I just shoved the yellowed teeth boy away.
And went in their midst. I meet their boss and face him squarely.
"Let her go!. I said firmly.
The girl quickly scrambled to my legs and held me tightly. She was shivering.
"Come back here you cheap slut!. The boss roared and made to drag her. I quickly swung my fist at him.
"Uh! He was shocked because he never saw that coming.
"Attaaaaack!. He shrieked like a girl and ran to the back.
The stupid boys came at me and fell back immediately they tried to hit me. Within a short period of time they were all on the floor writhing in pains.
"Do you still want her? I asked the leader while approaching him.
"No no we don't want her, we don't even know". He screamed while trying to get away from me.
"The next time I see you trying to harm her I will make sure you won't have kids in the future. Do I make myself clear?
"Yes sir ! They chorused.
"Good now get out from here". They all quickly scrambled to their feets and ran for their dear life.
I turned to continue my journey back to the market when I felt that my legs became stuck.
"Huh?. I turned and saw the girl holding on to the hem of my trousers, she was shaking like a rain beaten chick.
"You are free to go they won't disturb you anymore".
"Th.thank you sir". She said while trying to kowtow.
"No it's fine". I said and stopped her from kowtowing.
"How do I repay you? She asked.
"Don't worry my service is free of charge". I said and made her to stand up.
"No I can't let you go without giving you anything". She said.
"Don't worry I won't label you a bad person for not paying back okay?. I tried pacifying her so that I can continue my journey the day was getting late.
"How about a lunch? She pleaded.
"Okay fine. Where's the location?.
"At my house my mom will want to see and thank you".
"Okay where's your house?. I asked her.
She Finally released me after she gave me the direction amd made me promise to be there tomorrow noon.
I already knew that she was a local courtesan who did her works in secret and try to appear as a pure maiden in the open. Who knows what she did to those boys that made them angry. Maybe she swindled them.
"Phew such a stubborn girl that won't take no for an answer". I shook my head and went on my way thinking about the lunch.
