Bughhhhh

Angrily Karl punched the steering wheel of the car as soon as his men reported about the valuable assets that had been sold by the grandmother. Murkas, that's for sure. Since the beginning, Karl has been targeting these assets. Because from what Karl knows the asset is the most loved by the grandmother. I don't know why, Karl doesn't know. What is clear is that he is really angry because he failed to have it.

“You're a real jerk, Liang Zhu. How dare you sell that place. Don't you know that there's some relics from your dynasty, huh! Stupid jerk. If all the assets there are mine, my wealth can exceed the wealth that the Ma family has. Arggghhhh, kep*rat!” amuk Karl while continuing to punch the steering wheel of the car.

Fed up, Karl rushed out and stepped into his laboratory. He needed this place to vent his burning emotions. However, just as Karl was about to insert a fingerprint to open the steel gate that protected the most important room where Karl kept the painting of general Liang Zhu, his body was made stiff by the sound of someone. He immediately turned to face behind to make sure that his guess was not wrong.

“Karl!”

Liona smiled. He then walked over to his granddaughter who looked shocked as she turned to face him. “You just got home, son?”

“N-Grandmother?” Karl stammered. The tail of his eyes then glanced towards the back of the grandmother where all of his men were sitting on the floor with mutants standing beside them brandishing weapons. Instantly his teeth were grinding. “What the hell is this, Grandma? Why did Grandma come here and take all my men hostage? What is Grandma's goal?”

“Do not get angry first. Let's sit down and talk about this matter with a cool head. Okay?” liona replied patiently persuading Karl. He was affectionately about to grab Karl's hand, but was brushed aside. This rejection momentarily made Liona's chest feel tight, her heart was sad and also felt guilty. Undeterred, Liona again tried to grab Karl's hand. And this time it worked, Karl just kept quiet. “Karl, are you angry that Grandma did the charity bazaar?”

“Has nothing to do with me. All assets belong to Grandma, I have no right to comment,” said Karl coldly. He then grinned. “Nek, I know the purpose of Grandma coming here is not to discuss this. What was? Just say!”

Liona's gaze scolded. He then looked towards the secret room that was locked with a special fingerprint. In fact, Liona could have forced her way into the room, but somehow her heart told her not to. Be she waiting for Karl to take her in.

“Can we talk in that room alone, Karl? There are some things Grandma wants to say, and that's all you can hear. Can?”

“Log in there? Grandma sure?"

Clik.

Door opens. And the scene that Liona first saw was a painting of her as General Liang Zhu. Nervous, of course not. Liona had guessed that Karl must have had this painting given that his granddaughter had an over-the-top ability to see into the past. Smiling wryly, Liona stepped slowly towards the painting. He then stroked it, pervading how the woman in this painting had to die after witnessing such a heartbreaking event. Liang Wei, his sister. Those painful memories without feeling made Liona's tears drip out.

“Sorry,”

Karl's forehead shriveled. Then he smiled cunningly. “Oh, so Grandma has realized who is the person in the painting? Hows it? Is Grandma feeling happy? Definitely happy. Yes ‘kan? Grandma was able to reminisce with a human slaughter general named Liang Zhu. I'm right, aren't I?”

“You're right, but Grandma's not entirely at fault. At that time Grandma was only burdened with duties, Grandma bore a great responsibility where Grandma was asked to maintain the prosperity of the people who lived in the Ming Dynasty. It's not easy, Karl. If she could choose, Grandma would not want to live with such responsibilities. Grandma would definitely prefer to live as a commoner so that Grandma's grandchildren would not suffer. Grandma is sorry, Grandma is so sorry!”

After saying such a thing Liona turned to face behind. Unexpectedly, for the first time Liona sat down to beg for mercy on others. And this he did in front of his own grandson.

“So much guilt did Grandma carry after knowing that you were suffering from bad karma for what Grandma had done in the past, Karl. Grandma ... Grandma felt very sinful. Grandma's sorry, Karl. Hikssss,” Liona said as she tearfully. “When Grandma first found out that you were the one born with that bad karma curse, Grandma felt that Grandma's world was becoming very dark. Grandma really did not expect all the things that Grandma had done would have an impact like this. Please forgive Grandma for making your life suffer. Grandma accidentally.”

Karl silently stood where he stood. She ... she did not think that the grandmother had found out who she was. Karl did not know what to react to now. Should he feel happy or even angry because his secret has been known by others. He was dazed for a moment.

“Hikss, Charles. Please don't shut up like this, baby. Tell Grandma what should Grandma do to make amends? Grandma is really sorry for you. Grandma really has no intention to torment your life to this extent. Speak, Karl. Tell me what Grandma should do now. Yes?” liona asked Karl to open his voice. His chest hurt looking at him who just stood still without saying anything.

From inside a car, Greg who was listening to the conversation between his wife and granddaughter unceasingly sighed. Liona's arrival to Karl's laboratory was a suggestion from Greg. He thought that if they met and spoke with four eyes, then this misunderstanding could be resolved well. However, it seems that Greg's plan will end because Karl is still not willing to respond to the apology filed by Liona. And honestly this made Greg feel worried. He was afraid that Karl Khilaf would do something bad to his wife. That could happen, right?

“Liang Zhu, do you think your apology can treat the misery I have felt all along?” karl asked without hesitation to call his grandmother Liang Zhu. He then looked cynically at the grandmother who was still standing before him. “Do you think that with me forgiving you it can treat the wounds that I have felt so far? You .. You and Dad always boast about Bern and Flowrence in front of everyone. No one thought whether I would be hurt or not to see your behavior. Okay, at first I didn't intend to kill all of you, especially you, Bern and Flowrence. But your unfair behavior made me change my mind. I turned Bern into someone who was very greedy for wealth and power. After that I will make all of you expel Bern from the Ma family, even if you can kill him all. While Flow, he will die soon after that. Trash like I'm not gonna let it live. And lastly, it's you. You must die after the spirits you killed before. Know you. Huh?!”

With a fiery fury, Karl strangled his grandmother's neck very strongly. Her eyes turned red, signifying how much she hated her current state.

Karl, if killing Grandma makes you feel calm, then do it. You deserve to kill Grandma. Grandma would gladly accept it. Grandma loves you so much, Karl. Very much love you. You're Grandma's pride. Please forgive this old woman who accidentally caused you to suffer. Please forgive Grandma. Grandma loves you.
