Chapter 128: Taro saves the day!

"What the! How—why are you here?" Stalker one asked, all flustered about it.

"Huh? This is a public path. So why is it that I can't come by this path?" Taro asked.

"I see. Wait, she ditched you, didn't she? How about we take revenge on her together?" Stalker one asked in a serious tone, believing that Taro and Abhirami were a thing to begin with.

"And how exactly are you planning to do your revenge?" Taro asked.

"Ah, that!" Stalker one took out a knife from his pocket. "I was thinking of stabbing her a few times with this." He replied.

Taro took the knife from him to inspect it. Although initially stalker one was reluctant to give it away, for the sake of solidarity and revenge he gave it.

"Hmm, do you really think that this could hurt someone?" Taro asked.

"Well, if we hit the right spots, then maybe. Like, we could stab right into her heart. How about that?" He asked.

Taro sighed. "By the way, tell me one thing. Why are we taking revenge on her again?" He asked.

"Huh?" The group of stalkers were confused, but Stalker two answered this one. "That's because she cheated on all of us! She deserves to get punished!" He spoke.

"Ha, when did that happen?" Taro asked.

"What do you mean?" They asked back.

"She never cheated on me." Taro replied.

What he meant was that they were never a thing to begin with, so how could she even cheat on him. However, what they interpreted was that they were still a thing.

"Wait, give back my knife!" Stalker one tried grabbing it from Taro's clutches, but a slap from him brought him down.

"You want this knife?" Taro asked as he seamlessly bent the knife to the point that it became a stainless steel ball. "There you go! You can play with it now." Taro smirked.

"You bastard!" Stalker two, who pinned down Abhirami instead of number one when Taro came around, gave the task to number three as he advanced towards the Wadorian.

"Now, you shouldn't pick a losing fight, my dude." Taro grabbed number two's skull and bashed it straight to the ground in one quick motion. Once that was done, all they could hear was stalker two's endless scream in agony.

"You!" Stalker three looked towards Taro with hatred in his eyes. He wanted to get a swing at Taro, but was afraid of doing so. Therefore, he continued with his task, since he'd have a leverage in his hand that way.

However, he didn't notice that because of the worry about his impending doom, he had accidentally loosened his grip on Abhirami. And she took advantage of this as she used her elbow to get a hit on his gut.

In pain, stalker three completely let go of Abhirami. Once he did that, his impending doom was no longer impending. Taro closed the distance between them and then rammed another hit on his gut, thus making him spit out blood. This outcome satisfied Taro.

Since that was dealt with, Taro turned his attention towards Abhirami, who was dusting herself off. "Hey, I'm sorry. I could've just straight up got you off from that position, but I'm just a sucker for theatrics." Taro spoke.

"Saving the damsel in distress at the very end, huh? Not that I ain't angry at you for leaving me like that for a long time, but it sure made you look cool, so yea." Abhirami shrugged.

"We did a cool tag team move as well! So that's pretty amazing!" Taro spoke excitedly.

"Well, you did the amazing part. I just sucked the coolness out of it." She chuckled.

"Hmm, I guess so." Taro spoke as he nodded his head.

"Hey! You were supposed to say that ain't so, and that I was cool as well!" She shrieked.

"Well, what can I say when you are spouting truth like that?" Taro smirked.

"This guy!" She sighed.

"You!" Someone called them both out. After looking around, they came to know that it was stalker one who got knocked out from a slap.

"Oh, you're awake! Look, don't stalk people from now on, especially someone below the age of eighteen. Hell, don't even get it in a relationship with someone like that. It's really annoying." Taro suggested.

"Well, look at who's saying that? The one who's in a relationship with a seventeen-year-old girl. You are not the one who should suggest something like that to me." Stalker one.

Taro got irked by this statement. "You know what? I'll just beat you into a pulp. That'd be better." He spoke as he glared at stalker one.

"Mr Sadanandan… Just no!" Abhirami came to the stalker's rescue, or so he thought.

Instead, she pushed Taro aside and started stomping on his face like crazy.

"You know that there's a chance that he's actually enjoying it, right?" Taro asked.

"Shoot. Then just slap him once like before. Maybe not a knockout slap though." She suggested as she moved away from stalker one.

"Hmm, sure." Taro wasted no time and slapped him just once. Because of the decrease in strength of that slap, stalker one could survive without getting knocked out.

"Okay, let's go then." Abhirami urged as she picked her bag from the ground.

"Sure." Taro and Abhirami were about to get away from the place, when stalker one stopped them.

"I've got connections, you know? I swear I'll make your life a living hell after this! I'll make your life a living hell. I'm gonna kill everyone you-" Stalker one was about to say something, but he stopped in once he heard Taro's mumble.

"Ha, it's better to leave things attended, huh?" Taro sighed as he cracked his knuckles.

"Wait, are you gonna beat him up now?" Abhirami asked.

"Hmm, what made you think that?" He asked.

"Well, you were cracking your knuckles and stuff." She replied.

"Ah, don't worry. I'm not gonna beat him. I'm gonna hand them over to the police instead." Taro replied.

"... Oddly responsible response." Abhirami mumbled, which Taro caught.

"Hey, I'm your teacher! So, I am pretty responsible!" He spoke in a playful tone.

"Is that so? Where are we gonna find this police officer then?" She asked.

"Hmm, follow me." He said as he dragged three men on the ground.
