The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 102
“Do you want a ride?” Jeremiah asked, sitting on this newly bought motorcycle and staring at the beautiful vixen a few feet away.“Yes,” Britney smiled then abandoned her unconscious ex-boyfriend and walked over to the motorcycle. “Here,” Jeremiah said as he gave her the helmet she had left on the seat when she first got off the motorcycle and she thanked him with a lovely smile. Everything about Jeremiah gave her butterflies in her stomach. From his dashing looks to the way he spoke, to the mystery surrounding him.Who was he and where did he come from? The uncertainty drove her crazy and in the moment she felt like the female lead of a romantic novel who was about to be swept away and taken on a wild adventure. Britney got on the motorcycle then she looked at Kris’s unconscious body and asked Jeremiah “Are we just going to leave him there like that? What if something happens to him?”Jeremiah looked at the young man he had knocked out with a single punch and he groaned. “Don’t w

“Wake up!” The sound that rang in Kris’s ears before receiving a hot slap that made his eyes shine open. “What’s going on?!” Kris exclaimed as he sat upright and began to pant. He had just regained consciousness and was completely confused about what was happening. He tried to assess his environment and to his surprise he saw a bunch of scary-looking men in black suits, standing in front of him and their eyes focused on him. Kris could see that they were watching his every move like a predator to a prey and that struck concern into his heart. Who were these men, and what did they want with him? He wondered. Just then, the sting of the slap he received that woke him up started to register and Kris quickly placed his palm over the area and winced in pain. “Did somebody slap me?” Kris asked, grimacing in confusion. “Yes you were and that would be me,” said the guard crouching beside Kris. “Who said that—?” Kris asked as he turned his head and jolted when he saw the guard right n
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 104
Inside the castle.Reginald was having a meeting in his study and in attendance was his trusted right-hand man and butler, Kingston, and the powerful Shaman, Obadiah. They were all behind the office desk and in front of them were Steven and some guards. “So, are these the guards who said they saw Lord Crimson?” Kingston asked his personal guard, Steven, whose response was a single nod.Steven pointed at the first guard in the lineup and told him to speak.The guard stepped forward and greeted Reginald and Reginald acknowledged his greeting.“Alright then, tell me what you saw” Reginald instructed, his ears opened and ready to listen to the information about to be conveyed.“While searching around the ceremonial building for any sign that would lead to Sir David’s whereabouts, I encountered a suspicious figure whose identity was concealed by the hooded shirt they wore. Thinking that this hooded figure had something to do with Sir David’s disappearance, I approached them and questioned
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 105
What did the guard mean that one of the guests, who came to the estate with David, was abusing someone on his estate? “I talked to the young lady as I carried her back to the castle because her ankle was broken, and she told me that one of Sir David’s friends tried to force himself on her and would have succeeded if Lord Crimson hadn’t arrived and taken care of him” The guard said and Reginald groaned with disappointment. So David was friends with someone who would do something as disgusting as try to force himself on a defenseless girl? Yet another reason why Reginald was growing increasingly disappointed in David. What kind of royal aligns himself with such a person? How shameful. “So this young girl the lord saved from being assaulted, what’s her name?” Reginald asked, thinking that Kristin was Lynette because he, just like everyone, didn’t know that Dark Emblem had kidnapped her along with David. “Her name is Kristin, Your Majesty,” the guard said, and Reginald was instant

“What do you mean you have a way to find the—“ Obadiah asked hurriedly but was cut off. He was curious to know how Steven, a regular mortal, was able to track Jeremiah when he couldn’t do the same with magic. What did he obtain between the moment of leaving the study and returning that was more powerful than magic itself? Obadiah wondered and that he would soon find out. “How are you going to find the Lord?!” Reginald asked. Just then, Steven turned to the opened door and said “Bring him in” “Him? Bring who in?” Reginald mumbled, grimacing confusedly. To Reginald’s, Kingston’s, and Obadiah’s surprise, a guard walked into the study, and being pulled along was a strange guy who they had never seen before. “Stay right here,” the guard said as he made the guy he forced into the study stand in one place. “Who is this?” Reginald asked Steven, who had closed the door and stepped closer. Steven looked at the stranger and said “Go ahead. Tell the king what you told the guards who f
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 107
“You heard me. I said you should get down” Jeremiah said and Britney grimaced in confusion. Her expression, however, was concealed by the helmet she wore.She looked at the road, stared at all the cars that drove by then she looked at Jeremiah and said “Here? On the highway?”Nonchalantly, Jeremiah replied, “Is there anything wrong with that?” “B-but I thought we were going to continue driving around the town for a while and afterward you were going to drop me off at home,” Britney said, a smidge of disappointment in her tone.“What made you think that?” Jeremiah asked and Britney jolted.It finally dawned on her that all Jeremiah had said after he bought the motorcycle was if she wanted a ride. He never said where he was going to drive her to and he most certainly didn’t promise to drop her off at home.Immediately, Britney became embarrassed.“I-I don’t know. I just thought that it was implied and h-honestly, I was looking forward to having you over. We could have watched a movie w
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 108
Jeremiah craned his head from left to right, scoping the area for any sign of life, because from where he sat, the place seemed very dead. All the lights were shut off and even for the time of night it was currently, the environment was strangely too quiet and all his instincts were telling him that something was off. From what Jeremiah saw, everything was clear from where he parked his motorcycle to the furthest part of the chemical/gas processing plant he could see. Granted, the angle from which he was doing his surveillance didn’t give him the full picture of the plant, so there could very well be people in the area that he just couldn’t see. However, that was where his heightened sense of hearing came in. Besides just looking, Jeremiah had also listened for people, and from what could hear, the place was vacant. Clearly, Lynette and David were inside the plant because their scent trails were leading him to the chain-link fence in front of him, and if they were there then
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 109
The gruesome and grotesque nature of the sight before Jeremiah left his stomach at odds.‘What kind of people would do something like this?’ Jeremiah asked himself as his heart filled with more disgust for Dark Emblem than it already was which says a lot because he already hated them to the core.On the other hand, what else did he expect from the same people, who planted a bomb at his welcome ceremony, and had no problem for everyone which numbered more than a hundred and fifty people— counting the guests and workers— to die?There was no point in reasoning with the members of Dark Emblem because they’ve shown themselves to be the worst types of beings in the entire world.Worse than the most deadly animals in the wild because the animals at least work off of instincts and a need for survival, whereas these ones do evil with their full heart when they don’t have to, and all for what?For power? How sickening.If they are powerful enough to hypnotize someone and use a spell to concea

CHAPTER 178
Just two days ago, the phrase “I live to serve you, My Lord” was something Jeremiah never imagined he would hear directed at him. However, hearing it from Reginald had transformed it into the most enticing sentence anyone had ever spoken to him.This just goes to show how quickly things can change in a matter of hours. From being a nobody orphan whose wife cheated on him and asked for a divorce, to becoming the heir of the most powerful family in the world who also had a very beautiful woman/mythical being waiting for him to remember their past together so they could get married.His life truly was a dream come true and if he was told two days ago that this was what his near future would be, he never would have believed it.“Thank you” Jeremiah replied and Reginald, whose head was bowed, smirked. Seeing Reginald, their king and the highest authority they’ve known for many years, bow to Jeremiah felt strange to the maids but it was also nice to watch because it meant that everything w
CHAPTER 177
With each passing second, the turmoil and fear in the hearts of all the maids standing there increased to new heights. Jeremiah, having never been in this type of situation before, was clueless about what to do.As someone who had spent his entire teenage and adult years being looked down upon by all the people around him, Jeremiah had gotten used to not being and also not being seen as a threat or an object of fear and intimidation to others.Things changing to what it was now felt jarring and Jeremiah was left not knowing what to do to quell the situation. “Umm…” Jeremiah said but stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked to the side and saw that it was Reginald holding him. “Dad?” Jeremiah mouthed.“Don’t worry, My Lord. You’re still new to this and until your past memories come back, you’ll have some challenges ruling over people. Fortunately, you have me to help” Reginald smirked. Jeremiah looked at the crowd of maids then he looked at Reginald and calmed down.
CHAPTER 176
Seeing Jeremiah transform before their eyes was like watching a scene from a movie, but with the most spectacular special effects imaginable.The color and texture of his arms changed, becoming scaly in appearance and possessing a toughness almost equal to steel. They also grew longer, with the muscle fibers becoming more prominent, while the fingernails lengthened and turned completely black.Speaking of his fingernails— which could be called claws at that point— they looked sharp and hard enough to effortlessly slice through flesh and even cut through bone like marshmallows.Jeremiah's facial structure also went through some changes, becoming less human-like— sharper and wider to be exact. His teeth grew longer and sharper, his ears elongated like elves’, and his eyes…His eyes completely changed in color and shape, taking on the appearance of a reptile’s, with a dangerous black-and-gold tint that sent chills down the spines of everyone who met his gaze.If this were a video game, b
CHAPTER 175
The maids all looked in the direction Reginald was gesturing at, their eyes as sharp as eagles as they tried to see who Lord Crimson was. They had never been more interested in anything than they had been in this particular topic since it was brought to them. After all, who wouldn’t be interested in finding out the validity of something that had been a major part of their life growing up? After looking for a moment, all the maids could see were Jeremiah and Kingston—no one else. Confused, they glanced away from the two, wondering if Reginald had gestured in the wrong direction.There was clearly nothing in the opposition direction too so they didn’t even bother looking there. Instead, they looked among themselves and pondered if Lord Crimson hadn’t come to the room yet. Still, that didn’t make sense because the look on Reginald’s face was that of someone who was certain that Lord Crimson was where he was pointing. However, their eyes told them otherwise—so what on earth was going o
CHAPTER 174
The maids glanced at the guards, who, as they realized while panicking about their throbbing tongues, had remained straight-faced throughout the entire ordeal. They then groaned, grateful for the clarification Reginald had just provided.“Only a select few didn’t experience what you all did but do not be offended by that,” Reginald said, drawing the maids’s attention back to himself.The few who didn’t feel the discomfort on their tongues because the secret spell wasn’t cast on them were Bruce, David, Kingston, Reginald, Obadiah who casted the spell, and of course Jeremiah. The maids could figure out the identity of the people Reginald was talking about and weren’t offended by it. Rather, it made them more curious about what Reginald was going to tell them that was going to shake their worldview.“The sensation you all felt was the result of a spell called The Secrecy Spell. Its purpose is to make sure that none of you can relay what you’re about to find out in this gathering to some
CHAPTER 173
All the maids started reacting to the sensation they were having on their tongues, wondering what was going on.Was it in all their heads or was something actually physically happening to them? Some reacted calmly and level-headedly to the strange sensations their tongues were experiencing, while others panicked. However, they were all concerned and worried about their tongues suddenly acting up.“My tongue. What’s happening to my tongue?!” Said one of the maid who moved her tongue around her mouth, trying to understand the strange sensation she couldn’t explain.It was like the tongue was throbbing, getting hot, itchy and numb, all at the same time, which didn’t make sense and was something that had never happened before. “You’re feeling that too? I thought I was the only one. What’s going on?” Said another who brought out her tongue and touched it, not feeling the throbbing or hot sensation on her finger which made her think that she was imagining it but that didn’t make sense be
CHAPTER 172
Jeremiah used to think that the platinum debit card he got from Anthony, the manager of Polaris Bank, was the highest form of debit card anyone could get and use for his/her transactions. However, here he was finding out there was an even greater level than that. The Black Debit card.This was a card that only one bank in the entire world provided its customers. In fact, the bank only provided the Black Debit card to its customers and only on the condition that they meet certain financial criteria that 99.999% of the world’s population would never reach.A customer has to have at least ten billion dollars in cash before they can open an account with them and once opened, the Black Debit card is provided.The name of the bank was Sentry Bank, and there were fewer than seventy people in the entire world who had an account with them—Jeremiah being one of them.“I had always planned to have you abandon your current bank account and opt for the new one Kingston was going to create for you
CHAPTER 171
After watching Lynette and Elizabeth leave the throne room and the door get closed, the four men who were once having a meeting before being interrupted, returned to that. “I never would have guessed that what just happened would happen when we started this meeting a couple of minutes ago, but I’m extremely happy that it did” Reginald said and Jeremiah groaned.“His Majesty is right, My Lord," Obadiah said, making Jeremiah look at him. "With Miss Lynette's knowledge of the past and her claim of having taught you not just a simple magic spell but the most complex and powerful one in the world, she will be of greater help to your growth in magic than I ever could."Jeremiah thought about what the shaman said and grimaced.“You’s right, she might— no, she will be of greater help to my magic training than you can.” Jeremiah said, making Obadiah to smile prematurely. “But, she also said that it will take a while for her powers to come back after she’d resurrected for the first time in a l
CHAPTER 170
Hearing what Lynette had just said, Reginald, Kingston, and Obadiah—who remained silent—were all relieved yet shocked that their hypothesis was correct. Granted, Jeremiah had been the one to come up with the hypothesis, but they had all believed in it.Now, this revelation brought about even more questions they struggled to articulate, especially since Lynette was no longer the maid they once held authority over.As a being very similar to what Jeremiah was, Lynette—who had existed for centuries—didn’t have to answer to anyone if she chose not to, and her behavior so far, speaking to the king and Kingston like regular people, made that abundantly clear.“Even I was confused when she woke from her rest and claimed she used to be close friends with Lord Crimson before his reincarnation. At first, I wondered how that could be possible, given that Lord Crimson’s reincarnation took place centuries ago. But the honesty and conviction in her words made me curious to know if she was telling t
