"to his face" has strong negative connotations .

"if you say something unpleasant to someone's face, you say it to them directly, rather than to other people : I told him to his face just what I thought of him."

"Glanton told him to his face that any man who trusted an indian was a fool."

He told him to his face, 'I hate you! Drop dead!'”
