We're not talking about the victim receiving abuse though. We're talking about manipulation, which doesn't necessarily have to involve abuse. Though, it depends on the situation and what you want to manipulate them for.

Different manipulative techniques work for different situations. The target's wants and needs are only met temporarily to gain their trust, assuming their trust is what you need.

I do not want to get too close to you neither, buddy. 

The meanings of the words 'prey' and 'victim' are almost identical. The only difference being that calling somebody your 'prey' is poetic. To call someone your 'victim' is ugly but accurate and demonstrates the contempt you have for the person you are preparing to abuse.

How do I exploit the victims I take? You mind your business and I will mind my business.

 What does remorse feel like? Do you feel it?

Not all forms of manipulation are abusive. It's really just a type of deception in order to gain something.

When you deceive somebody: their perception of reality is permanently distorted. This is a very subtle form of assault. When you deceive somebody to get what you want, you are behaving parasitically. That is abuse/misuse.

If you ask a person to do something for you, that is normal behaviour.

If you manipulate a person into doing something for you, that is abusive behaviour.

Do you have trouble understanding that you are an abusive person? The Thrill Kill you describe is not a very useful person at all. That is why I relate to you so much.
