He had an ace in the bag that could tip the scales of the war before the fight ever started, but his morals as a human being and as a light faction fighter discouraged him from using such despicable means to tackle his enemies, however, now that he had found that his enemies broke the bottom line themselves, he had no qualms about using it anymore.
