I was probably good-for-nothing.
"I need not do anything." His voice was as calm as a rooster mere seconds before it gets slaughtered upon a chopping board. "Everyone craves for power and once you taste it, you can't forgive upon it but your obsession will only prosper over it with time. Those conniving idiots dare stand against me and demand heavy arms in exchange for diamonds." His mouth twitches into a half sarcastic-stony smirk.
So this was what Abdala was telling him back when I caught them talking in the office in the middle of the night.
