Being able to sit in the position of the director of operations at Merman Brothers Consortium meant there wasn't a single individual who was simple-minded or prone to rash, impulsive behavior.

Honestly, getting beaten up and lying down for half a year is completely different from being maimed or even killed.
His actions were merely meant to scare the people at the Aircrew Base, hoping to see them embarrass themselves, terrified to the point of peeing their pants, and losing face utterly.

But he had never expected to encounter a clueless rookie who would attempt suicide without a second thought the moment they disagreed.
Especially since he had just threatened the other party, now even if he was right, he would appear wrong.
