Chapter 164: Chapter164-Walter’s Identity

Taylor’s eyes were filled with intense shock.

If it had just been a coincidence with the name, she might not have thought much of it, but everything about this person radiated elegance and nobility.

Not to mention the faint, divine-like aura emanating from her, which no ordinary elf could possess!

Elarielle nodded gently.

“It’s just an empty title.”

Walter immediately became tense.

As expected, Taylor turned to him, her gaze filled with curiosity.

“Walter, is there something you haven’t told me?”

Walter hurriedly waved his hands, speaking sincerely.

“Taylor, I swear by the blood of the Shadow race, I’ve told you no lies!”

He hadn’t lied; he truly had found a position in Dalton.

Although the authority of this position far exceeded normal boundaries.

After a moment, the three of them sat down in a quiet tea room.

“…So you’re saying that after falling into the Forgotten Ravine, not only did you survive, but you also gained even greater strength?”

Taylor asked, unable to hide her astonishment.

Walter nodded, explaining.

“I carry the blood of the Void Shadow, but at the time, I hadn’t awakened it, so I didn’t even know.”

“Taylor, I originally planned to fully master my power there before coming to find you, but… I never expected to encounter someone who would change the course of my life—Leo!”

Since the moment Taylor had been forced into a corner, Walter realized that only absolute power could break all shackles.

So, when Leo extended an olive branch, he took it without hesitation.

However, when he finally had enough strength to protect everything, it seemed he had lost the very person he wanted to protect.

And now, fate had given him a great surprise!

Taylor had crossed countless Starseas to come to him!

“Taylor,”

Walter took her hand again, his gaze intense.

“Will you give me a chance to protect you?”

Taylor smiled, her smile like sunshine breaking through the clouds.

“You think I crossed countless universes just for nothing?”

Walter’s joy exploded in his chest, and he could no longer contain himself. He reached out and pulled Taylor into a tight embrace.

Elarielle, sitting quietly beside them, picked up her teacup and remained silent.

She was starting to regret coming.

Born of noble lineage, she had rarely thought about matters of love. After all, the birth of the elven king did not rely on unions but was cultivated by the twin Sacred Trees of Sun and Moon.

Additionally, her complex journey had left her with little thought about such matters of affection.

She gently set her teacup down with a crisp sound.

The couple finally realized they had an observer, and hurriedly separated.

Taylor’s cheeks were flushed, while Walter wore a smile tinged with both pride and apology.

“Lady Elarielle, do you have any advice?”

Elarielle responded with a calm smile, teasing them.

“Advice? Have you forgotten the responsibility you bear?”

“Or have you decided to relinquish that heavy duty? If that’s the case, when president returns, I will report it to him.”

Her words were like a cold splash of water, instantly snapping Walter back to reality.

Damn it!

He had nearly forgotten such an important matter!

He remembered that this was the critical period for Dalton’s external expansion, and there were probably countless tasks and intelligence to deal with every day.

Although he had entrusted his subordinates to handle things, many decisions could only be made by him as the head of the organization!

“Has there been any trouble on that front?”

He asked urgently.

Elarielle scoffed, not answering.

There hadn’t been any major issues, but everyone was waiting for Hat to provide crucial intelligence.

This organization had been directly entrusted to Walter by Leo, operating independently from other systems, and they had no right to interfere.

“Walter, what exactly is your position in Dalton?”

Taylor, who had been quietly listening, asked softly.

By now, she understood that Walter’s position was certainly not ordinary!

But out of curiosity about Walter, she still wanted to learn more.

Walter looked troubled.

His identity was top secret, and it wasn’t something he could reveal here.

“Taylor, I…”

“What’s wrong?”

Taylor asked in confusion.

Walter exchanged a glance with Elarielle and made a decision.

“I’ll take you to a place, and you’ll understand.”

Soon, they led Taylor to Dalton’s teleportation hub.

“Greetings, Lady Elarielle!”

The guards respectfully saluted.

Elarielle nodded slightly.

“Open the portal.”

Taylor stared in shock at the massive, powerful energy swirling around the teleportation gate as she followed Walter into it.

Buzz—!

The surroundings changed drastically.

They had entered the new Dalton in the Alpha Starfield.

Faced with the completely unfamiliar environment, Taylor felt a bit dazed.

She had barely learned much about the Dalton in the main continent, and now she had arrived at an even more magnificent and higher-level place!

“Walter, is this…?”

“Yes, this is the new Dalton,”

Walter smiled and explained, “Welcome.”

At that moment, a figure clad in silver-winged commander armor appeared in front of them, dropping to one knee with utmost respect.

“Lord Walter, Lady Elarielle, Vice president is waiting for you in the council hall.”

Feeling the overwhelming pressure from the guard, Taylor’s heart trembled.

“Understood.”

Walter responded indifferently, then turned to look at Taylor, who was still in shock. His tone softened.

“Taylor, let’s go.”

Somewhat disoriented, Taylor was led by Walter to the towering governing center in the heart of the city.

As they walked, what she saw and heard gradually numbed her senses.

She had originally thought that the Dalton in the main continent was a miracle, but now she realized that this place was the true core of the divine!

She glanced at Walter, who walked beside her with steady composure and innate authority, and suddenly realized.

The young man who had once been on the brink of death had already grown into a towering giant capable of shaking the very stars!

Walter noticed her gaze and gave her a reassuring smile, as if to say, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Taylor smiled as well, feeling an incredible sense of calm.

This man was worth her trust for the rest of her life.

At that moment, Reize stepped out from behind a distant pillar.

Seeing Taylor beside Walter, he was momentarily surprised, but quickly returned to his usual calm.

“Walter, you finally decided to come back.”

Reize’s tone was neutral, “Your vacation was really long.”

Walter wore an apologetic smile, chuckling awkwardly.

“Sorry, Reize, I had some personal matters to take care of.”

“Taylor, this is Reize, the commander of Dalton Guardians, president’s most trusted right hand.”

Walter introduced him.

Taylor’s heart stirred again.

The name of president Leo Grey resounded across many planes, founding Dalton, driving away calamity, and bridging dimensional channels…

As someone from the Videro Dimension, she was all too familiar with him.

And the person before her was someone that legendary figure trusted!
