Chapter 997

The next day, Jasper and Landon went secretly to Shelland Island, armed with weapons.

It wasn't the smoothest trip. The day started out sunny and calm, but a thunderstorm struck after

two hours on the boat.

The two had opted for a yacht instead of a larger vessel in order to keep a low profile. Not only

would they be a smaller and speedier target, but they could also swiftly retreat the scene if needed.

But the downside to this kind of ship was how vulnerable it left them to the extreme weather!

“Mr. Jasper, Mr. Harper, what do we do? Is the boat going to capsize? Landon’s men were doing

their best to keep the yacht afloat. But it was tough to do so when the vessel wouldn't stop being

tossed and turned by the harsh waves, not to mention sail onward in a straight line!

All of a sudden, a large wave crashed toward the ship, aiming right for Landon.

Landon stood there shocked, unable to move. All of a sudden, someone went up to shield him.

Jasper used his body to protect Landon from the wave before it

crashed!

Jasper didn't so much as stumble as the wave hit him, unlike most others. He merely swayed slightly

under the force.

Jasper was so powerful that he could even make a man fawn over him.

“Are you alright, Jasper?” Landon asked, quickly holding onto Jasper.

“Yes, I'm fine,” Jasper said with a smile.

As their eyes met, Landon found himself blushing. “Dammit. Can you not look at me like that? I feel

like 1 might actually fall in love with you

at this rate!”

“Thank goodness Lauren's the one you fell in love with, or else you might actually feel that way for

me one day," Jasper said. sarcastically. He then hurried over to the helm of the ship to steer it.

“Fuck me. You didn't have to play along that hard!” Landon scowled. He wiped away the seawater

on his face and watched Jasper steer the ship.

After some time, Landon sighed to himself, feeling respect and

admiration toward his friend.

Landon had foolishly taken more than he could chew when he tried pursuing Alyssa. He'd even

moped around after being rejected by her.

Now, it seemed like Alyssa had made the right decision.

After all, how could someone who had gotten used to the love of a

fierce warrior ever turn to another?

Landon wasn't disappointed, nor did he feel regret. In contrast, he had to thank this one-sided love

for introducing him to Lauren, the love of

his life.

The ocean tossed the yacht around angrily, but it seemed invigorated once Jasper began to steer. It

soon continued sailing on to Shelland

Island.

Two hours later, the thunderstorm finally stopped. The night sky peered out from behind the

clouds.

“The darkness will help us. Come on, Jasper!” Landon exclaimed excitedly, strapping two guns on his

back.

Landon used to be renowned as a Grim Reaper, given his love for the dangerous things in life. It

looked like that nickname wasn't given without good reason. Landon seemed to have forgotten

about the danger they were in earlier before arriving there.

“Do you think this is a paintball game? You only have one life. If your lose it, there's no restarting,”

Jasper said.

Jasper was dressed in a black shirt, cargo pants, and boots as he held onto a firearm. One could

sense how powerful he was based on

his outfit alone. There was even a hint of wildness.

"You're not as unattached as you used to be. You have my sister to consider now,” Jasper reminded

him.

Landon’s heart clenched upon recalling his lovely wife.

He was right. He had a family now. His once-tough demeanor had softened up ever since he fell in

love.

Lauren had nearly had a breakdown after hearing about Nina's death. Landon couldn't imagine how

Lauren would react if something. happened to him.

“Mr. Jasper, Mr. Harper, there's a chopper flying toward us!”
