Chapter 1132 Dragon's Spine

Nicole busied herself in the research center the next morning. She wanted to see if she could replace anyclues based on the information in the books.

Gina was slightly surprised when she saw Nicole earlier. "Nicole? Why are you here so early?"

Nicole glanced at Gina and replied casually, "I want to look for books related to this matter. You don'tneed to worry about me, Gina."

With a smile, Gina approached her and kindly offered, "Feel free to ask me if you need any help. I'll dowhat I can."

Nicole seemed to suddenly remember something then. She stopped what she was doing and turned toGina. "Gina, there was a box of Dragon's Spine in the research center, right?"

Gina looked somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing Nicole mention the Dragon's Spine. She avertedher gaze and asked in return, "Why are you asking about Dragon's Spine?"

"I've checked tons of books, and it's mentioned that Dragon's Spine has a certain suppressive effect onvoodoo. I want to try it," Nicole openly shared her thoughts.

Gina's expression changed slightly at those words. After contemplating for a moment, she replied,"Nicole, the Dragon's Spine is a treasure of the research center. It's an extremely rare and valuablemedicine that appears once in a hundred years. For something whose existence holds research value,it shouldn't be wasted like this."

Gina's words clearly indicated her reluctance to hand over Dragon's Spine. Nicole furrowed her brows,

feeling puzzled. "I remember there are two Dragon's Spine herbs in the research center. I only needone. If it's for research, you can use the other one."

Indeed, it was incredibly hard for one to get their hands on Dragon's Spine. Back then, Colton andNicole had gone through countless hardships together to replace the two. However, they kept it untouchedat the research center since they hadn't encountered any ailments that required the use of themedicine.

Gina only looked grimmer after hearing Nicole's words. After thinking for a moment, she tried to talkNicole out of it again. "Nicole, you haven't been at the research center for so long, and there may bemany things you don't understand. Although the reputation of Dragon's Spine has been hyped up bythe outside world, it doesn't have as many benefits as people claim. Why waste it?"

Seeing Gina constantly trying to stop her, Nicole finally realized that something was not right. Shelooked straight at Gina with her clear and perceptive eyes, sending shivers down Gina's back.

"Gina, why do you keep trying to stop me from getting Dragon's Spine?" Nicole questioned.

Despite her interrogation, Gina couldn't tell her the truth. After hesitating for a moment, she uttered,"Don't get angry, Nicole. I'm just advising you out of kindness. If you really want the Dragon's Spine, I'llarrange for someone to get it for you."

Upon hearing Gina's concession, Nicole decided not to dwell on it any longer and nodded. "Thenplease do it quickly, Gina. I want to see if the Dragon's Spine can effectively suppress the voodoo."

A strange gleam flashed in Gina's eyes.

Dragon's Spine was indeed an extremely rare and excellent medicine. Due to its scarcity, its price wasexorbitant, and it had been sold for more than 1.5 million in earlier years.

Not only that, the research center was the only place in the country that had it!

Initially, the research center had two Dragon's Spine herbs. However, when the science academyoffered Gina 7 million for one of them, she couldn't resist the temptation and secretly sold it off.

Now, there was only one Dragon's Spine left at the research center.

If that vial was taken and used by Nicole, they would have nothing left at the center.

No one knew about this. It had been several years since Gina placed a fake Dragon's Spine in thatbox. She hadn't expected Nicole to suddenly need it.

As she thought, Nicole came back here for a reason.

However, White Nicholson was the one who brought the Dragon's Spine herbs here back then. Sincenot many people in the world had seen it before, and the appearance of the fake medicine she foundresembled the real Dragon's Spine to some extent, she could deceive others with the fake one!
