Don't Be Kind Rashly (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 154

“Congratulations. So it’s come to this at last.”

Melfius, who had just been dragged out of bed and was complaining about it, offered his congratulations to Lu.

“Did you expect this?”

“Yes. If I couldn’t foresee even this, I’d have to resign my seat as Sage. It was far too obvious.”
