The immortal body is called Teevat

Chapter 156: Crazy Lorenzo

If this story could have a happy ending, perhaps it would be that the thief Diao, who had been rampant in Fontaine for decades, would retire and the great magician Cesar would travel around the world after performing this high-altitude escape magic.

The identity of the Phantom Thief Diao will also become an unsolved mystery in the history of Fontaine. Perhaps many detective novelists will write stories about this in the future.

But unfortunately, nothing came of it. The fact that Gemma teamed up with Cesar's apprentice and Lorenzo to murder Cesar has now been exposed to the public.

They were destined to be despised by the people of Fontaine. Everyone present was shocked by the truth and took a deep breath, saying that they had made an indelible contribution to global warming.

The people of Fontaine did not expect that today's plot would have so many twists and turns and so many exciting things. Even the water goddess Funina, who was high up on the stage, apparently made the right judgment for the first time.

Not only did she refute the false evidence provided by Jamal, but she also cleared Wu Cheng's name, which made her a big splash.

Compared to the embarrassment of countless previous trials, today's trial really allowed Funina to vent her anger.

Meanwhile, reporters from the Steam Bird Newspaper picked up their pens and began to write articles. They had already realized that once this explosive news was published, it would surely push the Steam Bird Newspaper to a new sales record.

No matter who could have imagined that the most trustworthy person who had been with him day and night for more than ten years would have the intention to murder him.

The people of Fontaine originally thought that such a bloody plot would only appear in detective novels, but they did not expect to see it in reality today.

Perhaps we will see stories with similar themes in the near future. After all, this is definitely a very good inspiration for detective novelists.

There are actually many people that Gemma framed, but what puzzles people is why she chose Cesar, who was close to her?

Gama's subsequent narration also dispelled everyone's doubts. According to her own account, it was because Cesar seemed to have discovered something was wrong with her a few years ago.

It was only when Cesar asked her that she realized that Cesar might have had some understanding of his identity as the Phantom Thief Marten, and she absolutely could not allow such an unstable factor to be around him.

Walking on the edge of law and crime, he knew early on that human heart is the most terrifying thing and the most untrustworthy thing.

She couldn't guarantee that Cesar would live in harmony with him all his life, and she was even willing to keep the secret for him. So in the end, Cesar became Gemma's top choice when it came to taking the blame.

After all, one, it can eliminate the potential threat to himself, and two, it can instantly clear his name. No matter how you look at it, Cesar is the most suitable candidate.

As for the emotions between them, Gemma does have them, but these emotions are not enough to move him to give up letting Cesar die and take the blame for himself.

Cesar became even more emotional after listening to Gemma's so-called self-narration. He never believed that his relationship with Gemma was fake.

He could not accept that Gemma was with him just to escape punishment under Fontaine law and was merely using him.

He pointed at Jia Ma with a trembling finger and asked, "Why? Why? Jia Ma! Is it true that our ten years together were all fake? Why? Why did you lie to me like this?"

Gemma looked at Cesar's extremely excited expression but could not see a trace of sadness. Instead, she seemed a little calm and said to the excited Sel: "No, never. For a vicious thief like me, emotions are the most useless thing."

"Perhaps you find this unbelievable, right? But how can you expect a criminal with more than ten years of experience to have feelings? Feelings are the most fragile thing and can hardly stand the test. I don't want to take the risk."

After Gemma finished saying these words, she looked at Cesar expressionlessly. The words she just said were just like a daily conversation without any fluctuations.

Cesar had hoped that Gemma would admit to him that their feelings were once real, which would at least give Cesar some psychological comfort.

But now Gemma's reaction disappointed Cesar. He didn't expect that decades of getting along with Gemma could not move Gemma's cold heart. Or Gemma's heart had been completely frozen and dead since the day he became the Phantom Thief Marten. He no longer believed in anyone's words.

Cesar turned his eyes to Lorenzo next to him. Compared with his anger and confusion towards Garner, he felt puzzled and aggrieved that Lorenzo tried to kill him.

If Gemma killed him in order to put all the crimes he had committed on himself, then what reason did Lorenzo have to join Gemma to do such a thing? Cesar knew Lorenzo, although he was a little impatient and eager for quick success.

However, he is very talented and may become a great magician in the future. I really can't understand why his apprentice would choose such a path.

Cesar took a few deep breaths and pointed at Lorenzo and asked calmly, "Lorenzo, you are obviously a very talented genius. You will definitely become a great magician in the future. Why do you want to ruin your bright future?"

Lorenzo was already emotionally broken by all the truths Gemma had just stated. He knew that he was finished. Even if he was not involved in the core of the matter, he would not be able to clear himself of the crime.

He had not expected that things would develop as they did today, and he had not expected that Jama, who had more criminal experience than him, would be the first to give in and tell everything that had happened and the results.

After Cesar's soul-searching, countless panic and regrets intertwined at this moment and evolved into anger towards Cesar.

He thought to himself, if Cesar hadn't always forbidden him to perform on stage, always made him his magic assistant, always suppressed him, and not allowed him to perform magic on stage for the audience, how could he have ended up like this today?

So Lorenzo shouted in front of everyone: "Why do you say a few words? Is this the end of such insignificant words? Do you think what you said is fair?"

After hearing what Lorenzo said, Cesar fell silent. He was so silent that he didn't want to talk anymore. Did Lorenzo, whom he had placed high hopes on, always think this way?

Lorenzo saw that Cesar didn't say anything and thought it was Serge who continued to angrily retort to Cesar: "Why don't you let me play? I'm obviously talented."

"You once said that I was a rare talent among magicians, but what have you done?"

"What you did was that every time I applied to perform magic for the audience, you rejected me righteously, saying that I was not skilled enough to perform. But is the truth really as you said, Cesar? My teacher!"

Cesar replied to Lorenzo righteously: "That's the fact. Although your talent can be said to be very high, you can be called a genius."

"But magic is an art that walks the line between truth and falsehood, and it cannot tolerate the slightest flaw. As your teacher, I should be more responsible for you."

"Responsible, what are you responsible for? If you are responsible, why don't you give me the opportunity to perform on stage?"

Cesar didn't know how to explain this problem and could only remain silent. Perhaps it was his mistake that he had not allowed his apprentice Lorenzo to perform on stage for more than ten years.

Flowers grown in a greenhouse will eventually have to face wind and rain, and your approach may be counterproductive.
