The Scum is Making Strategy

'Wait, as long as I stay in my ruthless and deceiving acts, it should be okay, right?' Rei concluded.

"Hey, kid. Stop crying!" the slightly rise of voice from Rei made the prince looking at Rei with a tremendous frightened face. He even looked like he would faint.

Rei tried to calm himself.

"Listen, kid. You do not need to be afraid. The kill will be smooth that you won't feel any pain." Rei walked from his spot towards the young prince. The young prince became paler.

Rei looked at the prince up and down. This youth emanated a noble aura. With his handsome young face and tall figure, he sure have many princess come to him.

"How old are you?" Rei asked after he stood beside the bed, face to face with the prince.

"I am 10 years old." The prince answered despite his stifled sobs.

'This young prince has a courage.'

"You must be the dear brother of the current king." Rei dug in his memories. The late king has died due to his severe illness two years ago. The current king ascended the throne when he was 18 years old. The emperor has 2 princes, and very loyal to his queen. The previous king even has no concubines.

'Not bad.' He thought.

The current king should go berserk knowing his dear brother was currently on the hand of the villains. Since age 11 Rei has joined this gangster group and in 16 years old he has become the boss. He commanded the villains and caused chaos in the kingdom. Rei and his subordinates have done many crimes, from robbing and killing the corrupted aristocrats.

'Wait. Their criminal group has not killed commoners, even once?'

Rei thinking hard.

The young prince looked at Rei expectantly. His red rimmed brown orbs looked clear under the stream of suns that came through the windows.

"I should kill you, sooner or late. You know that, right?"

The young prince bowed his head low.

Rei looked at the tied hands and legs, then sighed.

'I cannot become soft now, or else I'll feel pain. I hate pain.'

"For now, I'll let you live as captive. I'll think what kind of death should befall on you."

Rei walked away towards the door. When he opened it, he saw many of his men standing with worried faces.

"Boss, is everything alright?"

"Are you feeling sick anywhere?"

Rei tried to enter the character and looked at them with his cold eyes.

"I'm fine. Locked the door and guard it. Do not let anyone enters except me."

"Okay, Boss!"

He cringed with their manly shouts.

'God, I need beauties to purify my eyes.'

The tired prince left alone in the room. Because he has crying for a long time, he became sleepy. However, with hands and legs tied, it was impossible for him to have a rest. When he looked at his aching legs, he saw something shiny near his sole. He approached the object and saw a pocket knife. Silently he took the knife and tried to cut off the tie on his hands. Did not need a long time, the prince succeeded in cutting the rope on his hands and his legs. He looked at the door and smiling.

'Interesting'.
