530: Chapter 447: Encounter 530: Chapter 447: Encounter Mr.

Su Mo walked into the Tide Music Restaurant, where soft and pleasant music resounded, creating a very comfortable atmosphere.

He stood still, looking around.

On the central stage, a girl in a white dress, both beautiful and elegant, was holding a microphone and singing softly.

The tables around were occupied by quite a few guests.

Mr.

Su Mo searched the crowd for Karina and soon found her; she was wearing a tight, fiery red dress that accentuated her striking figure.

Her silver hair cascaded down her back, and her delicately made-up face and rosy lips looked irresistibly attractive.

Karina’s appearance and style were completely different from usual.

It was evident that she had deliberately applied makeup and chosen her dress.

At that moment, Karina exuded a very appealing charm unintentionally.

Many people dining here couldn’t help but have their eyes drawn to Karina, and quite a few were significantly tempted to try chatting with her.

Unfortunately, Karina completely ignored them, and they left in disappointment.

Mr.

Su Mo walked over and apologetically said, “Sorry I’m late, I made you wait.”

Karina responded with a radiant smile, “Not at all, I just arrived myself!”

Just then, a female waitress came up and respectfully asked, “Excuse me, sir, madam, would you like to order?”

“Do you have anything you’d like to eat?”

Karina smiled as she asked Mr.

Su Mo.

“I don’t have any particular requests, you can choose.”

Mr.

Su Mo wasn’t very particular about food; as long as it wasn’t a Nutrition Bar, he had no objections.

“Then let’s go with the A combo from your menu.”

Karina glanced through the menu and then told the waitress.

Mr.

Su Mo briefly glanced at the A combo, which seemed like the Hai Manti couple’s meal, incredibly pricey, priced at 50 Star Coins.

“Okay.”

The waitress respectfully withdrew.

Once the waitress left, Mr.

Su Mo said to Karina, “There was no need to order such an expensive meal, something casual would have sufficed.”

Karina shook her head, looking earnestly at Mr.

Su Mo as she said, “It’s not much money, and if you hadn’t arrived in time, I really could have died.

Doesn’t saving a life deserve a meal?”

“We’re friends too, don’t worry about it.”

Mr.

Su Mo replied without much thought.

Upon hearing Mr.

Su Mo’s words, Karina’s smile became even more radiant, and she thought to herself,

“It’s great, we are friends now.”

…

Soon, waitresses appeared carrying delicately crafted silver utensils.

The table quickly filled with mouth-watering delicacies, including gourmet sea crab, pearl fish, Arctic clams…

Karina opened a bottle of aged red wine and poured a glass each for Mr.

Su Mo and herself before raising her glass.

“Cheers!”

The two clinked glasses.

After drinking, Karina’s fair face gained a touch of rosiness.

Mr.

Su Mo felt somewhat uneasy under Karina’s gaze; he rarely had meals alone with a woman, especially not in such a dining environment.

He coughed and started a conversation.

“I heard from Venla last time, you were about to be promoted to backup team member?”

“Actually, I got officially promoted not long ago.”

Karina responded with a smile.

“That quickly?”

Mr.

Su Mo looked slightly surprised.

“Why are you so surprised, do you think I don’t deserve it?”

Karina teased.

“Cough, not that, may I ask how you got promoted so quickly?”

Mr.

Su Mo asked curiously.

“I was promoted through merit, most of which I accumulated in the Star Ring World.

Later, during the thieves operation on the Batak Planet, I was lucky and gained some more merit, so my promotion was relatively quick.”

Karina explained tactfully.

Of course, she didn’t tell Mr.

Su Mo that her uncle was the current Vice Speaker.

“I see.”

Mr.

Su Mo responded thoughtfully, realizing there really were no shortcuts.

Karina understood why Mr.

Su Mo was asking these questions.

She poured another glass of wine for him and said affectionately, “Mr.

Su Mo, I believe with your abilities, just a bit more time and opportunity, and becoming a backup team member will be a breeze for you.”

Mr.

Su Mo smiled wryly, shook his head, and replied, “It’s not that easy, let’s not talk about this.

I need to go to the restroom for a moment.”

“Alright.”

Karina nodded in response.

Then Mr.

Su Mo stood up and walked toward the restroom.

Karina turned to look around at the other guests and checked her phone; it should be about time.

Strange, why hasn’t the person shown up?

A few minutes later, Cheng Xue entered, dressed in a blue lace dress, a silver exquisite hair clip on her silver hair, a delicate necklace on her pale neck, and wearing black high heels, she had an indifferent expression as she came in.

As she entered, she immediately attracted the attention of many guests.

At that moment, Mr.

Su Mo walked out of the restroom, head slightly bowed as he moved toward the dining area.

He was pondering Karina’s words; he wasn’t foolish and could more or less read between the lines of what Karina implied.

She clearly told him that progressing to a backup team member needed time and that he shouldn’t rush things.

Just as Mr.

Su Mo was lost in thought, walking forward, he heard a familiar set of footsteps and caught the faint scent of bellflowers.

Mr.

Su Mo’s heart involuntarily tightened, and he instinctively looked up, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure immediately came into view.

At that moment, the indifferent-looking Cheng Xue came by, and by coincidence, she also noticed Mr.

Su Mo, leading to an unexpected encounter.
