You're going to pay me!” Brian was the target of hostile stares as people whispered to one another. “The son in-law is doomed.

Ever since the incident that happened during the campaign, Duncan had never had a moment of rest. Apart from how fast Lawrence was progressing, Brian also became stronger with each passing day. If threatening people would bring stronger people to his side, Duncan was determined to find their weakness and use it against them.
