The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 156
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

Brian's gaze turned cold as his heart skipped a beat. Merely by listening to his mother's words, he could sense the fear and anxiety. He could tell his mother was terrified and angered by how she had to endure so much pain just because of a single person. Watching the reason for your misery walk right beside you wasn't something everyone could handle. “Mum, calm down.” he said after a while, not wanting his mother to dwell in fear. For years he had been searching for that bastard without letting his mother know. She had refused to tell him the name of the man even after asking several times. That imbecile who caused his mother so much pain. If not because of him, then she wouldn't have been in the hospital with a disease which was barely curable. If not because of his rise to fame and wealth, she wouldn't have the opportunity to go through several experiments and surgeries just to get better. Does he have to think about the embarrassment of begging the nurses to reduce the price of

Albert frowned as he heard Brian's words. “Martin Scott?” he asked, his voice laced with doubt as he didn't quite get what his master said. Brian nodded, “Yes, Martin Scott.” Brian confirmed. He knew that sly bitch was up to something, and if he should find anything, he was going to make sure Martin wished he was never born. Brian was aware of the constant threats made by Martin. Several times he had heard him talk about what he had in store, and how he was going to make him beg for mercy. The thought of that made him smirk. Was he that weak in their eyes? “Alright master, I'll make sure I check both of them. I'll give you the information tomorrow, sir.” Albert said respectfully and Brian nodded, hanging up the call to stare at a non-existent thing. “Brian.” Lyra walked in, surprised to meet Brian in a confused state. He happened to be staring at something, but there was actually nothing there. His behavior worried her, and wanting to comfort her husband, she walked closer and wrap

Few weeks later, The invitation card to Brian and Lyra’s elaborate wedding circulated the whole of Ashton Hills. All her friends celebrated and looked forward to the wedding. Although it wasn't yet confirmed, people overheard Brian talking about having the wedding on a yacht. He had promised to make it the best wedding of the century, the best wedding in the whole of Ashton Hills. Lyra became the woman everyone envied. They all wanted a perfect man like Brian Duke, but that would be in their wildest dreams. Lyra had been with Brian even when no one recognized him, so none of them deserved someone like Brian.Harry stared at the invitation card and scoffed. Lyra and Brian were planning a second wedding? The one everyone in Ashton Hills would notice? Even if he wouldn't have Lyra, then maybe no one else should. The next wedding would never be successful. Not when he was still alive. ***“Albert.” Brian called out when Albert walked into his office. “Congratulations on your wedding, m

“Father, we've only acquired 10% shares.” Martin said proudly, earning a glare from Landon. Landon looked like he had seen a ghost, as he was unable to digest Martin's words, or perhaps, did he hear wrong?10% shares. That was impossible. “Martin, you're joking right?” Landon asked, his voice raising slightly as he turned to the imbecile he called a son, “Tell me it's not true! In months you've only acquired 10%? How's 10% going to be useful for me? Do you think I can threaten Brian with 10% shares? Does that even make sense to you?!” he growled as he flinged the file away. He was angered by Martin's incompetence. In a month, Martin was supposed to have acquired something tangible. Something reasonable and satisfying, but 10% shares wouldn't get them anywhere! “I gave you enough time, Money and resources! Why..why do you only have 10% shares? Are you this incompetent? Getting shares now is tough for you?!” he spat, his anger palpable. Now that Martin only had 10% shares, how was he

Martin stumbled to the back, his eyes wide with terror. The words he never wanted to hear again, his father had said it with no remorse. He shook his head, hoping everything would be a joke but it wasn't. He was no longer the heir to the Scott's Empire. “Father, you c..an't do this to me.” he stuttered, hoping his father would change his mind. For the past few weeks, being the heir to the Scott Empire brought back his lost respect, but losing it again would ruin him. People would wonder if he had messed up again, and he wasn't willing to give people the satisfaction of watching him falling to the ground. His heart was filled with despair, and he badly wished that his father would have mercy on him. His position was his life and losing it would only drive him insane. Martin got on his knees. He placed his forehead on Landon's shoe and pleaded, “Please, please don't take everything away from me.” his voice choked as he cleaned his tears on his father's shoe. Martin was devastated, dev

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
