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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlHyg8j6J8

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1exXvvVkPH

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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkc3RuAC0G
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.”634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSv5YGuKsj
“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!”634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRVmCjf7qs

“Elizabeth I-“634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpWqRbHMbq

“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?”634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FUOk23IfD

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 –“634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMujMQuqjV
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVKu1kCLIZ
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxaL3IKVdN
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9NgM2kXYq
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1a2LidP3p

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttuLNExRea
“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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcaePO7xzj

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwROMlvUun

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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY6kc3oRxl

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NrTToTQT1
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oAON6CB91
