He let out a long sigh and muttered,
"One must always know when to act, and when not to."
In the meantime, Liden was still getting beaten to a pulp.
“Urgh...! H-Heuk! Gah! Ack!”

After a while, Luka came running up, completely out of breath.
“Minister! I-I’ve arrived!”
“Good. That Education Ministry official looks like he’s about to die—patch him up and have him thrown in a cell.”
