From Bullets To Billions novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456: The Wall and the Wolf

Jett’s presence was undeniable. He was like a wall of muscle that had just entered the top deck of the ship. His size and muscular features caused people to turn their heads instantly, and he also made sure to wear a tight fighting shirt that emphasized his physique.

It wasn’t just to show off his muscles like most muscle heads. For Jett, it was to show off a particular type of muscle he was incredibly proud of: the strength he had in his forearms and fingers. Nearly every strand of muscle could be seen as he wiggled his fingers about; there was next to no fat on his forearm at all, suggesting a crushing, unnatural grip.

It caused everyone to look, no matter what their status was. As he had entered the venue as well, quite a few of the guests seemed to know him, as they started to greet him and called his name over with deference.

It was strange, the interactions. Even though all the people here were powerful in their own right, powerful within their own worlds, the way they were talking to Jett, it was almost as if they were trying to win his favor, or they were outright afraid of him.

’It makes me wonder if they’ve seen him fight or not, I guess that’s why they are acting a certain way?’ Max thought, analyzing the power dynamic. He remembered the main thing about Jett was his incredible grip strength, and the second was his sheer durability. Going up against him in a way, almost felt the same as going up against Hercules, an unrelenting force.

"Of all the people, it had to be him right?" Darno commented, his voice low, acknowledging their shared bad luck. "I mean he’ll definitely remember Stephen the moment he sees him."

"He might know our faces, but the rest don’t, so it’s good to cover up anyway," Max answered, his gaze tracking Jett’s movements. "And I thought this might happen, that someone powerful would be here to make sure there is a leash on us. So I at least expected this." The presence of a high-level enforcer was a calculated risk.

A part of Max was hoping that they would send Jett to where Chad was, hoping that Jett would be tied up elsewhere, making it one less immediate problem for them to deal with.

"Do you think that he’ll take part in the matches as well?" Stephen gulped. Although confident in himself, and knowing he had grown stronger, he still had fresh in his memory how all of them together were unable to take this man down. The memory was a cold reality check.

"Maybe if we force their hand and win a bit too much, they would use that to recoup their money," Max answered, considering the financial side of the Black Hounds.

"Well that’s simple then right?" Darno immediately jumped in. "If Jett’s fighting against Stephen then we just bet on Jett."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence," Stephen replied, feeling defeated by his own team member’s practical assessment.

"Hey," Max interjected firmly. "I wouldn’t do that Stephen, remember what I said before, I trust you...and let’s just hope it doesn’t come to that." Max’s reassurance carried weight, an investment in Stephen’s capability.
