Probably both.
In the novel he holds multiple of those banquets in different villages to lure uke out, so idk what the explanation is in the manga cuz I don't think that uke knows about the banquet. So yeah, probably both of the things you said.
That's crazy ...
Okay but why is he going around killing people again? Does he want to hold these deaths over mc's head ....or is he just releasing stress by killing people ....? ಠ_ಠ
