Arrogance or?

Hmmm? Liam's frown deepened.

Clearly, the kid couldn't see this woman at all. His eyes were only fixated on the treasure and nothing else. He even scanned the hall from end to end more than once, but he still did not notice the woman.

Was this the prisoner the wyvern talked about?

Liam tested the water by trying to enter the hall one more time, but again, as soon as he took one step inside, he could feel the stifling pressure coming from the chained being.

This pressure was something far greater than that of the old elf. It was as if an ancient evil aura was seeping out of the woman, something very powerful and vile.

Just staring at her made his skin tingle with warning signs. He knew this was not going to end well. Both the kid and he might be in grave danger.

But this powerful being was inside a prison, so maybe they were safe?
