From Bullets To Billions novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Swap Clothes

The memories of Wolf were still fresh in both Joe and Jay’s minds.

They remembered their trip to Notting Hill City, meeting the members of the Pit for the first time. How they’d been backed into a corner, forced to fight just to survive. But what stood out the most... was Wolf.

The way he fought against Dipter and his crew was unforgettable. Wild. Relentless. Unpredictable.

There was no doubt, he was powerful. But thinking of him as an ally? That was something else entirely. The moment they saw him at the school gate, it put them both on edge.

Had someone hired him to come after them?

"Wait, why are we scared?" Joe said suddenly, trying to hype himself up. "This is our school, and he’s on his own!"

He took a step forward, but immediately realized something was off.

His whole body was trembling from head to toe.

What’s wrong with me? he thought, teeth clenched. Is it because of that fight with Dud? I lost to Max and didn’t feel like this. Even when Ko beat me, I wasn’t shaking. So why now?

Meanwhile, Jay didn’t hesitate. He stepped forward confidently, standing beside Max at the front of the school.

Wolf was already waiting, hands in his pockets, that same laid-back smile on his face.

"So I’m here, just like you asked," he said. "But it feels like someone’s a little scared of me?"

His eyes slid over to Joe.

"Don’t tease my people," Max said, his tone sharp.

"We’re here to help each other. They deserve your respect, just like they’ll give it to you."

"Right, right," Wolf replied casually, still smiling. "You’re the boss, at least in this situation, for now. I’m not here to tease."

He paused, glancing around.

"Came as soon as you made the call. But I gotta say... I’m surprised you wanted to meet here of all places. You sure it’s a good look, having everyone see you standing with me?"

As more students filed out of the school, it didn’t take long for them to notice Wolf.

He was impossible to miss, wild hair, strange energy, and a fashion sense that looked like he’d raided the baby section of a thrift store.

But there was something else about him too. Something people were only just starting to pick up on.

"Who’s that guy?" one girl whispered.

"He’s hot," another replied, eyes lingering a little too long. "I’ve never seen him before... and that smile?"

"I’d let him pin me against the wall and do whatever he wanted," another girl giggled, a little too loudly.

The comments weren’t subtle, and as the girls passed by, they burst into laughter, clearly not trying to hide their interest.

Joe’s mouth dropped open in disbelief.

"Really? This is what girls are into now?" he blurted, staring at Wolf. For a second, he actually considered switching up his own look.

"Is it the clothes?" Joe muttered, tugging on his uniform. "That’s gotta be it, right?"

"Wait, why me?!" Joe protested, gripping his school blazer like it was made of gold. "Why do I have to give up myuniform?"

"Didn’t you just say you wanted to try his style?" Jay reminded him, grinning. "Here’s your chance to swap."

"Max, I’m glad you’re paying me and all," Joe grumbled from behind the wall of bodies, "but just so you know, I’m doing this because you asked me, not because of the money."

Max smirked at the comment. Lately, all he’d heard was that money did solve everything. So which was it?

After a quick and clumsy change, both were finally dressed, Joe now in Wolf’s bizarre outfit, and Wolf in the clean-cut school uniform. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}
