From Bullets To Billions Novels & Stories

“Why not?” “I just… I need one last shot.” I shook my head, but I still fetched my checkbook ripping out a page, I handed it to him. “That’s another five million, Caleb. Don’t let me down. If you screw this up, you can count me out.” My tone held a level of finality as I looked him in the eye.

The baby’s above you…’ We look back at the doorway to see that another banner has been let down and the previous banner is on the floor alongside a bullet. This one says, ‘I hear you’re looking for 500 billion. So pick. The bullet or the money?’

Everyone was dumbfounded! Jerry Daco cursed, “fuck! show yourself!” I’ll skin you alive!” He was enraged. this was unforgivable! The silence was his answers and the sounds of bullets flying through the air continued. Soon, a minute had passed. A total of five killing machines had been shot cleanly through the head. They were the pride and achievement of the Daco family. They had spent billions on each of them but now, they were actually killed by a mere bullets.

He was extremely disappointed in them. “Damn man, you guys left free money behind for someone else. The stash of bullets required for that divine battle art used by that soldier alone is worth over 200,000 credits. Not including Cruz, you could use them as he was using the Elemental Bullet Barrage divine battle art,” he muttered in a pained tone. On hearing him said that and analyzing the words, Cruz felt the worst. He suddenly felt sick as he was also learning the Elemental Bullet Barrage. What a wasted opportunity, he would have probably received the bullets.

Kambiri replied "It's alright," He said. "So they gave you guys these pistols? I wish the bullets can ever finish, it is a very dangerous gun" Kamdiri said as he picks up the pistol which was on top of the ground and closed to him. "Yes, the pistol is special, billions of dollars were squandered in making of this pistol, the bullets don't run dry, you don't fix bullets to it," One of the men on black said. "Wow, we really have great equipment to attack the Vanguard city, which will be happening soon," Kambiri said in excitement.

Or even more accurately, did they invent money in their house? Even Sharon didn't seem ready to accept defeat yet. "11 million," she said, even though her voice had lost its confidence. And everyone waited, even Hailey's heart was pounding. They all waited for the blonde as if their next breath depended on it. "One Billion." That was brutal. Hailey's jaw dropped and she blinked again and again. She hadn't heard wrong, right? Who the hell was this mysterious lady?

“W…where d…did you get…” “A gun?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. Was she this stupid? “Don't all rich folks have them? Licensed ones.” She swallowed and I checked for more bullets. “Shit, I only have one left,” I murmured. “Better make good use of it this time.” She choked, unable to breathe out a word as I returned the aim to her, this time I made sure the metal was touching her forehead. “Please, you wouldn't kill me for her. It's murder. I…I am still young and…” she said then swallowed.

His mechanical claw opened and closed, a nervous tic. "REWARD FOR CAPTURE OR CONFIRMED TERMINATION:" The number that flashed on the screen was so large it didn't look real. It looked like a phone number. "10,000,000,000 UNIVERSAL CREDITS." Ten billion. It was enough to buy this entire city. It was enough to buy a small country. It was enough to make a saint murder his own mother. "ADDITIONAL BOUNTIES: 1 BILLION PER ACCOMPLICE."

Yet my throat felt too tight for any sound to emerge. The numbers continued to rise until they no longer sounded real to me. Millions turned to billions, and eventually the announcer lifted a hand, repeating the latest offer of one hundred billion dollars with dramatic satisfaction. I thought perhaps that would be the end of it. No one in the hall seemed eager to challenge such a monstrous amount, and for one brief second I foolishly believed the nightmare had reached its highest point. Then a deep voice cut cleanly through the silence. “Eight hundred billion.” Every head in the room turned.

Such was the power of the Eldor Four. Leonard was surprised as well, but he scoffed at the other three men. "One billion and two hundred million." Wilbur's head was starting to hurt. These guys were out of their mind. "One billion and three hundred million." "One billion and four hundred million." "One billion and five hundred million." Leonard got to his feet. "One billion and six hundred million."
