"Alright, then. I'll wait for you," replied Willow reluctantly.

"Remember to stay put."

"I got it! I'll listen to you and not cause any trouble," she assured, promising she would not cause any trouble for him. Even Jared is

working from hnow, doing his best to remove obstacles and not add to their stress.

Meanwhile, Jasper expanded the scope of his search. After pulling an all-nighter last night, he continued to work tirelessly, his eyes

bloodshot.

Sirius had awoken from sleep and noticed that he was still in his room searching for the mercenary. He could not help but advise,

"Shouldn't you get ssleep? You can't keep staying up like this."

Jasper closed his eyes. At that very moment, his nerves were stretched taut as a string. If they failed to capture the mercenary, it

would be like planting a bomb next to the Presgraves.

"Here, take one of this and go to sleep." Sirius handed him a sleeping pill. This was their way of forcing themselves to sleep.

Jasper took it and washed it down with water. After that, he lay down on the couch and closed his eyes to sleep.

Just an hour later, he was jolted awake by a nightmare. He had not had nightmares in a long time, but in the dream, he saw Willow

being held hostage by the mysterious mercenary approaching him.

Even in his sleep, the scene was enough to bring him out in a cold sweat.

As he opened his eyes and realized it was not reality, he noticed his forehead was already covered in a cold sweat.

"You had a nightmare?" Sirius asked him. This time, it was his turn to operate the laptop, but the task he had taken on yielded

sresults. "lI checked the illegal fishing boats on the coast and found something at last." He handed the laptop over to Jasper.

Only a blurry figure was captured on-screen, but Jasper's heart clenched at the sight of it. "It's him!"

His reaction startled Sirius. "What's wrong? You've seen him before?"

Jasper explained, "He's a top assassin trained by Moncent. He got fired for making mistakes, but he's in the sleague as us in

terms of fighting skills and other capabilities. He's a highly trained killing machine."

Seeing that even Jasper showed a hint of fear toward that person, Sirius dared not take this lightly anymore. He said with a nod,

"We gotta stay vigilant, then."

Jasper was alarmed, too. If he were protecting anyone else, he might be able to carry out his task with ease. However, since he was

guarding the Presgraves, he had to ensure his task was completed flawlessly.

"Jasper, for now, | need you to closely protect the Presgraves at once. You need to live under the sroof with them," said Sirius

with a serious countenance.

Jasper agreed with this suggestion. This assassin is highly capable and can disable any surveillance cameras, sneaking in anywhere

like a ghost.

"Okay, I'll propose this to the Presgraves," he replied.

At 3.00PM, Willow was waiting for Jasper at home. She thought he was only going back to the area where the bodyguards were

stationed, but it surprised her when he arrived carrying a bag of belongings. Standing in front of her, he announced in a serious

tone, "From now on, | must protect your family closely."

She fluttered her eyes and blurted out surprisingly. "Do you mean close protection?"

At that, Jared instantly covered his mouth and cleared his throat before reminding his sister to act more ladylike. "Willow, don't get

in Mr. Wyatt's way."

The woman also realized she might have been a little too excited and could only reply, "I was just asking!"

Jasper turned to Jared, informing, "Young Master Tillman, what | meant is to share the sbedroom with her and provide her with

close protection 24/7."

Just as disappointment was about to cloud Willow's heart, his words gave her a glimmer of hope. Oh, really?!

Jared was also taken aback for a moment.

"I'd like to have a word with you, Young Master Tillman," said Jasper. He had to let Jared know the seriousness of the situation.

Seeing that the man was about to converse with Jared in her absence, she wondered what the content was, given their

relationship. "lI want to hear it, too," she said immediately.
