The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 162
“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

Tyla walked towards Martin and chuckled, “Martin, just look at your state.” she said, bending down to his level, “Just look at what you've done to yourself. Come on, go clubbing again tonight. Don't you think your little bitch is waiting for you?” she smirked, her eyes filled with coldness. For what Martin did a few weeks ago, slapping her in the presence of a wh*re, she despised him to the core. To make matters worse, he allowed the wh*re to insult her and say all sorts of words to her. Tyla was angered beyond words, but Martin still had the guts to push her out of the club. He clearly told her to stay out of his life, and that was exactly what she would do. Hearing Tyla's words, Martin was filled with rage. He tried to stand, but he fell back to the ground. He groaned in pain as his injuries hurt as hell but Tyla stood there unmoving. “Martin, I trusted you with all my heart but you chose a slut over me. Where is she now?” she mocked, walking around Martin like a predator staring

Few days later, James decided to visit Brian and apologize. With each passing moment he was losing his stand and respect. He had promised an organization to return with the staff and share the contents of the vault with them, but he had failed shamelessly. As he had exhausted almost all his funds in searching for the staff, all he had left wouldn't last him a year. The Tycoon 6 was really his life, and getting kicked out has affected his life in several ways. Upon reaching the Duke's Empire, he wondered how Brian was going to react upon seeing him. Although James was a member of the Tycoon 6, he had his own Empire, but without the backing of the Tycoon 6 would make it collapse any moment from now. He had started to regret all his actions just when he got kicked out. He didn't receive special treatments anywhere again. Now he was just an ordinary person. After having a talk with the receptionist, he was allowed to go into Brian's office. After knocking for a while, Brian's voice ra

Landon Scott walked into the courtroom with a frown etched on his features. It was just the first hearing, but he was sure Brian must have gathered enough evidence. Slowly, Landon walked towards the opposite seat next to Victoria, sitting right beside his lawyer. Victoria flinched, fear creeping into her heart but her lawyer assured her, “It's okay. He can't do anything to you.” he gave her a small smile, making Victoria relax. The courtroom was silent with everyone eagerly staring at the judge, wondering why he was taking too long to start the session. At the same time, the judge banged the gavel, “The court is now in session.The case we have before us today is Victoria and Landon, case number 2023-002. Mr Gerald, proceed with the opening statement. Mr Gerald, Victoria's lawyer, stood up and bowed slightly. He then said, "On behalf of Victoria, my client, we allege that the defendant, Landon deliberately caused a third degree burn on her arm which caused her skin cancer. In this

“The Hidden Location of the Vault?” he gasped, his eyes widened in surprise. His heartbeat quickened, his hands trembling as he read the next words on the black sheet. As he read the words, his frown deepened as he couldn't believe that the Vault was actually in the outskirts of the city. Below a building which looked weak and deserted. It could be any building, but then, a symbol was going to tell. The symbol was drawn on the black sheet and he was suddenly determined to get that Vault. Below meant underground. Right? Then the code written on the staff was definitely the code to unlocking the vault. No one would have realized that the vault could actually be hidden there. Checking the time, he shook his head since it was almost midnight. He wished the next day would come quickly, Just so he could hurry to the location and find the vault. Due to how secretive the information was, he decided to act on it alone. Not like he didn't trust Albert, it was better some things remain hidden t

Seated calmly in his office, Brian was checking through a pile of files. He sighed as he was quite tired of the unending work he had to settle everyday. As he picked up his pen to sign on the file, Albert knocked on the door and walked in when Brian instructed him to. “Master, this is an invitation card to an event which would take place today.” He said as he placed the card on Brian's desk. Brian furrowed his brows, taken aback by the sudden invitation. He opened it up and chuckled when he read the content. “The event was taking place today and they're just informing me now? Haven't they heard of the word, ‘Busy’?” his voice carried a bit of irritation, making Albert wonder why his boss was in a bitter mood. “I'm not going. Toss it in the trash can.” he ordered coldly as he pushed the invitation card away. He was exhausted, and attending an event now would only add to his problems. Albert picked up the invitation card and sighed, “Master, it's an annual event. One for higher-ups. A

“Brian, I've heard so much about you.” Lancelon Knight said as they walked inside, taking in the young man's appearance. Although he had been looking forward to the event, he wasn't expecting to meet the man whose Empire controlled 70% of a city. Brian smiled at the president, Lancelon. He was still shocked the president of a whole country had taken interest in him. “There's really nothing special about me.” he chuckled as he walked side by side with the president, earning stares from the onlookers. To move with the president of a whole country wasn't something that you would see everyday. Business men of several companies wanted to approach Lancelon, but he seemed strict and stiff. The man seemed to take interest in Brian alone, and that alone angered them. The event was about to start, and so a lot of people trooped in, dressed in extravagant outfits. Walking towards the seat reserved for the highly esteemed guests, Brian sat down right beside the president. As the event went on,

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
Chapter 279
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
