Chapter 1302: 1302
When the two foreigners saw Zhang Heng rushing out from Jiajia’s back, their faces were filled with shock.
They hesitated for a moment, then saw the male foreigner rush towards Zhang Heng. His fists were powerful, and it was obvious that he had been training all this time, and his fist technique was very efficient, with traces of military training, it was not a problem for him to deal with two or three ordinary people.
Unfortunately, his opponent this time was Zhang Heng. The female foreigner was still aiming her gun at Jia Jia, but she did not expect her companion to suddenly fall to the ground. This shocked her greatly.
No one knew her companion’s background better than her. Miles had served in the military for four years, and his results were excellent. After he retired, he went to the organization training very hard, and he spent most of his time in the gym, in the end, he was defeated in one move.
To the female foreigner, this was simply unbelievable. However, she quickly thought of something. Her expression changed, and she decisively turned the gun toward Zhang Heng. However, before she could pull the trigger again.., the pistol disappeared from her hand.
The female foreigner did not try to be brave. She had already realized that the difference in combat power between the two sides was too great. After losing her weapon, she did not want to chase after him. She immediately retreated, but Zhang Heng was clearly one step slower than her, after activating, his speed instantly surpassed hers.
Zhang Heng used the butt of his gun to hit the back of the female foreigner’s head, stunning her. In less than two seconds, the male and female foreigners were already lying on the ground. Zhang Heng said to Miss Succubus, who was still in a daze, “Drag her into the room.”

“AH? Oh… Oh, OH.”Jiajia finally reacted.
One for each of them, Zhang Heng dragged the two foreigners into the room. As an old monster who had lived for more than a thousand years, Miss Succubus was not a fool. She was just having a hard time accepting it, when she returned to the room, her emotions had also calmed down, but the expression on her face was still a little surprised.
“These people are here for me?”
“Yes.”Zhang Heng nodded. “They killed you as soon as they saw you, and they obviously didn’t take me into consideration. This means that their target is you and not me. Have you made any enemies recently?”
“I’m just a succubus. Who Can I make enemies with?”Jia Jia shrugged, “Every customer of mine praises me endlessly. I’ve satisfied their deepest desires. After I’m done, they all want to give me 5-star reviews. Of course, their wives might not think so. I’ve heard that some people have lost interest in their wives after receiving my services, and they even divorced after a short while. But Can you blame me? “They’re the ones who have become too old to hold on to their husbands’hearts.”
“All mortals age. No one can remain beautiful forever. This is the meaning of marriage. It provides some kind of certainty in the fickle affairs of the world,”Zhang Heng said after a pause, “These people are not here to catch an adulterer. They have received strict training and are likely to come from some organization. By the way, do you really have no impression of them at all?”
“For example, when did you accidentally drain the boss of some organization?”
“In the past 200 years, I’ve rarely done something like this.”Miss Succubus rolled her eyes. “Unless they’re avenging their great-great-great-great-great-grandfather.”
“Up to you.”Zhang Heng picked up his travel bag again. “I’m just giving you a reminder. This is your business, not mine. I suggest that from now on, we go our separate ways.”.

“Separate ways? But they still have their people down there.”Jiajia was startled.
“I know, but they’re here for you.”
“Don’t you have any gentlemanly manners at all? To think that we’re old acquaintances. I saw you make your move just now. With your skills, it shouldn’t be too difficult to take down the remaining two people.”
“It’s not difficult, but like I said, they might have some organization behind them. I’ve had enough trouble, and I don’t want to get into any more. As for gentlemanly manners, I’ve already saved you once, so there’s no need to thank me.”Zhang Heng picked up his bag again, “You’re a succubus that has lived for more than a thousand years. Even without me, dealing with two ordinary people shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“It’s not polite to keep emphasizing a lady’s age. I’m a Succubus, not a warrior. When have you ever seen us fight in a fairy tale? All of our skill points are focused on seduction, and it only works on men. Didn’t you see that I couldn’t do anything other than stand there and get shot by that woman just now? Also,”Jia Jia hesitated for a moment, still, she continued, “That man is no ordinary person. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if they’re really prepared. Did you see the sunglasses on his face?”
“Is there anything wrong with those sunglasses? I checked them just now. They’re just ordinary sunglasses.”
“There’s nothing wrong with the sunglasses. The problem is me.”Jiajia sighed. “Succubi need to look into the target’s eyes when they activate the seduction skill. Moreover, there can’t be any obstructions between them. This is a secret that very few people know.”
“He just used a pair of sunglasses to break through your hidden seduction skill?”
“I’m worried that they came prepared.”A rare look of worry appeared on Jiajia’s face, “How about this, I’ll pay you to be my bodyguard. As long as you help me get rid of them, I’ll pay you… HMM, 500 points.”
“Are all succubi as rich as you?”Zhang Heng stopped in his tracks.
“Not all of them, but most of them aren’t.”
“Unfortunately, due to my lack of points, these points aren’t of much use to me.”Zhang Heng continued to walk out the door, however, at that moment, his gaze swept across the two foreigners on the floor and paused.
“Huh? What’s wrong with them? Why are they sleeping so badly?”Jia Jia followed Zhang Heng’s gaze and saw the saliva dripping from their mouths. In such a short period of time, a large piece of carpet had already been soaked.
Zhang Heng remembered the sales manager sitting next to him on the train home for winter break. He was also like this after he fell asleep. He reached out to push the female foreigner, looked into her eyes, and said to Jia jia, “Bring a basin of water.”
At that moment, Miss Succubus was still hoping for Zhang Heng to protect her. She couldn’t wait for a certain someone to stay longer. Hearing that, she obediently went to the bathroom to fetch the water. Zhang Heng didn’t show any mercy and directly poured the basin of water on the female foreigner’s face, however, the female foreigner didn’t react at all.
“What’s the situation?”Jiajia also noticed the abnormality.
“It’s the effect of the B grade item [ dream of death ] ,”Zhang Heng said in a deep voice.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Warmage: A Progression Fantasy
As the daughter of a renowned War Hero, Shaya was destined for a life of heroism and glory. A life she desired more than anything else – until her mother sacrificed herself for the cause and the very Empire she died for stole Shaya’s dreams from her. Cunning and resourceful, Shaya worked hard to keep her and her brother safe, clawing themselves out of a system set against them and gaining the power they needed to find their way in life again. Now, she’s achieved the first step of her dreams: she's been accepted to the prestigious Imperial Academy of War and Magic. In order to become the best gods damned Warmage around, all she has to do is overcome the Imperial system that wants to see her fail and control the demonic blood in her veins that wants for nothing but rage and violence. ...but hey, every obstacle is an opportunity to exploit – if you’re willing to think smart and work hard. Updates Sunday - Tuesday - Thursday![successful participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Rating: This should align pretty closely with your typical MCU movie, so PG-13 for scenes of fantasy violence. There'll be gore and some swearing but not much beyond that. If that changes, I'll warn you. MC: Shaya is analytical, but begins the story emotional and impulsive. She leans towards rationality and uses this to control her demonic impulses to the best of her abilities. She begins the story as a somewhat capable protagonist, but grows in power steadily through hard work and diligence. Fights: ...I like fight scenes. They’re going to be detailed, but I won’t drown you in description of individual hand movements or footwork. I like fights that can be solved like puzzles by the audience, where creative thinking wins the day using tools you know the protagonist has at their disposal.
