From Bullets To Billions novel Chapter 635

Chapter 635: Getting A Loan (Part 1)

During the short span of time Max had been given, his single, precious minute of reprieve, it was an incredibly intense period for him. He was standing on the edge of a precipice, and he knew it. A definitive way to win the fight was what he needed to figure out, and he had to do it before the clock ran out. With the relentless use of the Exoskeleton by his opponent, and with the high probability that everyone else was exhausted from their own individual fights, the pressure was absolute.

Max understood that if he didn’t manage to take down Ramon right here, the man could likely defeat all of the rangers himself. In that scenario, every single thing Max had worked for, every bit of progress he had struggled to build, would have simply disappeared in a single, crushing moment.

So many thoughts went through his head as he stood there, his mind racing at a feverish pace. He had to be realistic: what could he actually do in a single minute? As he sifted through his options, he realized there was an answer. There was one quick way for him to get stronger, something that only he could do because of the unique nature of his power, and that was to earn money.

As he pulled out his phone to check his status, he saw the notification he had been waiting for. He could see that Aron had transferred over 100 million of his own personal wealth over to Max’s account. That was exactly how Max had obtained that sudden boost he felt the last time he stepped back onto the stage.

It was surprising to Max, in a way, that Aron even had that much wealth to begin with. He was doing a job like this, providing protection, but then Max realized the deeper truth. Aron was his adopted brother into the family, and that realization made it more clear that everything Aron had done up to this point was out of a sense of deep obligation rather than him seeing it as just a job. The money Aron had sent was most likely every penny he had saved from his work, combined with whatever the real Max’s parents would have given him over the years.

Max considered his next move. He had used a specific method multiple times before to win difficult fights, and his usual go-to strategy was to gamble. He would typically find an underground casino and bet 10 million on a 50/50 shot, like red or black on a roulette wheel. But that was the issue he faced now. 10 million was the cap that Max could find a casino willing to let him bet in one single go, even among those that operated in the lawless underground.

With the situation as it was now, and the sheer amount of wealth Max had already accumulated, the math didn’t add up for a small bet. If he had doubled the ten million to twenty million, it was unlikely to increase his power to the level he truly needed to crush the Exoskeleton once and for all.

Max’s Current Funds: $1,676,380,000

If the quickest way for him to gain money was what he needed, and he absolutely had to get it within this incredibly short time frame, then there was only one person that came to his mind. There was one person he knew who had a massive amount of money and the power to move it instantly.

Pulling out his phone again, he made the call. He stared at the screen as it dialed, and it only took two rings for the person on the other end to answer.
