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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF0cqDKXWx

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPugbVnPOGi

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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LEVauhSSN
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.”395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmsa2cZk7S
“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!”395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6bGdsRDHC

“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?”395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIZinByKfp

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 –“395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6iznGzKBA
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eOCx4H0ON
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0a4hChhWU

She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWiYTIcSHe

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCThVL7cP5
“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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ2x2MorKN

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFVo2r0zLU

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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5G2X8aDMu

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFjEuDplae
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Ll9ZSFCB
