agree  Natalia Koltsova: Not 'for a specific purpose' though. I think 'purposefully' might be better or even 'consistently'

  -> I think "целенаправленный" means for one single aim; "purposeful" in more general.

  -> Or more colloquially than would do here, "to have it in for him". There is a well-known line from the film "Carry On Cleo", in which Kenneth Williams, playing Julius Caesar being assassinated, cries: "Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"
