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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVOT97rrqe

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA0BZOcPno

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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1QkTXle4E
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.”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0ml1cX2jM
“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!”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW2xXKAGFp

“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?”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi087KNurL4

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 –“463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wH1IiI94r
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrQHA56mra
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXfWcjHmlR
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yqr1jOl1u
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZMzugmt5t

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPOxT41tFp
“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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GMZmHupmR

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgghHVhFe7

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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKluq7OsYOG

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyw4eP82y5
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlvc48iS5J
