THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 21
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

Now that the chaos was over, the bar was empty, but you could still hear it.Sanaya sat at the table alone and quiet.She gripped the edge of the table with shaking hands.Ethan leaned against a nearby chair.His face was soft and calm, which was very different from how he had been acting just moments before.It was still fresh in her mind how the mob boss dragged his embarrassed subordinate out the door.Ethan gave her a quick look, and his voice broke the quiet."You should go home."Sanaya blinked, but her mind was still broken. It scared her that his voice was soft, almost tender.She gave a slow nod. "All right."The only sound in the car was the hum of the engine.Many things were going through Sanaya's mind as she sneaked looks at Ethan.His eyes were on the road and his hands were steady on the wheel.She wanted to ask so many things but couldn't find the right words.She finally spoke. "Why didn't you tell anyone?"Ethan's mouth moved into a small smile. "Tell them what?""Al

CHAPTER 223
The stench of burning metal and charred wood filled the air as Ethan stepped over the wreckage of the Elliot warehouse. Smoke still curled from the debris, and the wailing sirens of emergency responders faded into the distance. The bodies had been removed, but the message remained—scrawled across the blackened walls in dark red streaks.“You took our king. Now we take yours.”Ethan’s jaw clenched as he studied the words, each letter dripping like an open wound. He didn’t need a forensic team to confirm it—this was blood. A message, personal and deliberate.Lisa approached cautiously, her voice low. “This isn’t just about Dominic. The Serpent isn’t retreating, Ethan. They’re evolving.”Ethan exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. He knew better than to assume victory meant safety. Dominic was gone, but the organization that had built him wasn’t.“They’re making it clear,” he murmured. “They’re not after my company, my money, or my name. They want blood.”Lisa met his gaze, h
CHAPTER 222
Ethan’s grip tightened around the silver ring as he strode down the hospital corridor. The cold metal burned against his palm, as if whispering secrets he wasn’t ready to hear. His father—the man who had spent years shaping Ethan into a leader—had kept this from him.The Serpent was never meant to die.Those words from the note echoed in his head like a curse.Lisa kept pace beside him, her face tense. “Are you sure about this? Your father’s barely stable. Pushing him could make things worse.”Ethan’s eyes darkened. “I don’t have time to wait. He’s been hiding something, Lisa. And I need to know what.”Lisa exhaled sharply but didn’t argue. She knew Ethan well enough to recognize when he was beyond reason.Harris met them at the hospital room’s entrance, arms crossed. “Guards are stationed outside. No one’s coming in or out without clearance.”Ethan nodded, shoving open the door.Inside, the room was dimly lit, the steady beep-beep of the heart monitor the only sound cutting through t
CHAPTER 221
Ethan’s team fanned out behind him, weapons at the ready. But Dominic merely laughed. “And here I thought you’d come alone. Guess even you need help sometimes.”Ethan didn’t bother with small talk. He charged, launching a lightning-fast strike at Dominic.Their bodies collided in a flurry of fists and fury. The throne toppled, Dominic’s wine spilling across the marble floor.The final battle was raw and savage—no more pretense, no more cunning ploys.Just two men locked in a brutal contest for dominance. Dominic, trained by The Serpent’s best assassins, moved with lethal grace, delivering kicks and jabs that rattled Ethan’s ribs.But Ethan had learned from every betrayal, every war.He’d honed his body and mind through a thousand battles. This is more than a fight for the empire, he thought, ducking a vicious swing.This is about saving Lisa—and ending Dominic’s tyranny once and for all.Their blows echoed in the chamber, each strike painting splatters of blood on the polished floor.
CHAPTER 220
Ethan’s boat sliced through the dark waters, the roar of the engine muted by the relentless night wind. His heart thundered with a singular purpose—rescue Lisa, end Dominic.Everything else—empire, reputation, vengeance—faded in the face of this final confrontation.Lisa was there, captive on a private island owned by one of The Serpent’s offshore shell companies. And Dominic had made the deadliest mistake of his life: he’d taken the one person Ethan would tear the world apart to save.Harris crouched at the bow, scanning the shoreline through night-vision goggles. “We’re close. Spotlights at ten o’clock. Probably the outer perimeter.”Ethan nodded, eyes fixed on the distant flickers. “The estate’s heavily guarded. We won’t get a second chance.”Mike, seated behind Ethan, gripped his rifle. “We land, go in silent, and eliminate resistance. Let’s not give them time to raise alarms.”Ethan felt a cold determination grip his core. No mercy tonight. His thoughts churned: I’ve let Dominic
CHAPTER 219
Later that evening, Ethan received a call from the prison warden. Victoria wanted to speak with him. He almost ignored it, but something in his gut said otherwise. Within the hour, he stood in the sterile hallway outside Victoria’s high-security cell, tension coiling in his chest.Victoria sat on the single metal bench inside, her regal demeanor undiminished by the jumpsuit and concrete walls. Her eyes, cold and calculating, locked onto Ethan’s.She smirked. “You look tired. The weight of the empire wearing on you, dear brother?”Ethan’s voice was icy. “Cut the act. Why’d you call?”She inclined her head, as if she were still in control. “I can help you bring Dominic down. I know he’s winning. I know The Serpent is backing him. And I know how to break him.”Ethan snorted. “You expect me to trust you? After everything you did?”She shrugged, unfazed. “I don’t need your trust. I just need your desperation. And you are desperate, aren’t you?” Her voice turned mocking. “You’re losing, Eth
CHAPTER 218
Dominic’s sudden rise had shaken the Elliot empire to its core.For weeks now, Ethan watched helplessly as the world embraced Dominic’s claim, painting him as the “true heir” and mocking Ethan as a usurper.Elliot Enterprises was on the verge of collapse, and the board members—those Ethan had spent years proving himself to—began to waver under Dominic’s promises.Yet Ethan wasn’t about to surrender everything he’d built. Not when he knew that Dominic’s ascendancy wasn’t mere coincidence.It was a calculated assault orchestrated by The Serpent, the shadowy cabal that had once silently shaped the family’s fortune. He’d been cornered, ridiculed, and discredited, but he wasn’t down.He was planning his counterstrike.Ethan paced the length of the conference room, his footsteps echoing against the polished marble floor. His jaw was tight, and his eyes flickered with the cold fire of determination.Around the long table sat his most trusted circle: Lisa, Mike, his legal team, and the few ex
CHAPTER 217
Ethan sat in silence, the weight of his mother’s revelation pressing down on him like a vice.Illegitimate.That one word had the power to strip him of everything he had built. Every deal, every empire, every ounce of control—gone, just like that.For the first time in years, uncertainty gnawed at the edges of his confidence.Lisa stood across from him, arms crossed, her sharp gaze never leaving his face. “Say something.”Ethan clenched his jaw, fingers tapping against the polished wood of his desk. His mind churned through every possible outcome, every move that could counteract this.Harris leaned against the wall, shaking his head. “Damn. If this gets out, the courts won’t even need to rule against you. The board will turn on you first.”Lisa scoffed. “Let them. If they’re stupid enough to believe a piece of paper is what makes a leader, they don’t deserve to be part of this empire.”Ethan exhaled sharply, shaking his head. “The law doesn’t care about strength, Lisa. It cares about
CHAPTER 216
Ethan had fought wars in the shadows, crushed rivals without breaking a sweat, and survived attacks that would have buried weaker men.But this?This was an attack on his very existence.And right now, Dominic was winning.Lisa stormed into Ethan’s office, her face flushed with anger. She slammed a thick folder onto his desk, her voice sharp. “They’re fast-tracking Dominic’s case.”Ethan barely glanced at the documents. He already knew what was inside. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, fingers tapping rhythmically against the desk. Calm. Calculated. Dangerous.Harris, standing near the window, scoffed. “What a damn surprise. When you’ve got The Serpent pulling strings, the law bends however they want it to.”Lisa’s nails dug into her palm. “They’re not just after your company, Ethan. Dominic is trying to rewrite history.”Ethan arched a brow. “Let me guess—he’s playing the poor, long-lost heir?”Lisa’s jaw tightened. “Worse. The media is framing him as the wronged son while you’re
CHAPTER 215
Ethan had always known wars weren’t won overnight. But this? This was the kind of attack meant to break him, to strip him down until he had no choice but to surrender.Too bad Dominic didn’t know who he was up against.Lisa stormed into Ethan’s office, her phone clutched tightly in her fist. “You need to see this.”She shoved the screen in front of him. The headline hit Ethan like a punch to the gut."FIRE CONSUMES ELLIOT TOWER—ARSON SUSPECTED."Ethan’s eyes flickered to the live footage below the text. The once-imposing skyscraper now stood in flames, firefighters battling against the roaring inferno. Smoke billowed into the night sky, and panicked voices filled the broadcast.Harris leaned against the desk, arms crossed. “That’s not just property damage. That’s a power move.”Lisa’s voice was tight with rage. “Dominic ordered this. I know it.”Ethan let out a slow, measured breath, keeping his fury in check. “He’s destabilizing me. Burning my empire down—literally.”Lisa’s glare sha
