After Herbert and Lydia leave, a person appeared from a shadow and looked solemn to direction that Herbert went.After hesitating, he pressed a strange device and an old man appeared in the form of hologram.
"Oh, what's up Shadow, there is somebody that you don't have confidence to take down?" the old man looked carefree and asked to Shadow.
"I have confidence but he gives me a strange sensation" Shadow frowned but replied.
"Is there really someone in this poor region that could threat you?" the old man is surprise he is just joking now, he didn't expect that someone so powerful is killing the lords of their cities.Probably others giants are involved, a person out of the giants won't do something so dumb, their own resources are buyed from the giants, nobody could efficiently Tier up just relying in yourself.
"I said that I have confidence, just want guarantee that he wouldn't escape." Shadow defended himself.
"I know, I know, just follow him and soon I will be there." the old man replied and turned off the device.
Shadow followed Herbert and Lydia for hundreds of miles, but suddenly Herbert stopped and looked behind himself, Shadow heart jumped and he tried hide more deeply in the shadows.
"It's no use, I know where you are." Herbert said coldly.
"I sensed right, you're really is a Tier 1." Shadow appeared and Lydia have a big surprise, the young master gave her a lot of resources because he said that he didn't need that, so she was a Tier 3 person but don't sensed this guy.
"No, I'm still on Tier 2, if I'm in Tier 1 I won't need just cut those shit lords, your family who has pride of being one of the 12 giants will be destroyed too." Herbert said plainly.
"Hahaha, did you think having a Tier 1 level would be qualified to go against my family?Even a dream has limits, you didn't know nothing, but it's a pity that I have to kill a genius like you, few people can sense me in the Tier 2." Shadow who is a serious person couldn't help himself and mock Herbert because he thinks that can face one of the giants.
Herbert raised his eyebrows, even for himself is a little difficult to sense that guy, he don't think that other people in Tier 2 can too.
While they are talking, Lydia perceived something off and said "Young master, he is an assassin and is having a conversation with us, I think he is stalling time!"
"Too late" an old man appeared in front of them.
Even Herbert looked serious, he already killed a Tier 1 guy but it is difficult, and each of these guys looked more powerful than the other he killed.
While he is thinking the two man attacked the same time and after half hour of fighting the old man appeared without a arm, but his other hand is around the neck of Lydia.
Lydia don't even resisted, she tried escape during the battle but they would fight whenever she go, she is smart so understand that they are after her to threaten Herbert.
When the old man catched Lydia, Herbert stopped moving and received a attack of the Shadow, he didn't care about the wound and just looked furiously to the old man.
"Don't look at like that, you're really powerful but now is injured and with the energy more than halved,I'm shamed of myself doing this but our order is to kill you, so we won't care about the means." the old man sighed.
"I don't care a shit of you talked, just let her go and I will do everything you want." Herbert said with gritted teeth, he knows that they won't let her go or will kill her later, but she is his only family.
"So you understand your pos-" before he finished speaking, Lydia burned all of her energy in one go, even her life and she blow up herself like a atomic bomb.
The old man is sent flying out and Shadow went to catch him, even his bones are exposed but his still alive.
Herbert looked silly at the explosion, then his eyes got red and he screamed like crazy "LYDIA, YOUR IDIOT, I CAN HANDLE THIS, I DON'T NEED YOUR INTERVENTION!!!"
But everything already happened so he could only kill these guys in the most brutal way to relieve his fury, when he planned attack they, a voice appeared in his head.
"Young master, please leave, with the explosion more enemies will come and you will fall here, and I won't be there anymore to stop yours actions so don't act without being sure about that...and live, it's okay to revenge but to destroy one of the giants will need decades or even centuries, even the young master being the unparalleled genius in my view, so you don't need live alone without love or friends all this time." this is the last time Herbert heard that sweet voice who is always preoccupied with him.
The voice made him calm down and he looked to the Shadow and the old man like wanting know their faces and never forget, so he drove in the floor and used a power of soil to travel through the earth.
After a while, a elegant man arrived in the battlefield, Shadow and the old man trembled after seeing the man.
"Where they go?" he asked calmly without even looking to they.
"One escaped and another blew herself up." Shadow rapidly answered.
"So whatever, they learned the lesson, if he want came again it's his end." the man said lightly and went away.
"What we do?" Shadow asked the old man, they knew the strength of Herbert and he has potential to become a immortal, even a immortal won't shake the family, but a immortal could kill them countless times in a instant.
"What we can, just go home and make reasons to not leave the family territory, one day he won't resist and will try to kill us but the seniors in the family will kill him in a moment, so we will be free from his revenge." the old man analyzed the situation and replied.
Even the old man looking old he can live more 200 years, losing some decades in isolation won't hurt, he maybe could even being promoted to Tier 0 and his lifespan would increase tremendously, a Tier 1 person could live around 1.000 years, so the old man that could only live another 200 years lived more than the creation of several countries in the Earth.
Herbert went out of the soil and didn't even look around, he has confidence in this escape power, if he isn't arrogant and used it to escape when he sensed Shadow, Lydia won't die.Not only Shadow and the old man killed her, he has part in this too, she had Tier 3 power but never fighted, so even take her to do the mission is a mistake.
Herbert embittered almost all of his decisions and took some alcoholic beverage, even though he never liked it.For days this abandoned room is filled with anguish and even sniff sounds sometimes, not just for Lydia but for everything, he didn't cry when his father and brothers are killed, he just have nightmares and just wanted revenge, but because Lydia is there he never cried, now that this support varnished everything collapsed.
After some days, Herbert stopped and went out, his face didn't look so cold now, in his eyes hate is visible but there others things too.
"In addition to getting strong I have to live the life that my father, brothers and Lydia cared so much." After that, Herbert went to several places and different regions fighting, learning and even loving and his legend started there.
30 years later
A blonde woman is smiling to a baby in her arms, and a man looked at that smiling too.
"What name we should give her?" the woman asked suddenly.
"I don't know, my father delayed that for 3 months and I love my name, we don't need to hurry" replied the man with a smile.
"Are you gonna do that for real?" the woman suddenly changed the topic and got worried.
"I decided to do that long time ago." the man said simply but with firmness.
The man sees the woman get more worried so he said "You know me, when I do something that I don't have sure about?"
The woman smiled but still preoccupied, after all nobody could make this happen no matter how strong they are.
"I will go and even if I can't defeat they, I can escape, you know that nobody in the world could caught me." the man said if can't defeat they, but his confident smile said that he didn't even consider this.
"Okay, no matter how long I wait I still be here." the woman knows that this is the only way to him, so no more tried to stop him.
"I'm going" the man kissed the woman and patted his daughter's face, and went out.
