That it was watching him.
The golden bug's wings fluttered once.
A faint golden glow pulsed from its body, spreading through the air.
And in that moment—
Liam felt something.
A strange, fleeting presence.
A feeling that—
For just a split second—
He was standing before something far greater than himself.
His breath hitched.
Then, just as quickly as it came, the feeling disappeared.
The room was silent.
No one else seemed to notice anything unusual.
Lela and Cynthia were still lost in admiration.
Emma simply stroked the bug's back gently, a soft smile on her lips.
Liam, however, couldn't ignore what had just happened.
He exhaled slowly, calming himself.
'…I need to be careful with this one.' He mumbled inwardly.
He now understood why Lilith said Emma was powerful.
The bug might appear cute and harmless, but it was far more dangerous than that.
