However, the match was far from over.


    Even after Emmanuel exited the arena, Yosef was relentless in his pursuit.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    “Die! Die.now!”


    Yosef’s de descended from above with the rage of a tempest. He was intent on


    taking Emmanuel’s life.


    “Stop! Stop now!”


    Despite the emcee’s pleas over the speaker system, Yosef’s frenzy could not be halted.


    He persisted in his attacks, swinging his de over and over again.


    As Emmanuel had lost his chance to attack, he could only dodge. His exhaustion

    meant new wounds kept appearing on his body.


    With only 70% of his strength remaining, Emmanuel could never be able to defeat an


    irrational and berserk Yosef in a normal battle unless he was going to use As Above, So


    Below to risk it all.


    At the next moment, the fighters of the Martial Arts Association rushed in to restrain


    Yosef.


    Even so, no one could get close to the deranged man. Those who got too close to him


    would be injured by his aura.


    They all wondered if Emmanuel could actually survive Yosef’s demonic onught.


    Swoosh!


    Yosef forced Emmanuel into a corner and swung his de down once more.

    Chapter 1578 The Showdown Continues


    Emmanuel could dodge the attack, but that would result in the death of the crowd


    behind him.


    What should he do?


    As he was caught in a dilemma, a figure suddenly dashed in before him and swiftly


    grabbed Yosef’s de.


    The crowd was stunned.


    Even Emmanuel was staring at the person before him in shock.


    “Quick! Assist the chairman in subduing Yosef now!”


    Joe immediately instructed.


    While Horace had both of his arms upied with mping down Yosef’s right arm, the


    crowd of fighters swarmed over.

    Finally, they were able to knock out the crazed Yosef.


    The audience was all shocked beyond their senses. When they saw Yosef copsing


    before being tied up, they all let out sighs of relief.


    “Thank goodness!”


    Mackenzie softly eximed to herself as she copsed back onto her seat while her


    head spun slightly.


    Horace looked down at his bleeding hands with a dazed look in his eyes.


    If he had known just how terrifying Yosef was, he might not have allowed Yosef to fight.


    Now, Yosef had won the fight. Could he still be allowed to continuepeting?


    Joe walked over to Horace.

    “Mr. Adkins, are you all right?”


    “I’m fine.”


    Horace did not want anyone to know that his hands were injured, so he hid them


    behind his back as he softly spoke to Joe.


    Joe nodded before heading up on the stage and announcing, “Yosef Harper,


    representative of the Tanner family of Onza, has won the round, but his eligibility for the


    next round will be deliberated on. The decision will be disclosed before tomorrow


    night’s match.”


    The audience erupted into a frenzy.


    Although the match had concluded, the excitement still lingered in the air.


    There was no doubt that this was the most exhrating bout of the Grand Martial


    Chapter 1578 The Showdown Continues


    Showdown thus far. Both contenders had showcased their full might, proving that they


    truly were worthy of the S Rank designation.


    Emmanuel’s defeat wasmentable yet undeniable.


    Mackenzie eventually rxed. In her mind, a victory paled inparison to her


    husband’s safety. As long as he remained unharmed, he was her and her baby’s hero.


    She then shot to her feet.


    “I’ll go with you, Mackenzie.”


    Beatrix stood up and walked over to her.


    Mackenzie looked at her with a frown. “Why?”


    “To check on Emmanuel. He has won thepetition, so why isn’t he back yet?”


    Chapter 1578 The Showdown Continues


    Beatrix pretended to be ignorant.


    However, that only made Mackenzie’s frown deepen as she could guess what was


    going on.


    Still, since Beatrix did not openly mention it, Mackenzie could only pretend to be


    ignorant as well. “I’m only going to the restrooms.”


    “I’ll go with you too. You’re pregnant. You need someone to look after you.”


    Beatrix held tight to Mackenzie’s hand.


    In the corridor, Sage silently kept watch.


    While he could protect Mackenzie, he could not follow her into the restrooms.


    In the end, Mackenzie nodded in response. Before she left, she even nced at Shane


    and Frederick.

    Chapter 1578 The Showdown Continues


    The two ignorant men were still arguing over their bets.


    “It’s your fault for not following my bet! You don’t know anything about martial arts, yet


    you’re so stubborn. No amount of money will be enough to cover your losses!”


    “I would rather lose than support Yosef. He killed Emmanuel’s cousin!”


    “I’m telling you right now that if you want to be rich, you have to put aside pride and


    morals.”


    Mackenzie smiled. Putting aside whether or not Shane was likable, he had great luck


    and understood the truth of the world they lived in better than Frederick did.
