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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyHCEdBSf4

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18csP9oxvZ

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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUAibYDDjA
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.”478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wciyewTZ8
“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!”478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV99e61lAhh

“Elizabeth I-“478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G8Zhhx3xH

“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?”478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazvGNhbYcP

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 –“478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd1RMNnNOr
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82eVxxdGvc
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr2Q75B7OV
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb6aNJy3Cc
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2SSMtnj63

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcplvKtT6N
“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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU7bGiOlFj

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sFFeKY9yk

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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBX2GmSLKz

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ69KXkgxe
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EqODZNCa2
