Chapter 2306
Night of Destiny
For Willow, it wasnât just a job, but her way of contributing to the countryâs cultural heritage. How could
she be absent? âAlright. Iâm leaving right away,â she answered.
âWeâll be waiting. Time is of the essence. We received confidential information that the artifact
smugglers have already sent out their people.â
âUnderstood. See you then,â 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 didnât stop her
from doing what she wanted to do.
âHowever, thereâs one rule you must abide by. You must let the bodyguards stay by your side at all
times to protect you.â âGot it, Dad! Iâll be sure to keep myself safe.â 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 daughterâs 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 couldnât afford to waste any more time. Although she also wanted to spend more
time with her parents and couldnât 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. âIâm leaving for work. Letâs meet up when I come back.â At
this moment, Jasper was resting in a safe house. Due to his mission, he hadnât 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. âWhere are you going?â Jasper texted back.
Iâm 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. Iâm on my way to the airport now. See you!â
âSee you.â After sending the text, he swiftly got up and started working on his laptop, but he wasnât
doing official work for the organization. It was a private matter.
Soon, he had hacked into the database of the Bureau of International Cultural Heritage where Willow
worked, and retrieved information. regarding Willowâs assignment. There was a parchment scroll which
was the agreement regarding the ownership of the cultural artifactsâ protection rights, and Willowâs
signature was on it.
So⦠it was Willow who initiated the cultural artifacts protection operation. I underestimated the nature
of her work. Despite being a young woman, she actually wields a lot of power at work. Her work is very
meaningful too. Jasper dialed his uncleâs private number.
âHello?â
âUncle, I need you to do me a favor.â âYouâre actually asking me for a favor? Go ahead and tell me what
you need!â This was a first for Antoine Wyatt.
âI want to join the Bureau of International Cultural Heritage and complete a private mission. Arrange an
identity for me-one with authority.â
âWhat? Have you started taking on private jobs now? Did you run out of money? Have you used up the
billions your parents left you?â Antoine asked incredulously. âNo! Iâm just protecting someone.â âWho?
Is it a man or a woman?â
âJust send me the details before 3.00PM. Iâm hanging up now, Uncle.â âYou brat. Is this the attitude you
take when youâre asking someone else for help?â
Jasper ended the call before Antoine could carry on complaining. Alas, Antoineâs words had stirred up
the secret that Jasper buried deep within him.
Twenty years ago, a tragedy occurred in this very city. Carl Wyatt, the founder of a company worth
billions, and his wife were both murdered by their enemies. Their only son miraculously survived, but
he disappeared and so did the billions the family left behind.Books
Twenty years later, a similar tragedy was reported in a foreign newspaper. Three wealthy men had died
at a party on a yacht. The police released the photos which showed that the three had died horrific
deaths. It looked as if they had been brutally interrogated before being executed.
That had been Jasperâs first mission after leaving the special forces. He personally avenged his
parentsâ death. He had only been 21 years old at the time and the organization. detained him for two
years because of his actions. In the end, his uncle rescued him, and after an intensive selection
process, he was selected to join the special operations unit. For five years, he excelled at his job and
none of his missions ended in failure, and his stellar record led to him becoming a team leader.
