Jasper’s phone rang while driving, and he glanced at it before answering. “Hello?” “How dare you fly solo again, you punk! How

many times have | told you?” Antoine scolded from the other end. “The mission is complete.”

“That still isn't an excuse for you to leave your teammates behind. You should know that they are an extra layer of security for you.

They can provide support if something happens to you.” Antoine was genuinely concerned about his safety. “I've accumulated

sleave days, haven't |, Uncle?”

“Why? Do you want to take a break?” “Can you sum up the days I've collected over the last five years? | want to use it all up at

once.”

“What?! Over the last five years?” “Yes, over the last five years.” “That means you'll be away for three months!” “That's it? Give

time.” With that, he ended the call, leaving Antoine frothing at the mouth.

By the tJasper returned to the safe house, Aimee had already been notified to report back. Of course, she had also received

arrangements from the organization as well. As Jasper’s leave had beceffective immediately, he didn’t need to return with her.

Her heart felt torn, aching, unwilling, and helpless, for everything but the heart could be controlled in this world. Falling in love with

someone was like being intoxicated. If the love was reciprocated, there would be a cure. Contrariwise, the poison would be lethal.

“Have you decided to stay by her side, Jasper? Aimee asked calmly, suppressing her heartache.

“Thank you for your hard work, Aimee. | have spersonal things to take care of next,” answered Jasper. To him, the young

woman was both his subordinate and his comrade. However, there was no romantic love.

Aimee suddenly closed her eyes, and tears: streamed down her face uncontrollably. “Aimee, | appreciate your support in my work.

You're a good comrade and subordinate,’ said Jasper as he handed her a piece of tissue. “I don’t want to be just your comrade or

subordinate. | want...” Aimee reached out, trying to embrace him.

Jasper immediately stepped back, leaving Aimee’s hand hanging in the air. She bit her lip and withdrew her hand. Then, she turned

around, grabbed her bag, and quickly left the safe house. At that moment, she realized there could never be a relationship

between her and Jasper that even allowed for a hug.

Jasper sighed under his breath. He was. absolutely terrible at dealing with emotions. While eating breakfast, Willow checked her

emails only to choke when she read a certain email. “Wait, has it started already?! How c| wasn’t notified?!”

Just then, her phone rang, and she answered it. “Hello?” International Cultural Heritage. “Willow, what have you been busy with

lately? Why haven't you responded?’ It was someone from the Bureau of International Cultural Heritage.

“I'm on break and didn’t see the email. Have you guys already departed?” “Yeah, we're gathering right now. You should hurry up

and join us. You can’t be absent from this expedition to Elysian Island.”

Of course, Willow couldn't afford to be absent. This was originally a cultural heritage protection battle she had initiated within the

organization. It was her mission, and it all began a year ago when she found a piece of parchment inside a domestic cultural relic.

After cleaning and processing it, she discovered that it contained a documented. segment of true history. Due to this historical

account being overlooked in historical records, someone had documented it in the parchment scroll. After researching it, it was

indeed a well-preserved parchment that had survived for a thousand years.

The record clearly stated that a high-ranking official set sail with eighteen large ships a thousand years ago to visit another

country. His ships were laden with treasures and crew members, but they disappeared at a place called Elysian Island. Since then,

they have used various modern technologies to trace the island’s whereabouts. Eventually, they pinpointed the location where the

official vanished on a map.

Not only that, they also received information that artifact smugglers had set their sights on this island. As cultural heritage

workers, they would be competing with multiple groups of international artifact smugglers to be the first to find the island and

protect the artifacts on it. Furthermore, at Willow's urging, they would return all the millennia-old cultural relics belonging to the

country.
