Nero was ready to give his utmost. Naturally, it was not Andrew that required his utmost, but his own state of mind. There was no shortage of people who had told him to reign in his arrogance and anger, and to stop provoking enemies everywhere he went, so that was his goal.
Thus, as he stepped up to face Andrew, he was entirely focused on making sure he didn't cross any lines. Yet, to his immense surprise, no matter what Andrew did, or what he said, he could not evoke an emotional response from Nero.
Even Nero himself had not been expecting such a thing. Andrew had been beating Silas up for a month, yet when he thought about that, it did not anger him. His words, his arrogance, his dismissal of Silas did not anger Nero either, nor did the way he looked down on Nero.
