Liam questioned whether or not his answers would affect his chances of joining the group.
The Zeniths could definitely tell if he lied or not… but being truthful worked against him.
In reality, Liam's intention for joining was just to reap the benefits that came with the Temple of Shadow.
He wanted to keep away from the public view and steadily grow his strength.
Even sacrificing plentiful resources that other Sects might provide in exchange for safety.
He didn't care about their goals and missions of vengeance.
Unless of course, his own revenge against the Royce family, which he wholeheartedly intended to carry out.
In the end, truth was the only option.
Something told him an old man like Verium valued honesty over strength, and a low-ranking foreigner lying to his face would just be disrespectful.
