Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

"Goodbye."

A chilling and terrifying sound came out of Hugo's mouth. He raised his knuckled midair, positioning himself so he could make the man sleep in just a punch.

"W-Wha—"

*Baaam

Everyone's eyes bulged out after seeing how the man flew in the air before hitting the ground, a few meters away. The man's face was covered in blood. There was an instant swelling on his jaw, and his cheeks were almost turning purple.

Hugo turned to his other side. He grabbed the man by his collar. He effortlessly raised him in the air, twirling him around before throwing him to the ground.

The ground cracked at the impact. Just like the precious man, the man right now was left unconscious on the ground. His ribs were broken and some of his bones were fractured.

Eric's lips gaped after witnessing the eye-shocking event. He held firmly onto his gun, straightening his back before pointing his gun again at Hugo. He was trying his best to stop his hands from trembling.

"Who wants to be next?"

Hugo looked around. He stared at them from eye to eye and those who were too scared immediately let go of the children in their hands before running away.

However, Eric was very persistent in keeping the little girl in his hand. He wasn't willing to let go of Hailey's arms in fear that if he ever let go, Hugo would target him.

"For a rather large body like you, it's funny how you tremble in fear." Hugo pointed out. Step by step, he managed to get closer to Eric's position.

"Do you think you can defeat me!" Eric desperately shouted out loud. There were only 3 remaining men on his side. The others left already in a hurry, in fear that they might get the same result as the other two.

"I don't think, I do it." He grinned, gritting out the words in his clenched teeth. "Let go of my sister and I will spare your life."

Eric shook his head, not wanting to surrender. "A-and why would I?" his voice stuttered, even though he was still acting as if he wasn't scared.

Hugo just shrugged his shoulders. He just wanted this to end already. He doesn't want to kill people like what these men were doing, so he was giving them time to surrender.

But it seems like pigs will fly first before they even admit their own defeat.

"What should we do now, Boss?" the man behind Eric whispered. From almost 10 children that they were in the hold of earlier, now, there were only 4.

"Never surrender. We can win this. He's just one!" He screamed out loud. "Get a hold of him." He commanded.

The remaining two men on his side looked hesitant. They instinctively looked at each other, not even bothering to move.

"What are you doing? GO MOVE!"

Without a choice, the two men started moving. The difference was that they looked scared and nervous now as they approached Hugo.

When Hugo saw it, he used it as an opportunity. "Do you want to be unconscious as well? Now run or else…"

Just like a magic word, the two men started running their asses off. They were running as if there was no tomorrow. What they wanted was just to survive and be alive, even if it was just for another day.

With their escape, 2 more children were freed.

"Mother!"

"Father!"

The 2 children ran to their parents. Their eyes were bawling in tears. Hand marks were left on their shoulders as evidence of how gruesome they were.

The sound of children crying was so loud, that some audience who were with their kid chose to leave than stay and be traumatized.

The parents of those freed children were very thankful to the man who just saved them.

When Hugo noticed that the police has still not arrived, his suspicion grew. "Don't tell me they are the cause of this too…" he murmured knowing that several police stations were just near in the area.

"Boss… we can't fight them." The remaining man uttered in a low voice. His body shivered at the thought that they fought with the wrong people.

It added to the fact that the man in their front has an immeasurable strength that was far more superior than them.

Eric swallowed hardly. "Shh, don't make it obvious that we're scared or lower than him!" He hissed trying to not make it obvious.

When he remembered Hugo's main motive, the sides of his lips instantly stretched out. He still has the little girl in his hand. And if he can't survive this, then he won't be alone in the afterlife.

The gun that he was pointing at Hugo had changed its direction. He placed it closer to Hailey's head which sent a shiver down the little girl's body.

"Brother! Save me!" Hailey was left in tears as she felt the tip of the gun at her head.

"What now?" Back to his confident self, Eric has a huge smile on his face.

The people around them gasped and when they try to get near Eric and his remaining ally, the other man would just point his gun at them leaving them no choice but to back out.

"These assholes…" Hugo's fist clenched. He knew for sure that Eric won't pull the trigger as he was still thinking of ways how to run as well.

He was just using Hailey as an excuse for him to not pursue his death any further.

But his patience was already at its limit. He ran as fast as he can with the help of his powers. He kicked Eric on his knees making him kneel on the ground with his knee bone twisted.

"Stay there," He ordered Hailey as she ran towards the side where the other kids were currently at.

When Hugo glanced back at Eric, the look in his eyes changed. Gone is his time being patient enough.

It's time to deal with him now.
