Nanny For Young Master's
Genius 39 - Consequences

The figure of the man he saw was standing in front of him.

"Are you not aware that what happened to your son is your own doing."

"What do you mean?!" Karl frowned. He did not understand the man's words at all.

"Did you forget what I said when we first met?"

"Huh?"

"There are always consequences for every decision you make."

"W-what?" Karl almost fell to hear his words.

"Yes. You must understand what I'm saying, right?"

"No! It can't be!" Karl's body trembled violently.

He looked at both of his palms. "W-what have I done?"

Tears were pouring down both of her cheeks.

"Every food you touch, you take, or you give it to someone else with your own hands will leave little trace of the aura of your power. It will react immediately, whether it has power or not. That power will turn into poison which then kills them slowly…"

"…It will never leave a trace, and no one will ever know how long the torture will last." The man smelled a smile.

Everything that happened today really felt like entertainment to him. Funny, and really tickling. Because a father unknowingly administered poison to his own son.

"You.." Karl clenched his hand. He ran up to the man and grabbed his shoulders tightly.

"It's not that easy."

"What?!"

"Didn't I ever explain it? That power will forever be in your body and can never be lost once you contract with me. You can't undo it, and you can't get away from me!"

"Then give me the antidote! I can't let my son be like this. I don't want to lose him! I don't want to lose the most valuable person in my life again?!" Karl was clutching his shoulder harder.

Instead of being in pain, the man chuckled at his words.

"Hahaha, you're really funny. For years you threw it away because you've always felt less strong looking at your own son. You said he always made you think of him…"

"…But now...in just one meeting, you immediately consider the little trash you throw away as valuable? You're so naive." The man chuckled amusedly in response to Karl's sentence.

"Shut up!" snapped Karl. The man lowered his head with tears continuously flowing down from his eye sockets.

"Over this time, I didn't notice it. All this time I was too stupid to think of him as the one who brought bad luck. Because every time I look at her, every time I see her face…"

"…But today, there's one thing I just realized. I just realized that he was the most precious treasure of my life. He's the only one I have. Signs and traces that Lynn gave all her love to me." Karl felt his chest tight. His heart felt like it was being torn apart, and his head started to hurt.

"Arghh.." Karl grimaced while holding his head. Pulling his own hair with all his might.

"Agreement is a covenant. The regret that's at the end is the risk that you'll have to take on the decision you've made, Karl…"

Bruk!

Karl's body collapsed and fell on the floor.
