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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQQ4XO2pbO

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaq3oMYCBZ

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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL51a47nO3
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.”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWDBfHe6nV
“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!”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOglhyyJKj

“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?”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdTe5vw61X

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 –“520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXiiHjJNdm
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifiYsJBvAk
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXipeNOjXMq
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScpflQCEoc
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9CAjQMnTX

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1811lGCSoX
“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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6k8ZS4pFn

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7lJTZgvuC

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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYm3ydF8DZ

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAWY6sbgVO
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt62UmC0kL
