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.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBNPtXwry1

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gUbnmcZxT

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.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSlBx2HlTU
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.”507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKFOtXyGOh
“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!”507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kpcD22ej3

“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?”507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kfnbvOOsB

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 –“507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBszAiq7U8
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc24Fd3445
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvM2jnPNGu

She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A2qknyJ4x

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnhy8P4aWp
“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.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumh6skrd6C

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmBSllHX8L

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.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFD3zezozG

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN68RSOiCb
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl85zaJbPMw
