Chapter 796: Red Alert

[INTERNATIONAL CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE]

"Red Alert! Red Alert!"

Everyone in the control room was panicking, typing ceaselessly on their monitors as if their lives depended on it. Their screens kept showing alarms with a blinking note: RED ALERT! It was the same on the large screens in the front of the office, along with the piercing sound of the alarm, indicating their system was being attacked by an unknown party.

"What is going on?!" Wolf pushed the entrance with a bam, followed by his thunderous voice fading quickly by the alarm.

"Chief!" A man turned up from his side, his face dominated by panic. "A virus is attacking our system."

"A virus?" Wolf seethed as his eyes glowed malevolently. "Then why haven’t you done anything to it?"

"The thing is, this virus is different. It went past our initial defense walls and is already trying to penetrate our last defense wall!"

Deep lines appeared between Wolf’s brows as he stared at the unit leader under him. There was only one time the Central Intelligence’s security was compromised. That one time Hera herself made a show in this place. But at that time, Hera didn’t have to go through the hassle of infiltrating this agency’s system because he helped her.

After that unforgettable incident, everyone in the Central Intelligence, with additional funding from the government, created flawless defense walls. The data they gathered was the most important weapon they wielded. Thus, they didn’t want to compromise it again.

How come this was happening again?

Wolf’s heart thudded as his mind went wild, thinking this wasn’t Hera’s doing. If this was her, then she would’ve told him. Thus, it alarmed him. If someone else could pull this off, then the Central Intelligence was in deep trouble. But before Wolf could open his mouth and give out his order, the blinking red screen stopped, replaced by a woman.

"Hello, people of the world."

Everyone’s breath hitched at the voice of the woman on the large screen in the front. They slowly turned their heads to the large screen with wide eyes, lips falling as soon as they saw the person in the video smiling.

"That..." Wolf trailed off, confused to see Hera’s face displayed on the screen. "She..."

"Hera Cruel." Before Wolf could even say the name, the man standing beside him whispered in surprise. "That’s Hera Cruel."

Many of the employees in the Central Intelligence were already employed when that incident years ago happened. Therefore, they could remember Hera’s face. There was no way they would forget about her with the fiasco she created in this place years ago.

"You must all be surprised to see me," Hera chuckled, her voice still as seductive as ever. "Well, me too! I was also surprised that I am... alive!"

The majority of the people watching this clip held their breaths, watching her grin as she covered her eyes. After a second, she moved her hands away from her face, saying, "Peekaboo!" which was then followed by a hearty chuckle.

"Oh, dear." She shook her head, her laughter fading. "Look at your faces. So cute~!"

After hearing her last remarks, everyone looked at each other. It was as though the last two sentences snapped them back to reality.

"Keep working!" Yelled Wolf on instinct. "Don’t fall for this diversion! Whoever this person is, they are simply diverting everyone’s attention! Keep the last defense wall active and take down any virus that will attempt to break through it!"

Without saying anything, everyone hurriedly set their undivided attention to their computers. All they could think of was to keep their defenses, letting Hera speak in the background as a great reminder that someone was trying to sneak into the Central Intelligence.

Meanwhile, Wolf’s jaw tightened. He averted his eyes back to the large screen, seeing Hera pause as if she was watching everyone with delight.

"There’s no way that’s her," he murmured, knowing Hera was now in Heaven’s body. "Whoever is trying to use her..."

His jaw tightened even more at the thought of Dragon. Not long ago, he received a tip that Hera was alive and was held captive by Dragon. He contacted Heaven about it, and she confirmed it. From his understanding, the original Heaven Liu was now in Hera’s body. They switched bodies. Ridiculous as it may sound, but that was the truth.

"Everyone might be wondering how I am alive. Well, I also had the same question when I woke up. I thought I was dead," Hera continued to speak in a playful tone. "It took me some time to grasp my situation and accept this reality. Perhaps I have the luck of the devil. But well, I guess that doesn’t matter to you and me."

Her smile stretched just a little bit as she chuckled. "I am alive. Hera Cruel. The one and only. And with this on the table, things will be fun. Very fun."

"For those who tried to make fun of me and thought they were safe, you’re wrong, dear. To everyone who didn’t respect my wishes, and for those who still targeted me even after death..." she paused once more as if that would raise the suspense of this announcement. "... you are all dead. That’s right. You will all pay for ever believing just because the devil is taking a beauty rest, it won’t wake up even if you poke it."

Her smile slowly disappeared and was replaced with nothing but coldness as she added, "I am coming for you. Watch out."

Beads of sweat covered everyone’s forehead as they tried to ignore the main agenda of this announcement. Yet, none of them dared waste time as they figured out who their enemy was. Wolf, on the other hand, trembled in anger.

’Dragon, if I find out that you’ve brainwashed her to do this...’Wolf balled his hands into a tight fist as his eyes glinted in fury. ’I will kill you when I get the chance, kid.’

His entire body shook, convinced this was probably Heaven in Hera’s body. But after a second, he felt a vibration in his chest. When he took out his phone and saw the message on the screen, his raging heart calmed down as it said,

[It was me, Wolf. Calm down.]
