Konda sighed, saying,
"You could have spared them."
"By doing this, you're essentially breaking your promise to Master Guda."
"I'm having second thoughts now..."
Matthew replied, unflinchingly,
"I haven't broken my promise."
"What I said to the Master was that I'd do my best. As you just saw, they were trying to surround and kill me; I was forced to fight back."
"Facing such a severe threat, my method of counterattack might have been a bit too violent, but this is a common human reaction."
"You can't expect me to remain incredibly calm while facing a threat to my life, can you?"
"That would be asking too much of me."
Konda hesitated, seemingly finding Matthew's argument somewhat reasonable.
Matthew quickly seized the moment to press his point:
"Sky Heart Land is under attack; Master Guda's whereabouts are currently unknown, and the entire planet is facing tremendous uncertainty. We must take action immediately!"
