I think our MC isn’t heartless, he must of had a kind nature as a child despite growing up in luxury, but I don’t doubt one second that he’s being manipulative here. Calling the dude hyung, being gentle, sharing (but omitting lots) of his history. It’s all a ploy to trick his slave boy, who’s likely gonna get punished severely/or even killed for it.
