Chapter 1199 Enough

Nicole didn't have the patience to mess around. So, she said with a tinge of impatience, "I came back this time to take over this base. By tomorrow, I want you to hand over all the files and documents in this place."

The proclamation came as a shock. Gina clenched her fists, her eyes going wide with disbelief. A long while later, she finally realized Nicole wasn't kidding. Her eyes darted around, and she stammered, "T-That's a bit sudden, don't you think? This base isn't as simple as it looks. I can't gather up all the files by tomorrow."

Nicole didn't look at her. She simply smiled and said, "It's alright. I have the highest clearance around anyway. I can check the files with or without your help." Nicole went inside.

A panicked Gina quickly caught up to Nicole. "You seem to distrust me a lot. I've been toiling away for the base all these years, and you seem to be accusing me of doing something bad," said Gina, her face red with indignation. She was attempting to make herself out to be the victim here.

Nicole stopped and whirled; her eyes filled with nothing but cool darkness. Cool, inky darkness. She looked almost disquietingly reserved. "Whether it's an accusation or truth, we'll know once I search the files." Nicole smiled mirthlessly, the look in her eyes stone cold. "You have nothing to fear if you haven't done anything wrong," she continued.

Gina couldn't argue with that. Still, the truth was that she did use this base as a cover for her real operations. If Nicole were to look into it, she would definitely find out about it. Gina clenched her fists and shrilly exclaimed, "You and White might've built this place from the ground up, but you haven't even managed it since White left. I was the one who put in all the work, not you. You didn't even put in an ounce of effort."

Gina's accusatory tone lit something within Nicole, and her face turned dark. She narrowed her eyes and sneered. "I didn't put in any effort? As I recall, I haven't owed you any payment for your services, have I?"

That was true, and Gina couldn't argue with that. She was at a disadvantage and couldn't argue. Nonetheless, she had to stand her ground. Therefore, she said in a stiff tone, "But I've contributed a lot of effort to the base. Money alone isn't enough to put a value on it."

Gods, she's giving a justification? Nicole thought that was utterly ridiculous. A smirk curled her lips, and she languidly said, "Contribution? You know the master holds a deep grudge against the Yaels, and yet you still chose to work with their science academy, giving them the master's books and the Dragon's Spine."

The accusation was starting to pile on the pressure, and Gina got nervous, but she was also curious. How'd she find out? The deal was done in secrecy, so how'd she find out? Did the Yaels tell her? But… I left no evidence of that trade, so I'll deny it. "Even if you want to take back the base, you can't accuse me of something I didn't do. You have no proof." She glared at Nicole fiercely, her face red.

Nicole chuckled. She wasn't surprised the wench would argue, and she made her way to Gina's office. She knew where it was. Gina swiftly followed her into the office as well.
