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

Just like with Daniel back at the house a couple of days ago, Jeremiah told Victoria all about his family and she got increasingly shocked the more information he conveyed. And just like with Daniel, he omitted anything that had to do with the fact that he was not from this world but a Dragon that reincarnated.With her eyes widened, Victoria just sat there, having no idea she had been quiet for a full thirty seconds since Jeremiah stopped talking. “Aren’t you going to say anything?” He asked, snapping Victoria back to her senses.“I’m sorry, I was just taken aback for a moment but I’m fine now. I can’t believe I’m sitting at the same table and having a date with the future king of Crimson Fall. This is insane” she said, unsure whether she should smile or be nervous, but leaning towards nervousness. Jeremiah chuckled.“You don’t have to be nervous around me, you know that right? It’s not like I changed into an all-new person. I’m still the same Jeremiah who you used to get coffee fr
CHAPTER 320
The dining hall was themed like the ocean and with the blue ambiance of the entire room, Victoria’s red dress popped and became the center of attention.All four walls of the dining hall had transformed into a display of the deep blue sea, showcasing different fish life like a big aquarium. Just like the cold they had felt when the elevator changed into a space-themed interior, the dining hall had a salty and fresh smell to it that made the whole thing more believable.Like that wasn’t crazy enough, swimming through the open space of the dining hall were holographic fishes and the beautiful in design perfect in scale. "Jeremiah, look at that!" Victoria said as she pointed at one of the holographic fishes that was her favorite aquatic life.Jeremiah grimaced, looking impressed by the fish which was one he had never seen before."Wow, this is amazing!" Victoria smiled, completely mesmerized by the showcase and before she could feed her eyes to her heart's content, Presley spoke out."Y

“It hasn’t been designed yet? Y’all made it seem like something so grand when it hasn’t been designed yet? Is this some kind of sick joke or something?” Presley looked at him with surprise.“Oh, Mister Wellings didn’t tell you about this? I’m terribly sorry, sir. Since you took his place to be here, I thought you would have been informed about the workings of the dining hall but you weren’t. It’s my fault for not being proactive enough and asking what you knew before taking you here because it looks like we’re up to no good” Presley said. “The workings of the dining hall? What does that mean?” Jeremiah asked, managing his annoyance.“Well, Chandler over there is an architect as you heard me say before and the walls of this room, just like the elevator and the passage we just walked through are lined with resonance crystals, although these ones are stronger”Jeremiah grimaced. “Resonance crystals? What are you talking about?” Victoria asked. “Well, madam, resonance Crystals are a s
CHAPTER 318
Jeremiah and Victoria looked all around the place and just like the elevator, the Emperor floor was also themed like the solar system but because of the size, it felt like they were in the vastness of space.Again, Jeremiah found it intriguing that he was just thinking about his father’s planetarium and space then all of a sudden everything changed to match that like it was some kind of magic. "Thank you," Jeremiah said then looked at the two hosts individually and asked, "So which one of you should I address from now on, or is it going to be both of you?""That would be me, sir. My name is Presley Montgomery and I'll be your host for the evening" the male host said with a hand on his chest as he bowed in respect.“The Emperor floor offers two hosts and leaves it to the guests to choose who they want to be catered by. Typically a man goes with a man and a woman goes with a woman but the option to pick it’s still there, so if you want to pick my colleague, Annabelle Grimes, then that
CHAPTER 317
“Are you ready to go up?” Jeremiah asked Victoria. Feeling a bit nervous because she wasn’t sure of what was going to happen next, she moved in closer to Jeremiah and nodded.“Yes, I’m ready” she replied.“Alright,” Jeremiah said then focused on the buttons there.To indicate how increasingly luxurious the floors became the higher up you go, the elevator buttons were used to showcase that. Each floor had unique and beautiful buttons assigned to it in the already alluring and stylized gold-plated panel.There was one specific button out of all the rest that looked like it was the most important button. As such, that button was the highest one in the lineup with a notable gap between it and the ones directly underneath.That meant that the level of luxury afforded between the room that that button led to and the one under it were day and night apart which could only mean one thing.“The Emperor floor,” Jeremiah said the moment he identified the button and wasted no time pressing it.Th
CHAPTER 316
“No, Master Jeremiah didn’t lose to me” Wellings replied and Victoria grimaced in surprise.“Wait, then does that mean you lost against him?” She said, shocked.She couldn’t fathom how someone like Wellings could lose to Jeremiah in an auction when auctions are won based on money.Was Welling’s saying that Jeremiah was richer than him? But that’s not possible, right?Wellings chuckled.“Not at all” he replied and that didn’t help to clear Victoria on what had happened.“So was it someone else? Did you two lose to another bidder?” She asked, trying her best to understand.“I did, but not Master Jeremiah” Wellings answered.Victoria tilted her head as she asked “What does that mean?”“Let me put it like this. I won something and lost some in that auction, but Master Jeremiah on the other hand only bided for one item which he won”Victoria furrowed her eyebrows.“Jeremiah beat the other bidders for the item? Is that what you’re trying to say”She wasn’t trying to belittle Jeremiah with h
CHAPTER 315
“I suppose you’ve noticed that this building isn’t what it used to be a year ago,” Wellings said and Jeremiah grimaced.Since Jeremiah had been poor for most of his life which only changed less than a month ago, he didn’t know that much about high-end restaurants like The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant or any other one out there.The only reason he did was that Mary used to nag him about going to one every anniversary they had since they started dating, each time growing increasingly frustrated when he said he couldn’t take her because of his mother’s health issues and other responsibilities that needed the money.Her nagging only stopped after they got married and Jeremiah noticed that she hadn’t said anything about spending their anniversary as a dinner date in The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant.Jeremiah had just thought that she had finally understood his financial challenges and had decided to not bother him about something he couldn’t afford. Little did he know that she was
CHAPTER 314
At the moment, Jeremiah was very suspicious of Wellings because of Grey, who had also known his identity even though he hadn’t been the one who told either of them. Now, the question was whether Wellings was another member of Dark Emblem, because if he was then things wouldn’t go well for him. After how angry Grey had made Jeremiah during their last encounter, any member of Dark Emblem who Jeremiah came across would pay the price for the things that happened. Still, Jeremiah gave Wellings the benefit of the doubt, having a feeling that he wasn’t a member of Dark Emblem because of one complex reason; the fact that Wellings was tricked by Grey’s illusion spell and had communicated with Martha in the auction house. Now, Wellings could have been pretending that she was real, just like Grey was. But, the way their interaction was very hostile proved that he wasn’t playing any tricks. Why argue with someone he knew was an illusion and risk escalating the situation to a point that might
CHAPTER 313
Jeremiah and Victoria walked into the Reyal Darling Gourmet Restaurant and were immediately greeted by the spectacular ambiance and marvelous interior designs. The air smelled and tasted like something from the past, having a welcoming feeling about it that dropped the guard of each individual person who was enveloped by it.It was like walking into a different realm that prided itself in providing the best luxury and comfort possible and this was just the entrance. How heightened would those feelings be in the main dining?The small number of staff members Jeremiah and Victoria had seen all seemed professional in their respective roles and everything came together like a well-oiled machine. “Welcome, sir. Please enjoy your time at The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant” greeted the staff who was on Jeremiah’s side of the entrance while the staff by Victoria’s side greeted her too.The beautiful nurse couldn’t help but smile as she had never experienced such excitement before. She cou
