The second-order effects were nothing bad, far from it. The same went for Liam's mistake. After all, his kindness had been to blame there.
Liam knew that his ability to produce venom that grew with him was among his greatest advantages. It was definitely the greatest when it came to his profession as a poison master since it gave him constant access to the best ingredient he could weaponize.
