Upon seeing how unwavering Kiera was, Kaia pressed further, "There's something you may not know. Someone once tried to buy my life through the SR Alliance, offering a fat reward behind the scenes. The SR Alliance refused, but when the price is high enough, there's always someone bold or desperate enough to try, especially those who are always living on the blade's edge. That's why the officials have assigned your grandfather to guard me on this trip. If you stick close and those hunters strike, you might be risking your life. After knowing all this, do you still choose to stay and protect me?"
Kiera thumped her right hand hard over her heart, her face growing even graver, as if carving an oath into her very soul.
"I, Kiera Yates, granddaughter of former General Victor, make this vow: I'll fight to my last breath to shield Dr. Bennett. If anyone wants to harm her, they'll have to step right over my dead body!" she declared, loud and clear.
Her words struck with force, each sentence packed with ironclad determination.
Kaia arched her perfectly sculpted brows, her gaze filled with genuine admiration as she looked at Kiera.
'That's the backbone of the Yates family,' Kaia thought.
Just like Kaia had guessed, Kiera might be reckless, but when it came to the nation, she was a patriot. Loyalty counted.
"Alright then, stick with me for now," Kaia said.
Kiera nearly burst into tears from happiness. "So... Does this mean you approve of me now?"
'Heck yeah! I won! I totally beat Kaia at her own bet!' Kiera cheered inside, her heart doing backflips.
Kaia caught the look on Kiera's face and knew exactly what she was thinking.
"Heard you've pulled lots of questionable stuff before, things you wouldn't want aired out in public. And recently, you even called in troops from the Combat Division to go after a civilian," Kaia said, her voice cool and direct.
Kiera's stomach twisted with panic. "I had a reason for it, I..."
"Doesn't matter what your reason was. You did it, so you'd better own up to it," Kaia replied, her expression totally serious.
Kiera clenched her fists and took a deep breath.
"Yeah, I did it. I had my reasons, but Grandpa already gave me a piece of his mind. I went too far," Kiera admitted, her voice steady.
Kaia nodded, satisfied. "Owning up and changing for the better. That's what really matters. I hope you break out of your old ways for good."
"I will!" said Kiera. She vowed to herself. 'I swear, I'll never let Dr. Bennett down again. I'll never bring shame to the Yates family.'
"Mm. The day you truly change is the day I'll finally recognize you," Kaia said.
"Thank you, Dr. Bennett, for giving me this chance!" Kiera burst out gratefully.
Kiera shot Kaia a grateful look, but inside, she could barely hide her excitement.
'Kaia, looks like you're about to lose this bet,' Kiera thought, secretly gloating.

That afternoon, the International Scientific Research Exchange Seminar kicked off.
Within a minute, Kaia was swarmed by a crowd of top researchers, all eager to pick her brain and get answers to their questions.
Tobias stayed glued to her side the whole time, like a knight guarding his princess, never leaving her for even a second.
Before long, a girl wearing a mint-green evening gown approached, her movements timid and her cheeks tinged with nervous color.
"Sir, would you mind if we stepped aside for a moment to talk?" she murmured.
Upon hearing that, Kaia instinctively glanced over at Tobias.
But the moment her eyes flicked at him, she saw Tobias was already locked onto her, gazing unwaveringly.
Kaia nearly flinched away, but her nerves were rock solid. She forced herself to hold steady, refusing to let a hint of uncertainty show on her face.
Tobias, without missing a beat, shifted his gaze from Kaia. As he turned away, a smile flickered at the corner of his mouth.
"Sorry, I've got things to do. You should ask someone else," Tobias said coolly.
The girl's eyes lost their shine as she nervously bit her lower lip, her voice all hesitant. "I just wanted a quick talk, that's all, I..."
Tobias ignored her, turning his attention to Kaia instead. "Any idea why I told her no?" he remarked.
Kiera thumped her right hand hard over her heart, her face growing even graver, as if carving an oath into her very soul.
