Free Web NovelChapter 351: Cari’s Rage
"If I don’t go now, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life."
Sarin immediately stepped in to stop him, clearly determined not to allow it, but Qiong Xing had expected that from the beginning.
That was precisely why he had turned to Katarina.
"Grandma... please."
"..... Sigh. Fine."
"Katarina!?"
"You stay here and watch over Lian and the others. Come on, let’s get moving." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Though she let out a long sigh, Katarina nodded in agreement.
Feeling somewhat pathetic, Qiong Xing allowed her to carry him on her back as she took him toward the castle.
He promised Lian and the others that he would definitely return. Then he entrusted the children to Sarin, whose expression made it clear he was far from convinced.
"You should hurry. If you’re too late, even if he is your child... he may have to be killed."
Fenrisúlfr’s words made it clear that Cari had to be stopped before he harmed anyone around him.
Please let them make it in time.
Cari was a kind child.
A very, very kind child.
No matter how many times Qiong Xing told him that he did not need to push himself so hard, he knew Cari had continued striving to become stronger.
He had always worked hard, insisting that he wanted to grow stronger so he could protect Mama and be useful to him.
The sight of him throwing himself into his training with such enthusiasm had always been adorable.
At the same time, Qiong Xing had often found himself wishing that the child would not be in such a hurry to grow up.
Cari was surely afraid of losing his family just as Qiong Xing once had.
More specifically, he was afraid of losing Qiong Xing, his mama.
Because he loved him so much, he did not want to be abandoned.
Because he loved him so much, he wanted to be useful.
If he was not useful, he would be thrown away.
Although he had stopped saying it as often recently, Qiong Xing always felt a pang of sadness whenever Cari used to ask, "Don’t you need Cari anymore?" whenever something happened.
The idea of abandoning Cari was impossible.
Qiong Xing had never even considered it.
He had always tried to ease that fear, telling him that he loved him and that they would always be together.
Only Cari knew how much those words had truly reached him, but recently Qiong Xing had felt relieved to see that uncertainty gradually disappearing from the child’s eyes.
And yet...
Knowing that man, he had undoubtedly said something about Qiong Xing or the family.
He truly was a worthless father.
Qiong Xing did not care whether that man lived or died, but he would never forgive anyone who laid a hand on his precious child.
"Fenrir. Where’s Albe?"
Hoping there might still be a way to stop him, Qiong Xing asked about Albe who was probably with Cari.
Apparently, Cari was so consumed by rage that he could no longer hear anyone’s voice.
While dealing with the man, they were likely struggling to stop Cari as well.
"Grandma... I’m sorry."
"For what? If you’re apologizing because you think you’ve caused trouble, then I don’t need that. If anything, rely on us more. We didn’t grow old for nothing. If something’s troubling you, we can at least offer a bit of advice."
Even though he had undoubtedly caused them endless worry and trouble, they never abandoned him and remained by his side.
"Thank you... really. I’m so happy that the two of you came."
"Of course we did. There’s no way we’d sit back and do nothing after hearing that our precious grandchild was in danger."
Qiong Xing was truly glad he had met them.
He still did not understand why they cared for him so much, but because of them, there were many things he had been able to accomplish and many times he had been saved.
"Once my injuries heal, would you like to go out with Lian and me? We can eat lots of different things in town and buy all sorts of things. I’d like to walk around town with you, Grandma."
"That sounds nice. Lian worked hard today, after all. We’ll have to get her a reward."
Katarina nodded happily at the suggestion.
Blood ties really were not everything.
Even if people shared blood, it meant nothing if their hearts were not connected.
Some parents hurt their children with thoughtless words despite being related by blood.
Others discarded them altogether as though they were unnecessary.
Blood alone was never enough.
On the other hand, there were also parents who cherished children as their own even without sharing blood. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
There were many different kinds of relationships, but Qiong Xing wanted to build the kind where they could smile and say they were happy, where they could tell each other, "We’re happy, aren’t we?"
Just like how he and Katarina could talk together about how much they were looking forward to the future.
Now he had to go.
He had to bring back his precious, precious child.
...
Unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable!
He would never forgive this man!
He hurt Mama.
He made Mama cry.
He insulted their papas.
He rejected his brother.
He hurt his precious family!!
"I won’t forgive you, I won’t forgive you, I won’t forgive you, I won’t forgive you, I won’t forgive you! I’ll never forgive you!!"
Cari could no longer control the thing raging inside him.
His entire body felt as though it were burning, and his vision was stained red with fury.
He vaguely felt that people around him were saying something, but he did not care.
The only thought in his mind was that he had to kill the man standing before him.
"I won’t forgive you, I won’t forgive you, I won’t forgive you, I won’t forgive you..."
He conjured blades of ice and aimed them at the man’s head.
The attacks were deflected as though they were insignificant.
Then he would simply create so many that they could not all be blocked.
