He's willing to do all this plotting, planning, and busting his back but he couldn't be nice and win his loyalty. Which would have been easier since MC's a softie when in debt or someone is in his care. He really could have taken advantage of him if he'd posed as a defenseless child at the beginning or showed dependency. Made him feel that staying with him was actually best for his friends/family. That way the MC would have made excuses for him no matter what he did. But noooooo, he wants to be a bad boy
