The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 117
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

After they had hugged for long enough, Reginald separated David from himself and took a good look at him. “What happened? We’ve been looking for you for hours but never did we think you would be…” Reginald said but was interrupted.Obadiah, who saw the inscription on David’s chest, tried to touch it, but David jolted backward.“Excuse me?” David said, an annoyed look on his face aimed at the strange Shaman he had never seen before.Did Obadiah not know about boundaries? David thought, angry that he had just tried to touch him. “What’s the matter?” Reginald asked Obadiah. “On his chest,” Obadiah said.Reginald looked at David’s chest and saw what the shaman was talking about. “What is that?” Reginald asked— his eyebrows furrowed.“It’s a magic extraction inscription. It would appear that they had tried to absorb the magical energy in his body,” Obadiah said, and Reginald grimaced. David also grimaced, but in confusion, as he thought ‘Magic extraction? Dark Emblem? What is this old

“How does it look?” Deborah asked, holding the dress in her hands and showing it to Jeremiah. “Hmm” Jeremiah groaned, his hand on his chin as he assessed the dress— trying to imagine his mother’s body in it and wondering if it would look good on her Jeremiah had a really great poker face, so looking at him Deborah wasn’t sure if he liked the dress or not and was worried that he didn’t because of what happened with Elizabeth.Was it that he didn’t like the dress because of how it looked or had the incident with Elizabeth soiled his mood to the point that nothing she showed him would suffice? In that case, all she had done to appease Jeremiah might have been wasted if his mood still hadn’t improved.Deborah just hoped she was reading too much into things and Jeremiah was just trying to decide on his impression of the dress.“Can I hold it and see?” Jeremiah asked and Deborah nodded.She handed him the dress and continued to wait for a positive look from Jeremiah after being in her own
CHAPTER 274
From what she had heard when she forced her way into Jeremiah’s conversation with Susan and even when he was about to leave when he mentioned Emmanuella Justice’s name, Jeremiah had said that he was there to buy a single dress for his mother’s corpse. The most expensive dress they had on sale was worth seventy thousand dollars, which was roughly Elizabeth’s annual salary as a salesperson. So, would Deborah really choose seventy thousand dollars over her, a salesperson with years of experience and relationship with the customers? It wouldn’t make any sense to do that so things might be in her favor. Elizabeth thought and started to grin internally. Since Jeremiah wasn’t her in-law anymore, their relationship had been terminated, meaning she couldn’t benefit from his newly found wealth so there was nothing for her to gain if Jeremiah was chosen over her. As such, she prefer if he left and died somewhere with all his money. Just then, the other customers in the store started to murm
CHAPTER 273
People like Deborah were next to impossible to receive forgiveness from once someone got on their bad side because they usually tolerate a lot and are very slow to anger.“I truly am sorry, madam Deborah. This is the only good-paying job I can get with my qualifications so my life will essentially be over if you fire me. I’ve been working here for years, giving my life and energy to make sure the customers are satisfied so please don’t throw me away because of a single incident. I swear it will never happen again” Elizabeth begged desperately.Deborah, who still wasn’t pleased, scoffed.“Instead of begging me, you should be apologizing to Jeremiah for your blatant disrespect. You made him look like a terrible person in front of all these people and me, so the least you could do is beg him for forgiveness but you haven’t which shows you aren’t sorry about what you—“ Deborah said but Elizabeth cut her off.“No, that isn’t the case madam! Of course, I’m sorry for what I did to him. It’s
CHAPTER 272
“What?” Elizabeth asked, her face smeared with confusion.She couldn’t understand why Deborah was insulting her. ‘Am I misunderstanding something? Shouldn’t the insults be hurled at Jeremiah? It should so what the hell was going on here?’ She asked herself but saw that Deborah’s anger and frustration were aimed at her.“W-what did I do, madam?” Elizabeth asked, stuttering every syllable. “I just spoke to Emmanuella Justice and she confirmed that she knows Jeremiah personally. According to her, he is a very nice person and she had such a positive attitude towards him that she told me to give him the best treatment possible. She also said that he didn’t just pay for her mortician services but he paid for the express package. Do you know how much her express package is worth?” Elizabeth gulped.Everyone else in the aisle, who was extremely shocked by what Deborah had just said, was intrigued to know the price of Emmanuella Justice’s express package. “No, madam. How much is it?“ Eliza
CHAPTER 271
“Jeremiah paid two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to a mortician before coming here? Huh?” Elizabeth looked at Jeremiah and was dumbfounded. Wasn’t this the same poor and decrepit Jeremiah who couldn’t take her cousin, Mary, on a worthwhile honeymoon because he didn’t have the money? He was so how on earth did he get a quarter of a million dollars to pay for his mother’s body to be prepared for her funeral? Elizabeth felt like she had woken up in an alternate reality where things weren’t how they were supposed to be and she couldn’t accept it.“I’m sorry madam Deborah but I feel like you’re mistaken. I know that guy very well and he definitely couldn’t have done what you said he did” Elizabeth said, smiling nervously. “Are you calling me a liar?” Deborah frowned and Elizabeth jolted. Her eyes also widened, afraid that she had just insulted her boss.“Of course not, madam Deborah. I definitely did not do that” Elizabeth shook her head vigorously. “It’s just that I can’t accept
CHAPTER 270
Jeremiah looked at everyone around him, seeing their judgmental faces which matched everything they had been saying about him and he glared at Elizabeth who was the cause of it all. Elizabeth was extremely proud of herself and being able to turn everyone against him. For no justifiable reason, Jeremiah always managed to make her sick to her stomach so getting others to feel the same way she did about him was an achievement in her terrible and mundane life.“What’s going on here?” Jeremiah and everyone heard from behind him and they all turned to look at the person who just spoke.“It’s great that you’re here, madam Deborah,” Elizabeth said, staring past Jeremiah and looking at the woman behind him.“Is that so? Someone should explain what the hell going on here then. Why is the store in such a state?” Deborah said. “This bastard over here came to steal from us and I was just about to call the security to come throw him out like the trash he is,” Elizabeth said, making Deborah shift
CHAPTER 269
Jeremiah groaned in annoyance as Elizabeth was the last person he wanted to see on his trip to a store to get clothes for his late mother’s funeral.‘That’s why the name of this shore sounded so familiar. Mary had told me that Elizabeth worked here some years ago’ Jeremiah thought as he kept staring at the angry saleswoman. “Did you suddenly lose the ability to speak or are you trying to ignore my question?” Elizabeth frowned. Jeremiah exhaled exasperatedly. “If you want to know the answer to that question then maybe you should ask your cousin and not me. I don’t have time for your problems today” Jeremiah said then turned around and was going to walk away. Elizabeth jolted, shocked by Jeremiah’s audacity to think that he could walk away from her without answering her question.The Jeremiah she was used to was a sniveling coward who did everything he could to make his wife happy which included putting up with her and all her family members' bullshit, even at the detriment of his p
CHAPTER 268
The name of the clothing store was Sunray’s Delight and the focus was entirely on women’s clothing which was exactly what he wanted. Jeremiah parked in the front of the store and looked at the sign.He groaned, wondering why the name of the store seemed so familiar— like someone he knew had told him about it before that day. The issue was that he was having a hard time remembering who it was because it either had been a while since he was told about the store or he wasn’t paying much attention when they did.“Whatever” Jeremiah shrugged and got off the motorcycle.If he didn’t remember who told him about the store then it meant that the person and the store weren’t that important.He headed to the store’s entrance, but just as he walked three feet away from his motorcycle, some guy stopped him and asked if he could take a picture with his motorcycle.Jeremiah, who was apprehensive of strangers because of what happened with Eric and Charles looked a little skeptical about interacting
CHAPTER 267
That was the first time since hearing about his mother’s passing that Jeremiah was seeing her.He was too distraught and heartbroken by the news of her death that he hadn’t even gone to see her body the day the unfortunate incident took place— also known as the worst day of his life.Knowing that he was finally going to see the corpse after weeks of shoving it into the back of his mind, Jeremiah had been gathering the confidence and strong mindset for that very moment.However, the sight of his mother, who he loved more than anything in the world, lying cold and lifeless on the morgue’s storage slide table caused tears to run down his eyes.He couldn’t believe that she was actually gone. Nurse Victoria, seeing the droplets of tears that landed on the sliding table the corpse was on, looked at Jeremiah with pity. She placed her hand on his shoulder and with a reassuring voice, said “Don’t worry, Jeremiah. She’s found peace and will be happy with the growth you’ve made since she last
