The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 131
“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
The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 138
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

The warmth of the sun caressed Brian's skin with half his body inside a pool. His hair, damp with water clung to his neck like a second skin while the sound of laughter filled the air. Right next to the pool was a garden filled with so many flowers, It looked unreal. The air was peaceful, calm and serene. He turned to his wife who basked in the sunlight, her skin glowing with youthfulness. In her arms were Ginny and George as she sat next to the garden. She stared at her kids with so much love, her heart filled with content. These past few months had been the best time of her life. Since Tyla was serving her time in prison, she got her company back. Now, Lyra was the chairwoman of Brooks Empire. That's right, she changed the name back to the initial name, and the crumbing company became better under her supervision. “Lyra, are the kids asleep? Don't you want to have fun in the pool?” Brian raised his voice, calling Lyra’s attention as he floated in the pool. Rather than settling do

Tyla tried to resist, but she was still dragged away harshly in the presence of all her employees. They all mocked her, glad that her end was finally here. Tyla cried and begged, but all her cries fell on deaf ears. A few days later after the chaos in Ashton Hills, Lawrence foyer, emerged as the winner of the presidential election, all thanks to Brian and his hard work as well. To thank Brian for everything, he decided to hold a banquet in Brian's name. Lyra strode into the hall with a wide smile on her lips. Her raven-dark hair cascaded down her waist in wavy curls, and the emerald gown she was putting on accentuated her hourglass figure. Her nanny walked right behind her with her kids, Ginny and Georgia, and Lyra couldn't ask for more. She turned to her husband, Brian who walked right beside her, his blue boraldo suit bringing out his striking features. His hair was styled like he should be on the cover of a magazine. His steps were slow, but powerful. Merely by walking, he comma

Dracula was able to escape Duncan's wrath, but Duncan couldn't care less. He was only concerned about the election and the success of it. The presidential election was taking place in Ashton Hills and several other cities across the country.

A few days ago, Duncan had asked one of his men to check if Brian was really in a critical condition and yes, It was true.Brian was presently in the hospital, bound to several machines because his life was on the line. Duncan couldn't be more excited. Immediately after winning the election, he would instruct his men to finish him up. Right now, the election could proceed with Brian out of the way.

In the dead of the night, Brian's car sped down the highway. His bodyguards were positioned in the front of his car. As the car moved smoothly, suddenly, the driver noticed the image of two vehicles from the rear mirror, chasing their vehicle with all their might. Brian's driver, Alex, tightened his grip on the steering and said “Mr Duke, we're being followed.” “What?” Brian asked, slightly confused. After a hectic day at work, he wasn't really ready to encounter such a problem. He placed his hands on his forehead and sighed, “Are you sure about this, Alex?” Alex checked the rear mirror again and confirmed his suspicion, “I'm very sure sir. They're closing in on us.” he continued, stepping on the accelerator. Brian leaned back in his chair, “Alert the other bodyguards about the situation and drive in circles. Going home now is not an option.”Alex nodded, clicked on a button and alerted the bodyguards in front of them. Brian watched as Alex stepped on the accelerator, speeding on t

North Ashton Hills, Members of the dancing 9 were seated around the table, each of their faces filled with dread. Several years of planning, training, working, went down the drain because of Brian Duke. Yes, they had planned to threaten people but Brian was still blocking their path. Duncan slammed his fists on the desk, his skin flushed from anger. He shook his head, “Brian really thinks he can get away with this.” his voice rang out, dripping with venom, “Can you believe he ordered his people to dig out our past?”“What?!” One of the members spat, a look of terror plastered on his face, “He’s digging out our past? What if he gets evidence against us? What then are we going to do?” he added, his eyes fixed on Duncan. Another member turned to Tyla, “You're the reason for this, you b*tch! You've brought this upon us. It's because of your greed, that's why that bastard is after us.” she seethed. Tyla clenched her fists, “How dare you say that to me?! If not for my company, the group

A man opened up the car for Lawrence, and as soon as he alighted from the car, about three to five men accompanied him to the coffee shop. In locations like these, Lawrence looked like the king among mere mortals with his commanding presence. His men stood on guard outside while he pushed the door and walked into the coffee shop.A few days ago, a senator contacted him and told him about Duncan's threats. At first, Lawrence couldn't believe it. He knew Duncan was bringing people to his side, but he never thought Duncan would threaten people to side with Austin. Not until Mike told him about his wife's condition. Mike explained the whole situation to Lawrence, and Lawrence was determined to rescue his wife from the claws of Duncan. Mike couldn't do any other thing than trust the president's words. Working with Duncan was like working with the devil himself. Even after doing all they want, they might still kill his wife in cold blood. He wasn't ready to experience that. Sighting Brian

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. Seated in a young senator's office, Duncan crossed his legs as his lips curled into a grin, “Mike Harrison, senator of Blackwoods state.” he began, leaning closer to take in his features. Mike had raven dark hair and pale green eyes. Striking features that would charm any lady. He looked like a soft man who wouldn't be able to withstand any pressure. It was exactly the kind of person Duncan was in need of. Weak and vulnerable people. Since Brian and the president were forcing his people to stop working with him, he might as well form alliances with new people. Mike was his new target. He was only a senator, but he had influence like the governor of a whole stat

As the election date moved closer, Lawrence, the president and Brian, worked hand in hand to ensure that the position didn't fall into the wrong hands. It was a sunny afternoon; the trees were green, the air clean and the sky was bright. It was the perfect time to have a campaign, and rather than holding it in Halls, Lawrence held it in a public space, where people moved around freely. There were free drinks, free food and there was no discrimination. People of different status were welcomed, each of them dressed in their best outfits. Lawrence stood on the podium with a microphone in his hands. Rather than having a robotic speech that would bore people, Lawrence conveyed his heartfelt message towards the people. He promised them a brighter future, a better world where everyone would be treated equally. Even though he was the incumbent president, there were still some mistakes he made and so, he assured the people he would keep to his word and amend his mistakes. While Lawrence co

Due to the president's words, Killian did his personal research on the dancing 9, but he realized that It was quite hard to get anything on the group. However, that only fueled his desire to know more, especially why they wanted the presidential position. Few days into the search, Killian confirmed the president's words. The dancing 9 was indeed a group who was involved in illegal activities.Killian had no idea that he had been working with desperate people. People who would kill to get a certain position. If not for the president, he would have been in the dark for ages. Few minutes later, a waiter walked towards him with a tray. He bowed towards Killian, “Good day, sir. I would like to take your order.” Slowly, Killian raised his head to meet the waiter’s eye, “I'm expecting someone soon. I'll take my order once he arrives.” His voice was soft, polite, and unconsciously, the waiter's lips curled into a smile. Killian had a meeting with Austin at this particular restaurant. Howev
