Just talking about the final outcome, why did Arthur kill Steve?
Morally, Arthur was arranged or used to kill Harry --- Father Steve, until he saw the dead alive, he knew he was deceived, he already owed Steve, although he trained Steve, brought Letting him mingle with Daoer and train Steve to be an excellent killer can't erase this debt, because Harry is Arthur's master.
From a sentimental point of view, Steve and Arthur cooperated to complete a task, and the two were already a good partner, good buddies. For Arthur, Steve was a master's son and a friend's son. Son, his own apprentice, how can he do it?
From the point of view of ability, Arthur is better in all aspects, so in Steve's revenge for his father, Arthur was born, and Steve thought he had avenged his revenge.
From an operational point of view, Arthur designed a set of record-connected luxury car detonation systems. If Steve didn't touch these two things he was interested in, he wouldn't die. But the question is who will touch these two objects, or Steve, Arthur usually sees it, so here is the design and Steve will die.
It's not appropriate to be fooled into killing someone's father with his own hands, and is it even more inappropriate to design to kill someone's son who has attempted revenge? In the end, the coquettish look on his face, as if after killing the revengeful son, he has become justified in killing his father by mistake? What's the point? Not atmosphere!
