Chapter 651
Old Mr. Sims furrowed his brows even deeper.
Holly turned to Keira with concern. "Keira, don\'t get involved. This isn\'t your fight..."
Keira met their gazes firmly. "How can it not concern me? I\'m the senior sister of the Freeman Sect. What happens in the Special Division affects me! I have a right to speak up."
She addressed the crowd, "I don\'t care what Mr. Sims has done. Holly is my friend, and as long as I\'m here, I won\'t let you mistreat her or Mr. Sims!"
Her stance angered those present. Although Keira had recently helped the Special Division, and they felt grateful toward her, her actions now made many question her loyalty.
Brian frowned. "Senior Sister, we respect you, but how can you defend a spy?"
"Exactly, are you his accomplice? Did he bribe you?"
"These are the Special Division\'s rules; you can\'t just ignore them!"
"We don\'t care. He broke the rules and must face the consequences. If we let him off, what\'s to stop others from using past merits to escape punishment?"
"…" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
One by one, people criticized her.
Keira remained calm and turned to Brian. "I saved Luke yesterday, didn\'t I? I\'m the one who defeated King!"
Brian was taken aback. "That\'s true, but..."
"Then I\'m using that merit to ensure these two aren\'t humiliated!" Keira declared.
Brian\'s face darkened. "Senior Sister, there\'s no rule in the Special Division that lets merit override fault. We can\'t set a dangerous precedent!"
Keira scoffed. "Does the Special Division no longer value its relationship with the Freeman Sect?"
Brian hesitated.
Keira\'s gaze was intense. "I\'m the senior sister of the Freeman Sect, and I understand our relationship with your division. We\'ve never been in a superior-subordinate dynamic. If you want our continued support, you\'d better respect my request!"
Brian found her position unreasonable. "I thought you were magnanimous and held no grudges after saving my son. I believed you had the nation\'s best interests at heart. I didn\'t expect you to be so reckless!"
Brian found her position unreasonable. "I thought you were magnanimous and held no grudges after saving my son. I believed you had the nation\'s best interests at heart. I didn\'t expect you to be so reckless!"
Keira replied, "The choice is yours. Decide how you want to handle this!"
She stepped up to old Mr. Sims. "If anyone dares to disrespect Mr. Sims, they\'ll have to deal with me!"
She threw a punch into the air.
The Special Division members recoiled, remembering how she had defeated King the day before with a single strike. No one dared challenge her.
Seeing this, old Mr. Sims spoke up. "Young lady, you don\'t need to go this far. The Special Division\'s affairs don\'t concern you!"
Keira looked at him determinedly. "Mr. Sims, I have to step in! I want to see if my position as the Freeman Sect\'s senior sister holds any weight here!"
She turned back to Brian. "And I also want to see if the Freeman Sect will continue its partnership with the Special Division in the future."
The weight of her words was palpable, causing Brian to clench his jaw.
Old Mr. Sims was taken aback, realizing she was framing this as a power play between the Freeman Sect and the Special Division.
The downside was that Keira was now at the center of the storm.
He looked at her, clearly shocked, but seeing her resolute expression, he chose not to argue.
He knew that once Keira had made up her mind, no one could change it.
Old Mr. Sims sighed and fell silent.
Brian glared at Keira, and the rest of the Special Division looked at her with anger.
The Keira, who had once won their admiration, now appeared to them as a headstrong young woman using her position to push them around.
Their eyes were filled with fury.
After a tense silence, someone finally spoke up. "Senior Sister, don\'t get too full of yourself. Does your master know you\'re acting like this?"
"Yeah, does the Sect Leader know about your behavior?"
"The Sect Leader of the Freeman Sect is polite when he meets Brian. Senior Sister, don\'t push your luck!"
A chorus of voices questioned her, but Keira simply lowered her gaze and said softly, "I have the authority to make decisions for the Freeman Sect."
The Special Division fell silent.
Brian glared at her for a moment before sneering. "Well, this is quite a show! Mr. Sims, you\'ve really raised a fine granddaughter! No wonder you moved her to the Special Division. It was to have her back you up! I\'ll be sure to report this. Senior Sister, enjoy your victory while you can!"
With that, Brian stormed off in anger.
Keira let out a sigh of relief. Just then, her phone buzzed with a message from Fox. "You lost."
