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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX5WnSOKjE

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexK7rkJUug

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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDhNbtIsqn
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.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pXRfyFQpQ
“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!”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYdZ5pUOk9

“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?”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuJDFytHKI

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 –“652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgkzDklo3f
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rfp73qvym
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYGPiJPrhE
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ACNVOYUDX
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzINIbpnuV

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zoAGzKz4M
“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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM4GEcCI00

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1tIpTSJ10

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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgWHn8yk9Z

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw52VDaawyG
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDNOQbtFGj
