The greasy-haired middle-aged man growled through his teeth, "Kill her!"
"Yes, sir!"
The thugs all leapt toward Kat at the middle-aged man's orders, while Kat's neighbors remained still and silent.
They watched as Kat stood alone, unsure if they should flee or stay.
"Hyah!!!"
Kat, however, did not stand idly and wait for her doom.
She leapt to action right then, charging straight toward the greasy-haired middle-aged man.
In her way was a grinning thug, who swung his metal bat straight at her head.
If it struck true, it would at least be a concussion—even Kat's neighbors were closing their eyes, unable to look.
"That brat's so… Urgh!"
"She has passion, but that's too reckless!"
Even as everyone sighed in resignation and were dead sure Kat would get hit, Kat suddenly stopped in her tracks at an impossible speed.
The metal bat missed her right then and struck the thug on the cheek.
The thug yelped even as two rows of his teeth on that side of his face shot out, while he spun in the air for several circles before dropping to the ground.
"What?!"
It was not just the neighbors—the thugs were left staring blankly too.
Even Sil was frowning. "A martial artist?"
"Gah!"
A burst of vigor permeated her meridian nexus and extended throughout her body, and she instantly felt herself getting stronger.
As the thugs charged at her, she breathed a battlecry and punched a metal bat that another thug swung at her. Then, snatching it out of his grasp, she smashed it on another thug's head.
"What…"
Her neighbors were left staring blankly as she fought against all those men alone.
But soon, one of them picked up a metal bat from the ground and joined the fray.
Another soon followed suit, and eventually, most of the youths were fighting too.
Pandemonium ensued, and the youths' involvement considerably eased the pressure on Kat.
Still, she was struck in the head and back several times, and blood trickled out of her lips and forehead.
