Chapter 617 Chapter 616
Keira replied, "He probably can\'t beat me."
But Holly said, "If you were the true senior sister, there would definitely be no problem, but your situation is special..."
Before she could continue, Luke already laughed. "What, getting cold feet? Holly, when your grandfather was the director of the Special Division, he commanded the respect of all of us. Now it\'s come to you, and you can\'t even handle it when I spar with someone else?"
Holly tensed her jaw. "If you want to have a go, I\'ll oblige you, but my friend..."
"You haven\'t practiced martial arts. What use is it for you to spar with me? I\'m only asking your friend."
Luke rolled up his sleeves and looked at Keira, "Shall we? Let\'s have a go in the main hall just ahead."
Keira looked towards the main hall and snickered. "Fine, let\'s go."
The two headed toward the main hall, with Holly hurriedly following Luke. "We agreed it\'s only a friendly contest. You have to be mindful of the force you use!"
Luke laughed. "Well, when sparring, one may unintentionally use too much strength. It can\'t be helped, right? Miss Olsen, as a martial artist, you should understand this principle, right?"
Keira glanced at him. "Shouldn\'t martial artists learn how to control their strength above all else?"
Every martial artist possessed great strength; if they didn\'t know how to control it, what would happen if they accidentally harmed an ordinary person?
Apart from the horse stance, the first lesson her master taught her was how to control her strength.
How could she not be able to hold back?
Luke narrowed his eyes. "But when we start fighting, it\'s easy to get carried away. Martial contests are inherently intense actions. Miss Olsen, if you\'re afraid, then you might as well admit defeat right now."
Keira scoffed and remained silent.
Anxious, Holly quickly said, "Then just admit defeat! Don\'t delay the important matters! Afterward, you can say you didn\'t want to bully anyone..."
Keira didn\'t respond, only wishing to teach Luke a lesson.
Unfortunately, before the two even reached the hall, someone came rushing over and called out to Holly. "Holly, Deputy Director Dawson wants to see you!"
Holly stopped abruptly. "What does he want with me?"
"It\'s about Vera South, the criminal you caught yesterday. He wants to discuss it with you."
Holly frowned and looked at Keira.
Keira said, "Let\'s go have a look."
She followed Holly toward Deputy Director Dawson\'s office, and Luke followed closely. "What are you doing? My father wants to see Holly, not you! Don\'t tell me you\'re looking for an excuse because you\'re scared to fight me?"
Keira paid him no attention.
Teaching him a lesson could be postponed. After all, Luke wasn\'t going anywhere.
Vera\'s matter involved Fox\'s scheme. She had to go see for herself!
Without a word, she and Holly went straight to Brian\'s office door. Holly knocked, bringing Keira inside.
Brian looked at Keira. "Why are you here?"
Before Keira could answer, Holly said, "She\'s an Inner Sect Disciple of the Freeman Sect and a commissioned member of the Special Division. I don\'t know martial arts, so I asked her to accompany me on the job."
Brian seemed about to say something else when Holly asked, "You called for me. Is it about Vera\'s case? What is it?"
Brian glanced at Keira and handed Holly a document. "This is the confession obtained during the interrogation of Vera. Surprisingly, a lot of the content involves international crime."
Holly took the interrogation record and looked at Keira.
Keira looked at it as well.
In it, Vera had exposed her past crime committed in Country M, which was also related to a murder case, and she was even suspected of arms trafficking.
All those charges combined were far more serious than the mistakes she had committed in Crera.
Keira\'s gaze darkened.
Brian said, "Given the gravity of the situation, we have contacted Interpol. They want to extradite the trafficker. The crimes she committed domestically will be processed jointly with those abroad."
At these words, Keira exchanged a glance with Holly.
Just now, Vera said Fox would rescue her from here, and at that time, Keira didn\'t believe her, but now, she suddenly understood.
Vera had taken the initiative to expose her own past crimes, implicating herself in international crime...
Keira could almost imagine that once Vera was taken away, Fox would make contact with the person she knew in the Interpol, who could rescue Vera!
Even if they didn\'t rescue her after Vera was convicted and imprisoned, who would know if the Vera locked up in the international prison was still the real Vera?!
Fox had calculated even this step.
Indeed, she was quite crafty.
Keira fell silent for a moment and then looked at Brian, narrowing her eyes. "Who reported this matter to Interpol?"
Fox had insiders in the Special Division, which meant that the case couldn\'t have escalated this swiftly otherwise. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If the case had been suppressed, Vera wouldn\'t have been taken by the Interpol.
Keira had suspected that Brian and Luke were Fox\'s undercover agents in the Special Division, but after considering it carefully, she felt it was unlikely.
Those two held such high positions within the Special Division that their backgrounds could certainly withstand scrutiny.
For this reason, Keira concealed her identity as the senior sister to deal with Fox\'s future challenges.
Upon hearing her question, Brian scoffed. "How could I possibly know that? Everyone in our department works in an orderly manner. Just because you have a personal grudge against Vera, should the Special Division suppress this case for your sake?"
Keira tensed her jaw.
Holly said, "Deputy Director Dawson, it\'s not appropriate to let Interpol take her away without a thorough investigation. I think we should retain Vera."
Brian scoffed instantly. "Holly, we must follow the rules and regulations in our work. The Special Division isn\'t the private prison of the Sims family. Do I need to remind you of that again?"
Holly was suddenly at a loss for words. "I..."
"All right, your grandfather is under investigation, and now I have to deal with a lot of things in the Special Division. If you have nothing else, you can leave now. Interpol will come to take her tomorrow, so prepare the paperwork for the handover."
After that, he pointed to the door. "Out, both of you!"
After Holly and Keira walked out of Brian\'s office, Holly said angrily, "This is the difference between caring and not caring. To Brian, Vera has no significance, and he would definitely prefer to push the case away... If Grandpa were still here, he would definitely be able to stop those people from Interpol! Keira, what do we do now?!"
Keira, however, lowered her gaze and drew a cold smile. "Let\'s see if they can really take her away!"
