Chapter 1135 Something’s Wrong With This Herb

Gina could only compromise for now because Nicole was the legitimate heir of the medical base.

If she were to anger Nicole, Nicole just might kick her out of the base. Not only that, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it!

Nicole started to calm down at Gina's compromise.

The reason she kept her distance from the science academy was that she had been there when they experimented on people.

She had witnessed the horrifying incident firsthand, which was why she refused to have any dealings with the academy. She was sure that a place capable of such things must be corrupt.

"I'm sorry, Gina. I was too harsh earlier," Nicole apologized when she sensed the tension easing.

Gina also didn't look as annoyed as before. She turned to look at the person beside her and waved. "Leave us alone. I need to have a chat with Nicole."

Hearing this, the person nodded and quickly left.


Gina then turned to Nicole and spoke in a softer tone. "It's okay. I was the one who didn't follow the rules our master set. It's normal for you to scold me. I'll definitely keep it in mind from now on."

"Okay." Nicole nodded, letting go of the issue now that it had been resolved.

She soon took out the Dragon's Spine whose front portion had been shaved off from her pocket and placed it in front of Gina.

Gina glanced at the medicinal herb on the table before looking back at Nicole. She curiously asked, "Is something the matter?"

"There's something wrong with this Dragon's Spine," Nicole replied.

Gina's heart jolted nervously. She had never thought Nicole would know that there was something wrong with the Dragon's Spine.

Dragon's Spine was an extremely expensive and rare herb. Few people had seen it, and even if they had, they wouldn't be able to distinguish any irregularities.

A forced smile appeared on her face as she dryly asked, "Something's wrong? What is the problem? I got it from the medical base. No one has touched it."

With her eyebrows pulled together, Nicole took out a small knife from her pocket and lightly scraped the herb, collecting some powder-like substance. She then handed it over to Gina.

"Dragon's Spine has a bittersweet taste and carries the scent of grass. This one is different."

Gina's heart skipped a beat when she heard Nicole describing the characteristics of a Dragon's Spine. She never expected Nicole to know about them!

However, she kept her calm and only asked after a moment, "Nicole, could it be that the smell changed because it has been stored for too long?"
