Chapter 72 - 72.The followers

Kendra looked icily at Chial and Isaa joined the play. Even if she lived just something over ten years, she knew that there are many plays between good and bad people. She knew already that this is just a play so she just got closer and held Kendra's hand.

"Is there a problem?" she asked looking around at people that came.

" There is," one voice sounded. Kendra saw one good looking young man, a woman and two girls emerging from the group. She looked at Chial but he shook his head. It seems they were not those he had a real problem with.

"Speak." she looked at them coldly. It seems they were just prequel to what will come later.

"We are not satisfied with the payment and working conditions here." said the young man.

"Ohhhh" was the only thing she said while waiting for the rest.

The woman came closer to Kendra, looking arrogantly at the two children and humped. "Why do you even talk to the child. We will negotiate with their parents.'

" We have no patents. I'm the boss here. If you have something to say, you may speak now. I will not take time later on." said Kendra while they looked at her in astonishment.

The woman suddenly looked back as she didn't know how to react. Two big men came out of the crowd. One was a burly man with a darker complexion and the other had a big body and knife scars on his face.

" So a little boy and a little girl were owners. In that case, the uncle here might help you a little bit. " he looked at them and came even closer.

Kendra took a look at him calmly not being intimidated for a bit. She rose her eyebrows and smiled cynically. " No parents, no uncles.

You work here, that means you are my worker, not a family. Somebody like you should not even think about plastering on my back. Not even Chial would dare and he is Cauldron city's citizen."

" We come from the capital city. What do you think about that?" said the young woman.

"What does capital has to do with me? I live here. Cauldron city is independent of capital. We help the country in need of war, everything else is up to us. We don't bother them, they don't bother us. Simple as that." said Kendra while feeling something off these people.

Lilly started growling at the man with scars. She knew that she shouldn't speak but she growled as she felt something off from that man.

"Oh, the little puppy is disliking me? But it's cute. Why not gift it to my two girls." he said while looking strangely at Lilly.

Kendra narrowed her eyes and looked closely at people around them and then those two children. They all had a way to cold and stone-faced expression. Hypnosis? Poison? Power?

She saw him reaching his hand at her and suddenly...nothing happens. She stood there calmly and looked at him while he waved his hands in front of her. But still, nothing happened.

'How is this possible?" He got angry and just jumped to grab Kendra but she just turned around and gave him half kick into his chest.

Usually, the child of her stature wouldn't be able to even move him, but Kendra's body got stronger last few months.

When the kick hit his chest the man wanted to laugh but suddenly he felt excruciating pain and loosing of breath. His body flew in a big arch and fell on the floor and then rolled a few times.

This is impossible. He was screaming in his mind but couldn't say a word loudly. He couldn't breathe and his mind became blurry for a while. He was close to faint but didn't on the end.

The group of people that came with that guy looked at the calm child. She first looked at rolling man then at them while her ice turned icily cold.

" It seems you people came here to make troubles with my workers and not to work

If you, as you said, don't like working conditions then go. Find work somewhere else." she looked at Chial. " Speak. How long did they work and how much?"

Chial was actually quite stunned by what happened. He didn't expect that man to attack Kendra and even less was expected that Kendra had such strength to hit that man into flying. When she spoke to him he was still stunned. He looked at her hazily.

Kendra shook her head and knocked at his forehead unceremoniously. Chial then snapped out his thoughts and looked at her.

"How long do they work and how much work did they do so far.?" she asked while pointing with finger at the group of people that came with that guy.

Chial became sober." Actually, they came this morning. They argued most of the time with the people and when it stopped they just started ordering them around and sat there doing nothing."

"Ohhhh. So they play boss in front of you and didn't work a bit?" said Kendra while starting to have jitters in her hands. She is usually not an aggressive person, but sometimes she just wanted to take a stick and beat up those that bother her. She gave up that taught. As long no one attacks her directly she will just fight them differently.

The big burly man got suddenly angry."So what if we did that. You are maybe somewhat strong but can you fight us all? We..." he just started his sentence when he felt his feet losing ground. He fell on his back and a kick at his head knocked him out.

Isaa came back to Kendra's side and looked at her for appreciation. Kendra taught her the martial arts moves she actually learned for a couple of months. She just at that time felt that she wanted to learn something new so she learned a bit. But after a while, she gave up as she started traveling around the world and working more and more.

But she remembered a few moves she learned and some from the TV screen. She knew her body should get stronger so she gave up weight lifting and remembered the martial arts. And she taught Isaa as well.

She patted her head smilingly." Good job. You became faster as it seems. But the strength if your move could become stronger is you..." she started explaining Isaa while ignoring the rest of people.

Suddenly the two girls came closer. They looked at people and then at Kendra and Isaa that ignored them and sighed. " It seems our powers don't work on two of you. Stop acting and help us."

Kendra smiled. Finally, the real cause if everything is the girls. She had eyes on them from the start. Two little girls between those people, but the people acted as the girls didn't exist. Seriously, it was so obvious. But she wanted to see what they will do.

"What are you and what did you plan to do in this city?" she asked while looking at them

They both had simple but clean dresses. The one was about ten or eleven years old and the other was thirteen or fourteen.

"We didn't harm any of those. This man planned to sell us as soon as they found buyers. We couldn't control them but we could plant thoughts in their heads. We heard beforehand that this city is currently the safest city in the country so we taught if we could come here maybe someone would be able to help us." the older one spoke calmly while patting her sisters head.

"What about the way they act and speak?" asked while looking at the two people on the floor and the man and woman standing and looking at the children in fear.

"Totally free will. He acting up like that was normal. I used some powers to slow down peoples actions so Mr.Chial would notice unusual behavior. Actually, he planned to enter the city and sell us to some nobles as their playthings but the gate was closed and he heard there was a need in workers. He planned to use force to bully the money from these people but then you came. Luckily..." said the smaller girl while pointing at the first man that Kendra hit.

"Ohhhh. First, release the people so they can continue to work. The two-man... They will be taken care of by my friends." She quickly flashed and knocked out the man and woman and then knocked the man that was about to wake up.

She calmly came back and smiled at Chial. " Take couple man and get them on the carriage and to city's office. They need a trial."

Chial patted Kendra's head and ordered a couple of men to hive the people onto the carriage and went off. She looked at the Thalis at back and saw him with a calm expression. He didn't even flinch whole time.

She then looked at the two girls and suddenly started laughing. They looked at her and wondered. Even Isaa was in wonder. She looked at Kendra and then started laughing as well. The three children looked at each other and then looked down their clothes and themselves to see what was so funny but they looked normal.

Kendra had tears in eyes as to how much she laughed. She waved the hand for those three to come closer and when they did she pinched their cheeks.

"How cute. All if you. Finally. It seems we will start with classes soon. The first students are already here." she looked at them with a huge smile.

The girls looked at each other and then at her. "Students?"

"And if you are hungry?" she ignored the question and asked as calm as she could. They shook their heads. "In that case just follow me and later I will explain. Do you trust me?"

The three children smiled and nodded. That was enough for Kendra. She saw people going back to work and turned to the field with potatoes. Niram was there with few workers as he weeded some grass around plants. It seems he didn't notice anything unusual as he was fully into the work on the field.

He rose his head and saw a group of children coming. At first, he didn't think much but he then saw Kendra and smiled brightly. "Kendra. Isaa. Finally, you two are here." he looked at children behind her but didn't pay much attention.

Kendra looked at lush green leaves the potatoes had. She took look at the leaves and luckily didn't see any insects or and discoloration. She nodded happily.

"Uncle Niram, let's dig out one of the plants. But carefully."

He carefully started digging. Soon first potatoes came and they were big. Kendra already felt the difference in weather. It's better to take them out.

"Uncle Niram, they are ready. Take them all out."

Niram called the rest of the workers and they started carefully taking out the potatoes. What made Kendra curious was the amount of it. The amount was at least three times more than she had in the space but had no energy inside.

Energy fertilizer needs to be added every day to turn plants into special veggies. But they just grow better if added once.

When they finished taking all the potatoes out she got seriously stunned. There were enough potatoes to feed at least a palace for the whole winter. At least the Lord will finally get his potatoes to eat.

She ordered Niram to pack the potatoes. She told him to leave the part for himself and Chial. She let him have six bags and Chial ten bags. The rest is to be sent to the palace.

Niram nodded and packed the potatoes even tho he didn't know why. But he saw her face and knew this is a good thing.

She knew he will take care of everything and went back to the house. She explained to Dawn and Gillie how to prepare the potatoes.

"Potato I already tried. It tastes amazing. Is good and tasty food and you can use it in stews or fried, baked or just use your imagination and try out. I think Niram will have his fun with this plant. Please peel the potato and don't eat green parts." she explained everything and then went back to the city.

Behind her were three children that knew from then on that they certainly will never be hungry as long they follow her. She treats the two families so good, so it seems as long they stick to her side they will be fine as well. The girls looked at the boy and smiled happily.

The three of them made unspoken wow that they will follow the two children no matter what.

Group of children arrived at the gate as the sun slowly showed signs of leaving the bright sky and leaving the cacophony of colors on a beautiful sky.

The future is bright and no matter how dark the situation seems, there is Kendra. Without knowing Kendra got followers that will, later on, make a big difference in her life. But that's a story for later...
