Jasper’s actions were rewarded with a lot of gratitude from the woman, but the leader of the boat was furious. From his point of view, Jasper was challenging his authority.
“Do you want to die?”
The leader of the boat furiously drew a gun from his waist, pointed it at Jasper’s head, and tried to pull the trigger with a grim look.
Jasper looked at the leader of the boat indifferently and said, “I advise you to calm down. If you put the gun away now, I’ll pretend that nothing has happened, otherwise, you will die and your whole family will also die miserably. Believe me, I am not trying to intimidate you or bluffing.”
Maybe it was Jasper’s extremely calm response that shocked the leader of the boat, at that moment, he hesitated.
“Boss, forget it.”
At this moment, a subordinate came over and whispered in the ear of the leader of the boat, “Although these people are all pigs, it’ll be troublesome for us if they’re driven to desperation. We can’t keep throwing them overboard. We’re almost there, so just let him off the hook.”
The leader of the boat was given a way out of this situation. He snorted coldly, put away the gun, and said, “I’ll give you another chance, if it happens again, I will definitely kill you with one bullet.”
As Jasper watched the leader of the boat leave, he felt relieved. To be honest, he really did not want to deal with these desperadoes.
The other party was an unreasonable tyrant and his life was always on the line. Meanwhile, Jasper was worth tens of billions and a single strand of his hair was worth more than the other party. In the mind of a businessman like Jasper, fighting with this kind of person was equivalent to the loss of exchanging gold for stones.
“Thank you! Thank you!”
The woman held her child tightly as she thanked Jasper.
“Don’t thank me. Just be quiet. If you annoy him again, we will all be finished,” Jasper said.
The woman nodded tearfully, holding the child tightly and keeping quiet.
Jasper glanced at the frightened child and then realized that the child was actually mixed race.
His mother was from Sunrise Land but the child had blue eyes, which showed that his father was a Westerner.
However, this had nothing to do with Jasper. After a glance, he turned his head and waited silently for the speedboat to reach its destination.
The speedboat sprinted frantically the whole way. The waves were huge and they nearly met calamity a few times during the journey. Two older stowaways fell into the sea because they could not hold on and were swallowed by the ocean in the blink of an eye.
The leader of the boat and even the other people on the speedboat looked indifferent. No one had any plans to go back to save them.
Jasper could only sigh when he saw this. He was not a saint, and he could not even take care of himself in this kind of environment. In the face of the power of nature, he was powerless and he had no way to save the two stowaways who might have already known how they would end up.
After more than two hours, the speedboat finally docked on a sandy beach.
“Get off! Get the hell off!”
Amid the shouts of the leader of the boat, more than twenty people lined up like pigs and were driven off the boat.
Just as Jasper and the others came ashore, several super-powered searchlights suddenly lit up from all directions on the dark shore.
The searchlight dissipated the darkness of the night in an instant, illuminating this beach as bright as day. Everyone looked up in a panic. Their expressions were full of alarm and consternation.
“What’s happening?”
The leader of the boat screamed in horror. His first reaction was to turn around and run. He wanted to get on the boat and escape. Those who were in the smuggling business were always facing risks.
The biggest risk was to be caught by the authorities.
Smuggling was a felony no matter which country you were in, and people who organized the smuggling, once caught, would face twenty years in prison if they were lucky, while the more serious offenders would be imprisoned for life.
Aside from being arrested by the authorities, there was also the human trafficking business. These stowaways would be the perfect candidates for them.
Traffickers would be willing to kill the leader of the boat just to catch these stowaways.
