From Bullets To Billions novel Chapter 579

Chapter 579: Big Money (Part 2)

Inside Bobo’s facility, Roman was currently present, standing in one of the upper labs as he finalized several orders. Screens glowed around him, listing materials, delivery timelines, and confidential equipment requests. He had just finished placing an order for a set of specialized components he needed to replicate his research when his phone rang again almost immediately after the previous call had ended.

He answered without hesitation.

As he listened, a slow smile spread across his face.

"Perfect," Roman said smoothly. "This still doesn’t quite make up for your failure from before, but it’s at least getting you there."

He didn’t give the other person a chance to respond. He simply ended the call.

A laugh escaped him, low at first, then louder.

"Hahah! Finally, it looks like some things are looking up for us."

He walked slowly around the lab, hands behind his back, his mind racing with possibilities.

"The investment money was ours to begin with," Roman muttered to himself. "But now having her commit even more of her own money to our cause... that was an easy win. I imagine that since she’s seeing interest in our facility, she’ll start pouring even more money in our direction."

His eyes gleamed with ambition.

"Now, we will have enough to create ten full exoskeleton suits."

That number alone was significant. Roman had already ordered much of the required material in advance because he had been confident his plan would succeed. He had anticipated this outcome. In his mind, there had never really been a scenario where it failed.

Still, even he understood the limitations.

"Ten isn’t going to be enough," he said, his voice lowering as he stared at the schematics on the screen. "I’ve heard the numbers of superhumans that are in existence... and the power of some of the other organizations."

His jaw tightened slightly.

"We’re going to need to be able to mass-produce this for everyone in the Gilt Rats. And to do that..." His gaze shifted around the lab space. "We’ll have to take this entire facility for ourselves."

There was only one lingering concern in the back of Roman’s mind.

The Billion Bloodline.

He remembered them visiting the facility. It hadn’t gone unnoticed. They were observant. Strategic.

Most likely, they had poured some amount of money into the place as well.

However, Roman doubted their reach.

Could the Billion Bloodline Group really get in their way once again?

He didn’t think so.

This was the final piece he needed to put into place before removing the large thorn in his side once and for all.

Elsewhere, Karen found herself standing in front of the Billion Bloodline building once again.

It was a place she truly hadn’t expected to return to so often, yet somehow she had been coming back more frequently than she ever imagined.

As she walked through the entrance, her expression continuously shifted. A smile tugged at her lips one moment, only for her eyebrows to furrow the next. Her eyes twitched slightly as conflicting emotions warred inside her.

She was happy. Of course she was.

She was about to get her building back.

But at the same time, why should she feel happy when the Billion Bloodline Group was selling it for such a high price? Even if she regained ownership, the situation wasn’t truly over. Everything hinged on one critical factor.

The Gilt Rats had to be dealt with.
