Nyla pressed her lips together and said, “It’s clear that the people at Skyray Medical are eager to secure this partnership. They might even send someone to follow us. If they find out we’re going to the herb production base, they might prepare in advance.”

This meant they wouldn’t be able to assess the true quality of the herbs at the base.

Spencer smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Jayston. We have ways to evade Skyray Medical’s people.”

Relieved to hear they had a plan, Nyla nodded and said no more.

Around 2:00 p.m., a car arranged by Spencer arrived at the hotel to pick them up.

Shortly after they got in, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “We’re being followed.”

Spencer remained calm. “Ignore them.”

Trying to lose them would only alert Skyray Medical. By acting unaware, they could keep Skyray Medical’s people complacent.

In less than half an hour, the car stopped at the entrance of the busiest mall in Rontana. They got out and walked into the mall, with Skyray Medical’s people following them inside.

Damon headed straight for a clothing store on the third floor, a store that only admitted members. The people tailing them could only observe from nearby.

Inside, a sales associate led them to the fitting rooms. Mr. Sumner, the clothes are ready. After changing, you can leave through the back door.”

Once they changed clothes, the associate handed their original clothes to two men and a woman, who then changed into them and sat on the store’s lobby sofa with their backs to the door.

The tailing agents initially grew anxious when they lost sight of them but relaxed upon spotting the decoys.

Meanwhile, Damon and the others exited through the back door, taking an elevator to the basement where another car awaited them.

As they got in, Nyla couldn’t help but say, “We can’t stay in one store all afternoon. They’ll get suspicious.” Spencer chuckled. “Don’t worry, Ms. Jayston. We won’t be exposed.”

The decoys would continue shopping in the mall for three to four hours, giving them ample time to visit the herb base and return.

The car drove out of the city, stopping at the entrance of Rontana Meds Base. They got out and walked inside, flanked by fields of herbs emitting a faint, pleasant aroma.

Soon, a representative approached them, explaining the growth and usage of various herbs.

“Mr. Sumner, the rauvolfia you need is over there. Let me show you,” the representative said.

Damon followed him, asking indifferently, “Do medicine companies in Rontana supply all their herbs from

here?”

The man nodded. “Yes. Large companies like Sandhosh, Skyray, and Newfarm all source from here.”

Damon said nothing more until they reached the rauvolfia plantation.

“The rauvolfia is just blooming and still growing. Let me show you the dried herb products,” the representative replied.

The herbal aroma was much stronger inside the drying room.

Nyla looked around curiously at the various herbs. She had only ever seen these herbs in the lab, never in such quantity.

Absorbed in her surroundings, she didn’t notice the small slope ahead and suddenly slipped.

“Watch out.” A cool male voice sounded in her ear as she fell into a warm embrace.
