Chapter 1136 Why Do I Need Someone Else’s Permission

Nicole gently pushed the silk aside and took a whiff of its scent—it was the smell she remembered.

Placing the two Dragon's Spine herbs together, she noticed that they looked almost identical. However, their scents

were vastly different.

Nicole presented both of them to Gina and informed seriously, "I suspect this Dragon's Spine is fake."

Gina's eyes flickered with a hint of guilt for a second, but she quickly composed herself and put on a small smile.

"That's impossible. This Dragon's Spine has always been kept in the medicinal herb repository this whole time. No

one could have taken it. Moreover, there were no issues when it was brought back here."

However, Nicole was certain that this was definitely a fake.

She said earnestly, "It could have been an inside job."

Hearing her talk about it being an "inside job" left a mark on Gina's heart.

This Dragon's Spine was extremely valuable, and with her as the person in charge of the medical base, no one

dared to touch it without her permission. Because of that, things had been peaceful after the science academy

bought the herb from her at a high price.

Until Nicole appeared!

Why is she so annoying? Not only does she want the Dragon's Spine, but she can also distinguish between real and

fake ones.

Gina took a deep breath and refuted with a frown, "It can't be. Nicole, the people in the medical base are carefully

selected, and the personnel in the repository wouldn't do something like this either."

However, it was Nicole and White who had personally placed the two Dragon's Spine herbs in the medicinal herb

repository. They were undoubtedly real. But now, one was real and the other was fake—someone must have

switched them!

"You should look into this. Dragon's Spine herbs are precious. If someone has tampered with it, we can't let them

stay in the medical base any longer," Nicole reminded while taking out the Dragon's Spine.

Gina's heart skipped a beat. She wasn't sure if Nicole was hinting at something.

She looked at the Dragon's Spine Nicole was holding and hesitantly uttered, "Nicole, if we only have one real and

one fake Dragon's Spine left, maybe we should keep them both for now. Otherwise, the medical base will be left

with no Dragon's Spine."

Nicole paused for a moment, her gaze dimming slightly. "Although the Dragon's Spine is said to have incredible

uses, its main effects are tied to voodoo bugs. Therefore, its usefulness is limited. I need it to save Colton. I hope

you understand, Gina."

Gina walked up to Nicole with her eyes fixated on the Dragon's Spine in her hand. "Nicole, the Dragon's Spine

represents the medical base. You can't just use it for your personal gain. I am sure there are other ways to save

your husband."

When Nicole heard the underlying threat in Gina's words, she stopped in her tracks and clenched her fists.

The beautiful and aloof woman's gaze was cold and piercing when it landed on Gina's face.

Gina's heart seemed to stop for a second there, but she quickly regained her composure and insisted with a smile,

"Nicole, as the current head of the medical base, I naturally have to consider the interests of the base. I gave you

one because I thought there were two Dragon's Spine herbs. Now that we found out there is only one left, I'm

afraid it will be a problem if I let you have it."

Although her words sounded polite, there was a hint of stiffness in both her words and demeanor that made Nicole

uncomfortable.

She realized that the person standing before her was no longer the senior she knew from years ago. Gina had

changed. She had become someone who was driven by personal gain and disregarded human emotions.

Nicole refused to compromise. She tightened her grip on the Dragon's Spine in her hand and smiled. "I don't think

there is going to be a problem at all."

Gina's expression changed slightly, and her tone unknowingly became gloomier. "Nicole, are you really going to

selfishly use this Dragon's Spine for yourself?"

Nicole proceeded to scoff as she raised her hand holding the herb, mocking, "Ms. Feuer, this item was discovered

not by anyone from the medical base, but by me and Master White in the wilderness. Why do I need someone

else's permission to use what belongs to me?"
