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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jdsNdKc7s

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tx3DViBHm

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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiKU7OueyL
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.”587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqwJxrE8N6
“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!”587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM1OKAbCpe

“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?”587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOmZFx1Y2E

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 –“587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pRdURguuJ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCoDlt50Vp
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn228QA8UR

She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYuZwdz16Q

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo1wWu5RDU
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT0pKH2jvB

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQtF6YWITr

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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS23d1G8Bje

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceMkcHaXl8
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0HDQcRVOJ
