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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Br78QcLfa

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILVwcESkoh

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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dVwssar1X
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.”438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQF0qHa0jT
“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!”438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2EhkjaH6f

“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?”438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFC0Yd6AJw

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 –“438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4CUAtzBkZ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpaaP7R5zw
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxWeEggCml

She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWuXwj8LDh

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhngYwsEjr
“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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGWJyBKUfY

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEFM3eZHGr

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.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfQhjyFHY3

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCGRgWXeH5
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yfD6bNQrm
