Walter leaned back in his chair, letting the name "Evan" settle in the air between them. Elyon's sharp gaze flickered with shock, though he quickly masked it thoughtfully. For a man who had seen nearly everything, the mention of Evan had clearly struck a chord.
Elyon leaned forward slightly, intrigued. "Interesting. What kind of developments?"
Walter didn't elaborate immediately, letting the weight of his words settle. Instead, he took a seat across from Elyon and studied him.
"He's clever," Walter said after a pause. "Ambitious. The kind of man who could either create something extraordinary or burn the world trying."
Elyon nodded slowly, absorbing the information while pretending to be unaware. "Sounds like someone to keep a close eye on."
