Chapter 1056
“Kill him! I want him dead!” Hubert roared with his hoarse and eerie voice.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body started trembling uncontrollably!
It can be said that his sole purpose in life was to eliminate Emmanuel!
He desperately wanted to murder the man who had taken away his beloved. He needed to feel Emmanuel’s blood on his hands after the man had turned him into such a wretched creature!
His few loyal bodyguards behind him immediately lunged at Emmanuel.
Soon, a clash of fists and grit began.
Alas, their impressive martial arts skills proved to be nothing but mere tricks in the face of Emmanuel.
Emmanuel effortlessly knocked them down without causing any of them serious injuries, primarily because he knew these people were just trying to make a living. They might have wives, children, and elderly parents at home. There was no need to be so ruthless!
Unfortunately, it seemed that his gentle tactics and Hubert’s raging only encouraged more and more thugs to rush at him.
Nevertheless, he remained calm and defeated each and every one of them.
Sure enough, none dared to make any sudden movements after seeing him defeat about 20 people alone.
The young men and women gasped in astonishment and even applauded when they saw Emmanuel had emerged victorious.
If they hadn’t just experienced the fear caused by the iron-masked man, they might have thought they were watching an action movie!
“Hmph! Look at him feigning weakness again!”
Ashton had been observing from the side. With her level of skill, how could she possibly not notice Emmanuel’s mercy toward Hubert’s subordinates?
If she were in his shoes, there’s a chance that she could handle all 20 men by herself. Still, she was also certain that she wouldn’t pull her punches. After all, it would take a certain level of mastery to pull something like that off.
“Are you done?”
Only then did Emmanuel straighten himself and approach the iron-masked man,
The iron-masked man staggered away with each step Emmanuel took toward him. He only managed to snap out of it when his buttocks inadvertently hit the corner of the table, causing him to feel a humiliating and burning pain!
“Don’t come any closer!” screamed the iron-masked man as he raised his hands to cover his head, his eyes filled with fear.
When the young people Hubert tormented caught sight of his plight, they suddenly felt as though the terror that had been looming over them had vanished!
“Turn yourself in!”

Emmanuel sighed and said earnestly, “Is there a point in you living like this? Can you even call this living? Plus, your actions will only bring disaster upon Yeringham! I really hope you can act like mature adult for once. You’re already in your 20s! It’s time for you to grow up!”
a
Hubert was about to lose his mind upon hearing Emmanuel’s words and seeing the expression on his face!
What could be more humiliating than this?
The man he despised the most, the man he desperately wanted to kill, was treating him as though he was nothing but an unruly child! He was even being lectured like a naughty brat!
In the eyes of his archenemy, he wasn’t even worthy of being his opponent!
“Emmanuel Lowe, I challenge you to a fight!”
The Iron-masked man lost control of his emotions as he lunged at Emmanuel without hesitation.
Smack.
Emmanuel slapped him across the face, forcing him to halt in his tracks.
Smack.
Another slap sent him crashing to the ground.
Hubert’s iron mask also fell to the ground, revealing his deformed and hideous face.
The surrounding men and women erupted in whispers and exclamations!
The Iron-masked man had no choice but to forcibly calm down!
In the face of such a vast disparity, it didn’t matter how hard he fought or even if he placed his life on the line. He knew he would only bring further disgrace upon himself.
“This is punishment for your recent misdeeds.”
Emmanuel said slowly, “Heed my words. You’re already an adult. So, when you do something wrong, you have to face the consequences! You may escape your punishment for a brief moment, but know that you will never be able to flee from paying for your misdeeds forever! The more you try to run away, the more severe the punishment you will face. I hope you will one day come to understand my words.”
Hubert felt as though whatever remaining pride left had shattered into a million pieces as he started sobbing like a helpless child.
In the past, whenever he did something wrong, his mother, Winona Zelinsky, would indulge him and shield him from the consequences. Alas, his mother couldn’t help him this time.
From his perspective, Emmanuel was a demon who would dog his steps everywhere he went. To make matters worse, neither he nor his mother could possibly defeat this monster!
“I surrender! Isn’t it enough if I surrender? I don’t want to exchange blows with you ever again! I don’t want to see you in my life forever! You hear me?! Forever!” Hubert wailed like a hapless child.
In the eyes of others, he was a demon. On the other hand, Emmanuel was the demon in his life story.
He would have nightmares about this man for the rest of his life. Now, all he wanted to do was hide away in a safe place. If he could do that, then he would never have to lay his eyes on Emmanuel ever again!
“Then, come with me!”
Ashton finally approached the sniveling Hubert and promptly handcuffed him. Then, she shot Emmanuel a glance as she thought, This man is practically a demon hunter at this point!
Just one glance from Emmanuel was enough to instill fear in the twisted man everyone was terrified of!
It seemed that her previous defeat at his hands wasn’t that embarrassing, after all.
