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

“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

Jeremiah grinned, happy about the news of him getting to learn magic.Magic was something every kid wished they could do growing up, but eventually, they would become disappointed when they found out that it wasn’t real. However, not only was Jeremiah going to fulfill his childhood dream of learning and then doing magic, but it wasn’t going to be the type the magicians he loved to watch did. This wasn’t going to be tricks or sleight-of-hand gimmicks, but rather the real deal.The same type of magic that only existed in fictional movies with characters seemingly doing the impossible with just the utterance of words and now he was about to be one of them.“Now that Dark Emblem has been informed of the Lord’s return and will be preparing to come for him, do you realistically think that you have enough time to teach him magic that would make a difference between winning or losing?” Reginald asked. Obadiah looked at Jeremiah from head to toe, placed his hand on his chin, groaned, and the

CHAPTER 142
Inside the Study, Reginald, who noticed that Jeremiah’s mind was elsewhere, asked him what he was doing. Jeremiah had actually been eavesdropping on David, wondering if he would say anything that would expose his involvement in the gas processing plant’s explosion and prove to Jeremiah that his suspicion was right. However, that didn’t happen and Jeremiah got annoyed that David stopped talking all of a sudden. From the last sentence Jeremiah heard David say before abruptly cutting himself off, he concluded that David knew he was onto him and was actively trying not to expose himself. Or perhaps it was just a coincidence, and Jeremiah was wrong about the whole thing—meaning David wasn’t involved in the explosion at all. There could only be one answer to the two possibilities, and time would reveal which one was correct because sooner or later, David was bound to slip up. All Jeremiah had to do was wait for that moment to come. Jeremiah replied “Nothing. I was just listening to wh

CHAPTER 141
David, looking at Jeremiah, blinked multiple times to emphasize his shock.Even though he had once thought that Jeremiah had joined hands with Dean and Adam to kill all the guards—after seeing the dismembered bodies when he escaped the plant—the fact that this was only an assumption and was never confirmed left him with some doubt that Jeremiah had ever gotten blood on his hands.That assumption quickly vanished after he heard about how Jeremiah saved everyone at the welcome ceremony from the Rubik's Cube bomb and even traveled a great distance to save him.However, when Jeremiah admitted outright that he had killed Dean—and went on to elaborate on how he did it—it sent a shock through David's body. He realized he might have been wrong about who Jeremiah had killed, but not about the fact that he had killed someone.‘So he really is a cold-blooded murderer’ David thought and gulped.Just then, David noticed something that felt concerning.He looked at Reginald and the three other men—

David tried standing up but before he did, Kingston offered him a hand. David looked at Kingston’s hand but instead of accepting, he felt insulted. The fact that he had just heard that Jeremiah, his one competition for the throne, was a powerful being who could do whatever he wanted, made him feel weak and useless in comparison, and seeing Kingston’s hand annoyed the hell out of him.Still, he had to maintain composure.“No thanks. I can stand on my own” David said, feigning a smile.“As you wish, Sir” Kingston replied then retracted his hand and stood upright while David went on his feet and walked back to where he once was.“Are you okay?” Reginald asked.However, David, who was annoyed that Reginald felt it necessary to ask that question out of concern for his earlier reaction, forced a smile.“I am Uncle, so please, continue,” David said. Reginald looked at Jeremiah and said “You should also listen to what I’m going to say because it involves you as well” “Okay,” Jeremiah grim

CHAPTER 139
Reginald started by revealing the history of Crimson Fall to David, who at first was confused as to why he was telling him an old folk tale but soon realized why when Reginald told him the part that only the king and a select few knew. The moment David heard about reincarnation, his eyes widened, asking himself if such a thing existed.Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only bombshell he was going to hear as the story continued to unfold.Reginald told him that it was the Garrick family's mission to make sure that Lord Crimson, the powerful dragon who ruled over Crimson Fall for centuries, reincarnated and like that wasn’t enough, he gestured at Jeremiah and told him that Jeremiah was Lord Crimson, reincarnated.“I’m sorry what?” David asked, trying to make sure he wasn’t mishearing things. “You heard me right. Your cousin, who we all thought was dead, is our one true ruler. The all-powerful, Lord Crimson” Reginald said passionately. David’s eyes blinked multiple times as he looked at

CHAPTER 138
The boldness with which Jeremiah said “Yes, I did” demoralized David. It was like he was telling David that he didn’t regret what he did and was daring him to reprimand his actions. Knowing that he couldn’t lash out at Jeremiah for what he did, David had no choice but to gulp and accept what happened and move on— making him more mad because he hated being made to feel small and insignificant. “I’m sure you had your reasons but can you please tell me why you hurt my friends,” David asked, making sure to choose his words carefully so as not to sound like he was confronting Jeremiah. “Friends? I think you’re misunderstanding something, David.” Reginald said and David quickly looked at him, wondering what he was talking about. “Jeremiah didn’t hurt your friends but your friend. Only one person was hurt by his hands” Reginald clarified. David grimaced. He reflected on Reginald’s words and remembered that the king had said “friend” instead of “friends” when he revealed that the per

That’s right, he had completely forgotten about his punishment because of the night he had, but it’s a good thing Reginald was bringing it up now.What was his uncle going to say? Hopefully, something along the lines of, he had seen that David had learned his lesson and because of that he had decided to bring the punishment to an end. David thought and started smiling discreetly.“After the aftermath of the explosion at the welcome ceremony, I have decided that—“ Reginald said, but David cut him off.“Explosion at the welcome ceremony?! What explosion?” David asked and Reginald paused.“You haven’t heard about the explosion yet?” Reginald asked. “No, I haven’t. There was another explosion but at the welcome ceremony?” David replied.David had been so anxious to find out what Jeremiah knew about the gas processing plant explosion that he was tunnel-visioned from everything else. He had just gone to his room to freshen up, changed clothes, and then went to Reginald’s study for the mee

CHAPTER 136
After looking at everyone in the Study and seeing how they were staring at him— especially Jeremiah’s whose stare was like a predator’s to a prey— David, who realized that he was in a hot mess, thought of how to get away from the situation.How could he spin the story and change the narrative in his favor? He wondered and his brain started working at a million miles an hour in search of the answer.Soon enough, a thought came to his mind and he decided to go with it.David started chuckling, making everyone wonder why he was doing that.What did he find so funny?“Uncle, what gave you the impression that I knew about the explosion before it happened?” David asked.Reginald, who thought about the question, grimaced and adjusted how he sat.“Well, if I remember correctly, you were rambling about how we should leave the area and were adamant about it for a good minute before the building exploded, so I thought that your behavior was because you beforehand that the building was going to e

CHAPTER 135
Once inside the study, the first thing Jeremiah did was pause and groan when he saw David standing in front of the desk. Kingston, who was just as surprised as Jeremiah at the sight of David, jolted and asked “Sir David, you’re already here?”“Yes, he is. Truthfully, even I was surprised when he arrived before you two did, but for some reason, he seemed eager to have the meeting which I guess is a good thing because I have so much to ask him” Reginald said.David, who was trying his best to keep his cool and act normal, turned to Reginald and smiled. “I just wanted to tell Uncle what happened because I know how worried he was about my disappearance and maybe that will calm his mind a little,” David said.Reginald, who didn’t know the young man’s true motive and believed his words, smiled. He took David’s feigned concern for him as a sign of David changing and attributed it to the punishment he gave him working. Speaking of the punishment, what was going to happen now that the guard
