Right now this's between us, but anything untoward happens to her, you'll have half of Olympus come down on you and, mate, they'll be baying for blood." Truth or exaggeration, it didn't matter, as long as he could get the Sheriff to believe it, to decide that harming Clio was more trouble than it was worth to him. Otherwise, there wasn't a thing that could stop him from simply taking the both of them back to his prison. He'd already threatened as much.
