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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH86xNBe1q

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxVEVprZoX

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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T2o2D9G7l
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.”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuKrX6Mgz9
“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!”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7t5KgXnTw

“Elizabeth I-“432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V4WZmJ5zz

“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?”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iJv48UfrR
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqBLEFLgwD
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 –“432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4OtR2FtDe
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQnUhh8Yjm
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8fvWVoK9U
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk1CdEh4zL
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvW8Lfh4rg

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJpUT05Jk5
“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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMosqD89X5F

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERxIbTvSe2

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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtZBY82c1w

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Ssrt8n0J
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFiGw37hVP
