You did not merely keep quiet on your lack of defenses. You claimed to be organizing opposition against him. You claimed to want him dead, even as you restricted information to try and keep people cowering in fear. You claimed to be sending organized teams to try to defeat him.
And your real objective was to watch him grow.
You expect that now anyone should trust your goddamn orders or your fucking plan for his "defeat"?

[He could sure as hell say more, but for now he instead lofts an eyebrow at the turning of the screw, blinking once before the surprise ebbs away.]
You must be Professor Stein. I've heard a fair bit about you, sir. A pleasure to finally speak with you, I am sure.
