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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcHmo5lh3c

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExDyYSdk6o

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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmBHo0NQGX
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.”518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMFUUsxYQk
“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!”518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC5WEVIYzf

“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?”518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpnG7wzxdT

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 –“518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzqMpeITXw
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6HxB2Bld9
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07h2DOGh9D

She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtCXU5rRj6

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhhZzLIgGH
“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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfuZIFzosq

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRKDUzgIcS

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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkgbLfpU4H

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN8hgtzuXe
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlbmEzopdI
