Brian paused, intending to speak, when someone suddenly intervened. "Deputy Director Dawson, you can't break the rules!"

The person turned angrily towards Holly. "Both my parents were scientists in the field of physics! When I was a child, they were secretly executed by a spy. I joined the Special Division because of that, determined to protect our country's talent and contribute to its development!

"But I never expected, heh..."

With a bitter smile, the person continued, "Mr. Sims was my Idol and whom I respected most, but he actually aided Barry Brandt—a known traitor! Does he not realize how our nation's technological level has lagged behind, leading to significant losses? Barry Brandt's departure caused immense damage to Crera! And yet, he helped Brandt establish himself overseas... It's so ironic, so profoundly ironic!

"So!" Stepping forward, the person glared at Holly. "As the child of a spy, you must bear the brunt of our anger and discontent! Besides, with Mr. Sims disguising himself so well, who's to say Holly isn't a spy herself?!"

The person decisively concluded, "That's why we can't break the rule! Not only must we follow all procedures, but the Special Division must also expel her permanently!"

Brian fell silent at these words.

Another person said, "When the Special Division was established, we swore that we despise traitors above all! What difference is there between his actions and those of a traitor? Mr. Sims, as the leader of the Special Division, committed such an act that made us lose face internationally! No other special organization's leadership is a spy!"

"Exactly, we can't concede on this matter! Holly must face our denunciation!"

"Not just Holly, but also her grandfather, Hector Sims!"
