Reversal

She grabbed that guy's leg when he tried to kick her and threw him directly towards the woman holding on to Turek's arm in one swift move. The woman didn't have much time to react. She had barely lifted her hands in defense when the guy crashed into her. This also meant that Turek was now free. Cleo bent down punched the man and the woman in the face once each causing them to lose consciousness.

The woman holding me had been shocked by the turn of events but she had not loosened her grip on me. If anything she tightened it even more and making me lose my opportunity to attack her. I don't think she realized what she was doing to me as I felt a lot of pain in my legs and cried out just as Cleo punched the man.

Cleo heard my cry and looked around. I saw cold rage burning in her eyes.

The woman holding me seemed to be panicking as she said "Let them go or I will kill this little twerp!"

She kept her right arm tightly around my legs and grabbed my neck with her left arm. Cleo looked at her coldly but said nothing. She looked looked back at the two that she had just punched and grabbed each of their legs. Then she said something to Turek and started dragging the two unconscious people towards us. Turek followed her closely.

The woman carrying me started moving back slowly on seeing this scene and her hand on my neck shook a bit. "Stay back! I am not lying! I will kill this kid!" Now the woman had started to sound scared. Anyone would feel scared after looking into Cleo's cold eyes.

Cleo stopped 10 paces away from us and said "Let him go."

The woman just stared and Cleo and said nothing. She continued to try and move back slowly. Her grip was still really tight and painful so I couldn't do anything.

"If you don't let him go now, I will start breaking this man's bones one by one and finally kill him."

It looked like that the woman carrying me would only care about the man so Cleo didn't bother to threaten the other woman.

"Let him go NOW!" finally Cleo shouted in a loud enough voice that the woman carrying me simply dropped me and fell down on her behind. I tried to get up but my legs still hurt so I stayed where I was. The woman was still right next to me staring at Cleo with wide eyes. She knew that a woman who could take out her master and the other woman so easily must be really strong. She was probably really worried about her own life at this point. I would be as well if Cleo looked at me with those scary eyes.

Cleo started walking towards me with Turek. The woman tried to scramble back but she was too scared at this point. Cleo stopped in front of me and ignored the woman completely. She looked at me and asked "Are you alright Ren? Did she hurt you?"

"it's not much, it's just that her grip on my legs was really tight and my legs still hurt."

"Did she break your leg? Turek, can you check him?"

After saying this, she turned her attention towards the woman. Turek checked my legs and said "I think it's just bruised. I am not sure how to tell if its broken though."

"I don't think it's broken Cleo. Don't worry, I should be fine after a little rest". I wanted to drain Cleo's anger before she starts breaking the woman's legs.

Cleo started walking toward the woman who tried to crawl back further. Cleo grabbed the woman's leg and pulled her back. The woman started screaming and pleading. Cleo didn't hit her, instead she grabbed her arm and made her stand on her feet. She then dragged her toward where the man and the woman were.

"Search his pockets and find all the valuable things he has. And do it quickly!"

The woman quickly bent down and retrieved the man's money. It was a sizable amount based on the pouch but I couldn't tell what was inside without looking.

"Now search the woman as well"

"Uh.. ah.. Well she.. she doesn't have any money. We are slaves of the master. We are not allowed to carry any valuables."

These women were slaves? They are so strong and they are just slaves of this man? Why didn't they just run away. I was sure they could run away if they wanted to.

Cleo glared at her.

"I am telling the truth really! You can look for yourself! Please, I really don't have any money!"

Cleo sighed finally letting go of the woman's arm.

"Why are you slaves for such a man? Why didn't you just run away? Or do you enjoy being played around like toys? Do you not have any self-respect as women?"

"I … I .. .we.. we can't run away from him. We have slave seals on us and cannot stay too far away from him. The seal has many restrictions. We will die if we run away. We will die if he dies. We will feel pain if we try to hurt him or don't follow his orders…. We have been his slaves for 5 years now. He bought us when were 15 years old. He has a fondness for female warriors, so he trained us and increased our levels. I am a fighter and a scout while Ginny over there is a fighter and a magician. If you hadn't taken her out suddenly, she might have attacked you with a spell."
