Yeah, his threat should have been better. Like he's a mafia boss, he should be threatening to kill you and your families or something.

But overall I felt that they did well with having the villains be increasingly bigger threats. First one only affected your school, second one affected students at multiple schools, third one affected an entire area of the city, and so on.

That's the thing about Japan, is that in contemporary Japan you see a lot more of these modern gangs that aren't Yakuza and they blend in because they don't have decades or centuries of influence behind them. And one of their best sources of power is making sure to trap people in debt to them and getting payments from them and letting the criminal system chew them up if they try to run or don't pay or contact the police. You're basically blackmailed on a personal level while also knowing that just by getting implicated in crimes by the group, your whole family will suffer.
