Now that i think about it, the best way would just be to stab himself. But may be it would have been too GAR, lol.
Agree, the process of how he did it is what matters. But the president sure has enough power to force Layfon into whatever he wants, after he confirmed his battle power. But why he continues going through all the trouble. I guess he cares about public opinion, and want Layfon to reveal his power publicity. So even "trying to win" and using some portion of the power he already showed before would still give the president excuse to put him into use no matter what latter.
Also as i said, Layfon does not know the strength of others teammate well, nor the enemies. So to persuade himself into his favor was completely normal.
But i don't even know why we are arguing.
So I'm going back to my main point: you expect our protagonist to even think of all of this? It's hard to sort it out even with all the writing, man
