The cloaked figure burst into laughter, the sound eerie and sinister. “C p>
“That does sound like an entertaining game p>
His gaze returned to the monitor, locking onto the girl’s strikingly beautiful face.
His tone held an air of arrogant amusement and cruelty. “Then let’s see if this Demon of the Gray Zone can actually survive being hunted by our top bounty hunter p>
The subordinate knew this arrangement hit the sweet spot for the Overlord and nodded immediately. “I will make the arrangements right away p>
Moments later, the subordinate backed out of the room.
Inside the vast, freezing base, only the cloaked figure and the massive screen remained.
On the display, the girl’s features were icy, her eyes indifferent.
She looked up at the camera lens.
It was as if she were staring straight through the screen, meeting the eyes hidden beneath the black hood in a silent standoff.
In Severia, inside a breathtakingly luxurious medieval castle.
Crystal chandeliers bathed the interior in daylight-bright illumination.
Priceless antique ornaments were scattered everywhere, and the walls were
adorned with oil paintings that were clearly worth a fortune.
Amidst this extravagantly lavish display.
A man slouched lazily into a velvet sofa.
He wore an ostentatious burgundy silk robe, the collar parted wide to reveal a broad expanse of pale skin.

His features were impossibly exquisite, bordering on ethereal.
Those sharp, slightly tilted eyes were especially captivating; when he narrowed them, they practically radiated a seductive charm.
He absentmindedly swirled a glass of red wine in one hand while lazily scrolling through The Obsidian Dark Web’s forums, muttering to himself.

“When I get home and hand over the deed, Serena is going to be so moved. She’ll
absolutely worship me p>
The man daydreamed with a satisfied smirk.
Right at that moment.
Beep!
A piercing red light flared on the screen.
The entire forum page was overridden by a glaringly obvious crimson bounty banner.
It was a top-tier hit contract.
[The S-Class Asura Bounty]
[Bounty Amount: Thirty Billion Dollars]
[Target: Serena Lancaster, Captain of the Elyndorian Representative at the Global Elite Challenge]

Jasper paused his swirling wine glass, his captivating eyes instantly lighting up.
He slammed the wine down and sat up straight, his stunning face etched with pure thrill. “Thirty billion p>
“Thirty billion just to take out a defenseless female college student p>
“Whoever posted this… has way more money than brains p>
He casually clicked open the target’s dossier.
The page rapidly populated with Serena’s public profile and various clips from the competition.
He scanned it briefly.
Watching the girl absolutely dominate the arena in the video, radiating a terrifyingly intense aura, he raised an eyebrow.
