"Can I make it short?"
Looking at the gun pointed at him, Lorenzo seemed somewhat accustomed to it, perhaps because he had been pointed at by the Shrike so many times.
"That train can only stay for fifteen minutes. After unloading, it must leave. I have to go with it, otherwise those guards will catch me sooner or later."
Before coming here, Lorenzo had made all the preparations, exactly as he wanted.
It stands to reason that it is extremely risky for Lorenzo to come here in person, but for his own purpose, he must confirm Eve's identity with his own eyes. Now it seems that everything is worth it.
"Wouldn't it be better if I took you to Suarlan Hall, and the sheriff would believe everything I said."
Lorenzo was the source of the riot that day. This detective was as ruthless as a veteran.
"Wouldn't that be very boring?"
Lorenzo didn't care about these things. He was a very cautious man. When he arrived here, he was fully prepared.
"I'm a detective, Miss Eve. Wouldn't it be more to your liking to solve a case with a lot of connections than to solve a suspect whose truth or falsehood is unknown?"
Staring into the detective's eyes, Eve was thinking. She had thought a lot. From the moment she met Lorenzo, this detective had a calm sense of being in control of everything. He was frightening, but also trustworthy.
"I'll give you five minutes, Detective."
Eve put away her gun and looked to the other side, pacing on the spot. Lorenzo was amused to see her cooperating so well. He put down the ladder and pretended to trim the branches.
From afar, the Phoenix princess was admiring the scenery on the Golden Road. The only thing that caught her eye was a gardener working beside her.
"Eve Phoenix, you are of noble birth. As long as your father agrees, you will become the next noble Phoenix Duchess. Not to mention the Suyalan Hall, even the Royal Guards are not worthy of you. But you secretly became a detective."
As he trimmed the branches, Lorenzo began to narrate based on his own image of Eve in his mind.
"Are you doing this for your father? Or for the honor of the Phoenix family... Yes, your family's deeds run through the entire Glorious War. The Hall of Honor in the Platinum Palace is full of portraits of your ancestors. You grew up listening to their legends, and you also want to be like them, right?"
"What on earth do you want to say?"
Eve looked a little unhappy. She also discovered the annoying thing about Lorenzo. His eyes were too sharp, so sharp that he could easily see through a person. Everything was transparent under his gaze.
Everyone is made up of labeled fragments. Putting them together, the deflected light can form a person's life.
Lorenzo continued.
"I think we can work together, Miss Eve."
"The Glorious War is over. After we drove the Gaulnaro back to the White Tide Strait forever, there is no battlefield where you can gain the same merits as your ancestors. Your only way out is the Suyalan Hall, but now the Suyalan Hall has given you a long vacation."
The gold of fallen leaves is reflected in the gray-blue eyes.
"Your career is about to end before it even begins, but I can bring you a turnaround, as long as we work together."
