The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 116
“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

Meanwhile, inside the middle car, Kingston, who had heard the conversation between Steven and the front car driver, looked at Reginald, who had also heard the conversation. “It appears we’ve found Sir David, Master Reginald. What should we do?” Kingston asked. “For David to be here where the tracker we got from that young man led us to, it only means that Lord Crimson is here too.” “I suppose so, but isn’t it suspicious that the young Sir was here when he was kidnapped by Dark Emblem? I can’t believe he just managed to escape, then that easily,” Kingston commented, and Reginald groaned.“Yes, I also think it’s kind of suspicious. Are you saying that Dark Emblem is using him as some kind of decoy?” Reginald said.“I wouldn’t take it past them. Let’s have the shaman check and see if everything is okay before we let our guard down,” Kingston advised. “You’re right,” Reginald said, then Kingston went ahead to tell Steven to contact the car Obadiah was in.[“Yes, your majesty?”] Obadia

Like the rhythm of beating drums, the hearts of the maids pounded in their chests as they stared dazedly at Lynette.If they hadn’t been aware of the truth prior to her appearance they would have thought that they were looking at a ghost— or no, an angel— with how she looked currently. As maids who had spent years working in the king’s castle—a place that demanded the finest attention to detail with every glance—they were able to notice it within seconds.Lynette was different from what they remembered. They couldn’t quite put their finger on it but their instinct told them that something about her was different— the same thing Jeremiah said to himself when he saw Lynette enter the throne room during his meeting with Reginald, Obadiah, and Kingston. Though it was a subtle change, her relaxed expression wasn’t the same as the one they had seen for years. It didn’t just appear more mature for someone her age, who had little life experience beyond being a maid—it also radiated confide
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
