Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 2064

Willow forced herself to ease up a bit as she smiled at Jasper. “Don’t worry about me. I’m just a bit nervous. I’ll be fine.”

Jasper reached out to tidy her bangs, which had been blown into an utter mess by the sea breeze. “Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone take away what is yours.”

Unfortunately, she was unaware that her nervousness only exacerbated the anxiety dwelling within the man’s heart; he just didn’t show it.

She leaned into his embrace and hugged his sturdy body. “I know. I feel much more at ease with you here.”

Yet, Jasper wanted her to be absolutely worry-free. The little wrinkle between her brows only tugged at his heartstrings.

That night, the bodyguards sent back a message that Jett’s team was preparing to go underwater early the next morning.

The intense emotions overwhelmed Willow, causing her to have trouble sleeping that night. Now that they had found the treasure, she had to watch helplessly as someone else took it away before they could lay their claim on it. It was truly distressing for her.

This was international waters where Jett had the authority to do anything without facing any consequences.

Later, Willow heard some speed boats had set off. So, she dashed to Winston’s office but couldn’t find Jasper anywhere.

“Where is he?”

“Mr. Wyatt just went out to sea. He said he had something to take care of.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“What is he doing out there?”

“I’m afraid I don’t know as he didn’t say why. He always acts so mysteriously, and it’s not like I can ask him just like that,” Winston explained.

Johanna comforted her, “Miss, don’t worry! Mr. Wyatt is probably just doing what needs to be done.”

“I just hope he doesn’t encounter any danger.” Willow’s worries intensified as time passed.

Where had Jasper gone? He had gone to the pirate ship which had become something like a ghost ship. There was an advanced fishing net here, and he used his computer to operate the ship’s fishing equipment.

An hour later, the automatic fishing equipment brought nearly 1000 pounds of fish. He had a rather simple plan for these fish; he wanted to attract the rulers of the sea—sharks.

He had researched the area and found that past researchers had detected the presence of numerous sharks in this area of international waters. Fortunately, the sharks mostly dwelled in the deep sea and rarely approached the coastal waters. However, if there was a significant amount of fish blood in the area, it could attract them to swarm the area.

Sharks were not particularly interested in human blood, but they had a strong attraction to fish blood. As long as there was blood around the area, the sharks would be attracted to swim out of their dwellings. It also definitely helped that they had an extremely sensitive sense of smell when it came to their prey.

That was precisely what Jasper was trying to do—attract the sharks.

He knew that the only way to stop Jett’s actions was to make them fear going underwater and prevent them from diving. All he needed to do was buy a few more days for their own salvage team to arrive.

Nearly a hundred fish were chopped up and thrown into the sea, spreading the smell of blood around the boat. Once Jasper was done, he stood on the deck, observing the surroundings using a telescope.

This task required absolute patience, and it just so happened it was something he excelled at.

Sleep continued to elude Willow as she remained on the boat, unable to contact him. She had no idea what he was planning.

Around 4.00AM, the full moon in the sky glowed brighter. Suddenly, the boat he was on shook slightly when something bumped into it from below.

Jasper instinctively picked up a flare and threw it into the water. Several dorsal fins emerged on the surface of the water, indicating that his ‘summoning’ had succeeded.

The sharks swam around the area without venturing too far as they started competing for the fish floating around.

As dawn approached, his speed boat returned to the coastline. It was loaded with ten packages of minced fish meat.

Then, he used a telescope to watch Jett’s team that was preparing to dive into the sea. Jasper wasted no time in tossing the fish meat into the sea, specifically placing it around the area where the shipwreck was located.

At this moment, Jett’s team was just about to head out to sea. They had already discussed amongst themselves and eventually decided to dive about a kilometer away from their boat.

Just as they were going through the diving plan on their boat, a female team member suddenly pointed at the sea in terror. “What is that? Oh, my goodness! Is that a shark?”
