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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAv1n1sawJXY

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”268Please respect copyright.PENANAOGiEN6dFUf

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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAM29GnQrD23
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.”268Please respect copyright.PENANAHMNR934KD5
“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!”268Please respect copyright.PENANA24N7XVCQEq

“Elizabeth I-“268Please respect copyright.PENANAa5x4217xXS

“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?”268Please respect copyright.PENANAOoEtNzmr7m
268Please respect copyright.PENANACMDc9yZc5E
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 –“268Please respect copyright.PENANANjfNLsRco6
268Please respect copyright.PENANAakN5bXdkCR
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”268Please respect copyright.PENANAN2QZ4IRi4F
268Please respect copyright.PENANAj7QCbRW84A
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”268Please respect copyright.PENANASkE26bvh4J

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”268Please respect copyright.PENANAHJvx8gDoKi
“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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAQAHEn9Eb3p
268Please respect copyright.PENANA42saas66HQ
“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”268Please respect copyright.PENANAc7H2nhmnLf

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.268Please respect copyright.PENANAhoMimkmn2t

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“268Please respect copyright.PENANA3EEk9fxceZ
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 268Please respect copyright.PENANAGqq8TjdLSw
