strode toward Morgan’s tent and shouted, “Come out, Morgan.”
He was so frightened that he quickly hid his phone and pretended to be surprised. Then, he stuck his head out and inquired, “Commissioner Wyatt, do you need anything?”
Jasper reached out and pulled him out from inside before kicking him to the ground. The poor dude almost spat out blood as he cried in fear, “Commissioner Wyatt, what are you doing?”
