Eventually, as over a dozen youths from Kat's neighborhood joined the fray, she took down over twenty thugs.
Still, some of them carried machetes and knives, and Kat ended up getting cut in the forearm when one of them caught her off guard.
At her limit, she was panting heavily as she looked around, but the thugs were all down.
"Well done, kiddo!"
"I didn't think old Nash's kid was this good!"
"Your hands's bleeding… Quick, get it bandaged!"
Kat felt warmth unfurling in her heart from all the praise showered her way and puffed her chest as she turned toward the greasy-haired middle-aged man.
"Is that it? Hehehe…"
Somehow, the greasy-haired middle-aged man was not upset or blaming the thugs' incompetence, but was instead laughing… even clapping.
"So that's why you're so full of yourself, kid! You're actually a martial artist—half-baked, but I guess it counts!"
Kat glowered in turn and snapped, "If you get it, then leave!"
"Leave?"
The greasy-haired middle-aged man paused for a moment and laughed even more loudly. "Kiddo, I could already see you're at your limit! I almost wanted to stop myself, but…"
He waved, and more thugs leapt out from the heavy construction machinery… and there were over two hundred of them!
The greasy-haired middle-aged man smiled at Kat in turn. "I didn't bring much, but I brought all the men I could spare. Did you really think you could chase away the Lionhearts all on your own? You're kidding, right?"
"Ignorant fool." The greasy-haired middle-aged man snorted.
Instead of dodging Kat's full power blow, he moved as fast as lightning, his large hand seizing Kat by the neck and lifting her into the air!
"Oof…"
Her attack foiled, Kat suddenly found herself struggling.
But the greasy-haired middle-aged man's hand was holding her neck with a vice-like grip, and she could not free herself no matter what she did.
"Heh. Allow me to introduce myself…"
The greasy-haired middle-aged man sneered as he took off his glasses. "Sil Lionheart, vice-chief of Volsung Sect's Caudal Hall."
