The hosts came out firing after the interval scoring two tries in the first eight minutes, despite being a man down due to Duncan Paia'aua's yellow card.
The first came in the 43rd minute when milestone man Smith, who forced three turnovers in the first half, received a lineout from Rob Simmons and cut through the Kings defence before exchanging passes with Scott Higginbotham to get over the line at the second attempt.
Five minutes later, Hendrik Tui burrowed over Penxe before passing the ball to Nabuli who raced over untouched for his second try of the game.
Schreuder then dived over from close range for the Kings in the 51st minute but it was a brief respite as Hunt collected Cooper's kick three minutes later and raced under the posts for another five pointer.
Perese scored his first try in Super Rugby when Reds fullback Hunt took on James Tuttle's pass and drew the last man before feeding the young winger.
Three minutes later Perese had his second after Hunt collected Cooper's cross- field penalty from inside his own 22 and ran to the halfway line before feeding the Reds' No.14 to run untouched under the posts.
This was not the end of the scoring as three tries in eight minutes made the scoreline respectable for the visitors and gave the Reds a scare.
