The man’s gaze was empty, and his heart was hollow. He stood in front of the wide empty desk, paper laying over the ground.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMg39L8UVJ

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqJGoXMsjF

He turned around and saw a girl with messy blonde hair and red-rimmed eyes; she’d been crying. She stood in the far away doorframe, her hands trembling. Behind her stood two young men, fear in their eyes, but of course they would put their fears aside for her.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkWx432UD3
James scoffed, causing the three people to flinch. “Please? Hahaha! That’s funny. After all this time and everything you did to me, you think you can get what you want with a simple please.”624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjVci7dD5R
“You coward!” The taller of the two boys stepped forward. “What type of man keeps innocent people hostage! Dare you fight me one-on-one!”
“Jeremy, stop it!”624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV4yILreIk

“I understand you’re trying to help, but now is not the time.” She pulled the man back and continued to stare at James. “What will it take for you to let them go?”624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa3oTITzMk

James smirked. “You already know what I want.”
Elizabeth pursed her lips. She contemplated for a few seconds before finally shouting ‘fine’. “I’ll give you the red ribbon of pursuit, so will you –“624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPgOeObZGX
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOKxHOlDq2
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBAn4HAeW7
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHDln0irKc
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsrwSq5Thp

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXHFD0E0mV
“You!” All three became startled by this proposition. Everyone knew of the forbidden realm. A place filled with extreme dangers and extreme rewards. Most people would never think of stepping foot in there for fear of dying. But if it was this man who went in, he would definitely succeed.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPKXoRomlI

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmew3IPjpl8

The man placed his gaze on the table, where there were weird characters and symbols on rune keys. In the center of the table was a button cover by a plastic box with a large warning label engraved on it. James carefully removed the box before gently caressing the button.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMQExhYQEx

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j38XFcwvN
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xCF67sAmR
