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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZziFJbR5qj

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp6wdDqkCg

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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfYbCjupsX
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.”521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyVXe9tyHI
“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!”521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuUa536R11

“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?”521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhLr65XAt5

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 –“521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERykZfdYaA
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlC6Hxf7xn
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACbg17ejQh
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39y6ZNSkpI
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGRx5PH5yG

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufrMRHQR5V
“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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq4AmKLP5D

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq38OZsbLu5

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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8I8vVId7Y

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8yhFwaGqZ
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnXu7RKSqo
