He's very glad they were evil, but he'd get more pleasure from making them suffer and live in pain than if he rewarded them...no? He is a sadist after all.

No, I didn't understand.
So, you do not understand the noble paths?
four noble worlds
The highest four of the Ten Worlds—the realms of voice-hearers, cause-awakened ones, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. The term is contrasted with the six paths, or six lowest of the Ten Worlds. These four noble worlds are also regarded as the states in which one makes efforts to transcend the uncertainty of the six paths, where one is controlled by earthly desires and governed by an ever-changing environment, and to establish independence or release from the control of earthly desires and external changes.
