Another World Mall

The defeat of the Hacfield family shocked the whole world. All of them already knew what kind of power the Hacfield family had, as it was led by one of the strongest people on the planet.

At the same time, they couldn't help but be amazed by what led to that defeat.

When the Hacfield family came to destroy the Melesviet family, they were ambushed. If it were an ordinary ambush, the Hacfield family could easily break their way through or even turn the situation around.

However, what people didn't expect was the fact that the Melesviet family worked together with the government.

That was right. The biggest reason the Hacfield family lost was due to the country's interference.

Because of their strength, Tier 9 humans were often seen as someone who was above countries. But thanks to this incident, the government finally showed its worth.

The Hacfield family was surrounded by the Prophet, the Spear Saint, and the country. The country offered many high-level experts from both the government and the influences who wanted to work together with them.

In addition, there were many weapons that the government could use to take down the Hacfield family.

Outnumbered, the Hacfield family suffered the biggest defeat ever since its creation. After seeing the power of what they could do, a lot of nations took advantage of this momentum and chose to partner up with their respective Tier 9 humans.

With the government protecting the Tier 9 human and the Tier 9 human fighting together with the government, their defense became impenetrable.

70% of the Hacfield family force was wiped out. The people who had been waiting to devour the Hacfield family couldn't help but show their fangs, weakening the entire influence.

Michael Hacfield also suffered a severe injury and couldn't help them. If this continued, the entire Hacfield family would be destroyed.

With no way to stop them, Michael chose the best path for the ones who survived.

He disbanded the influence.

Although it was a hard choice, it was the best thing he could do for the people who had trusted him. This way, the low-level influences who couldn't endure it could join the others to maintain themselves.

Still, there were a lot of loyal retainers in the Hacfield family, who chose to die rather than disband. People like Alan still felt grateful and would help the family without hesitation, which was the main reason for him to help Clovis in the first place.

Ultimately, those people scattered across the world, especially after Michael closed the gate and hid from the enemy's pursuit.

It was an incident people couldn't forget.

…

5 years later.

Michael had recovered completely. However, the person that he wanted to recover the most was still lying down on the bed, her vitals were weakening as time passed.

He was staring at the wife he loved so much. Ever since that day, the sky had been cloudy. It felt like the world had lost its color. The smile that he usually had on his face had disappeared completely.

The ambush destroyed the Hacfield family, but Lily's condition broke Michael. Michael could endure everything as long as Lily was there, but it was impossible.

"What are you saying? You didn't monopolize me. I…" Michael bit his lips.

Lily understood very well the pain Michael is experiencing right now. Sadly, there was nothing she could do. Still, she couldn't bear to make it even sadder. "I'm going ahead. I will be waiting for all of you, and whoever dares to follow me without dying of old age, I'm going to whoop their asses. See ya!"

Despite all the efforts, everyone was crying. Even Michael, who remained strong even after losing the Hacfield family, broke into tears.

Lily was a pillar of their household. Losing her meant losing the family.

Even after saying those words, there was only one thought in Michael's mind: revenge.

After Lily's death, Michael went for revenge. Now that five years had passed, the story about the Hacfield family had gone past people's minds.

And this was also the start of Michael's new path. Lily had been considered a saint due to her cheerful nature and her problem-solving. Meanwhile, Michael was considered a hero. Thanks to his casual way of saving people and Lily's image, people portrayed him as a hero.

However, the act of revenge was nothing like that of a hero. In his revenge, he destroyed over 50% of the Melesviet family's allied forces, not a single person was spared, even if it was a baby.

All three generations of their allied forces were exterminated. People tried to find him, but they failed to do so.

Last but not least, his target was none other than the president, who was allied with the Melesviet family at the time. He was the person responsible for that crushing defeat.

That was why Michael killed him, along with all his family. He hung their bodies at the landmark of the nation, which became a spectacle to the entire world.

The country was enraged, but they couldn't find Michael. Those who searched for him disappeared along the way.

The countries all around the world once again realized the terrifying existence called Tier 9 humans. The reasons they partnered up with them and did nothing but please them.

Because of that incident, there was one nickname that stuck out the most.

Madman.

A person who dared to kill thousands of people and even hung the bodies of the country's former president along with their family in their landmark.

There were countries that tried to help, but they suddenly dropped the matter when Michael 'visited' their countries.

From that point on, a saying echoed in almost all people's ears, "Be a good boy or the crazy bastard will wreck your home."

At the same time, this saying also protected both Aisha and Gerald. If they were harmed, they would be the ones doomed for incurring Michael's wrath.

However, as time passed, the achievements of Aisha and Gerald gradually made people forget about such a dark past.

Still, the fact that the Hacfield family once existed remained in people's hearts.
