After dealing with Kris the Executioner sent the picture of Kris' head to Richter. The Executioner also sent a message asking Richter if he could go all out. He explained that the three remaining traitors would be harder to kill, especially since he needed to capture Oliver alive.
Richter who received the message didn't really like the idea of the Executioner going all out on some small fry. The whole reason he was making the Executioner always hold back was for training purposes. When he revived the Executioner he immediately noticed that he was weaker than before, so to regain his former strength he set some restrictions for the Executioner to retrain his body and techniques.
