Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 2062

Willow tightly held his wrist as she added, “Be careful. As important as the ancient artifacts are, your life is more important.”

At that, Jasper reassured her. “I’ll be careful. I promise.”

At this moment, in a camp more than a mile away, Jett sat beside his technical staff and urged, “Hurry up. We must obtain information from the other side. I need to know their next move.”

“Boss, they have a skilled computer expert who set up a network firewall that we can’t breach.” The person operating the computer was sweating profusely.

“Aren’t you a top-notch hacker? Yet you can’t even break into their network?” Jett was angry.

“Their skills are obviously better than mine. I did my best, and I feel they are using an independent satellite network, making it impossible to hack into.”

“You’re useless!” Jett growled and he went to his office. He had assembled a team of professional archaeologists, and they were all analyzing the data they had.

“What’s the result? Have you found out where those treasures are hidden?” he asked impatiently.

“We haven’t found anything yet.”

He picked up his phone and called his team’s surveillance personnel who were monitoring Willow’s group. “What’s going on? Are they making any moves?”

“We haven’t seen any action yet. Their people are all in the activity area and haven’t left.”

After Jett hung up the phone, his eyes flickered with strong ambition. He must obtain these treasures. He had invested so much this time and he couldn’t afford to lose.

Moreover, he had promised the country that they could buy back the treasures at a high price, which would make him extremely wealthy.

He was determined to obtain this batch of treasures at all costs.

In his eyes, Willow was just a little girl. How could she compete with him?

Other than her family background, he didn’t care about her at all.

In the ship’s room, Willow slept restlessly. When she woke up, she saw that the bed next to her was empty.

“Jasper?” She hurriedly sat up, pushed the door, and ran out to the corridor. Johanna hurriedly came over. “Miss Presgrave, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

“Where is he?” Willow’s eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.

“Mr. Wyatt has already gone underwater. Ricky and two colleagues are with him. Don’t worry!”

Willow’s heart was still tense when she heard this. Now, she worried about Jasper whenever he went on a mission.

“I’ll make breakfast for you. You can go back to your room and rest!” Johanna suggested.

Willow nodded and returned to her room. She went out to the balcony and looked at the vast sea, her heart heavy with worry.

The whole morning, Willow couldn’t eat or drink. She just stared at the sea. As they were not expecting to go diving, they didn’t have enough equipment and communication devices.

Willow had contacted her family last night to send the equipment over, but it would take about a week to arrive. Jasper was worried that Jett might also discover this information, so he took the risk and went diving. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Finally, at around 12.00PM, four people came swimming back to the surface. Willow heard the news and rushed over to see the four of them safe and sound, and she finally let go of the anxiety in her heart.

At the same time, she felt embarrassed and avoided looking at the man taking off his diving suit and showing his upper body.

“You guys better go take a shower!” Willow said as her gaze lingered on Jasper’s face.

Meanwhile, Jasper couldn’t care about showering and said, “Come with me to see Winston. We made a discovery down there.”

In Winston’s office were photos they took in the afternoon, showing several ghost ships.

“Those fleets sank into the sea, and they only had time to evacuate the crew. All the artifacts remained in the sunken ship’s cargo hold. Now, the wooden planks have disappeared, and all the artifacts are at the bottom of the sea.”
