his unusual behavior was probably all in pursuit of someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo, have you found her yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet, Miss Karina, if I may ask boldly, are you a data analyst?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo took a deep breath and looked up at Karina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venla, with a sly expression, commented, “Karina’s a data analyst?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must be joking; despite her beauty, she’s no mere figurehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s far stronger than you, currently an elite Combatant and about to be promoted to a backup member.”\u003C\u002Fp>",934,"2026-06-09T07:18:27.310Z",1,"novelbin.me","42c03bf30cc83ecf89df4af5b63e40f01745c535341cc14d54a000a888918e8a","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-519","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-517",1771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdestiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-cover.jpg"]
