The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 207
Leviathan's voice dropped to a lower degree, making Brandon shift uncomfortably in his seat. The young man sitting across him was indeed terrifying. Only his voice was enough to instill fear in his heart. He averted his gaze from Leviathan and turned to look at Jeremy, indirectly asking for his help. Jeremy shrugged his shoulders and looked elsewhere. After all, Brandon was the one who had asked to meet whoever they were working for. Coming to Leviathan's home without results was like coming to a lion's den. Brandon sighed, “I'm still working on it. I'll make sure I get the location of the vault.” he said, his gaze fixed on the marble floor. Brandon had stared at Jeremy, wanting him to bail him out on this; but the bastard was too heartless. “Just give me a little more time.” he continued, raising his head to stare at Leviathan. Leviathan smirked, “How much time do you need? Do I look like someone that's willing to wait? Or you think I got you out of prison to listen to your filthy

The street bustled with life as everyone went about their daily activities. In a certain place close to the ocean, the director held the script and glared angrily at an actress who was taking too long to bring her character to life. Brandon on the other hand looked bored to death. He stared at the actress who fidgeted with her hands after being scolded by the director. She looked frustrated. The audition wasn't so hard. Why was the director acting strange? “We'll start again. Diana, bring your character to life. This shouldn't be so hard. I thought you were perfect for this role.” he snapped, wondering why Diana wasn't as good as they say. Although, during the audition she didn't have to do much due to the backing of someone powerful. Perhaps she was really a bad actress; and if she continues this way she would ruin the movie. “I'll try again.” Diana muttered, releasing her hands to place them at her sides. The first scene was about a girl who found out her lover had been cheating

“What's he doing here?” Brandon muttered below his breath, barely audible for anyone to hear; however, it didn't escape Ethan's ears. Ethan turned to stare at the man seated across him and smirked, wondering what connection he had with the CEO of the Duke Empire. Diana on the other hand was calm and composed. The young girl didn't look experienced and exposed. She was sure she wouldn't be able to muster the courage to perform. Few minutes later, Theodore turned to the young girl, “You should have checked through the script now. It's time to show us what you've got.” he said calmly and she nodded her head. Ivy was nervous and shaken. For the first time in her life, she was in the presence of well respected actors and actresses. It was like a dream come true. Something she had never believed to happen. With slow and practiced steps, she walked towards the man and woman who stood by the shore. “Action!” Theodore yelled and it didn't take up to a minute for Ivy to get into character. S

“What?” Brian gasped, unable to believe what he just heard. “What do you mean someone broke in? The security outside, the body guards, the CCTV cameras, did they avoid everything? They were able to go unharmed?” he asked again and Lyra nodded, unusually calm, “I don't know how they did it but I just noticed some missing files.” “Then are you okay?” Brian asked, checking her body thoroughly as fear settled in his heart. He facepalmed himself, wondering why he had allowed such a thing to happen. He should have known he couldn't underestimate them, but breaking into his home was so out of it. All his important documents were in Ashton Hills and for them to come here, they seem to be searching for something other than having him killed. Something important in his possession. Brian couldn't think of anything else other than the vault and staff. Practically, apart from the fact that the staff was built with gold, there was nothing special about it. However, the vault was extremely import

“Yes” Jeremy muttered, “Leviathan sent some of his men over.” He added, getting up to have a better view of Brandon. “I'm just shocked we were unable to find nothing. It's like Brian Duke has a completely clean record and safe handling of his important files. All the files there are useless.” he said, frustrated to death. Jeremy stared at his palm and sighed, tracing the stitch with his fingers, “This would be another scar. I wonder what I'll name you.” he chuckled, finding the whole matter amusing. As a teenager, Leviathan had taken Jeremy under his wing. Becoming the Cabal 8 leader at that young age, Leviathan became greedy and dangerous; he always wanted everything for himself, even at the expense of another person's life. Adding to that, Leviathan had the habit of torturing people for his own advantage. Jeremy was quite surprised he had refused to torture Brian into telling him where the vault was. If Leviathan was used to torturing everyone to have his way, why not do it wi

For the past few days, Brian had been busy clearing his schedule. After finding out about Richard's location, he had been looking forward to having a meeting with him. Finally, the perfect day for a meeting between two well respected and powerful men, and also a day to find out some certain secrets. The drive to the old man's house was smooth and peaceful. There was no disturbance and he also didn't notice any strange car tailing him. Last night, the special defense team of the Tycoon 6 arrived in Helix city. Brian relaxed because he finally had his family around him. People he could trust to protect his wife. Due to the way those men had broken into his house, Brian fired the previous bodyguards because he believed that some of them were spies; if not, none of them would have been granted entry into his home. Brian discarded the thoughts and focused on the road. After driving for a few more minutes, he finally arrived in front of the building. Compared to houses of the Tycoon 6 me

The tension in the air was palpable. Richard stared at Brian, shocked by the words that just rolled off his tongue. Stanley Duke was a highly respected man. A person Richard was quite familiar with. A few years ago, before his death, Richard had almost made him the leader of Cabal 8. Stanley was smarter, stronger and better than Leviathan. He was qualified in several ways. Coupled with the fact that he was the Tycoon 6 leader and is the gateway to the vault he has had eyes on for years, Richard was compelled to choose him instead of Leviathan. It was a fierce competition. Leviathan was a child Richard had trained as his own. They weren't related by blood but their bond was stronger than blood relatives. Richard was torn between family and friendship. Stanley was more qualified and so, Richard secretly planned to dethrone Leviathan. When Leviathan found out, he had told him it was merely because Stanley was in possession of the Vault; but a few weeks later, Stanley died mysterious

Couples sauntered in and out of the grandiose restaurant, taking advantage of the warmth due to the summer evening. Soft chatters and stifled laughter filled the air, making the atmosphere warm and cozy. The warm air brushed some hair off her face, and her lips curled up in a smile. With a tray in her hands, Ivy swiftly attended to a few guests who patiently waited for their turn. Exhausted by the day's event, she cleaned off her sweat and continued working. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a familiar figure strode into the restaurant. His chin held high. Due to his presence, a few ladies turned their necks, directing their gaze on the Greek god that just walked in. Brandon smiled and winked at the ladies, feeding them with his charm. One thing he learned about being an actor was to always pay attention to his fans. Brandon knew they weren't his fans, but ignoring them now might put his reputation at risk. Sighting Ivy, his eyes glinted coldly. For the past few days, he had s

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
