THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 22
"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

The morning light came in through the window as Sanaya moved and her eyes flew open.She looked down and saw that she was curled up in Ethan's arms, her head on his chest.As she quickly pulled away, her face turned bright red.Ethan moaned and rubbed his eyes."Morning…" Even though he was sleepy, he sat up and scratched the back of his neck uncomfortably when he saw her worried look. "Uh… good sleep?"A quick nod from Sanaya, her words just above a whisper."Yeah… I think so."She became aware of something all of a sudden, and she gasped."No way!" I'm not on time for class!"Ethan blinked and then looked at his phone to see what time it was."Oh, no. Yes, me too." He stopped and creased his brows."Wait, you go to Riverwood University?""Yes, why?" she asked as she rushed to get her things together.Ethan was shocked and said, "I do too.I’m a year ahead, though."Sanaya stood still for a second and then smiled a little."Small world, I guess."Right away, they got ready and went to

The hacker’s smirk widened.“What are you gonna do? Type me to death?”Without a word, Ethan grabbed a nearby keyboard and began typing rapidly, his movements swift and deliberate.The hacker’s confident expression faltered.“Wait—what are you doing?”“Locking you out,” Ethan said, his tone calm but fierce.The hacker spun back to his workstation, his fingers flying across the keys in an attempt to counter Ethan’s commands.“You’re joking, right? You can’t just waltz in here and undo hours of work.”“Watch me,” Ethan replied.The room filled with the sound of frantic keystrokes as the two battled for control of the system.Ethan’s deep understanding of the company’s architecture gave him an edge, allowing him to anticipate the hacker’s moves.“You built this system,” the hacker said, his voice tinged with frustration.“I’ll give you that. But you’re still in over your head.”“And you’re too arrogant to realize when you’ve lost,” Ethan shot back, activating a series of firewalls to blo

The gleaming facade of Elliot Enterprises stood stark against the night sky, its towering glass structure an imposing symbol of power and wealth.Tonight, however, it was under siege.As Ethan’s convoy screeched to a halt outside the main entrance, he could see the flickering of emergency lights in the upper floors, signaling the intrusion.Harris jumped out of the vehicle, his weapon drawn.“Top floors have been breached, sir. Surveillance shows Black Hawk operatives locking down the executive suites.”“They’re going after the servers,” Ethan said, his voice tight with urgency.“If they access the financial archives, they could cripple us.”Lisa, seated beside him, gripped his arm.“Be careful, Ethan.”Ethan met her gaze, his resolve unwavering.“I will. Stay here with Harper and coordinate the feeds. I need eyes on everything.”Lisa nodded reluctantly.“Just… come back in one piece.”Ethan and his team stormed into the building, their movements precise and calculated. Harper’s voice
CHAPTER 151
The ballroom erupted into chaos as masked operatives flooded the room, their weapons gleaming under the faint emergency lights.Guests were forced to the ground, their hands raised in surrender as shouts echoed through the space.One of the operatives stepped forward, their voice amplified by a distortion device.“Ethan Elliot,” they announced, “if you value the lives of these people, surrender now!”Lisa gripped Ethan’s arm.“What are you going to do?”Ethan’s mind raced.This is coordinated. They knew every detail of the layout, the security, even the backup systems. But they don’t know I’ve studied this place inside out.“Stay low and trust me,” Ethan said.Ethan ducked into the shadows, his movements swift and silent.Through the earpiece, Harris’s voice came through.“We’re locked out of the main entrances. They’ve barricaded them from the outside.”“Use the service corridors,” Ethan replied.“Secure the exits and sweep for explosives. I’ll handle the hostages.”Harris hesitated
CHAPTER 150
Harris followed the man into the kitchen, reporting back.“He’s not doing anything unusual. Looks like he’s just grabbing a drink and heading back.”Ethan frowned.They’re being careful. Too careful.As the gala continued, more suspicious figures emerged, but each time, their actions seemed innocuous.It was as if they knew they were being watched.Lisa returned to Ethan’s side, her expression frustrated.“They’re here—I know it. But they’re staying just out of reach.”“They’re testing us,” Ethan replied. “They want to see how we react before they make their move.”As Ethan scanned the room, a waiter approached him, holding a tray of hors d'oeuvres.The man’s face was partially obscured by the tray, but Ethan caught a glint of recognition in his eyes.“Sir,” the waiter said, his voice low, “a note for you.”Ethan’s hand instinctively went to the pistol concealed beneath his jacket as he took the folded piece of paper.The waiter moved away swiftly, disappearing into the crowd.Lisa le

Harper scrolled to the bottom of the message, revealing one final note:“Ethan Elliot will be the guest of honor. Make sure he doesn’t leave alive.”Ethan straightened, his jaw set.“Canceling the gala isn’t an option. If we do, they’ll just strike somewhere else. We’ll let it happen—but on our terms.”Lisa’s eyes widened. “You’re going to use it as a trap?”Ethan nodded.“If they want a fight, they’ll get one. But this time, we’ll be ready.”The Elliot Charity Gala was always a spectacle, a dazzling showcase of wealth and philanthropy.Tonight, the grand ballroom of the Crestview Hotel glittered under crystal chandeliers, filled with elegantly dressed guests. Beneath the surface, however, tension simmered.This year, the event was more than a celebration—it was a battlefield.Ethan stood at the center of the ballroom, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd.He wore a perfectly tailored tuxedo, his demeanor calm and composed, but every movement was calculated.Hidden cameras were discreetl
CHAPTER 148
“I’ll give you what you want,” Ethan said, his voice steady.“Control of Elliot Enterprises. I have the codes you need to access everything.”The leader hesitated, suspicion flickering in their eyes.“You’re bluffing.”Ethan gestured toward his pocket.“Check for yourself. My phone has all the access codes. Let the hostages go, and I’ll transfer control right now.”The leader tilted their head, considering the offer.“You’d give up everything you’ve built just to save these people? How... noble.”Ethan shrugged.“Call it an investment in humanity. Or maybe I just don’t like watching innocent people die.”Unbeknownst to the leader, Ethan’s guards had used the distraction to breach the ICU through the maintenance corridor.They moved with practiced silence, taking out operatives one by one.Harris’s voice crackled softly in Ethan’s earpiece.“We’re in position. Just say the word.”Ethan’s fingers brushed the hidden comm device, giving the signal.The corridor erupted into chaos as Harri
CHAPTER 147
Ethan slowly reached into his pocket, producing a comm device.He activated it subtly, knowing his guards would hear everything.“I’m listening,” Ethan said, buying time.The leader tilted their head, studying him.“You’re stalling.”Ethan smirked.“Maybe. Or maybe I’m considering my options. Killing me or my father doesn’t get you what you want.”The leader’s voice hardened.“Don’t test me, Elliot. One wrong move, and this floor becomes a bloodbath.”Ethan’s voice remained steady.“Then what? You think you’ll just walk away? The Black Hawk isn’t as invincible as you think.”The leader’s hand twitched toward their weapon, but they hesitated.“You talk a big game, but you’re just like your grandfather—arrogant and blind to the consequences of your actions.”Ethan stepped closer, his tone sharp.“And you’re nothing but a shadow, trying to fill shoes you’ll never outgrow. Kane failed, and so will you.”The leader’s laughter was cold. “We’ll see.”Through the comm device, Harris’s voice w

The city lights blurred past as Ethan sped toward the hospital, his thoughts racing as fast as the car.Harris’s voice crackled through the comm device.“Sir, we’ve secured the perimeter, but the intruders have taken control of the ICU floor. They’ve locked down the elevators and stairwells.”“How many hostages?” Ethan asked, his tone sharp.“At least ten, including your father,” Harris replied.Ethan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened.This isn’t just about intimidation—they’re making a statement.Lisa’s voice came through the earpiece.“Ethan, are you sure about this? Going in alone—”“I don’t have a choice,” he interrupted.“They want me, not a firefight. If we storm in, they’ll kill everyone.”“You’re not alone,” Harris reminded him.“We’ll be in position, waiting for your signal.”Ethan pulled up near the hospital’s side entrance, slipping through the shadows.“Hold your position until I give the order. I’m going in.”Ethan navigated the maintenance corridors, his movements s
CHAPTER 145
The wind whipped against Ethan’s face as he crouched inside the container, his eyes locked on the bomb’s timer: 00:01:15.Sweat dripped down his temple, but his hands remained steady as he worked to decipher the intricate wiring.Lisa’s voice came over the earpiece.“Ethan, the train is slowing, but it won’t stop completely. How much longer do you need?”“Not long,” Ethan replied tersely.“Just keep it steady.”The faint creak of metal above reminded him of the unconscious Black Hawk operative lying atop the train.Where there’s one, there’s always more.The timer ticked down. 00:00:45.Harris’s voice broke in.“We’ve secured the control car. If you can’t disarm the bomb, give us the word, and we’ll disconnect this section of the train.”Ethan shook his head, speaking firmly.“No. If we detach the car, there’s still a risk it detonates near the grid. I’m finishing this here.”His mind raced as he scanned the intricate setup.Blue for the trigger line, red for the fail-safe. No, that’s
