The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 134
“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

“Do you know how hard it was to get this dress?!” she growled as she glared angrily at Brian. Shocked by her statement, he tried to calm his raging emotions and forced out a smile, “Miss, I apologize for this. I really didn't mean to.” he apologized. The woman, Marietta laughed out loud, her hands tightly clenched into fists, “Do you think an apology is going to solve everything?! You've ruined my dress, you bastard! My priceless dress has a stain on it and I don't think it's ever going to get off. Here you are offering me a useless apology. Is the apology going to give me a new dress!” she thundered, her eyes blazing with fury. Brian sighed as he reached for his pocket. Bringing out his card, he stretched it forward, “There. Take the card and keep the change.” he said with a yawn as he was quite tired of the lady's tantrums. All he wanted was to enjoy the air around for a while, and now, this woman was ruining it all for him. At the sight of the card, Marietta flushed red with ang

“Mr Duke, pleasure to meet you.” Hudson stretched his hand for a handshake, which Brian accepted. Marietta stared at the duo, her heart racing in her chest. She was terrified by what she had just found out, and she didn't know how to tell Hudson about it. “Mr Duke, please I'll…” his words were cut off as Marietta suddenly wrapped her hands around his waist, “Honey, I feel weak and dizzy. Let's leave this place.” Marietta knew her husband had a soft spot for her, and she hoped her next plan would work. If it didn't, then she was really doomed. Hudson furrowed his brows as he watched Marietta feign a tired expression. Under his scrutiny, he noticed the stain on her dress, “Marietta, what happened with your dress?” he asked, slightly shocked by the huge stain. As Marietta cherished the dress so much, he was surprised she would ruin it on just the first day. “I did it.” Brian's voice was heard after a while as he stared at the couple in front of him. Blood drained from Marietta's face a

“Didn't you hear me? Beg him!” Hudson snapped as he glared at her, making her heart twist in pain. For years, her husband had never looked at her that way. The fact that it was in a public place made it even worse. With everyone staring at her, Marietta wondered if she would be able to utter the words. Apologize? In the presence of everyone? Marietta shook her head, her fists tightly clenched by her sides. Even if she was going to lose everything, she would still preserve her dignity. The humiliation was just too much. With her hair a bit messy, and the patch on her dress, Marietta looked like someone who had been maltreated. Her eyes were puffy and her cheeks stinged with pain. From time to time, she would rub the spot, hoping to ease herself of the pain, but the one in her heart was too intense. She couldn't handle the disdainful glances everyone was throwing at her. As they pointed at her, it seemed like they were mocking her deep down. She badly felt the urge to stand and leave

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.

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

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

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
