“I know it's quite hard to handle but it's true. That's the whole truth.” Augustine said as he stared at Brian whose eyes were closed. Brian couldn't wrap his head around the fact that James was the traitor. He was the one obsessed with the staff of authority and the vault. That was the reason why he didn't want Brian to become the leader of Tycoon 6. James was indeed a sly cunning human. It was definitely a set up with the remaining members of the Tycoon 6. “Tell me more about the staff. What does the staff of authority have to do with the Vault?” Brian asked after a while as he leaned closer. Augustine then said, “The staff of authority is the only thing that can open the Vault, and the location of the Vault is written on the Staff of authority. Without the staff, no one can find the vault. That's why James is so obsessed with it.” Augustine then walked over to the wine cellar and picked a very expensive wine. He picked two glasses and poured some for Brian and himself. Walking
Augustine smiled when he saw Brian's expression. “You're an impatient young man, Brian.” he said as he walked over to his side to give him the file. Brian stared at the file in his hands and frowned, this was definitely a blueprint of his father's house. Why was it with Augustine? Without waiting for Brian to talk, Augustine then said, “Your father gave this to me. The staff of authority is in his building, but in a different part as you can see.” Brian stared at the file and asked suspiciously, “How did you know the staff is hidden here?” his voice held a hint of doubt as he stared at Augustine. No matter how true his words sounded, Brian still found it difficult to trust the Old man. “I told you your father and I hid the staff together. So that's the location of the staff.” He said curtly as he noticed Brian's intense gaze on him. If Brian should continue to doubt him this way, then it would be really bad. Augustine wanted to have Brian's trust. All of it. “Then you should know
In a luxurious exclusive 6 Star hotel, The Tycoon 6, the most formidable group in the whole country. Six most powerful and well known men could be seen seated as they were clearly waiting for the meeting to start. Brian watched the expression on each of their faces and smirked, wondering what could be going on in their minds. James had a stern look on his face as he stared at Brian. As Harry already told him he knew about the staff, he wondered what Brian's next step would be. Would he pretend not to know, or would he come out with the truth?“The Diadem Holdings, everything there has been settled. I think it's time for me to take my position as the leader of the Tycoon 6, right?” Brian said calmly as he stared at everyone, making them gasp as they were surprised by his boldness. Did he just ask for his position as the leader? Was he insane or out of his mind? “Mr Duke, I'm afraid you can't become the leader so soon.” Another member of the group named Leonard said. “You've only fi
“Is that a threat?” Brian asked with a smile as he stared at James. With the way James said the words, Brian was sure James would have guessed the location. It was definitely a plan. A plan to get him angry to reveal the location of the Staff and he just did. Brian clenched his fists by his sides as anger coursed through his veins. He badly felt like slapping that smug look off James's face. Now that he had figured out the location of the staff, Brian knew he had to act fast. Since he was indirectly the owner of the building, he was going to make sure it was protected by all means. James was a very cunning man. If he couldn't get in during the day, he would probably sneak in during the night. Since both their plans were already exposed, Brian then said, “Augustine Gordon, does the name ring a bell?” Hearing Brian's words, James stiffened as the name brought a lot of memories. Augustine, his close friends for many years. As Augustine was too kind and pitiful, James replaced his pos
Albert was taken aback by Brian's question. With the way Brian said it, It seemed like he was planning to buy it for Lady Elizabeth. Albert frowned, wondering why Brian would decide to buy such expensive jewelry for Lady Elizabeth. “Master, the most expensive diamond set in Ashton Hills will cost billions.” he replied as he stared at Brian whose hands were placed on his chin. “Billions of dollars, right?” he asked with a smile, as he stared at Albert. “Yes, master,” he nodded. “Then purchase it.” Albert furrowed his brows in confusion as he watched at Brian. Did his master just ask him to purchase the most expensive diamond set in the country for a woman who made his life miserable? Does that sound logical enough? Albert's reaction made Brian chuckle. He watched as Albert struggled to voice out his thoughts but he decided not to say anything about it. “Alright master, I'll purchase it right away.” he said curtly, as he bowed his head in respect. Brian smiled. Did Albert really th
Albert nodded, “Yes, Master. I'm very sure about it. Your father doesn't trust people to this extent.” he said softly as he wondered how easy it was to steal something of this importance. Brian sighed as he placed his hands on his forehead. It seemed like everyone was after the staff and the Vault, even Augustine. Perhaps that was the reason why he asked him to inform him whenever he finds it. “That's okay.” Brian said softly, “I know what to do.” he added as he stared at the file in his hands. At all costs, he was going to find the staff and the vault so it won't fall into the wrong hands. Soon it was the time of the night. The once blue sky was painted black as Aston Hills became peaceful and quiet. James glared angrily at Harry who had a hard time believing what he had just said. “Do you think I'm lying?!” his voice thundered as he stared at Harry. “You've ruined everything for me due to your incompetence!” Harry trembled slightly, confused by James' outburst. “Mr Walter, are y
A small smile was plastered on Brian's face as he walked towards Lady Elizabeth, with Lyra right by his side. Lady Elizabeth, who had been expecting Brian for a long time couldn't hide the grin on her face. Her cheeks were raised slightly as she stared at the fine specimen who took slow strides towards her. In just a few months, Brian's life took a huge turn. From purchasing cheap outfits to buying the most expensive ones. Merely by looking at his suit, one could tell that it was one of its kind. The smile on his face never faltered as he stood in front of Lady Elizabeth, taking in her appearance. Lady Elizabeth was dressed in a yellow gown with a delicate design. The dress was indeed a masterpiece, but it wasn't the best. As much as she wanted to draw all attention to herself, she wasn't ready to spend all her savings on a perfect dress. “Lady Elizabeth.” Brian said softly as he bowed his head, making people gasp in surprise. Did the CEO of the Duke's Empire just bow for Lady Eliz
Lady Elizabeth was taken aback by Brian's actions. Gradually, her expression changed from that of shock to anger, her eyes blazing with fury. Did Brian just give Lyra a gift which he had prepared for her? Did something like that just happen?! Lady Elizabeth parted her lips, struggling to utter some words but her words were stuck in her throat. As Brian gave the Diamond set to Lyra, Lyra almost fainted from shock. Why would her husband give the Diamond set to her? Lyra's heartbeat quickened as she stared at the perfect man who stood in front of her, a beautiful smile plastered on his face. “Lyra, this is for you.” he whispered softly as he pushed the set into her hand. He would have worn the set for her, but she was already putting on Jewelry. Hearing Brian's words, her tongue became heavy as she stared at the set Infront of her. Seeing it up close, Lyra was amazed by it's beauty. Her heart was filled with warmth as she Brian gave her an assuring gaze. “Take it. You deserve it.” he a
