Max leaned back in his leather chair, staring at the glowing monitor on his desk. He was pulling up the complete financial spreadsheet for the Billion Bloodline, tracking the passive income rolling into their main account.
It was getting ridiculous. He had conquered so many profitable businesses over the last few weeks that his wealth was growing automatically by the hour. And in his world, wealth directly translated to physical strength through his Vow. The only problem was the scaling. Because his current net worth was already so massive, the steady drip of daily profits barely made a dent in his power. To get a real, explosive upgrade, he needed to absorb a massive lump sum of cash all at once.
Maybe I should have just forced Donto's hand and stripped him of his bank accounts when I had the chance, Max thought, tapping a pen against his desk. But with the other two Sterns moving in the shadows, I guess a better opportunity to steal their capital will show up later anyway.
