The harbour guards wondered to see a man running towards them , shouting something...
" Help... Help....!!"
Taraka's high pitched tone made Vallavan to turn to the entrance.. He was supervising the men at the second gate.. The voice seemed to be familiar..
Taraka?!
Infuriated , His face turned red ... His fists curled up to beat him to death..
