10 Escapade (1/2)

Thankappan and Kunjan were flabbergasted upon seeing the flight of the barricade. Gibli felt thankful that he backed away from getting hit by Taro. On the other hand, Taro seemed really happy to destroy some shit, since his job in Wados was cleaning up such shit. He understood why the Wadorian citizens loved to cause a ruckus every now and then.

However, the thing that surprised all four was that none of the people around them looked shocked or didn't even care to stop as they ran past the free space caused by the utter destruction of the barricade. ”Wow, these guys are really passionate about running into the building!” Gibli exclaimed. He felt like the people around them were so devoted to their task and WPP itself that they didn't give a bat's eye about their surroundings.

”Nah, it might be just that they couldn't salvage the reality of the situation.” Kunjan guessed it on point. However, none of them could believe that such a thing could happen and quickly dropped the notion.

”Look. Are you sure you did this with the minimum power you could muster up?” Thankappan turned and asked to the visibly happy Taro.

”Okay, like it's not the bare minimum! If we are to talk about my strength in percentage level, I would assume that I used somewhere around one to five percent of my total power.” Taro replied as he cracked his knuckles.

”Oh, my God! Like, I don't even wanna imagine what would happen if you used your entire power in this planet. It would just vanish into thin air within a second, right?” Thankappan's voice quivered as he imagined that catastrophic event.

”Never have I seen someone speak of their power in such trivial fashion other than one particular race. Taro, tell me. Are you really from Wados or are you a denizen of the martial planet?” Kunjan asked. He remembered witnessing the utter destruction caused by one of the martial planet's finest at that moment.

”Okay. I think this conversation could also be held back in Holy Land, right? So, what do we do now?” Gibli interrupted the conversation and asked. He seemed really tense about such a free approach towards things.

”You're right. Although, I don't think there's much to talk about anyway.” Kunjan looked at Taro for a few seconds before he continued. ”Look, we completed our objective, we broke through the barricade and they are in the building. We get paid extra. So, we can just turn around and leave now.” Kunjan answered much to everyone's relief. They didn't know how they got their asses out from this situation, so they didn't want another one.

”Guys, aren't the police supposed to guard the frontline and arrest them. Then, why the hell are they here?” Thankappan asked as he pointed behind. The police had surrounded them and they had sticks in their hands.

”Hmm, shall I fight them?” Taro asked as everyone looked at him with horror.

”No, they'd die from it!” Gibli screamed.

”How about we get hit with everyone? It'd just be a few hits and we could escape during the confusion.” Kunjan suggested. Taro and Gibli nodded their heads along, but one person did not agree with this plan.

”Screw it. It's easy for you guys. One has a dud body immune to external attacks, other has a very tough exoskeleton and this one doesn't look like he could get hit with any earthly attacks. So, who do you think the exception is? Me! I didn't spend all these years in the dungeon so that I could get hit!” Thankappan cried. Like, literally he was on the verge of gushing out with a whole lot of tears.

”I thought you learned some body hardening techniques back in the dungeon.” Kunjan replied to the plea.

”Just because I learned a few body hardening techniques, that doesn't mean I like to get hit like you people do. I'm not a masochist, you bastards!” He screamed, before someone muffled him by covering his mouth and dragged him along.

”Shut your trap if you wanna escape!” It was Lonappan with the save. He saw the entire episode unfolding and yet waited for the right time to jump into the conversation. He was meticulous in weird sorts.

”Wait! How are we gonna do that?” Kunjan asked. He didn't sense Lonappan beforehand because he isn't capable of sensing faint presences. However, he was curious about Lonappan's plan.

”Well, if you shut up and follow me, you'll get it.” He sounded a bit enraged as he spoke. He asked them to blend in; instead they ended up causing a ruckus of unimaginable scale. He was pissed off and rightfully so.

The guys decided to shut their mouths after that and decided to quietly follow Lonappan. In the end, they had an auto-taxi waiting for them a little farther away. And inside it was Gopan, vigorously waving his hand.

”Hey guys, once again!” Gopan gave out a smile as he continued waving his hand.

”Hello, Gopan. Why are you here?” Kunjan asked. Gopan was supposedly the organizer of the strike in this part, however he was not present in the main site now and instead was frolicking around in the auto-taxi.

”Well, this is my day job.” He replied as he continued playing around with the steering wheel.
