Chapter 176: A shadow

"Okay, I'm done." Lonappan spoke.

"What?" Ponnappan asked, since he didn't get the context.

"I said I'm done! You took a lot of time. And that pissed me off. You shouldn't have done that. I don't even wanna hear out your stupid reasoning now." Lonappan scoffed as he began to exit.

"Wait, wait! I apologise. I shouldn't have wasted your time like that. It's my bad. I don't know what got into my head but I thought it would look cool. And by the looks of it, it certainly didn't." Ponnappan spoke as he grabbed his junior's hand.

Lonappan initially struggled to make him let go off his hand. However, that was when he was reminded of how strong Ponnappan actually was, underneath all the grumpiness and lame theatrics. This made him change his mind—not entirely, but he stopped at his tracks, at the very least.
