Vera closed her eyes.

It was daytime, and both lamps had been extinguished, allowing her bloodshot eyes to get some relief finally.

But the chair she was sitting on had no backrest, making it difficult even to lean back, so despite the pain in her back, she maintained a calm and collected demeanor in front of Keira.

She seemed quite certain that the person coming today would definitely take her away.

She had confidence in Fox's abilities.

Seeing this, Keira lowered her eyes and slowly walked out of the room.

Who exactly was Fox? What forces were behind her? How many people had she managed to place inside the Interpol to make Vera so confident?

As Keira pondered, Lewis came over. "People from Interpol have arrived."

Keira immediately perked up and followed Lewis.

They had just walked over when they heard an argument breaking out.

"Vincent, who do you think you are? You don't hold any position in the Special Division. What right do you have to stop them from taking her away?"

That was Luke's voice.

Holly immediately retorted, "Even though my father isn't part of the Special Division, he's carrying my grandfather's seal! There's a rule in the Special Division that's been there since ancient times: whoever holds the seal can decide everything within the division!"

"That was a regulation from a hundred years ago; it doesn't work now," Luke scoffed. "Are you still living a hundred years back? The Special Division isn't the Sims family's private property!"

Vincent countered, "How does it not work? Forty years ago, my father gave that seal to your grandfather, letting him make decisions within the Special Division... At that time, your grandfather was just a minor employee in the division, and my father, temporarily occupied with other matters, left the division under his control, along with the seal. Everyone in the division obeyed your grandfather because of that seal! That's how he became the deputy director of the Special Division, leading to your father succeeding in the position. Without that seal, could you and your father have reached where you are today?"

Luke sneered. "That's just old news. Uncle Sims, you should stop believing in such feudal superstitions! No one in the Special Division still acknowledges it!"

He looked directly at the surrounding people. "Does anyone here disagree?"

"I don't acknowledge that seal..."

"What's that? I've never even heard of it..."

A few people echoed the sentiment.

The Special Division was now split into two factions, one supporting old Mr. Sims and the other backing Brian and his son.

The ones echoing support now were from those siding with the Dawsons.

Hearing that, Holly became furious. "Luke, don't be so shameless! The Special Division's charter states this clause! To see this seal is to see the director. Everyone must obey the arrangements of the holder of the seal!"

Luke spread his hands. "Well, yeah, I remember that too, but right now, your grandfather has been arrested. Even if he were here, we wouldn't obey him! What if he's a spy?"

He faked an indignant tone. "People from the Interpol are here, yet you're holding on to Vera. Are you trying to sabotage our international relations? If this blows up, how are we supposed to explain it to the Interpol?"

Holly immediately became furious.

Vincent then patted Holly's shoulder and looked at Brian. "Deputy Director Dawson, do you also think that way?"

At these words, everyone's gaze shifted unanimously to Brian.

Brian narrowed his eyes and sighed. "Vincent, it's not that I don't want to listen to you, but with what happened yesterday and your father still not cleared of the charges, I don't know what I should do! What if he really made a mistake? If I withhold the person here, I'll inadvertently become his accomplice. What then?"

Holly shouted angrily, "My grandfather isn't a spy! Don't be ridiculous!"

Brian smiled. "I didn't say he was a spy. I'm just saying things haven't been cleared up yet, so we can't come to a conclusion, right? So, I don't know whether I should listen to that seal!"

Holly wanted to say more, but Vincent ignored Brian and looked around at the Special Division's staff. He raised the seal in his hand. "Those who still abide by the Special Division's charter, stop the people from the Interpol right now. We can't let them take Vera away!"

As soon as these words were said, the people of the Special Division looked at each other, hesitating.

In the end, a small portion of them stood by Vincent's side.

Brian's expression immediately darkened.

There was a rule in the Special Division that internal conflicts were forbidden.

His people couldn't oppose this group that was stopping Interpol's people, and that small portion was enough to keep Interpol at bay.

Indeed, it might prove difficult for Interpol to take Vera away today.

Brian scoffed and remained silent.

Keira stood not far away, observing them closely.

She wanted to find out who Fox's accomplice was within the Special Division, but at that moment, she still couldn't tell.

As she hesitated, someone from Brian's side spoke out from within the crowd. "Deputy Director Dawson, have your say. Mr. Sims is doing whatever he wants in the Special Division. Old Mr. Sims has said he would resign, and you are his successor, but now he's given the seal to Vincent. What does that mean? Are you still planning to let Vincent inherit the position of our director? Just say the word, Deputy Director Dawson, and we'll stop him right away!"

With those words, Brian's supporters immediately became excited. "That's right! Old Mr. Sims had given his word he would leave the position to you, but now he's passed the seal to Vincent. It's a clear slight to you, Deputy Director Dawson!"

"Could old Mr. Sims really not want to give up his power?"

"I don't think so... If he truly didn't want to give up power, he should have arranged for Vincent to join the Special Division long ago. He hasn't made any preparations; that doesn't seem likely..."

Just as this statement had calmed the people on Brian's side, someone from Vincent's side said, "Mr. Sims, please say something. Your father was forced to step down, and the Special Division has always been a Sims family affair. We only recognize the Sims family members. Just give the word, and we'll fight them!"

Those words sparked anger among the people around Vincent.

"Yeah, why should the Special Division be handed over to the Dawson family?"

"The Special Division bears the name Sims! We've watched old Mr. Sims dedicate his life to the Special Division. Is it just going to be handed over like this?"

Seeing this, Keira narrowed her eyes.

She had found the mole!
