The Devil's way of business

Chapter 20 : Hell's future

" By the way is the demon you talked about a sinner or a hellborn " " There a diference ? " " Yeah sinners are more troublesome even if they are light who knows what it would be like plus they are essentially humans who have died but hellborns are easier to deal with they are not as strong as sinners "

" Huh " ' Does this mean sinners are at the lower levels while the hellborns like Lebo are at the surface level and what does Lulu mean by sinners being more troublesome and stronger maybe I should ask more '

" Is there a reason for sinners to be stronger ? " " Yeah of course unlike hellborns sinners are basically humans in their second life so sinners get a head start while hellborns are like humans born in the human world by the way the magic community considers itself closer to sinners because of our initial memory it's why we have so much in common with the sinners hence why some humans don't like us before . "

Karma flips the beef slice thinking about it recalling how he would be busy " Hmm I'll have to do something about the organ transplant " " Why isn't it like the best doctors operating it ? " " No I meant I have to skip it ... looks like I have to take care of my body from now on "

" Huh is it because you want to die as a sinner ? " " Maybe ... actually that is a good idea " " What ? " " Lulu how well do you know about hell's hierarchy ? " " Uhhh Lucifer , lilith , the other demon prince , sinners and then hellborn "

" Hmm then how great is the growth potential of a sinner ? " " From what I heard they are very powerful but some are hiding their powers and there was the news about Lucifer taking hasty actions or something as well as the disappearance of the natural demons ... hey do you know something about it ? "

" Ehh what are you talking about ? " " You are smiling that is the smile of someone whose plans went well " Karma turned showing her his full smile " Oh dear me , Lulu can you keep what you found a secret " Lulu felt shivers as he motioned a gesture to keep her quiet .

" I-i will " " Appreciate it " ' The hell , is this why he invited me not that I can turn down his offer ' " So do you know who these sinners who are hiding their powers ? " Lulu looked at him and said " I recall a guy named Mike who controls animatronics coming after us but was restricted by Beelzebub "

The corners of Karma's mouth raised as he imagined how far Beelzebub was holding these sinners down " Oh how ? " " Something about a contract of being under Beelzebub "

' Does she know ? But considering how she doesn't know some things and even references the elders , the elders might be the only one who knows about Beelzebub's true identity '

" Huh seems like I got more information about the chief demon " " Hey you didn't call me just for barbeque right ? " " I did just call you for just barbeque but you keep making me curious " Karma said shifting the blame of the conversation to Lulu .

" Fine I won't talk and just eat your nasty marinated meat " " Relax I have more than one type of flavor that was one of the failed ones " " Then why did you ? " Karma gives a plate to Lulu as she stares at it .

" I promise that one will taste good " Lulu looked at the food and took a bite as her eyes sparkled " Wow it tastes amazing " " Of course it is it's got some stars " Karma takes a steak and takes his bite .

" Ahh of course you don't have to pay " " Then please excuse me " Lulu took the ones that were on the grill to her half-empty plate as she ate more ' Alright now then how will the sinners react when they learn Lucifer is panicking '

Karma looks at the news of hell as several hellborns are working and entering caves that initially lead to the giant pieces while some free sinners unbounded by contract are trying to reap profits or raise through the rankings as Mike feels the collar that represents his deal of selling his soul to Beelzebub " My isn't this amazing "
