if you'd threaten his company just once with your innovative projects, he'd be satisfied. he'd several better ones. but no, you had THOUSANDS of projects that overrode any idea he had. that said, you've been rivals for years, and in all of 'em, harry always appears with dubious proposals for peace, and the next day he's freaking out again promising to end your life and take over your company.
