Hearing the workers' cries, Perfikot glanced at the workers in front of her who were still somewhat emotionally agitated and shouted, "Who's Balas?"
The worker leader had no intention of hiding, ignoring his fellow workers who tried to pull him back, he approached Perfikot with an air of determination and fearlessness. He straightened his chest and said, "I am Balas, Balas Boynes. If you're going to arrest someone, just arrest me. This matter has nothing to do with the others."
Balas did not wish to involve other workers, evidently understanding that attempting to cause trouble under circumstances where Perfikot had already fired shots and summoned the army truly put other lives at risk.
