Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 2123

“Very well. We'll be counting on you, then. That's our only way out.” Willow gave Jasper a worried look. She knew

he was a capable man, but she couldn't just calm down while he was going to take a risk. “Be careful. Don’t push

yourself, alright?” she said.

“Trust me,” answered Jasper. He would never make empty promises. Anything he said he could do, he would do

it. Jasper took off his coat, revealing a tight shirt. Everyone was surprised when they saw his muscles. They

didn’t take Jasper as a muscular man.

Then, he started climbing the walls bare- handed. Even the places everyone thought couldn't be scaled, he

scaled them. “What was his job before he becan archeologist? That's unbelievable.”

The walls were about twenty feet tall, and Jasper had scaled half of it, but the closer he got to the exit, the

harder it was to climb. Willow's heart was beating fast, and her neck was getting sore, but she kept her eyes

firmly on Jasper, her heart racing. “You can do it, Jasper,” Willow encouraged.

Jasper finally reached the opening, but then someone out there slammed a boulder down on his hand. Most

people would reflexively pull their hand back when they were assaulted out of the blue, which would cause them

to fall to their deaths.

Jasper didn’t. He knew he would be attacked, so he endured the pain and slithered out of the opening. As

expected, he saw a panicked man outside, the very sman who tried to sneak into Willow's room. Jasper’s

face fell, and murder filled his eyes.

Realizing the incoming danger, the man took two steps back, but Jasper slammed his foot into the man’s belly

and grabbed him by the collar, then he smashed his fist against the man’s face. Quickly, the lad slid down a slide

and disappeared into the woods. He was a local, so he knew this place very well. Jasper gave up going after him

and shouted, “I'm out.”

The team members applauded him, and someone said, “Miss Presgrave, you have a great boyfriend.” Willow

smiled. She wanted to say they weren't al couple, but there was no need for that, so she would just let them

think that they were indeed a couple. “Yeah, he is.” There was a hint of worship in her voice.

The boulder at the entrance was cleared out soon enough, courtesy of Jasper. Everyone was delighted to see the

light outside and their despair melted away.

They got into their cars and left in a hurry. At the stime, they made up their minds to leave this island.

Jasper’s hand was bruised from the boulder slam, but he hid it so Willow wouldn't notice.

Once they arrived at the pier, Winston led everyone onto the ship. Everyone engaged in at small discussion and

decided to say goodbye to the clan leader and leave. Then, they would decide on their next course of action

once they were safely out at sea.

Just then, a female team member said in a panic, “I left my laptop at my abode back on the island. All my

important files are in there.” Willow quickly assured, “It's all right. We can go back for it.”

“I'll go back for it,” Jasper said. “It's not safe on the island. The guide just said one of our team members beat up

the clan leader's son and they are demanding an explanation.”

“When did that happen?” Willow asked.

“The guide's not sure.” Jasper stepped up. “I did it. He ambushedback at the roof’s exit. | beat him up, but

he ran away.”

Willow quickly held his hand. “Are you alright?” she asked, concerned. Jasper hid his hand behind him, but that

only made Willow more concerned. She grabbed his hand to look at it, and sure enough, there was a bruise.
