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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87hgpk4mEX

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BApF6VBDW

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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaxIyK8Gua
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.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4HqzyK1zs
“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!”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIehszCTczu

“Elizabeth I-“516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdCievSEld

“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?”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbdTGAGTVM

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 –“516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrdx8rRQfJ
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOkK2gcY2T
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXw7AwjAgz
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnfcWZ9ejo
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0C5N4ddW3

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78PgrXpChJ
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECCK8Dkj47

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Frm5y51QT

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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13qt41Yjws

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuVKrlKhAB
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSVUe4Qpql
