Her family stood quiet as Saleem asked them such a question of importance. It was clear to see that her family won't support her through this new ability.

Lia did expect this nonsense from her step father big time, she was uncertain about the brothers. But the fact that her mother didn't support either, felt like a kick in the head.

The little lady felt like breaking down but hid her emotions and stood tall (5.4ft) in front of the opposition.

In most cases, Lia was the one who made whoever oppose her, cry. But in this case it felt like her family raised daggers and stabbed her continually. She felt frozen and helpless for once after a long time.

"What are you bastards waiting for? Kill them!" Yelled King Macek from the castle watchtower, ordering the remaining guards who were standing along with the crowd, to attack.

"Yeah that does it!" Murmured Kaleem swiftly and he started running towards the watchtower.

"Son what are you doing?" Yelled Saleem from the background, puzzled and equally worried.

"I found our way out of here." Shouted the young man back, still under sprint.

"This looks promising." Added Jim, stretched the last word too.

As Kaleem reached the watchtower, he gave it a punch with all his might, which shook half of the entire watchtower.

"What is this bastard doing?" Whispered King Macek in a small cold tone, puzzled beyond prepare.

Kaleem proceeded to punch the watchtower again and once more. Every time he did so, the tower shook more than it did last time, becoming a whole lot more unstable by the passing breath.

"Guards are storming from all sides!" Saleem alarmed, punching the shit out of a guard after.

As Lia witnessed Kaleem continuing to punch the watchtower with his bloody fists, she wondered. "Does he have magical powers as well?"

But her thoughts were forced shut as the watchtower started rumbling to the point of no return.

The whole 40 foot tall and 25 foot wide watchtower collapsed as if it was nothing, stonework crumbling into a million pieces and launching in three directions.

As for Kaleem, it took him 2 cracked fingers and 19 punches to bring the whole tower down.

Although he wasn't indestructible, super strength offered him twice the endurance he had before discovering his power so that aided to keep the rest of the fingers safe.

But the King, as if angels carried him down, escaped the collapse without a bruise.

"Come grab the King, he is our way out of here." Yelled out Kaleem, gazing at his father.

No one would attack if the group of 4 threatens to break the King's neck and send him up the river for good. And Macek nearly doesn't have the courage to sacrifice himself for the 4 enemies to be killed.

Thinking that Kaleem was calling Lia to do the job, she dashed forward which looked like a little duck running.

Before she was passed by Saleem, shaking the ground as he ran. Leaving Lia to stop on the spot and realising how awkward the situation she just put herself into is.

"Oh you didn't mean... I mean alright let's get out of this hellhole. My boat is on the beach!" Lia murmured with herself before hollering the last words out.

Saleem approached Macek who curled into a ball expecting fists and kicks. The large man grabbed the 5.7ft tall King behind the neck and raised him 2 feet above the ground before uttering. "Compare your strength with me now instead of a little girl."

"Don't kill me please!" The King cried out, covering his face.

"Kill you? No. You're worth a royal size of gold, unfortunately to everyone." Lifting the man higher and in front of the crowd, Saleem demands. "Now tell your guards to drop their weapons!"

"Drop your weapons! Drop them on the ground and clear the way, that's an order!" Yelled Macek in a tone similar to the one scared little dogs make.

But yet the guards still stood hesitant, so Macek yelled out once more. "Do as he said by the name of God Xakro. This demon will crush me to bits if you don't."

Noticing that there is no other option to choose from and seeing it as a clear order of desperation from the King himself. Every guard dropped their weapons and citizens cleared the way.

Lia's family seemed to have disappeared in the crowd long ago, making their answers clear to Lia and everyone.

Their actions most definitely showed shame towards Lia, their perception most definitely labelled the little lady as a demon. It would be pointless to ask them for acceptance right now, and Lia isn't one to ask anyone for shit.

Pushing emotion aside, Lia waved her arm towards the beach and hollered. "My boat is on the beach, you two can push it to the sea, unless you want me to do it!"

"You don't need to, let's go!" Shouted Saleem as he kicked down a rebelling guard.

"If any of you try anything, the King will lose his head. Don't be a hero, live longer." Deciphered Jim, reassuring everyone their place in the world.

And so they rushed for the boat, understanding who's slower, Kaleem grabbed the little lady and lifted her over the shoulder.
