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.259Please respect copyright.PENANAraGjaddhau

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”259Please respect copyright.PENANA7vsYpgDTZd

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.259Please respect copyright.PENANAtdl8v6ouQj
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.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAJ709TL5GaK
“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!”259Please respect copyright.PENANAJkreJPdiw7

“Elizabeth I-“259Please respect copyright.PENANAuI4QNscmiJ

“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?”259Please respect copyright.PENANAi4WcPVQk8g
259Please respect copyright.PENANACiF7T9nsxq
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 –“259Please respect copyright.PENANA4MG3zg2ynH
259Please respect copyright.PENANAvrlA08Y2nu
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAsFJpPLlLDh
259Please respect copyright.PENANAJqJazOEqOL
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”259Please respect copyright.PENANAaI3cZQFz51

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”259Please respect copyright.PENANAifL2znNmxO
“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.259Please respect copyright.PENANAdKYvWZfolJ
259Please respect copyright.PENANA4HIqzRItzZ
“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”259Please respect copyright.PENANA4ejDQ7R2rp

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.259Please respect copyright.PENANAH7wFUixyGI

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“259Please respect copyright.PENANAIyt7Yl0PPg
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 259Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3zGPyIOMU
