@Solaz Of course he did.
Look at it this way, you're a carpenter with a rock-moving problem and your employer says he won't help you, rather he'll wreck you if you don't finish the house on time. Suddenly some armed hobo turns up and wants a quick job for some cash. You tell him your problem to get him to move on without starting a fight, but he starts stalling you. Then almost off-handedly he crushes the huge damned rock into gravel. This is clearly a guy you don't want to risk pissing off.
Now, he did what you said about the rock, so to not piss him off you still offer him a job, but try your best to foist him off somewhere else. As a matter of fact, you take it upon you to protect your crew from him by guiding him away at once. And once he's found his way you scoot. Both because he's still a strange fellow that breaks rocks with his bare hands and you don't know what makes him tick - and also because you're already three days behind on building and even if the rock is now gravel it still has to be moved out of the way, by your crew who are probably still just chatting around about what just happened..
