The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 118
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

Inside the room where Jeremiah and Dean had fought their bottle— which had now become consumed by the hellish flames of the devastating series of explosions— was a pile of rubble that was trembling and slowly falling apart.The two men, Jeremiah and Dean, whose fierce battle had concluded with Jeremiah’s overwhelming victory and Dean’s death by decapitation, were nowhere to be seen. Their whereabouts, however, were still inside the room, but in very interesting locations and conditions. On one side of the room was a massive chunk of wall with blood and brain matter splattered in front of it and the source of both was none other than Dean. The chunk of wall had fallen and crushed his decapitated head, causing everything to shoot out and litter on the floor. As for Dean’s body, it was no longer in the room. There was a hole in the floor where the headless body used to be and, looking through the hole, the body could be seen, engulfed in the flames that had consumed the lower floor.A

Jeremiah had his hand on his chin.He focused on what was under the cloth and tried using his heightened senses to see if he could figure out anything about it besides the fact that it was a box. With his hearing, which was greater than a bat’s, Jeremiah had what could only be described as radar— the type used in science fiction movies to know exactly what something was just by sound alone.“Huh?” Jeremiah said after he had tried using his radar as best as he could but realized that it wasn’t working.Well, not that it wasn’t working as he could picture everything else in the area that wasn’t in his field of vision with the radar but the item underneath the cloth that was to be auctioned was undeterminable.‘What’s this? Why can’t my senses pick up anything?’ Jeremiah asked himself, finding it very strange.He focused even harder, using the fullest range of his radar, which allowed him to have what could only be called omniscience as he could perceive everything in the room, but stil

“For the next item, I have to inform everyone that there’s a little treat or should I say catch to it as that’s the correct term to use here,” The auctioneer said and the other bidders groaned in confusion as complaints flew everywhereUsually, all the rules are given at the start of the auction so why was the auctioneer trying to bring something new now? The bidders wondered and weren’t appreciative of what was happening.“What exactly do you mean by that?” One of the other bidders asked just as the worker with the item to be auctioned stepped forward.“First of all Master Xavier, I know that this is very unconventional but the client that provided us with this item explicitly instructed that we should start the bidding price at ten million dollars. The second thing they requested is that we give it to the first person who makes a bid for it which means that there isn’t going to be a competition for who can pay the most as whoever raises their paddle first wins the item. We are also
CHAPTER 290
All the other bidders squeezed their paddles furiously and growled at the disrespect they just received. How dare a young lady like Martha talk to elderly men who ranged from a few years to some decades older than her like that?Besides Jeremiah, she was the youngest person in the room but at the same time, she had the gull to speak so confidently.Was she looking down on them just because her master spent thirty million dollars on a quill? How Ludacris of her to have this level of hubris they thought.They will show her what they are made of… was what they all had in mind as they turned away from her to face the auctioneer and went ahead to make their counteroffers.Each counteroffer was with an addition of one to three million dollars and every time someone counter-offered, the auctioneer would state Andrew’s automatic counteroffer of an additional five hundred thousand dollars to the last called amount. Anytime he does that, the other bidders would look at Martha to see if she has
CHAPTER 289
“Mister Andrew, your quill will be waiting to be collected immediately after the auction or delivered to anywhere of your choice if you don’t want to leave with it yourself. Just have your assistant provide us with a location and our company will bring it to you as soon as possible” The auctioneer said while looking at Andrew and Martha“Thank you” Andrew replied.The auctioneer faced the rest of the audience and said “That was just the start of our extremely thrilling and captivating auction so if you missed achieving that prize then do not fret, I have more impressive items behind me as you can rightfully see. With that being said, please bring forth the next item”Immediately after the auctioneer finished calling for the next item, the worker with a long box came forward and then held it up for the auctioneer who opened it and showed that it was a sword inside.This sword was known as the sharpest sword in the entire world. It had a black handle with gold patterns on it. There was
CHAPTER 288
Everyone who stared at Martha wondered what master she could be talking about but there were only two options which were Jeremiah or the man sitting next to him.To them, it couldn’t have been Jeremiah because for one thing, they saw him come into the auction alone and secondly, he didn’t have the charisma that matched someone like Martha.That only left Andrew who they looked at, gracefully sitting with his legs crossed and busy looking bored instead of focusing on the auction.Yes, Andrew looked like someone who would be Martha’s master but that raised a good question; why was Jeremiah sitting between her and Andrew?Just then, some of the bidders who remembered Jeremiah and Martha switching seats and Jeremiah speaking with Andrew spoke, making those who hadn’t been paying attention to the three realize what had happened, providing an answer to their question.The auctioneer, who was just as shocked as everyone to hear such a price jump that went almost three times the original firs
CHAPTER 287
“The first thing my mentor told me was that somewhere out there in the world there’s always going to be someone better than you in some and maybe even all regards. You just have to behave with that thought in mind, always. The second thing he told me is, don’t let what you already know be the wall that you stand on to show your confidence because someone else can come around and turn you into Jericho. An example of that is what Martha just did for you. Take these two lessons and grow my friend” Andrew said and Jeremiah’s face became serious.‘Those things sound somewhat similar to what Obadiah told me when he started training me in magic. What a weird coincidence. Whoever Andrew’s mentor is, I’m sure he is a really cool person’ Jeremiah thought.Jeremiah nodded “Alright sir, I’ll engrave all the lessons I’ve learned from the both of you to heart and arrange my next steps accordingly,” he said.Andrew and Martha smiled, happy to have imparted such great lessons to someone like Jeremiah
CHAPTER 286
“So who are these associates of yours that told you about—?“ Jeremiah asked but Andrew cut him off with a hand gesture that said he should stop talking.“Hush for a moment. You might miss something important when it eventually comes up so no more talking. You are here to bid like everyone else so pay attention” Andrew said, pointing at the auctioneer before ending his and Jeremiah’s handshake. He then turned his entire body towards the podium, resting his back on his chair, and paid attention.Jeremiah, who found figuring out the identity of Andrew’s associates just as important as anything the auctioneer was going to say or bring out because the way Andrew dismissed his question seemed kind of suspicious— like he was trying to hide that information— didn’t want to just give up having his questions answered like that.He also only wanted the magical items that would be brought out among the many items being auctioned— which he had a feeling would be among the last items, so he felt l
CHAPTER 285
"Look, they have just finished addressing everyone and giving the rules for the auction like they always do so it's time to start," Andrew said to Jeremiah, letting him know what was going on because it was his first auction.He then looked at Jeremiah and said "I hope I and Martha didn't distract you from learning the rules seeing as this is your first auction and you needed to know every rule to participate properly" Jeremiah shrugged "Honestly, I got distracted but I catch on quickly. I'll just watch everyone else and you to know what to do when it gets to something I want," he said.Andrew smirked, looking impressed."A smart young man. I like that. Well, since we're going to keep talking through the duration of this auction, I guess it’s only appropriate for us to introduce ourselves. My name is Andrew Loch, and she is my longest friend, assistant, and non-romantic partner, Martha" Andrew said then shifted his gaze to Martha, hinting that she greets Johnathan.Martha turned to J
CHAPTER 284
With a face filled with curiosity, Jeremiah stared at the very distinguished-looking man for a few seconds, taking note of his notable features all through the span of his gaze. The first thing he noticed was that the man seemed just as tall as he was while sitting. However, Jeremiah couldn't tell if they were the same height or if the man was taller because the man had his legs crossed while also slouching a little.From what Jeremiah saw while walking into the room, slouching was something none of the other bidders did as they took what they were there for very seriously. The only other person who slouched was Jeremiah himself and for someone as distinguished and wealthy-looking as the man is, that didn't make that much sense.Slouching made sense for Jeremiah because he had lived all his life minus the past month as a normal person and so all the bad habits like having poor sitting posture and etiquette had all been ingrained in him for decades.The weeks of training he did at the
