The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 151
Brian traced the written words with his finger tips, his brows furrowed in confusion. He stared at the words for seconds, wondering why he couldn't understand it. If it was the location of the vault, then he had to understand what was written there as soon as possible. Brian turned to Albert, showing him the staff, “Do you understand what's written here?” he asked, hoping Albert would know a thing or two. Just when he thought everything was over, he still had the mystery of the vault to solve. Albert shook his head as he stared at the staff, “I don't understand what's written there, master.” he said politely. Brian sighed, disappointed they couldn't understand the words on the staff. As time wasn't on their side, Brian decided to act fast about it, but first he would make sure the staff was safe. “Let's leave this place. It's almost dinner time. I need to take my wife out tonight.” Brian said with a smile, making Albert chuckle. “You must be really happy about this staff, Master.”

Nadia strode in, her head held high as she acted like she owned the place. After spending a few years in China, she was glad to finally be back home. Breathing the air of Ashton hills, she was filled with joy. The town where she had many memories, good and bad ones. Sighting a familiar figure, she squinted her eyes, wondering if it was actually the person she thought it was. “Brian and Lyra?” she muttered below her breath as she walked closer, but doubt slowly filled her heart when she saw the expensive outfit of the beautiful couple. “Brian, please.” Lyra laughed at a joke Brian said, and then, Nadia knew they were the ones, but what was with the pretense? Why was Brian dressed in an expensive suit and not his usual degraded clothes? Just because he took Lyra on a date? Nadia scoffed, rolling her eyes in anger as she glared at the couple. Lyra was her friend, someone she was so close to. Just when she was about to get married to that pauper, Nadia would call to mock her, telling h

Nadia chuckled, “While you're still being nice? Are you threatening me?” she asked with a smile, wondering why Lyra was trying to act high and mighty. “Look, I understand you're in pain, but didn't I warn you? I told you to divorce this pauper but you ignored me.” she added as she picked up the menu to check for a meal. Lyra’s heart raced, her fists tightly clenched as she felt like ramming Nadia's head on a wall. She couldn't believe the girl just walked into a restaurant to cause trouble. As much as she wanted to stay sane, Nadia was hell bent on driving her insane. “Who told you I'm in pain? My husband isn't a pauper, Nadia. Get that into your skull.” she said coldly as she placed her hands on Brian's cold hands, giving him an assuring gaze. Seeing Lyra's actions, Brian smiled brightly. Nadia's words didn't bother him at all. Instead, he was surprised by her stupidity. He didn't know a director's wife had the right to act this way. What if he wasn't the owner of the Duke's Empire

Lyra scoffed, “I think you should be frightened instead, because my man would crush yours without a second thought.” she said through gritted teeth, frustrated by the turn out of today's lovely event. As she had dolled herself up, she planned to have the best night of her life. Who would have believed an idiot was hell bent on making her night miserable? If one should compare Ethan to Brian, the difference was glaring. One could easily tell the one who was much more powerful. After all, Ethan was a director, and with how Nadia said he was a billionaire, Brian was sure he embezzled money. It was a gut feeling and the feeling was always right. Hearing Nadia's taunted words, he suddenly wanted to see the supposed man Nadia praised. He wanted to see how powerful and strong Ethan was, but letting Nadia go for what she did was impossible. What if he had planned to propose to Lyra on this night? Nadia would have ruined it with her stupidity. Turning to Lyra, he smiled, “Let's wait for her

Nadia felt her legs turn to Jelly as her heart skipped a beat. The fear she felt in her heart was something she couldn't describe. She gulped nervously and stared at her husband, hoping he would tell her Lyra’s words were filled with lies. With her hands on her cheeks, she took a step backwards, wanting to escape from the restaurant as fast as possible. The CEO of the Duke's Empire? Brian? The wretched Son-in-law? Getting on his nerves was like a death wish, and Nadia was stunned she just signed her doom. While she had been mocking Brian she didn't forget the knowing smirk that was plastered on his face. Was he waiting for her to deliberately embarrass herself? Why didn't he stop her? “Where do you think you're going?” Brian asked with a smile, frightening Nadia to death. His smile seemed to be a facade when there was something different in his heart. What was he going to do? Destroy her career? It's not like she had one. Was he going to ruin Ethan's career? The thought of that made

Brian sat down calmly and crossed his legs, “Are you surprised?” he asked with a smile, “You think anyone can just kick me out?” he added, enjoying the look of shock on James' face. He seemed to have noticed Brian became boldness, but the fact that he wasn't with the staff delighted him. Other members sat down and watched Brian, a frown etched on their features. Frustrated, a member yelled, “What do you think you're doing here? Didn't you hear what James said? Get the fuck out of here!” his voice thundered, making Brian wonder why the whole members despised him so much. After all, they had invited him to become a member, succeeding his father. Why the sudden change? Because he was too young or because they realized he found out about the staff? Brian couldn't be bothered by any of their words. He found the staff, and indirectly, he was already the indispensable leader. There was nothing they could do about it. He turned to the man who just yelled, “What am I doing here? Do you think

“James, are you insane?!” Theodore yelled, getting James all riled up. He should understand the importance of the staff in Tycoon 6. Even if he joined a few years ago, that didn't give him the right to talk to the current leader that way. Theodore sighed. Angered that a young boy was leading them, but then, there was nothing else they could do. They started the game but Brian had surpassed them in it. James glared at Theodore, his eyes almost bulging out of his sockets, “Why are you yelling at me, you imbecile?!” he snapped, “We all agreed for me to become the leader. Now because of the staff we're allowing this kid rule over us? What if the staff he brought is fake!” he said through gritted teeth. Hearing James' words, the remaining members of Tycoon 6 facepalmed themselves, surprised a grown up man could act so stupid. Even if they had promised to make him their leader, it was because of the staff! Now that the staff was in Brian's hands, he had no right to say that bullshit. “Did

In a luxurious and well furnished office, Martin was seen seated across from his assistant who had a file in his hands. His gaze was cold and detached, giving the young boy a fright. He couldn't understand why his boss was obsessed with getting the Duke's Empire. To him, no matter how hard they tried, it was always going to be a futile attempt. Getting the Duke's Empire was impossible, and Martin was willing to stop at nothing to get the prestigious Empire. “What's the update?” Martin asked as he picked up a mug from a glass table, inhaling the pleasant scent of the coffee before bringing it upon his lips. He stared at his assistant, urging him to speak. The young man cleared his throat, “Currently, we've only acquired 8% of the Duke Empire's shares. We're progressing, sir.” he said respectfully. Martin's lips stretched into a wild grin, satisfied by what his assistant just said. 8% shares of the Duke Empire. Soon, the whole Empire would be his. He turned to the young man, “How muc

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. Duncan was nervous and so was Austin, but since they had already bribed, threatened and forced several people, they relaxed a little. 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. Austin walked out of his building, shoulders raised, head held high. He was nervous, but deep down he knew he was going to emerge as the winner. While the election was taking place across all states and cities in the co

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
