A malicious glint flashed in Liam's eyes, contorting his features into a twisted expression.
No, it wouldn't be good to kill him just yet. The resulting soul minion might not be as strong.
Happiness was a good emotion, but personally, he had seen better results so far when a person died with unfulfilled regrets. So he paused his actions and sneered at his self-proclaimed rival.
