The immortal body is called Teevat

Chapter 158 The dust has settled

When Lorenzo became too excited, the Fontaine guards acted quickly, pressing his shoulders tightly as if to suppress his momentum.

Under this powerful pressure, Lorenzo was like a deflated balloon, losing all his strength and no longer able to utter those offensive words.

Lorenzo's silence made the people of Fontaine feel an inexplicable sense of loss, as if a wonderful show suddenly ended, leaving behind an empty silence.

They had originally been full of expectations for Lorenzo, hoping that he could bring them some answers or explanations, but now they can only watch him sink into depression in silence.

As for César, who was framed by Lorenzo, his importance to the people of Fontaine seemed to become less significant.

They hold a thought similar to "no fly bites an egg without cracks" in their hearts. If Cesar himself had no problems, how could Lorenzo say those words so excitedly?

In their opinion, there may be some unknown problems with Cesar, which makes them unwilling to easily believe that Cesar is perfect.

They are unwilling to believe that there are such perfect people in the world because they are well aware of their own imperfections.

With this kind of self-perception bias, they find it hard to believe that Cesar is flawless. This mentality is accompanied by a hint of jealousy, as well as the mentality of a person who enjoys watching the fun.

When Cesar saw Lorenzo gradually calm down, he let out a long sigh as if relieved, as if he had let out all the worries that had been pent up in his heart.

He said to Lorenzo earnestly: "Lorenzo, I have never done what you said. I just hope that you can constantly surpass yourself, become better and better, and eventually become a great magician who surpasses me."

However, Lorenzo did not buy into Cesar's words. His tone was full of sarcasm: "Come on, you can stand here and say anything you want to accuse and criticize me."

"Who can know what you really think? You are just using these few words to offset my loneliness and pain for the past ten years. What a bargain! This is probably the best deal in the world, right? Haha."

Lorenzo's words were like knives, piercing Cesar's heart, and he couldn't help but show a look of pain.

Lorenzo didn't mean to stop. "What you said was really harsh, but I don't think we will have a chance to meet again after this, Mr. Cesar."

Cesar seemed not to have heard Lorenzo's rebuttal. His eyes were firm but revealed a hint of helplessness, because he knew very well that Lorenzo would no longer believe anything he said.

However, if he did not tell Lorenzo these things, then this would become a knot in his life that he could not untie. This knot was like a heavy stone, pressing on his heart and making him breathless.

Because Cesar knew very well that after today's trial verdict, he, Lorenzo and Gemma would probably never have any contact with each other again.

They would take different paths, and he understood that according to Fontaine law, the crimes they had committed would carry a minimum sentence of ten years, or possibly life imprisonment.

Cesar knew that this was their last chance to meet. He hoped that no one would have any regrets or grudges. He firmly believed that time would prove everything, whether Lorenzo believed it or not.

Cesar paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then continued, "I plan to end my magic career after this high-altitude escape magic. After that, I will wholeheartedly prepare a magician's debut show for you."

.

“This will be a feast held just for you, a glorious moment to witness you step onto the magic stage.”

"Alas, it's also my fault. I have always been too demanding of you. I always expect you to do better and master more skills."

"I always hoped that one day you would surpass me. Now it seems that I was wrong, and very wrong." Cesar's voice was full of regret and self-blame.

After Cesar told the whole truth, Lorenzo looked at Cesar with empty and lifeless eyes, like a puppet without strings.

He has been with his teacher for more than ten years and knows him well. Since the teacher can say this, he is definitely not lying.

However, this news came too late! If Cesar had told him the news earlier, even just a week in advance, he would never have been on the same pirate ship as Gemma.

But why did he know the truth of all this only after the plan was completed? It was too late, and everything was irreversible.

Lorenzo's heart was filled with despair and pain. He seemed to be in a dark abyss, struggling helplessly.

He couldn't help but think of the little things he had experienced with his teacher. The teachings and expectations he had received had now become an unbearable burden. He felt regret for his ignorance and blindness, and sadness for the lost opportunities.

Perhaps at that time, he could have become Cesar's successor. After Cesar carefully created that stunning show for him, he would have gained unprecedented fame and fortune and eventually become a great and respected magician.

However, now everything has turned to ashes, vanished into thin air, and no longer exists. The only one left is Lorenzo, who was accused of killing his master. The great magician Lorenzo, who had a bright future, is dead.

Now, the only one left is the prisoner Lorenzo. When his name is mentioned in the magic world, people no longer think of his former talent and glory.

Rather, it was his ugly act of killing his master that made him a heartless beast.

Cesar felt exhausted physically and mentally. After saying these words, half of his strength seemed to be drained away. He fell to the ground powerlessly, closed his eyes tightly, and sighed continuously. Tears flashed in his eyes, and it was obvious that he could not accept this fact.

He thought to himself that if he had told Lorenzo the news earlier, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened.

However, it seemed that it was too late and irreversible. He could only regret silently in his heart and sigh painfully.

At the moment when Lorenzo fell silent, the discussion among the audience gradually died down. Navrette was keenly aware that the whole audience was gradually returning to silence.

His eyes slowly swept over everyone, and then he asked again: "Everyone here, does anyone have any objections to this trial?" His voice was calm and firm, but it seemed to contain an invisible power that made people listen.

There was anticipation in Villette's eyes. He hoped to hear more different voices and that this trial would get the most fair and reasonable result.
