From Bullets To Billions novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: A Wave Of Wealth (Part 1)

When the Clapton Alliance and West Brinhurst schools returned, they didn’t hesitate, they immediately chose to comply with Max’s request.

Delinquents from high schools across the city had begun showing up at the gyms. Each one of them had purchased clothing, official gear that represented their allegiance.

Although West Brinhurst was known to be under the control of just two students, in truth, it was made up of eight separate high schools spread across the district. With such a wide range, Print and Erik were slightly concerned. They figured they’d constantly have to cross over to the east side if they wanted to use the official Bloodline gyms.

But then, something unexpected happened.

The local gyms in West Brinhurst began to rebrand themselves, one by one, transforming into official Bloodline Gyms.

Print and Erik couldn’t believe their eyes.

They hadn’t reached out to Max. They hadn’t made any formal request. Yet, the shift was unmistakable. Each gym bore the unmistakable logo, the exact same one plastered on the uniforms and gym wear they had seen earlier. It was the same emblem Max had chosen for the Billion Bloodline brand.

That was when it hit them: these gyms were part of the same network. Part of Max’s ever-growing web.

The ripple effect came faster than anyone could have anticipated.

As students across all the affiliated schools began buying and wearing the newly released uniforms, the wave it created was larger than anything Max himself had expected. The streets were filled with students proudly showing off their matching outfits, the designs tailored with bold lines and unique flair.

Suddenly, it wasn’t just a school or street thing.

University students, and even those who had recently graduated, started to take notice. Some were former delinquents themselves. Others just liked the energy, the sense of movement behind it all. There was something magnetic about the way the students moved, unified, wearing the same symbol like a badge of honor.

It helped that the clothing wasn’t just symbolic, it looked genuinely good. There were different cuts, different styles, some clean and sleek, others more rugged or bold. Something for everyone.

Soon, it wasn’t just fighters or street kids picking up the gear. Regular gym-goers, fitness junkies, even influencers began showing up in Bloodline attire. It had crossed the line from being a school-based trend into a full-blown streetwear phenomenon.

And then, of course, came the rumors.

People started whispering that those who wore the Billion Bloodline uniform, regardless of whether they were real members or not, weren’t getting picked on. They weren’t getting targeted. Fights seemed to skip right past them. Problems that usually followed certain students seemed to vanish the moment they put the gear on.

At first, it sounded like just another urban legend. But over time, it became clear that it wasn’t just hearsay.

People were noticing the pattern. No one messed with those who wore the emblem. And the reason was simple: no one could tell who was actually in the group and who was just wearing the clothes for the look. And because of that uncertainty, it was safer to leave anyone dressed in Bloodline gear completely alone.

What had started as a way to unite the schools under Max’s banner had turned into something far greater.

A full-blown trend.

Soon, social media platforms were buzzing with people posting their fits. YouTubers began making content about the mysterious rise of the merch and the sudden transformation of local gyms. Their thumbnails featured bold titles like "Where Did Billion Bloodline Come From?" or "Secret Group Running These Gyms?!"
