The highest-ranking officer gave a sharp knock on the table, and the room fell silent. All eyes turned to the pair seated at the end of the table-Timothy and Beck.

Though both were from the military, they operated within different systems. Beck's side focused on talent acquisition and protection, while Timothy was all about the front line action.

Beck quickly brought up a holographic projection, displaying Miranda's profile for every higher-up in the military to see.

"Take a look at this young woman's profile. Eight months ago, a batch of highly advanced healing drugs appeared on the black market, followed by other categories of medication. These drugs are incredibly effective and beyond the capability of any pharmaceutical company in the world to produce. Each batch has been auctioned for astronomical sums in the market. Our investigation suggests that the mysterious pharmacist behind these drugs is in Zephra, and we've narrowed it down to this girl."

"During the time, we've also discovered that foreign entities have their eyes on her," Beck continued. "She hasn't admitted to anything, but we've seen her skills firsthand. I believe many of you have heard of Mr. Ashcroft, one of the Titans, who has been suffering from the SA virus for years. She cured him. She possesses the most advanced pharmaceutical technology and top-notch medical skills. I've been secretly assigning people to protect her, hoping to recruit her into our talent bureau. But..."

He shot a glance at Timothy. "Someone keeps trying to snatch her up for the front lines."

Upon hearing that, everyone turned to look at Timothy, who shot to his feet. "Do you know how good her aim is? Do you understand the value of a top sniper? If not, shut it!"

Beck pointed at Timothy. "She's a doctor! Do you know how valuable she is to the country?"

Scenes like this were commonplace in conferences, especially military ones. The form didn't matter; the outcome did.
