Chapter 2344 Jasper’s Disappearance
"No, I have to head down now." Willow could not wait for another second, leaving Johanna with no choice but to trail
after her. "Miss Presgrave, I'll escort you."
On the island, the bodyguards were just as dumbfounded. At the sight of five new corpses that belonged to the
pirates, Ricky immediately ordered his men to take the bodies away and clean the surroundings before Willow
caught sight of such a blood-curdling scene.
"Wait, did you see Mr. Wyatt?" he asked one of the subordinates next to him.
"No, I didn't. Did he leave to look for Miss Presgrave?"
"He must've gone up to see if Miss Presgrave is safe!"
However, Ricky found it impossible that Jasper would ascend the mountain unless the pirates had escaped and
made their way up, but the discovery of the last two corpses near the coast showed that they had been shot down
in their attempts to flee toward the sea.

the horizon, a bad premonition arose in his heart. He knew this was something that Jasper was capable of.
After Willow hurriedly rushed down from the mountain half an hour later, her gaze skimmed past the crowd
gathered at the bottom, but all she could see were her bodyguards, and Jasper was nowhere to be found.
"Ricky, where's Jasper?" She immediately demanded his presence.
"Miss Presgrave, we didn't see him anywhere when we came on shore," Ricky replied, afraid to tell her his
assumptions.
After hearing that, Willow felt as if a knife was digging into her chest, leaving her unable to breathe. Where is
Jasper? Didn't he say he'd stay here to protect me? Why did he disappear?
"Miss Presgrave, don't worry! Mr. Wyatt will be fine. He's more capable than all of us combined." Ricky comforted.
However, with Jasper nowhere in sight, she was plunged into worry and could barely settle her anxious heart.
"Search him. I order all of you to locate him now." Tears gushed out of her eyes, but her gaze was surprisingly
stern.
"Miss Presgrave." Johanna had never seen Willow in this state and was at a loss for what to do.
"You go with them too, all of you. He's definitely hurt; he has to be nearby."
"Blood! There's blood here!" A female team member keenly spotted the blood stains on the ground and cried out in
horror.
At that, Willow immediately picked up a flashlight and approached the woman, examining the crimson splatters on
the ground. In an instant, her body began to sway weakly. Why is there blood here?
Ricky approached her and explained, "Miss Presgrave, when we stepped foot on the island, we found five corpses
belonging to the pirates. These blood stains don't belong to Jasper; they were left behind when we were cleaning up
the pirates' bodies."
"Really? Are you sure?" Willow pressed hurriedly.
"I'm certain."
"But, where is he? Does anyone know where he went?" She looked around frantically, praying with all her heart that
Jasper would appear by her side.

Nearby, Johanna whispered to Ricky, "Do you really have no idea where Mr. Wyatt is? Miss Presgrave is nearly losing
her mind."
His gaze turned toward the ocean. "I suspect he's already embarked on that pirate ship."
Johanna was immediately taken aback. "What?"
"That's why I'm keeping this a secret from Miss Presgrave. I'm afraid that her emotions would escalate even
further. Though, I believe Mr. Wyatt won't take a risk so blindly. Since those pirates have their eyes on us, they will
continue attacking us and might even call for reinforcements."
Ricky's speculations were accurate. On the pirate ship, a fierce exchange of gunfire was taking place. Their target
was only one man, but he had already caused the death of over a dozen people among the crew. Even the captain
was now in a panic, desperate to flee. He stood on the deck with his hands raised, surrendering to this strange man
who had appeared out of thin air.
The man before him was completely soaked, but his eyes emanated a terrifying chill as if he were a beast that had
crawled out of the depths of the underworld. Just ten minutes ago, he suddenly appeared on the ship with a
bloodthirsty aura before he began to wreak complete havoc.
