Chapter 64: The Hunter’s Smile
Adam moved quietly through the mall, his sharp senses focused on the directions Sona had given him.
His steps were deliberate, measured, and unassuming, blending seamlessly into the crowd around him.
The second floor of the mall was bustling with activity—families meandering between stores, couples window-shopping, and groups of teenagers laughing and chatting.
Adam’s calm demeanor belied the tension simmering within him as he approached the designated spot.
A Jewelry Shop, Crowded and Bright
Adam’s eyes landed on a bustling jewelry store ahead.
Its polished glass displays sparkled under the bright lights, attracting a steady stream of customers.
Couples admired necklaces and rings with gleaming eyes, while young women debated between styles, their voices rising in excited chatter.
The air smelled faintly of metal polish and perfume. Adam slowed his pace, pretending to browse, his sharp eyes scanning the scene.
Perched on his shoulder, Sona, the tiny golden psychic spirit with a sharp mind and an even sharper tongue, fluffed her skin and observed the store intently.
Her small size allowed her to remain inconspicuous amidst the crowd.
