THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 20
The chief gave Ethan an appreciative nod, turning to the stunned officer and instructor with a smirk.“You two really picked the wrong ‘kid’ to mess with,” he said, chuckling.“This is no ordinary young man. Ethan here is the heir of the Elliot family—a trillionaire, to be precise.”The instructor’s face went slack, his jaw dropping. He looked between Ethan and the chief, his face pale with disbelief.“Wait… what?” he stammered, blinking as if he’d seen a ghost. “A trillionaire? This kid?”Ethan crossed his arms, a small smirk forming on his face.“Surprise,” he said casually, tilting his head slightly.“Turns out the ‘little punk’ you punched is worth a bit more than you thought.”The officer, still kneeling, turned a desperate shade of green.“Chief, I… I had no idea! I swear, I thought he was just… a college kid,” he babbled, trying to save face. “Ethan… Mr. Elliot… sir… I was… uh… just… testing your resilience!”“Oh, so assault was your way of giving me a resilience test?” Ethan

Sanaya greeted me with relief and thanks shining on her face."Thank you, Ethan. Really, for challenging that instructor. I never would have had the confidence to accomplish it by myself. But to you, I can at last feel comfortable here."Ethan grinned and waved it aside. "It's nothing, really.These days, the school is a safe venue. You ought to be able to study without regard to fear."She smiled, her eyes brilliant. Indeed, lastingly! Girls who like me won't have to worry about that weirdo any longer. She stopped, her face becoming reflective."How about me thanking you with a drink purchase? Least I can do is this.""Drinks are on you?" Ethan nodded, following along."That is an invitation I cannot refuse now.Sanaya ordered several drinks and flashed a lighthearted grin as they settled at the bar. And no arguments—these drinks are on me.Ethan nodded, laughed."All right, you twisted my arm."Clinking drinks, they savored the vibrant scene and laughter filling the pub. But their jo

"How dare you to punch me," the gangster’s shock quickly turned to fury.He wiped a trickle of blood from his lip, a dark glint in his eyes, and whistled sharply. "Do you know who I am?" He clenched his teeth. "Yes a bastard." With a smirk, Ethan answered back."I am the Marvol, Black snake Mafia group." Almost right away, several guys jumped up from nearby tables and crowded around Ethan.One of the gangster's bodyguards stepped forward and clenched his hands. "Are you okay, boss?"As Marvol ran his hand over his hurt jaw, he laughed.The sound was deep and scary. He laughed and looked at Ethan with a mean look in his eyes."Oh, I'm better than good," he said. "Stop this jerk." He should have known what would happen if he crossed me.Two of Marvol's men grabbed Ethan by the arms and threw him to the ground.Ethan struggled and looked boldly at Marvol as his muscles tensed up.At that moment, Marvol leaned in close and smiled."You really thought you could handle me, right?""Thou

It was tense in the bar, and there was a strange silence as Marvol clenched his hands and looked at Ethan with narrowed eyes."What did you say to me?" Marvol hissed, and his anger was clear. "You dare say it again."Marvol's anger didn't bother Ethan; he just smiled. "I told you to open your hands." Or are you too scared?" He laughed in a calm voice. "You're not really a man, are you?"That was all it took. Marvol swung his fist and hit Ethan in the jaw with a hard punch. Ethan tripped and fell, but he got up quickly and wiped a small amount of blood from his lip. After that, he spat on Marvol's face right away.Ethan made fun of him and said, "You should be ashamed of yourself calling yourself a man.Your outfit might look better if you wore a dress, lipstick, and a baby's pacifier.That would work better for you.”Marvol's angry face changed shape. "You little worm, you've hurt my feelings now. You have no idea who you're in touch with. Your boss won't let you leave here alive."He

“WHERE IS THE BASTARD?” The mafia boss yelled.The pub grew silent as the doors swung open, and in stepped the mafia boss, his dark eyes sweeping the room like a storm on the horizon."Boss, here is the bastard." With a wave of his hand, the usual ruckus ceased, patrons scrambling to clear the space. But Marvol, standing with a smirk plastered across his face, interjected.“Boss, let everyone stay and watch,” he said, his voice laced with malice. “Let them see what happens when anyone dares to disrespect us. It'll make sure they never forget."The boss considered Marvol's suggestion with a cold grin and nodded, allowing the crowd to remain as an audience to the grim spectacle. He approached Ethan, who was doing his best to remain composed, though his eyes betrayed a flash of fear.Without warning, the boss grabbed Ethan’s collar, jerking him forward with enough force to knock the breath out of him. His grip was iron; Ethan felt every bit of the boss’s dominance as their faces cam

Anton Vargas, boss of the gang was hearing the other person very carefully on the phone. The room was tense. He began to sweat on his face, and his once-confident smirk turned into pure fear.His voice was shaking as he stuttered, "Y-yes... understood."As soon as the call finished, he was frozen in place.Everyone just stared in shock.Anton was very cocky just a moment ago, but now he looked like he was about to be put to death.He slowly turned to look at Ethan, but his face was pale.Anton got down on his knees and bowed his head, which shocked everyone.In a shaky voice, he begged Mr. Ethan, "Please forgive me.I had no idea... I didn't know—"There were whispers in the room. Anton's right-hand man, Marvol, blinked in shock."What the hell are you doing, boss?What a kid!"Anton gave him a look that was so intense that it made him stop talking.He yelled, "Shut up, Marvol!"He put his hands together and looked back at Ethan. "Please, sir. Don't punish me. I will do anything to fix

Anton sat back on his heels and wiped his forehead with a towel. "He's not the king." He said almost to himself,"He's worse."The bar fell silent as Lucas Nelson, the infamous "Cobra," bowed deeply before Ethan Elliot.Every eye in the room widened in disbelief, and the air grew thick with tension.Lucas’s voice, usually sharp and commanding, was humble, almost trembling."Young Master Elliot," Lucas said, his head lowered. "Forgive this disrespect. These fools—" he gestured to Anton and Marvol, who were now cowering on the floor—"didn’t know who they were dealing with."Ethan raised an eyebrow, his expression cool and detached."I can see that, Lucas. You let this kind of garbage represent you?"Lucas’s face flushed with shame."Never again, Young Master. I swear they’ll regret ever being born."Anton, trembling, crawled forward on his knees."Boss, I swear I didn’t know! Please, I didn’t mean any harm!"Lucas’s face darkened, and without warning, he kicked Anton in the ribs, sendin
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 27
The stress could be felt in the bar. Lucas Nelson, better known as "Cobra," knelt next to his whining assistant Anton and bowed his head in shame. His vibe, which was usually sharp and scary, had changed into that of a man who was begging for forgiveness. Marvol, who was so proud before, was now lying on the floor with his face on the sticky wood.As Lucas looked at Marvol, his voice was a mix of anger and respect. "Your family's security guard? Small amounts of money for the Elliots. Idiot!""The whole thing wouldn't even make up 0.1% of their business interests.”When Marvol realized how bad his mistake was, he started to cry and hit the floor over and over with his face. "Please excuse me, young Master Elliot! Do not waste my life! I promise I didn't know! I had no idea!"Ethan leaned back against the bar and sipped his soda with a cool air about him. He looked at the man who was groveling with a cold, bored look. "Didn’t know?" When Ethan said it again, his voice was calm b

CHAPTER 167
The SUV sped through the city streets, Ethan and Harris in the front seats while a small team of guards followed close behind.The protective custody safe house was located on the outskirts of town, a modest building surrounded by unmarked police vehicles.Harris checked his weapon.“If Lawrence’s people know about this guy, they’ll hit hard. We need to be ready.”Ethan nodded, his thoughts racing.This witness could be the key to unraveling Lawrence’s entire operation. I can’t let him slip through my fingers.As they approached the safe house, the first signs of trouble appeared.One of the police vehicles was parked at an odd angle, its driver-side door open.Harris’s voice was tense. “Something’s wrong.”Ethan’s eyes narrowed. “Stay sharp.”The team entered the safe house cautiously, weapons drawn.The interior was eerily quiet, the faint hum of a television the only sound.“Clear the rooms,” Harris ordered.Ethan moved toward the back of the house, his instincts on high alert.He
CHAPTER 166
The soft glow of the mansion’s command room monitors reflected in Ethan’s eyes as he sifted through the mountain of information Harper had compiled.The more he learned about Lawrence’s activities, the tighter the knot in his stomach grew.“Shell companies,” Harper explained, pointing to a series of interconnected entities on the screen.“Dozens of them, all siphoning resources from Elliot Enterprises’ subsidiaries over the past decade.”Ethan’s jaw tightened.“How did this go unnoticed for so long?”“They were careful,” Harper replied.“Each transaction was small, spread out over multiple accounts. But when you piece it all together…”Harris leaned over the table, his expression grim.“It’s a fortune. Enough to bankroll The Black Hawk’s resurgence—and then some.”Ethan’s mind raced.Lawrence wasn’t just feeding The Black Hawk information—he was using the company to fund their operations. He’s been bleeding us dry from the inside.Lisa, seated beside him, shook her head in disbelief.
CHAPTER 165
Harper tapped on her tablet, bringing up historical records.“I did some digging on Lawrence. He disappeared from public view about twenty years ago. Before that, he worked in the financial sector, hopping between companies. Nothing criminal on record, but a lot of shady deals.”“Fits the profile,” Harris said.“He’s been operating in the shadows, feeding The Black Hawk intel to weaken us.”Lisa crossed her arms, her tone sharp.“And we didn’t see it until now because he’s been a ghost. A phantom moving just out of sight.”Ethan stared at the photograph of Lawrence included in the will—a younger man with sharp features and piercing eyes.You’ve been watching us this entire time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. But now, it’s my turn.“What else do we know about him?” Ethan asked.Harper swiped through her tablet.“Not much. He has no fixed address, no known associates. But if he’s working with The Black Hawk remnants, they might be hiding him.”Harris frowned.“We need to flu
CHAPTER 164
Ethan’s eyes scanned the pages, each word deepening the knot in his stomach.“I, Robert Elliot,” the will began, “leave this record to reveal truths I could not in life. To my family, I hope you find it in your hearts to forgive me.”The document went on to detail Robert’s secret dealings with The Black Hawk, admitting that he had maintained ties with the organization long after their supposed betrayal.Lisa’s voice was soft but urgent.“He never severed ties? Why?”Ethan’s jaw tightened.“He claimed it was for the good of the family. He thought he could control them, keep them in check.”But as Ethan read further, his hands trembled. The will revealed something even more shocking—a mention of an undisclosed heir.“To my heirs,” the document read, “there is one among you who may not bear the Elliot name but is nonetheless tied to our bloodline. I leave it to you to protect them, for their connection to The Black Hawk is not of their choosing.”Lisa gasped.“An undisclosed heir? Someon
CHAPTER 163
The black SUV rolled to a halt outside an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.The structure was weathered, its metal siding rusted and its windows shattered, but the faint signal from the bug traced back to this very spot.Ethan stepped out, flanked by Harris and Lisa.The cold night air carried a heavy sense of foreboding as Ethan adjusted his earpiece.“Harper,” Ethan said quietly, scanning the darkened surroundings, “we’re at the location. Anything I should know?”“Signal’s strong,” Harper replied.“It’s definitely coming from inside. Be careful—this place hasn’t been on the grid for years, but someone’s been using it recently.”Ethan nodded and turned to Harris.“Take point. Lisa, stay close to me.”Lisa gave him a determined look.“I’m not going anywhere.”The interior of the warehouse was a stark contrast to its dilapidated exterior. Dust-covered crates and machinery were scattered throughout, but a makeshift desk at the center of the space caught Ethan’s attention
CHAPTER 162
Harris entered the room, his posture stiff. His usual air of quiet professionalism was tinged with something sharper—discontent.“Sir,” Harris began, “we need to talk.”Ethan gestured for him to speak, though his expression made it clear he wasn’t in the mood for debate.“Your recent decisions,” Harris said carefully, “have put the family’s safety at risk. Prioritizing Lisa’s protection during critical operations has diverted resources we couldn’t afford to lose.”Lisa’s eyes widened in disbelief.“You’re saying this is my fault?”Harris shook his head.“I’m not assigning blame, ma’am. I’m pointing out the facts. The Black Hawk exploited those gaps to get closer than they ever should have.”Ethan stood, his voice icy.“Harris, you’ve been with this family for years. I trust you with our security. But don’t mistake that trust for a license to question my priorities.”“With all due respect, sir,” Harris said, his tone measured but firm, “your priorities could cost us everything.”Ethan’
CHAPTER 161
The maintenance tunnel was cramped and dark, but it bypassed the barricade.The team emerged into the control center, where the backup system hummed ominously.Rows of monitors displayed lines of code, indicating the system was minutes away from full activation.Ethan moved swiftly, plugging in Harper’s decryption device.“Harper, I’m in. Start the shutdown sequence.”“On it,” Harper replied.“But it’ll take a few minutes. You’ll need to hold them off.”As if on cue, the lieutenant and a group of operatives burst into the room.“Ethan Elliot,” the lieutenant sneered.“Even now, you think you can win?”Ethan stepped between the system and the operatives, his weapon raised.“You’ve already lost. This is your last chance to walk away.”The lieutenant smirked. “You’re a fool.”The room erupted into chaos as the operatives charged.Ethan and his team fought fiercely, each second feeling like an eternity.Lisa covered Ethan, taking down an operative who got too close.“Keep working! We’ve g
CHAPTER 160
The sun dipped below the horizon as Ethan’s convoy approached the subsidiary’s hidden headquarters, a nondescript facility nestled within a dense forest.The building was unassuming, but Ethan knew it housed the backup system Holt had smugly warned about.Lisa sat beside him, her face set with determination.“If we don’t shut this down, everything we’ve fought for will be meaningless.”Ethan glanced at her, his voice calm despite the tension.“We will. This ends tonight.”In the back of the convoy, Harris and a team of elite guards checked their weapons and gear.Harper’s voice came through the comms.“Satellite imagery shows increased activity around the building. The Black Hawk remnants are dug in. Expect heavy resistance.”Ethan’s jaw tightened.“They’re desperate. That makes them dangerous.”Lisa placed a hand on his arm.“You’re ready for this. We all are.”He nodded, his resolve hardening.This is our last chance to stop them. Failure isn’t an option.The convoy came to a halt a
CHAPTER 159
Holt’s smirk faltered for a fraction of a second, but he recovered quickly.“You’ll see soon enough. Even if you manage to disrupt it, the damage will already be done. Your empire will be a shadow of itself, ripe for the taking.”Ethan stepped closer, his gaze unflinching.“If you were as confident as you pretend to be, you wouldn’t still be here. You know I’m going to stop you.”Harper’s voice came through the earpiece again.“Ethan, we’ve found a vulnerability. The AI’s primary control is routed through a central node in this building. If we can sever the connection, it’ll stop the attack.”“Where is it?” Ethan asked.“Two floors below you,” Harper replied.“But it’s heavily secured. You’ll need to disable the firewalls on-site.”Ethan glanced at Holt.“You’ve made one critical mistake.”“Oh?” Holt said, raising an eyebrow.“You built this fortress to keep people out,” Ethan said, stepping toward the door.“But now, I’m already inside.”Before Holt could respond, Ethan dashed out of
