What is the meaning of 「さいってー」 in the following dialogue?

Context: before this scene, the character on the left has just explained to
his accomplice on the right why he decided to betray and kill some of their
friends, the scene ends after the dialogue above. I know that さ means
something like "well" when used alone, but I've never heard of さいってー. Is it a
synonym of さて?. Thank you for your help!

Meaning of 「さいってー」 as an interjection
I believe that it's a form of 最{さい}低{てい} - the lowest. Which means something
along the lines of 'that sucks' or 'you suck'

answer
It definitely means 最低, pronounced さいてい. Writing it this way emphasis on the
slang way of speaking of the character, especially with the っ. The author
could have written it 最低, which is the proper way of writing it this word, but
it would have less power. Remember as well that in Japanese the えい is exactly
pronounced the same way as えー.
