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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8sfzSl5ZT

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtHouusSyB

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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlgafy7W5M
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.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxMV41r7ki
“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!”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cvg46FRVx

“Elizabeth I-“676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8TSmDfzAX

“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?”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXpbE4Geps

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 –“676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5KHyiRTDP
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvxzWjOqLE
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKsabh0zDd

She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpnvB2XQUi

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiksG7rpOgu
“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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRqynf65uE

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid4KlTZM1O

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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk42tzsIBK

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtNtkng87d
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R0LKmSJ7d
