From Bullets To Billions novel Chapter 642

Chapter 642: Fallen Rose

A bright, beautiful pink-haired woman was walking through the lush local park. It was spring, and the white flower petals were drifting down from the trees like snow; it was quite the sight to behold. Eventually, the woman continued her stroll until she reached the edge of the large lake in the center of the park.

She looked down into the still water and could see the reflection of her own face staring back, only it wasn’t the face she was used to seeing. It wasn’t the face she had been born with.

’I need to stop slipping up,’ Abby thought to herself, her reflection wavering with the ripples in the water. ’My name is Vera now. I am the leader of the Fallen Rose Group... a strange biker gang... and apparently one of the most infamous in the entire world.’

When she said these words to herself, Abby could feel her heart beating rapidly against her ribs. When she had died as Abby, she had been suddenly thrown into this new life, as if by some cruel twist of fate. She had been forced into the hierarchy of a gang, but not just as a foot soldier—she was the undisputed leader of the entire group.

Since her arrival in this body, she had been forced to quickly pick up a number of things. She had to learn how the group interacted with each other and how to make tough, split-second decisions that didn’t just affect her, but affected the lives of everyone under her command. Somehow, some way, her group had managed to find success in their various scuffles and turf wars despite her internal confusion.

She had witnessed it firsthand: they would all climb onto their motorcycles and ride off in a roaring pack. They would enter mahjong parlors with an air of authority, or head to homeless park hangout spots to meet with other rival groups. The fighting was nearly continuous, a constant cycle of violence and territory.

For Abby herself, inhabiting this new body, she rarely had to take an active part in the street brawls. This was because she had witnessed how incredibly skilled the Fallen Rose members truly were. They were all masters at using their signature wooden swords—weapons they handled with such precision that no one could get close to them, even if they were facing physically stronger, larger men.

However, at certain points, there were those enemies who managed to break through the front lines. When that happened, Abby was forced to show her hand. In doing so, she discovered she was using a level of physical strength she never realized she possessed. This body was a weapon in its own right.

With everything that had happened since her "rebirth," it was a surprise to her that she had never been caught or exposed as an impostor. She played it smart, hardly saying much during meetings and simply listening to everything that was said around her to gather information. When people called her out for acting strange or distant, she would simply blame it on her drinking.

Apparently, the original Vera was a heavy drinker who acted erratically when intoxicated. This was the way Vera—or rather, Abby—had managed to get away with not knowing much about her own organization. Apparently, Vera was a leader who led through her own overwhelming strength and intimidation more than any other leadership trait.
