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 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 courtyard was full of life and stress as Ethan tried to get his balance after being pushed.He stood tall, and his cool attitude stood out against the chaos going on around him.When Sanaya tried to step in, Ethan raised his hand slightly to tell her to stay away.The group of students squished closer together, and their whispers got louder as they watched.Someone asked in a whisper, "Is this guy crazy?""Are you challenging Moise Nelson? That's like using a toothpick to poke a bear," someone else said. "More like poking a cobra," A third voice added,which made everyone laugh nervously.A proud grin spread across Moise Nelson's face as he stepped forward.He was the son of the famous Cobra.His huge size and the crowd of lackeys behind him made him look like he couldn't be hurt.Moise made fun of Ethan and said, "You've got guts.""But you're either very brave or very, very stupid.""Do you know who I am?"Ethan didn't move when he looked at him."Oh, I know exactly who you are.

    His smile got bigger as he talked on the phone, and Moise didn't pay attention to him."Hey, Dad, it's me. There is someone who is creating problem for me..."After looking at the scene with a mix of amazement and worry, Ethan turned his attention to Sanaya.He gave her a comforting nod, and she let out a sigh of relief.Her shoulders relaxed a little."Yes I want you here."Moise hung up the phone and went back to Ethan.He laughed and said, "You're in trouble now.""When my father gets here, you’ll wish you’d never been born."Ethan just shrugged, keeping his cool."I guess we’ll see."The crowd was tense and excited as they waited for the next part of this play to start.The beaten lackeys were moaning at Ethan's feet as he stood strong and looked down at Moise.His confidence did not weaken.Ethan didn't show the least bit of fear when Cobra came near.And that was what really amazed everyone. As the sound of screeching tires tore through the courtyard, the crowd's chatter got lou

    Lucas Krol stood trembling before Ethan Elliot, his towering frame somehow shrunken under the intense aura emanating from the young man before him.Beads of sweat trickled down Lucas's temple as his son, Moise, stormed into the room, his voice rising above the tense silence.“Dad!” Moise’s voice cracked with disbelief. “What are you doing? Bowing to this… this student? I don’t care who he is! No one—no one!—has the right to humiliate you like this!”Ethan didn’t flinch. His calm, piercing gaze locked onto Moise with a weight that made the younger man falter mid-step.Lucas spun around and hissed, “Moise! Shut your mouth before you ruin us any further!”Moise, shocked and indignant, looked between his father and Ethan. “Ruin us? You’re afraid of him? Are you serious? This is just some boy from campus! Who the hell does he think he is, to command you?”Ethan’s voice, low and sharp, cut through Moise’s tirade like a blade. “You’ve got one chance to fix this.”Lucas visibly shuddered and

    Moise knelt on the cold, hard ground with his head bowed low.His expensive shoes scraped against the dirt, which made him feel ashamed.The scene was strange, very different from the easy life he had always had as the Nelson heir.The students crowded around him whispered to each other while holding up their phones like flames to record his shame.Sanaya stood tall next to Ethan, crossed her arms, and laughed softly."I never thought the great Moise Nelson would be brought down to this level. Miracles really do happen."When Moise looked up at her, his face showed that he couldn't believe what he was seeing."Sanaya, I—""Shh!" Ethan cut in quickly and held up a finger."Don't breathe. Today, the only thing you should say is "I'm sorry."Lucas Nelson walked into the scene with a loud voice that sounded like thunder. "This is the man whose family has helped us stay alive in this city for generations! Now look at him!"He charged Moise with anger. "You dummy!You're a shame to our famil

    Ethan walked quickly down the marble-floored hallway toward his dad's big office.The sound of his leather shoes could be heard barely. He was thinking about things after dropping Sanaya off at her class.He always thought of her when he wanted to keep things simple and enjoy the present.It wasn't easy for him, though, because of the weight of his family name.Ethan took a deep breath and opened the heavy wood door.Richard Elliot, his father, was reading through a stack of papers behind a large wooden desk.When he looked up, his sharp eyes locked on Ethan."Ethan," his dad said, pointing for him to sit down.Ethan sat down in the chair across from him,"Dad.I wanted to discuss something important—an investment proposal."Richard gave me a curious look. "Go on."After clearing his throat, Ethan put a folder down on the desk."I have given a lot of thought to how I can help the family business without just getting paid to use our name. I've planned out a small job that I can do while

    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

    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,

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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
