THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 246
The world was on the edge of falling into The Serpent’s hands.Ethan had less than twenty-four hours to stop it.His team wasn’t just fighting a crime syndicate anymore. They were up against a new world order.And if they failed?Celeste wouldn’t just control the underground. She’d control everything.The underground bunker buzzed with tension as Ethan stood at the center, the holographic map of Dubai projected in front of him. His team gathered around, their faces tight with urgency.Lisa crossed her arms. “Dubai? You’re sure?”Ethan nodded. “All intel points there. Celeste’s plan isn’t just to install a puppet leader. She’s pulling the world’s most powerful figures into a single room to consolidate her control.”Mike leaned forward, scanning the map. “High security. State-of-the-art surveillance. There’s no way we’re walking in undetected.”Ethan smirked. “We won’t be walking in.”Lisa raised a brow. “Then how?”Ethan’s eyes gleamed with cold determination. “We infiltrate from the i

Ethan’s breath slowed.She wasn’t bluffing.Something was wrong.Lisa’s voice crackled urgently in his earpiece. “Ethan—get out of there. Now.”Too late.The doors locked behind him.Ethan turns, realizing he’s surrounded. The Final Coup has already begun—and Celeste planned for every move he made.Ethan stood in the center of the grand summit hall, trapped.Celeste’s smirk was one of quiet victory, her glass of champagne catching the golden light. Around him, the exit doors locked with a quiet hiss, and uniformed guards—Serpent operatives—moved into position.This wasn’t just a meeting.It was a declaration of war.And Celeste had played him perfectly.The murmurs in the room grew as the high-ranking officials—the world’s most powerful people—realized they weren’t just guests.They were hostages.Celeste raised her glass, her voice smooth, commanding.“Ladies and gentlemen,” she said, letting her gaze sweep across the room, owning the space like a queen before her court. “For too lon

The black SUV screeched down an empty Dubai street as Ethan slammed the door behind him.Lisa floored the gas pedal. Mike was in the backseat, reloading his weapon.Ethan barely had time to breathe. His pulse pounded.He turned to Lisa. “Did you see it?”She nodded grimly. “Yeah. Every damn screen. They’ve already taken over.”Mike exhaled sharply. “This isn’t just about you anymore, man. This is global.”Ethan pressed his fingers to his temple.The Serpent had always been powerful, but this?This was different.Celeste hadn’t just expanded. She had replaced the existing world order with something else entirely.And now?There was no hiding.Either he fought back, or the world burned.Lisa’s voice was low. “What’s the move?”Ethan’s jaw tightened.“First, we go home.”The Elliot estate was already burning when they arrived.Ethan stepped out of the car, the roar of the flames deafening against the night sky.His home.His empire.The place where he had built everything.Lisa swore und

They relocated to a temporary hideout—a secluded warehouse on the outskirts of the city, far from the burning wreckage of Ethan’s past.Terminator X was already inside, sifting through surveillance feeds. His expression was grim. “She’s not slowing down. The Serpent is moving like an army. Every asset she controls is being mobilized.”Ethan sat at the table, studying a digital map of The Serpent’s reach. It was worse than he expected.Banking institutions. Military supply chains. Private security firms.Celeste wasn’t just conquering the world. She was rewriting its foundation.Lisa leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “Even if we find an opening, it’s not enough. You don’t have an empire anymore, Ethan. You’re outnumbered. Outgunned.”Ethan smirked. “That just makes me unpredictable.”Mike gave him a skeptical look. “That’s not a strategy.”Ethan’s smirk faded. “It’s the only one we’ve got.”The room went silent when Ethan’s phone buzzed.A message.From her.CEL: One final game.M

Rome’s Colosseum loomed before him, bathed in the golden glow of streetlights.It was empty. Silent. A graveyard of past warriors.Fitting.Ethan walked toward the center of the ruins, his steps slow, controlled. He could hear the faint whispers of history in the walls, the echoes of gladiators who had stood here before him.And then—She was there.Celeste.She stood on the opposite side of the arena, dressed in all black, her silhouette framed by the shadows.There were no guards. No weapons.Just her.Ethan stopped a few feet away, his expression unreadable. “A gladiator fight? Really?”Celeste smirked. “Seemed appropriate.”Her eyes gleamed in the low light. “This isn’t about winning, Ethan. It’s about proving who we were meant to be.”Ethan’s jaw tightened. “I already know who I am.”Celeste tilted her head. “Do you?”She stepped closer, her voice soft but sharp.“You were born for this. The blood in your veins—your grandfather, your father, your entire legacy—it was always leadi
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 251
The world slowed.Celeste lay on the cold, ancient stone of the Colosseum, her breath shallow, her body trembling from the pain. Blood pooled beneath her, dark and glistening under the moonlight.Ethan stood above her, breathing hard, his fists still clenched. His knuckles were raw, split open from the battle, but the pain didn’t matter.He had won.The fight had been brutal. Relentless.Celeste had matched him in every way—strength, speed, ruthlessness. She had fought with the desperation of someone who refused to accept defeat.But in the end?Fate had already decided.Celeste coughed, a weak, bitter laugh escaping her lips. Blood stained her teeth.Ethan didn’t move.He didn’t need to.She was done.Lisa and Mike stood at the edge of the arena, their weapons raised, ready to intervene if needed. But Ethan knew this was his fight alone.Celeste lifted her head slightly, her golden eyes meeting his. Even now, dying, there was defiance in them.“You think this is victory?” she rasped.
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 252
The Colosseum was silent now, a hollow shell of its former glory.Ethan stood at the edge, staring down at the bloodstained ground where Celeste had fallen. The woman who had haunted his past, shaped his present, and nearly dictated his future—gone.The war was over.But he felt nothing.He should have felt victory. Relief. Something.Instead, there was only the weight of emptiness.For years, his life had been defined by this battle. By the war against The Serpent. By proving that he wasn’t just another Elliot heir, another cog in the machine.But now?He was free.And for the first time in his life, he had no idea what the hell to do next.Lisa and Mike stood behind him, waiting.Waiting for orders. Waiting for direction.Waiting for the next move.But Ethan had nothing to give them.Lisa broke the silence first. “We should leave.”Her voice was calm, measured—but there was an edge to it. A quiet urgency.Ethan didn’t move.Mike exhaled, rubbing a hand over his face. “She’s right, m
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 253
The Colosseum was quiet. Too quiet.Ethan stood motionless over Celeste’s lifeless body, blood pooling beneath her, soaking into the ancient stone. His heartbeat should have slowed, his breath should have steadied, but something inside him refused to settle.His fists were still clenched, knuckles raw and torn. His muscles ached from the fight, a dull throb spreading through his ribs where Celeste had landed her last vicious hit. He had won.And yet—It didn’t feel like victory.For years, The Serpent had been the force in the shadows, the empire that had ruled nations, corporations, and crime syndicates alike. And now? It was gone.Celeste was gone.So why did it feel like something wasn’t right?Then, his phone had buzzed.Just moments after Celeste’s final breath.A simple message. Anonymous. Encrypted."The Serpent’s death was necessary. Now, it’s time for something even greater."Ethan’s jaw tightened. His grip on the phone almost cracked the screen.Someone had been waiting for

CHAPTER 277
Ethan stood on the edge of a glass-and-steel monolith, looking down at the city that had both made him and tried to break him.Dubai stretched out in all directions—a kingdom of glass towers, neon reflections, and wealth built on power and silence.Once, he had owned this world.Once, he had believed he could shape it.But now, as he stood above it all, the question that had haunted him since the beginning refused to be ignored.Did I win? Or did I just survive?He exhaled, the wind pulling at his coat, sending strands of his hair whipping against his forehead.The streets below were alive—cars honking, people moving, deals being made in hushed conversations, just another night in the empire of the rich.None of them knew what had happened.None of them knew how close this city had come to burning with The Dominion.They only knew the headlines:“Ethan Elliot Destroys Global Crime Syndicate.”“The Fall of The Dominion—A Power Shift in the Underworld.”“The Most Dangerous Man in the Wo
CHAPTER 276
Ethan stood at the edge of the smoldering ruin, his body aching, his mind drowning in the weight of what had been done.Dubai’s skyline had changed overnight—one less tower standing.One less monster breathing.He should have felt something.Relief. Satisfaction. A sense of victory.But there was nothing.Only smoke, ash, and silence.The Dominion was gone.Their networks dismantled, their leaders dead, scattered, or in hiding.The underworld had changed in a single night, shifting like tectonic plates beneath his feet.And the world had noticed.The media had already begun spinning their stories.“Elliot Enterprises CEO Linked to Mysterious Power Shift.”“The Fall of The Dominion—A New Global Order?”“Ethan Elliot: The Man Who Killed the Shadows.”Some feared him.Some worshipped him.Some wanted him dead.None of it mattered.Because Ethan was done.Lisa was gone.Malik was gone.His empire was still standing, but it wasn’t his anymore.He had spent years clawing his way to the top,
CHAPTER 275
3:00… 2:59… 2:58…The countdown blazed across the massive penthouse screen.Ethan’s fingers tightened around Emery’s collar."Where is it?" His voice was a low growl, lethal.Emery coughed, blood staining his teeth. "Wouldn’t you like to know?"2:30… 2:29…Ethan yanked him forward, shaking him violently. "Tell me where the bomb is, or I swear I will—""Kill me?" Emery smirked, weak but smug. "That’s what I want, Ethan."Ethan’s breath came sharp. Every fiber of his body screamed to end him.But the clock was running out.Lisa’s voice echoed in his head."Don’t become them…"2:00… 1:59…Ethan dropped Emery.He turned on his heel, ignoring the bastard’s laughter as he scanned the penthouse for any sign of the bomb.Then—he saw it.A black case embedded inside the structural framework of the tower, wires running across the walls like a web of death.The fail-safe was wired into the building itself.Emery had planned this well.There was no stopping the countdown.1:30… 1:29…He had to ge
CHAPTER 274
Ethan moved first.No hesitation. No mercy.His fist slammed into Emery’s face, sending him crashing into a marble pillar.The impact cracked the surface, shards of stone crumbling to the floor.But Emery didn’t collapse.He grinned through the blood."That’s it, Ethan," he rasped, wiping his split lip. "No more business deals. No more negotiations. Just war."Ethan didn’t answer.Words were pointless now.Lisa was gone.The Dominion had burned his empire.Now, he would burn them.Emery launched himself forward, faster than Ethan expected.A knife flashed in his hand.Ethan twisted—**barely dodging—**but the blade still grazed his ribs.Pain flared, hot and sharp, but he didn’t slow.Instead, he caught Emery’s wrist and twisted.CRACK.The knife clattered to the floor.Emery hissed, his arm hanging limp, dislocated.But he still laughed."Come on," he taunted. "You’re holding back."Ethan’s rage snapped.He drove his knee into Emery’s gut, knocking the air from his lungs.As Emery dou
CHAPTER 273
The Burj Dominion towered over Dubai, a fortress of wealth, power, and secrecy. A structure built on the backs of the world’s most corrupt elites, designed to withstand anything.Anything but him.Ethan was coming.Inside the penthouse, Emery Calloway stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, the city sprawling beneath him in a tapestry of golden lights. He swirled the whiskey in his glass, watching the skyline with an air of amusement.Behind him, a war was brewing.Guards flooded the lower floors, rifles loaded, body armor strapped on, comms crackling with rapid orders. The entire tower was on lockdown.But Emery wasn’t afraid.He had been waiting for this."Sir, we should evacuate," one of his lieutenants suggested, nervous.Emery smirked, tilting his glass to his lips. "No."The man hesitated. "With all due respect, sir, Elliot is—""Exactly where I want him." Emery placed the glass down with a deliberate clink. "Let him in."The lieutenant paled. "Sir?"Emery turned, his
CHAPTER 272
Ethan didn’t remember getting into the car.Didn’t remember the high-speed chase through the city, weaving through traffic, running red lights, ignoring the screaming sirens behind him.All he saw was her face on that screen.Lisa.Still alive.Barely breathing, but still there.And if he was even a second too late?He wouldn’t let himself think about it.Mike’s voice crackled over the comm. “Ethan, you need to slow down. We don’t know what we’re walking into.”Ethan’s grip tightened on the wheel. “I don’t care.”Because this wasn’t about strategy anymore.This was personal.The warehouse loomed ahead, an abandoned Dominion facility on the city outskirts.Ethan didn’t wait. Didn’t plan.He crashed the car straight through the front gate, metal screeching as he tore past the defenses.Gunfire erupted. Bullets slammed into the car, glass shattering.Ethan was already out, already moving.His gun spat fire as he carved a path through The Dominion soldiers.Each shot was precise. Lethal.
CHAPTER 271
Ethan had sensed the setup the moment the lights cut out.Too quiet. Too clean.Then—the explosion.The front door blasted inward, a shockwave ripping through the safe house. Glass shattered, furniture splintered, smoke curled through the air like a phantom’s breath.Ethan was already moving before the dust settled.They were here.The Dominion’s kill squad—The Reapers.Silent. Precise. Deadly.Dark figures poured in through the smoke, rifles raised, laser sights flickering like red stars in the haze.Ethan ducked, rolled, and fired.A single headshot took out the first.A knife to the throat silenced the second.Malik was beside him, a shadow of destruction. A brutal strike to the gut, a bullet between the ribs—two Reapers fell instantly.But they kept coming.Ethan’s mind worked ten steps ahead.They didn’t just want him dead.They wanted him contained.Cut off. Cornered. Executed.Too bad.They had underestimated the wrong man.Ethan moved like a ghost through the gunfire, slipping
CHAPTER 270
The world had changed.Aldrich Vaughn was dead. Executed in his own home. His dirty secrets broadcasted to the world, his name dragged through the mud.It wasn’t a quiet, clean hit. Ethan had made sure of that.Now?Everyone was watching.For the first time, The Dominion was exposed.They weren’t untouchable anymore.And that terrified them.Inside an underground Dominion control center, Emery Calloway stood motionless.Multiple screens flickered, each one showing the same headline."Former U.S. Senator Aldrich Vaughn found executed—Massive corruption scandal unraveling.""Who is behind the murder of one of America’s most powerful political figures?""The world’s elite in chaos—How deep does this conspiracy go?"Emery’s fingers tightened into a fist.Vaughn was supposed to be protected. Untouchable. A symbol of The Dominion’s absolute power.Yet Ethan had wiped him from existence in a single night.“We underestimated him.”The voice came from one of his lieutenants, a man in a pristin
CHAPTER 269
Ethan sat in the dimly lit warehouse, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the cold steel of his gun. The room smelled of dust and rusted metal, but the air was thick with something else—vengeance.Tonight, the war truly began.Across the room, Malik slid a tablet across the table. “He’s at his estate. Surrounded by security. Cameras, guards, high-tech defenses. A fortress.”Ethan barely glanced at the screen. “It won’t be enough.”Mike leaned forward. “You sure about this? If we start picking them off, The Dominion will come at us harder than ever.”Ethan’s gaze was sharp, unwavering. “Good. Let them.”Aldrich Vaughn was a snake in a suit—a corrupt politician who had sold out his own people for power.More importantly?He was one of the architects of Lisa’s abduction.And tonight? He would pay.Ethan’s plan wasn’t just about killing him.That would be too easy.No, Ethan would destroy his empire first. Strip him of his power, his money, his influence.Then, and only then, would h
