One Helluva Time

The Forth V

July, 2007

It's been ten years since Y/n had gotten revenge on Joseph Aiuppa. And he was definitely much happier because of it too. At first, Y/n kept up with business like he usually did the first few years. But it wasn't until the turn of the century that changed things. You see, on New Years Day in 2000, Lucifer had abolished Sinners restrictions to the Pride Ring. That meant Sinners could freely travel through the other Rings of Hell at any time. The only exception being that they were magically brought back to the Pride Ring for the annual Extermination.

Other than that, Sinners and Overlords could travel to any Ring of Hell they wanted. But they had to pay for a Hellpass, which was a passport which tracked the owners location. And if a Sinner who owned one died, then it would burn to ash. Likely so no one could try to use it to avoid the yearly Extermination. Needless to say, Vox and Valentino weren't to certain to getting one. But Y/n saw an opportunity to expand his drug operations to the other Rings of Hell. Something that he had wasted no time in doing once he got his Hellpass.

The Wrath Ring was were most of the food of Hell came from and home to the Imps. But it was a mix of farms, wastelands, old mines, and volcanoes. And Y/n was debating if he should try to grow drugs there or not. A debate that he had yet to really fully decide on at the moment. Then there was the Gluttony Ring, which is home to the Hellhounds. The Ring was full of all sorts of bakeries, restaurants, bars, and clubs. All of which was used to get people drunk and high of indulging based desires. It was like one big party that never ends, and perfect for selling drugs.

Then there was the Greed Ring, the worst one by far. Y/n went their once, and it was only to make a connection with a mob boss there. The Greed Ring was full of crappy buildings and real expensive shit. And it's filled to the brim with criminals, scammers, and con men alike. The Greed Ring is pretty much a crooks wet dream in some way or another. While Y/n was happy to have the connection there, he hoped to avoid Greed as much as possible. He even found out there was some rip off theme park there. One that Y/n planned on avoiding at all costs for as long as possible.

Then there was Lust, home to Succubi, Incubi, and sex. The Lust Ring was like one big sex club, that's all there really is to say. Sure, there were regular bars, restaurants, and apartments there. But most of them had some sort of a sex room or something. Though that didn't stop Y/n from getting some demons to sell drugs there. And it probably won't stop Valentino from opening up his own club there one day. The other two Rings of Hell, Sloth and Envy, were a different story. Envy was pretty much just an ocean with it's inhabitants living underwater. And Sloth sold all sorts of drugs for medical supplies, so they were both out.

At the moment, Y/n was at V Tower over in Pentagram City. He got a call from Vox about an important meeting they had to hold. Y/n wasn't sure what the meeting was about, but it was urgent according to Vox. So Y/n made his way to the meeting room with some coffee and donuts. It was early in the morning, so Y/n figured he get some for the meeting. And his favorite coffee shop in Pentagram City was having a half off sale. So there was no way he was going to miss out on a great deal. After walking into the meeting, he passed out the coffee to Vox and Valentino, who were both already there waiting.

Y/n: Sorry I'm late, favorite coffee shop had a half off sale going on. Figured that I would bring some coffee and donuts.

Vox: Thanks, now onto business.

Valentino: Which is?

Vox: We're going to recruit a new member to our group.

This had caught Y/n and Valentino both by surprise. The three of them were already pretty powerful as it was. Considering they all had control of several successful businesses. So the fact that Vox wanted to recruit a forth member was shocking. And it brought up several questions between Val and Y/n. Such as who this person was, what they'd bring to the table, and so on. Though they both knew that it was easier said than done. Especially since there had to be some sort of catch involved. In situations like this, there was always one in some way.
