From Bullets To Billions novel Chapter 591

Chapter 591: The First Attack

Eventually, after a frantic and chaotic scramble, Ramon was successfully able to make it out of the research facility.

He hadn’t fled empty-handed. He had ruthlessly stripped the labs, taking all the proprietary tech he had personally overseen the creation of, along with several other key members of the Gilt Rats who had been operating undercover as researchers.

Legitimate corporate security within the facility had naturally been called in to stop him, but the situation was already out of Bobo’s control. There were far more people secretly on the Gilt Rats’ payroll than Bobo had ever anticipated. These moles actively sabotaged the lockdown protocols and created distractions, allowing Ramon and his inner circle to escape the perimeter rather easily.

When Ramon finally got back to his fortified manor on the edge of Notting Hill, dragging the stolen equipment with him, his face was contorted with unbridled fury. The humiliation of being outplayed by Max Stern in front of his peers was burning a hole in his pride.

However, as he entered his private garage, he noticed something else that was waiting there as well—something that instantly shifted his mood from blind rage to cold, calculating anticipation.

’The required equipment has finally arrived in time,’ Ramon said aloud, a dark smile spreading across his face as he used a crowbar to pry open one of the massive wooden shipping crates. He looked down to see all of the high-tech, interlocking metal parts gleaming in the dim light.

’I’ll call over the elite strike team immediately. With this fresh shipment of hardware, we can have at least seven of my best men fully outfitted with the combat exoskeleton parts.’

He ran a hand over a hydraulic gauntlet.

’Unfortunately, because of the rushed timeline Max forced on us, only I will personally be able to use the complete, full-body exoskeleton suit in time for this initial strike. But honestly? To take out an upstart group like the Billion Bloodline, seven enhanced soldiers should be more than enough. It will be a slaughter. And then, once I crush Max and seize his assets, I’ll easily have the liquid funds to give the entirety of the Gilt Rats exactly what they need to rule this city.’

Still, because of how much the Billion Bloodline group had already gotten in his way, and knowing full well the bad blood and history that existed between the groups, Ramon decided not to leave anything to chance. He pulled out his encrypted phone and made a priority call.

On the other end of the line, Darius, the ruthless leader of the Black Hounds, answered.

"Listen to me very carefully, Darius," Ramon barked, skipping any pleasantries. "Get the Black Hounds mobilized immediately. I want you to violently disrupt and take total control of every single part of the business empire that the Billion Bloodline group is currently operating in."

Ramon paced around the open crates. "Whether it be their legitimate front businesses or their underground activities, I want it all burned or taken. I’m guessing they quietly took over the Chalkline Boys’ old territory and businesses, as well as the remnants of the Rejected Corps. I want you to hit those locations hard. We will systematically stop all forms of cash flow that the Billion Bloodline group is relying on."

He gripped the phone tighter. "And while you bleed their businesses, we will take their main forces head-on as well. We are taking absolutely everything from them."

Ramon’s voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. "Then, when the dust settles and we take over their entire operation, we will finally have absolute, undisputed control of Notting Hill. And we will have as much money as we want to do whatever we want in this city!"

It was a terrifying alliance. The Gilt Rats, recognized as the largest, most powerful Syndicate in Notting Hill, and the Black Hounds, recognized as the largest and most brutal traditional Criminal Organization in the district, were now fully working together in a coordinated strike to completely wipe out one specific group.

Word travels fast in the underworld. All of the smaller street gangs, as well as other minor independent organizations that heard whispers of what was about to take place, went into hiding. The news of a mobilization this large was so massive that it couldn’t be contained; even rival groups operating entirely outside the district were hearing echoes of the impending bloodbath.

In particular, the shockwaves reached the ears of other major Syndicates. One such group, operating in a major city not too far away, was where the elite inner circle of the White Tiger group would gather.
