My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

627  Chapter 626

Brian took a smiling step forward.

The older generation knew that saving face meant little compared to practical benefits.

Luke immediately spoke out, "Dad, you can't! Your injury..."

"I'm fine." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Brian cut him off. "Besides, as an elder, it's my job to set an example. Only then will everyone be willing to give their all!"

He turned to King and said, "Let's begin."

The crowd quickly stepped back, clearing the field.

Keira watched the scene.

If James and Luke could win this match, she wanted to conserve her strength, especially since they were still battling Fox.

Revealing too much too soon could lead to faster losses. Her identity as the senior sister of the Freeman Sect needed to stay concealed unless absolutely necessary.

She looked at Brian.

At that moment, a hint of admiration arose in her eyes.

Despite her initial misgivings about him, she began to understand why old Mr. Sims had entrusted the Special Division to him. Brian's boldness and willingness to face embarrassment were clear.

One had to be such a person to lead an organization like the Special Division.

The job required someone who could navigate both light and dark matters without being overly rigid. Sometimes, achieving goals demanded unconventional methods.

Keira felt as if she had learned something from Brian...

As Keira thought this, Brian had already rushed toward King, who threw a punch directly at him. Brian bent down, but due to his protruding belly and lumbar strain, his movement was slightly slowed, and King landed a hit on his left arm.

Brian stepped back a couple of paces, steadying himself.

Luke exclaimed, "Dad!"

Brian waved his hand with a smile, "I'm fine."

He rotated his shoulder, still appearing relaxed, but Keira noticed cold sweat forming on his forehead. She couldn't help but walk over to Luke and ask softly, "Does your father have old injuries?"

Luke glanced at her, still irritated by her earlier comments about Holly, and chose to ignore her. Instead, Holly said, "Yes, Deputy Director Dawson has carried out many secret missions for the Special Division over the years. He has hundreds of scars and seventy-eight serious injuries. He has over a dozen scars on his back alone and many scratch marks on his chest. There have been several instances where bullets grazed his heart…"

Holly's words made Luke lift his chin proudly. For them, these scars were medals and proof of their contributions.

Holly continued, "Deputy Director Dawson's back was broken once. During a mission, he fell off a cliff and got caught by tree branches. Though he survived, the muscles on his lower back were severed and couldn't be repaired. Since then, Uncle Dawson has been on desk duty…"

Keira took a deep breath, feeling renewed admiration for Brian.

Luke scoffed, "That's enough. Every scar on my father's body represents his dedication, and yet your grandfather refuses to step down. It's unreasonable!"

He anxiously turned his attention back to the fight.

Keira tensed her jaw.

At that moment, she suddenly understood Brian and Luke's frustration.

Brian was a capable leader, and Luke had likely made many sacrifices as well. Old Mr. Sims, despite promising to pass the Special Division to Brian, stubbornly clung to his position at eighty years old. It was no wonder resentment was building.

Anyone in this situation would feel distanced.

Brian was only fifty and in prime time to achieve great things, yet Old Mr. Sims was holding him back. Wouldn't resentment build over time?

But given Holly's attitude, it was clear that Old Mr. Sims likely had his reasons.

The Special Division now seemed fragmented. Resolving their internal conflicts was crucial. The group needed to be united to face external threats.

Thinking this, Keira approached Holly and asked softly, "Has your grandfather really not considered handing over the Special Division to Brian?"

Holly shook her head, "I've never heard of such a plan. I've only heard my grandfather say that we should follow Deputy Director Dawson's leadership. He's never mentioned any intention to step down."

Keira nodded.

Meanwhile, in the arena, Brian and King had exchanged several more blows. Despite being seriously injured, Brian, once the Special Division's top combatant, managed to dodge several of King's attacks with his agile movements.

Just as the Special Division was encouraged by Brian's performance, Keira saw the head of Interpol signal to King. King immediately adjusted his strength and launched a furious punch towards Brian.

The punch was swift and powerful. If it connected, it could leave Brian severely injured or even crippled!
