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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKe92ICBQc

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM7Z4n1o4C

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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy8VUYAerH
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.”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FFo2JUCdc
“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!”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGTrqrICsJ

“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?”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJsFFfUJcq

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 –“479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EluyW3lty
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCCVFfknAX
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ94RLx9G8

She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEcGmDSU0g

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYZO65DEDm
“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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJlC9ENnwI

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaQLoMV4OU

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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkScsHM3KA

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU98ruyw61n
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZZMxb5jUO
