The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 115
Jeremiah looked at Dean and said “Why would I go through the trouble of saving him from you only to turn around and kill him myself? I’m not like you bastards” Jeremiah was disgusted Dean could even ask him such a stupid question. “T-then what did you just do?” Dean stuttered. “What I did was get you fuckers out of his head,” Jeremiah said, then slapped David’s face and he woke up. David gasped as his body sprung up and he started panting. He had just just woken up from being choked, so he needed as much air in his lungs as possible. Seeing David, Dean jolted with a shocked look. “Cousin? What are you doing here? Speaking of here… where are we?” David asked as he tried catching his breath. “You broke the spell?” Dean mumbled, utterly shocked as he saw David acting normally. He knew that a way to get rid of the mind control was to knock the victim out, and then when they woke up, they would go back to normal again, but he didn’t think Jeremiah would do that. Did Jeremiah k

“Now that I don’t have to worry about another person’s safety anymore, I can go as hard as I want to. Let’s see how you do with nobody to hide behind” Jeremiah smirked. Dean, who heard that sentence and felt belittled, scoffed. “Don’t think I’m going to make it easy for you. It doesn’t matter if you’re the reincarnation of Crimson, the power dragon or not, I’m not going to go down as easy as you think” “We’ll see about that” Jeremiah replied and with that, the battle started. Dean raised his hands the same way he did when he and Adam were trying to absorb the magical energy they thought David had. His hands were like that of a pastor preaching to a congregation and without wasting a second, he started casting a spell. Watching and reading Dean’s lips from where he stood, Jeremiah saw that what he was saying was different from what he said when he cast IMPLOSION or SHIELD, meaning that whatever he was casting was a different spell. Not knowing what that spell was or what it

Jeremiah groaned, annoyed that things had become more challenging than he expected.Who would have thought that Dean was capable of doing something as impressive as changing the trajectory of his spells, turning them into homing missiles basically? Well, he was a mage with a lot of knowledge and experience and a member of the most powerful magic organization in the world, so nothing he did was to be taken as too much of a surprise, but still, this was ridiculous. Good thing Jeremiah had been cautious and waited to see what Dean did before attacking because he could have acted haphazardly and ended up getting hit with a surprise attack that would kill him. Dean pointed his hand at Jeremiah again and the six fireballs shot at him, but unlike last time, Jeremiah knew that just dodging them wasn’t going to be enough. He had to find a different solution.Jeremiah saw the six fireballs flying towards him and just as he was about to dodge, he stopped when he saw them change direction and

The way Jeremiah held Dean up by his neck— his toes barely touching the floor— the mage started suffocating. However, his ego wouldn’t let him beg Jeremiah to let him go. Instead, he tried to take advantage of the fact that he and Jeremiah were so close to try and attack Jeremiah again. Dean reached into his pocket for a knife, while also using all his willpower to retain consciousness, and he tried to stab Jeremiah.Unfortunately for him, Jeremiah was just too fast and observant to be taken down like that. He saw Dean reaching into his pocket for something and the moment he pulled out a knife, Jeremiah grabbed his wrist.“Not so fast,” Jeremiah said and started squeezing Dean’s wrist.“Come on. Drop it” Jeremiah instructed, and the pain of his hand being crushed plus the fact that he was about to pass out forced Dean to let go of the knife.“Good” Jeremiah smirked, then he looked at Dean’s face and continued to wonder what he should do with him. He had promised to kill both him a

He just realized that what Jeremiah said was true and there was no way to escape the plant if Adam hoped to continue concealing himself and Lynette. If he wanted to escape, then he would have to do so without Lynette, but because of how important their mission was, Adam wouldn’t do that, so it was only a matter of time until he died at the hands of Jeremiah. Jeremiah took a deep breath, sighed, and said “Now, it’s time for you to answer my questions. Where are the rest of your members hiding?”Dean, who was expecting that question, frowned.“Not going to answer, I see. Well, I have more fingers to break,” Jeremiah said, then grabbed another finger and snapped it.Dean groaned, doing his best to withstand the pain, while Jeremiah grabbed the next finger and got ready to snap it if he had to.“I said, where are the other members of Dark Emblem hiding?!” Jeremiah asked.“Is that all you’ve got—?“ Dean said, but Jeremiah cut him off by snapping another finger. “Snap all you want, you w

A couple of minutes ago, after David left the room Jeremiah and Dean were in, like Jeremiah instructed, he roamed around the building trying to find the exit.“Why is it so hard to leave this fucking place?!” David complained then, without meaning to, flash-backed to Jeremiah telling him to leave and he smacked his tongue.“That bastard! Telling me what to do like he owns me or something. Who the fuck does he think he’s talking to?!” David clenched his fists “Just because he’s the heir apparent, he thinks he has the right to command me like I’m one of the useless castle servants. Well, just wait until I take that position back.” David smacked his tongue, then he let go of any further thoughts concerning Jeremiah— for the moment at least.“I wonder what happened with the welcome ceremony. Did Benson and the others do their jobs like they were supposed to? Speaking of jobs, that bastard, Desmond, dared to disobey me like that,“ David said, remembering how Desmond had disregarded his or
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 121
Though he hadn’t seen the exit, he knew that as long as he followed the signs, he would eventually find it and be able to leave the building.With that, he took his first few steps to leave, but then, the memory of Jeremiah telling him to leave flashed in his head again and his anger shot up.All the ass-kissing he had been doing to get on Jeremiah’s good side filled his blood with vitriol and, all of a sudden, the thought he had been having on different parts of his journey in search for the exit entered his mind once more:‘If only Jeremiah wasn’t around’If only Jeremiah wasn’t around, everything would have been fine for him. No fear of missing out on the kingship. No fear of someone else more influential than him telling him what to do. The pride of being the next king and the most influential man in the world. Everything good that he once had but now was shaky because of Jeremiah. If only Jeremiah wasn’t around anymore.“I have to get him out of my way,” David said, and his face

Looking at the lock on the gate, David saw two lights. A blue one and a green one.Using his comprehension skills, he deduced that the blue light was used to indicate when the gate was electrified and the green one was used to know when the gate was locked. Unfortunately, the color of the buttons on the console didn’t match the two lights on the gate as all of them were black, so unless someone had been trained to know what each button did, they’d have to press them to find out.Luckily, there weren’t that many buttons on the console, so it wouldn’t take long for David to press the right ones and accomplish his goal of getting as far away from the area as possible before the plant exploded. David pressed the first button and nothing happened, or so he thought. Turns out that button was meant to shut down the security cameras outside the checkpoint, but because he wasn’t looking for that, he didn’t see it.“Next,” David said, then pressed the second button on the console and this ti

Victoria’s caution and confusion disappeared as a smile popped onto her face.“I’m fine. How are you?” She asked.“I’m good. By the way, you look great. After only seeing you in that dreaded nurse uniform throughout all the years I’ve known you, this right here is a nice change of pace” Daniel stared at her dress excitedly.“Why, thank you. It was a hassle getting it ready for today because of some issues with the dry cleaning but I’m glad everything worked out in the end and someone likes it” Daniel looked at Jeremiah and said “You hear that dumbass? She wants you to compliment her on her dress so stop being shy and do it already” Victoria jolted.“No, no, no. That’s not what I was getting—“ she said in a panic but Jeremiah cut her off.“I’m sorry for not saying it in time but your dress looks amazing. Your hair and make-up too. You really look great” Jeremiah said and the nurse went silent, a blush appearing on her cheeks. Daniel, who was proud his best friend was dating again, s
CHAPTER 311
“Oh, wow. Look who’s dressed to impress” Daniel grinned as Jeremiah walked towards him—rolling his eyes and shaking his head as he chuckled light heartedly. “Don’t tell me you dressed like this just for me. I’m honestly flattered” Daniel joked, his hands on his chest. “Haha, very funny,” Jeremiah said sarcastically.“I know. I’m a hoot” Daniel grinned for a moment and then his expression became one of curiosity.“But on a serious note, why are you dressed like that? If I didn’t know better I would have thought that you were going on a date”Jeremiah was silent, momentarily forgetting the advice Grey had given him about the meaning of silence in a conversation that had turned into a question.Observing Jeremiah for a moment, Daniel’s eyes widened as a smile grew on his lips. “Wait, seriously? Congrats man, but why didn’t you tell me that you’ve seen someone new after the dumpster fire that was Mary?!” Daniel patted Jeremiah on the shoulder.“I’m so happy for you, man. You deserve to

[“Hey, dude. How’s it going?”] Daniel asked.Jeremiah cleared his throat, a look of guilt in his eyes as the idea of what he was about to do made him sick. He knew that he was about to betray Daniel’s trust and as a result, wasn’t as happy about Daniel’s call as he was pretending to be.“Everything is going fine on my end. Yours?” Jeremiah replied. [“Never been better, bro”] Daniel said, his voice hinting that there was something important he wanted to convey.Jeremiah already had an idea what it was about, so he just tried to get it over with. “That’s cool. Anyway, what’s the surprise call about? Are you perhaps calling about that stuff?” Jeremiah asked. [“Stuff? Do you mean the wedding ring? Oh, yeah, I’m at work and nowhere near the missus so we can speak openly”]“Oh. Alright then. So, are you calling about the ring?” Jeremiah asked.Daniel chuckled.[“What? I can’t just call to talk to my boy without having a reason?”] Daniel said with a tone that was a dead giveaway that he w
CHAPTER 309
A couple of days later—on Friday—Jeremiah, having just finished his training for the day, during which he made several breakthroughs and worked up a sweat, went to his room to freshen up.Once there, he picked up his phone from the table and called Obadiah’s number.“It’s been multiple days since we last spoke and the funeral is tomorrow so he should be on his way to Bakers View by now” Jeremiah monologued as he waited for the shaman to answer his call. Normally, in a sensitive situation like this, Jeremiah would have used the relic to reach out to Obadiah. However, thinking that the shaman was already on his way to Bakers View, Jeremiah wasn’t sure if he had blended in with the public and was in a place where he couldn’t use the relic—which created a visible hologram of the caller. So, he opted for a phone call instead.Unfortunately, after waiting through the ringing of Obadiah’s phone, the call terminated without being answered. Jeremiah grimaced.“Let me try again,” he said then
CHAPTER 308
“Crimson is in Bakers View?” One of the silhouettes, colored orange said and the others turned to it. “That’s very interesting. Tell us how your encounter went down” The other silhouettes returned their gaze to Grey and waited to hear the story he was going to give— a tale that was very important because it involved their organization’s greatest enemy. Grey went ahead to give the details of how he encountered Jeremiah— doing so in a succinct manner. From their meet-up at the auction house to their altercation behind the Mercury Jewels Jewelry store after Jeremiah had figured out his identity. Every detail gave them a better understanding of who they were messing with. “So there was a relic out there that could counteract your mind control and illusion spells,” said the black silhouette. “That’s insane, considering the fact that you are the most powerful member of Dark Emblem when it comes to mind control and most especially illusion spells,” said the white silhouette. Gre

Grey drove all the way to a very expensive hotel somewhere in the city. He parked in front of the entrance and the valet stationed there rushed to the car to greet him. However, instead of waiting outside for him to come out, the valet grabbed the driver-door and opened it for him.“Welcome back, Master Grey” the valet greeted, bowing his head with a massive smile on his face. Grey acted like nothing was said to him— his face unbothered and emotionless as turned his body, indicating that he wanted to step out. “My apologies, Master Grey” The valet moved out of the way, giving Grey the space to step out of the car— which he did. “I hope you had a wonderful outing, Master Grey,” the valet said but was ignored as Grey walked past him. But, from how the valet looked, it didn’t seem like Grey’s behavior affected or deterred him from wanting to please the powerful Dark Emblem mage more.The valet faced the interior of the car and had wanted to enter but saw the portrait and box in whic
CHAPTER 306
Meanwhile, back at the Mercury Jewels Jewelry Shop— at the back where Jeremiah and Grey had their confrontation—two of the staff were there, crouching by the wall and smoking a cigar.It was their break and this was what they usually did.“Damn, today was a really good day. So many customers coming in to buy expensive shit and the day isn’t even over yet. At the rate we’re going, I have a feeling we’ll be getting a pay raise soon” said one of the staff.“It probably has something to do with the auction that took place not too long ago. Business usually booms during it but I hope you’re right ‘cause I really need the extra money. My kid is about to go to college and I want to put him in a really good one that will help him have a bright future” said the second staff. “Speaking of your kid, how is he? He doesn’t visit you as much as he used to in the past” the first staff said.“Yeah. He’s at that age where he doesn’t want to hang out with his old dad anymore but he’s a good kid” “Tha
CHAPTER 305
“Alright, Lynette, what’s the catch to this so-called ability of yours?” Jeremiah asked, his tone hitting his fatigue. [“Since it's an automatic death sentence for the person I'm linked to the moment I die, it means their life ends when my current lifecycle ends—and a new one begins with me being reborn as a newborn.”] Lynette replied and Jeremiah groaned. “So you’re saying that if you manage to go through this battle without getting temporarily killed, Dad will remain alive no matter what for the next thirty-nine years which is when your current cycle ends,” Jeremiah said, his tone extremely skeptical.[“That’s right. I’ve linked with only one person in all my lives and thanks to them I know exactly what this ability is capable of and what its limits are. I and the person in question cannot be unlinked once linked. That’s the price they pay for accepting the link and gaining short-term immortality”]This meant that Lynette couldn’t just link with any random person. They had to know
CHAPTER 304
Reginald had to admit that Jeremiah made a lot of sense with what he had said. Things were very dangerous with Dark Emblem knowing Jeremiah’s whereabouts and were going to attack him at any moment. Reginald was already someone they wanted dead— although he wasn’t a priority like Jeremiah and Obadiah were— so it would basically be the same as putting him on a silver platter if he was anywhere near Jeremiah whenever Dark Emblem decided to attack. They would definitely kill him first if the opportunity presented itself. Or worst-case scenario, they would try to use him as a hostage and make Jeremiah unable to attack as strongly as he would have. Granted, the likelihood Dark Emblem does that is very low because they didn’t have a good impression of Lord Crimson and thought he didn’t care about any human being enough for them to work as a hostage against him. However, the fact that Jeremiah risked his life to save everyone at the welcome ceremony, made things different and that narrat
