The cloaked figure burst into laughter, the sound eerie and sinister. "C..."
"That does sound like an entertaining game."
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."
The subordinate knew this arrangement hit the sweet spot for the Overlord and nodded immediately. "I will make the arrangements right away."
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 face was prettier than most women's.
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.
"That new property up for auction on the West Coast, The Rose Quartz Isle, looks pretty sweet."
"Soft pink sand, private beaches... a girl would definitely love that!"
