It hasn't been too long since  the raid on the Milton compound.   Finding Conrad Perno is easy. He has a reputation for being a cutthroat businessman.  He deals directly with rich people. He gets them in on all or nothing plans. This secures them into his pocket and it always pays out. 

He barely hides from prying eyes. Much like the Milton family. He has his own compound. But it's more like a trading center.  The only piece of legit business he has.   

Conrad actually invited Y/n to the compound. But his reasons are unknown. 
 

Y/n takes only Bo and the girls. 

They arrive at the compound and are escorted to  Conrad's office. 

When the group entered the office. They could see Conrad sitting at his desk.  He had Blonde hair and brown eyes.   

Y/n sat in the chair in front of the desk.

Conrad: Welcome.

Y/n: *seriously* Where is my daughter?

Conrad: She's safe, I assure you.  When the Matriarch came to me with a proposition, I knew what would happen.  It was obvious!  And I wasn't going to start a war.

Y/n: Then why did you take her?

Conrad: Because, the Matriarch would have done one of two things. Kill her, or give her to some black market pedo.  Besides, I figured that you could..."compensate" me.

Y/n: What do you want?

Conrad: I want to know how someone as young as you, got to lead a big syndicate?

Y/n: Fine. But on one special condition. Lose the bodyguards. This is sensitive information.

Conrad: Deal.

Guard: Boss!

Conrad: Shut it! Leave us!

The guards listened and left the room.

Y/n: Years ago, I was sold by my own parents into slavery. I watched a terrible man do horrible things to children. I was stuck in a cage for days with no way out.  But that man was burnt alive, with a shattered pelvis.

Conrad smirks.

Y/n: I was eventually shipped to a warehouse that was turned into their auction house. There the children would be bought and sent off. Those sick fucks did horrible things to children in there.  Let the rich bastards "test out" the merchandise.

Y/n grips the arms of his chair in anger. He calms himself.

Y/n: I had to listen to the screams for days. Luckily for me, I never had to experience being "tested out".  

Conrad: So you escaped?

Y/n: Rescued.  One day I could only hear the screams of those sick bastards.  They were being burnt alive. I like to think that none of them got off easy.  But on that day the person responsible for the foundation of my syndicate took me in.

Conrad: Does this "someone" have a name?

Y/n: Salem. 

Conrad: And why would she need someone like you?

Y/n: That is a long story. And it isn't mine to tell.

Conrad: Fair enough. 

At that point the door opened and little Alicina walked through. 

Alicina: Daddy!

Alicina jumped onto Y/n's half.

Y/n hugged his daughter tightly.

Conrad: I admit, her semblance is tricky. But I was able to get some people to make a pair of gloves that could withstand her acidic touch.   Perfectly flexible and should last a while.

Y/n: I'll be taking my leave then.

Y/n and co walked out the door and exited the compound. 

Conrad sits in his chair and sighs.

Conrad: So there is another situation.  

He motioned to one of his guards.

Conrad: You! Go get me my phone, I have a call to make.

The guard listened.

Y/n and co make it back to HQ. But celebrations would have to wait. It's almost time for the second part of the plan.  This means it's time to reconvene with Salem.

Y/n meets with Salem in her throne room. 

Y/n: Mistress.

Salem: It is time Y/n. I have waited a long time for this. 

Y/n: Your will be done, my mistress. 

Salem: Come to me, my love.

Y/n approaches Salem. Salem stands and embraces Y/n.

Salem: You have done better than I could have ever imagined. 

Y/n returned the hug.

Salem: Now. Let us begin, shall we? The vytal festival is about to get a rude awakening.

Y/n: I'll get my men together.

They parted and Y/n left. Salem sat down and smirked.
