From what Don understood about Silverwing, he was as flashy and well-off as Starboy. Silverwing had the wealth and the charisma to match his power, a hero known for his finesse and confidence.
The fact that he casually promised to donate 20 million, whether he won or withdrew, spoke volumes about his financial standing. But what made Silverwing stand out in Don's mind was his ability to navigate situations like this one without losing face.
Silverwing had nothing to lose going into the evaluation—his reputation was already intact. Don was certain that Silverwing had only agreed to participate in the android challenge on the condition that he saw a clear path to victory.
After watching Thunderclap's one-sided defeat, it was clear that Silverwing made a calculated decision to back out.
