It doesn’t matter, but I advise you to leave, it’s for your good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must have offended someone, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been assigned to this infamous ’most useless team’ in all of Deep Blue City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave now, just say it was because arrogant Yi Fan drove you away, at most you’ll lose some face, which is better than rotting here later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I right, Captain Han Zhan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Fan, the drunkard, waved the empty bottle meaningfully at Han Zhan, asking.\u003C\u002Fp>",1152,"2026-06-10T05:31:12.900Z",1,"novelbin.me","675314075b2b467a4ace988632c386f1cd572c32c775a7be847222bf43fd27b2","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-17","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-15",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-cover.jpg"]
