He actually flashed a grin, at that. "If he were afraid of me, he'd be wise to desperately wish to kill me. He isn't that smart."
He sobered a bit and went on, with information. "In truth, the answer is very likely neither. His goal for years was to kill me, and to turn my apprentice. He eventually got my apprentice, but... made lesser than he had expected and I kept having the audacity not to die. At this stage, he simply hates me. And as we discussed, altogether too many Sith view forced submission as a victory - the only victory. He will eventually kill me, likely in a fit of frustrated rage, but it won't be until after he has failed to claim what he considers a victory in dominating me."
He's not even arrogant. He is 200% confident on the reality that he cannot be forced to submit. As he'd said - killed, tortured, broken, but not truly dominated. You can't do that without the cooperation of the person you were dominating and he simply wasn't going to do that.
