Chapter 1305
The figure was completely engulfed in a massive black cloak.
The voluminous fabric obscured his build and his face, leaving only a pair of eyes visible in the darkness. Those eyes were fixed on the girl on the screen.
His gaze was predatory and grim, carrying a chilling, scrutinizing weight.
Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the room.
A subordinate bowed as he entered, keeping his head lowered in a posture of absolute submission.
“Overlord,” he said softly upon stopping. “The Prescotts are calling again p>
The cloaked figure, addressed as the Overlord, kept his eyes locked on the screen without a ripple of emotion.
The subordinate continued, “The Prescotts are begging you for one more chance p>
“They promised they would find a way to dispose of Serena Lancaster this time and ensure she doesn’t ruin our plans p>
The cloaked figure let out a remarkably raspy scoff.
The sound was quiet, yet it sent a shiver down the spine. “A chance p>
His voice had been put through some kind of synthetic modulator, rendering it deep, grating, and devoid of genuine emotion. “Does trash like the Prescotts really think they have the right to ask me for a chance p>
The subordinate lowered his head further.
The cloaked figure spoke lightly, “They’re a bunch of useless garbage. Get rid of them p>
The subordinate tensed and immediately agreed. “Yes, sir p>
He was just about to retreat.
“Wait,” the cloaked figure called out.
The subordinate paused, his tone reverent. “Overlord, do you have further instructions p>
The cloaked figure’s gaze returned to the screen.
The footage shifted, playing a piece of hidden surveillance video with no public record.
It was the exact moment in the arena’s blind spot where Serena grabbed the security guard’s neck and injected the neurotoxin straight into Phelps Prescott’s veins.

Watching the scene, the cloaked figure let out a bone-chilling, eerie laugh. Just like that dead old hag, Aria Wynn Brilliant, yet hopelessly arrogant p>
Hearing this, the subordinate’s heart skipped a beat.
He knew that the ‘Aria Wynn’ the Overlord mentioned was a legendary figure from years ago.
She was also once one of The Obsidian Dark Web’s greatest obstacles.
And now.
The Overlord clearly saw the shadow of that woman in Serena Lancaster.
This was not a good sign.
Sure enough, the cloaked figure’s
voice turned icy. “The finals are

cannot be derailed by an
unpredictable variable like Serena p>
“She does need to be eliminated p>
Catching the implication, the subordinate immediately nodded. “Understood p>
“I will arrange for someone to take care of Serena as soon as possible p>
The cloaked figure suddenly seemed amused, tilting his head slowly with an unreadable tone. “Oh? How do you plan to handle it p>
The subordinate had clearly prepared for this and answered smoothly, “Word on The Obsidian Dark Web is that Bounty Hunter C recently resurfaced p>
“And… rumor has it that C is a bit short on cash right now p>
The cloaked figure raised an eyebrow. “C? The Abyss’s Top-Ranked Hunter p>

“Yes,” the subordinate confirmed with certainty. “His skills are infamous on the Dark Web. In t underground world, everyone treats. him with absolute caution.
“He only cares about money, not people. He doesn’t take sides p>
“As long as the price is right, anyone can become his prey p>
