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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPIDGnFhfUM

“James.” A broken voice sounded in the background. “James please.”1005Please respect copyright.PENANAp34iqJ8d4T

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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANASzmFat7TeX
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.”1005Please respect copyright.PENANAAiEtKz7x9A
“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!”1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfaX2elKq6l

“Elizabeth I-“1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVRz09pwYIA

“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?”1005Please respect copyright.PENANARbIdRY3LEw
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAuIGXse4V2P
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 –“1005Please respect copyright.PENANAmqg24FvW2X
1005Please respect copyright.PENANArTi56NNvbd
“Ah ah .” James shook his head. “The ribbon is old news; I’ve long since found substitutes for it.”1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWOljQSD76b
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2lyvXSSc6
She didn’t understand. “Then what is it you want?”1005Please respect copyright.PENANABeSwOONvBh

His icy-blue eyes stared straight into hers “... The key to the Forbidden realm.”1005Please respect copyright.PENANApUu9zNAtNW
“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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAafejdTuVnc

“No!” Elizabeth clenched her fist. “I can give you anything else, but not that!”1005Please respect copyright.PENANAdJe2z8KZ2m

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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANALbfdNWtPkG

Elizabeth sucked in her breath while the two men behind her fidgeted, apparently distressed. “James, think about this. We can fix this. Can we –“1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPf6ZM0P6Lu
“Elizabeth.” James didn’t look up, but he knew she was listening. 1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFzOTYsx9v5
