Chapter 1339: Chapter 1339 – Oil Painting
Zhang Heng heard footsteps outside and knew that Sage probably had something important to attend to. He stood up from the sofa with Miss Succubus to bid her farewell. Sage had wanted to persuade her to stay, but.., however, the next moment, there was a knock on the door.
Sage could only smile apologetically at the two of them and said to the person outside, “Come in.”
Before she could finish her sentence, a woman in a Yaksha t-shirt rushed in from outside and whispered something into Saiji’s ear.
Saiji’s expression changed slightly, and she asked subconsciously, “Have you told Chairman Qiu?”
“Yes, Chairman Qiu has already booked a flight, but it’ll be late at the earliest.”
Saiji nodded and then said to Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus, “Well, there’s an emergency at the company, so I won’t be keeping you guys for dinner.”
“You’ve already helped me a lot by taking the time to answer my questions. We won’t keep you from your work anymore.”Zhang Heng and Saiji shook hands again before leaving the office together with Miss Succubus.
The two of them walked down the corridor and noticed that many of the people who were originally at their work stations had disappeared. Only a few people were gathered at a spot closest to the right wall. It seemed like they had encountered some technical difficulties, the bespectacled man who was surrounded seemed to be one of the company’s most skilled technicians.
Previously, when Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus had passed by, everyone had been working hard. He was the only one who had been eating potato chips while watching a drama. If this person who had openly violated the rules wasn’t the boss’s relative.., then it had to be someone who had the ability to be part of the company.
Other people might not know this, but how could Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus not know that the boss’relatives wouldn’t work here? Therefore, the latter was the only possibility.

In reality, Sage and the Inuyasha t-shirt girl, who were following behind him, were also heading for that seat. However, this time, this god was obviously caught in a tough battle, and his brows were furrowed, the people beside him did not even dare to take a deep breath as they were afraid of interrupting his train of thought.
However, the bespectacled man was a tough character after all. After thinking for a moment, he saw sage appear from the corner of his eye. His entire person seemed to have been buffed and his spirit was greatly boosted as he ended the pre-casting wave, his fingers flew like the wind as lines of code poured out.
However, just as he finished typing the code confidently and knocked on the Enter Key, the computer in front of him suddenly turned black. Then, a sentence that had no beginning or end popped up on the screen.
— don’t waste your energy. No one in this world can beat me in terms of code.
The bespectacled man was shocked when he saw this. “The computer has been hacked. When? And this guy is too arrogant.”
/ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.
As soon as he finished speaking, another oil painting popped up on the screen. At the same time, it was written in large red words, “Found you.”
In fact, it wasn’t just the computer. This painting had popped up on all the computers in the company that had Internet access.
When everyone saw this oil painting and the line of words that had no beginning or end, they were all baffled. They thought that this was a prank by someone. Only Seagel, who was standing beside them, had a drastic change in expression. She was even a little frightened.
This was because the oil painting was Gerard’s “Cupid and Sage”. This meant that someone had already seen through her true identity. In other words, the other party knew that she was here!

Sage herself was only a small transparent figure in Greek mythology. She had never made any enemies with anyone other than Venus. Moreover, the grudge between her and Venus had disappeared along with her marriage to Cupid, after being accepted by the gods on Mount Olympus, it had long disappeared. But because of this, she was now even more terrified.
Because of Cupid, she had always lived her life as a princess. Although she was the manager of this department, she usually bought clothes and tried on lipstick. She did not care about anything else, however, she was aware of the recent series of conflicts between the new and Old Gods. The relationship between the two sides was getting more and more tense, and the only person who could possibly reconcile the conflict between the two sides, Gaime, had disappeared.
Seeing that an all-out war was inevitable, it was almost obvious who was targeting her, who had no enemies. This was also the real reason why Sage was so frightened. Especially since her husband, Cupid, wasn’t around, she was completely flustered.
Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus had already reached the door, but they stopped in their tracks. They also saw the oil painting and the line of words on the screen where the advertisement was originally playing.
Miss Succubus was shocked, and her expression turned serious. “Is new God really going to start an all-out war, and they’re not even going to let sage off?”
However, Zhang Heng wasn’t in a hurry to answer this question. He averted his gaze from the painting and asked, “How strong is Sage?”
“Er… she’s weaker than me.”
“If that new God really wanted to kill her, he wouldn’t have gone to so much trouble. He even attacked their company’s app first, and now he’s making such a declaration. Since he knows where she is, he should just send someone to deal with her quietly.”
“What do you mean? Are you trying to say that the target of his superfluous actions isn’t her?”Miss Succubus suddenly thought of something and widened her eyes, “Someone is trying to deal with Cupid?”? “That’s right. Saiji also said that she had already told Cupid to book the earliest flight back. Now that she’s in danger, she’ll definitely urge Cupid further. This means that someone is trying to ambush him Midway.”
Miss Succubus also came to her senses, “Cupid is an important figure in the old gods’camp. If he’s killed, it’ll be bad news for the Old Gods. I’ll go remind Saiji now. No matter what, we’re all Old Gods. Even if we’re not familiar with each other, we have to help each other at a time like this. But in that case, there shouldn’t be any danger here.”
Zhang Heng didn’t say anything, but Miss Succubus had already turned around to look for sage. She pulled her aside and told Sage about her analysis. Sage was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat. When she realized that she was in danger.., it was very likely that when she was attacked by the new God, her first reaction was to contact her husband for protection. However, after hearing Sage’s words, she gritted her teeth and put down her phone. Not only that.., she also sent a message to remind Cupid to pay attention to the dangers on the road.
On the other side, the succubus had already returned to Zhang Heng’s side. She shook her head at him. “Let’s go. I’ve already done what I can. The rest is beyond our control.”

Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy.
