The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 120
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

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

A few seconds later, Jeremiah came up with an educated guess as to why he wasn’t able to smell the two’s scents if Adam had dropped the concealment spell, as he thought. “The fire and smell of smoke must be interfering with my nose and masking their scents . That has to be the reason, because unless that mage is overly cautious and is still maintaining the concealment spell for whatever reason, I should be able to pick up their scents,” Jeremiah concluded. “I guess I had better find the exit and track them down outside,” Jeremiah said, thinking that Adam and Lynette had left the plant because it would be stupid of Adam to cause the plant to explode when he and Lynette hadn’t escaped yet. If only he had known that Adam wasn’t the one responsible for the plant’s explosion. Jeremiah climbed the rubble and started walking to the door which had been blown away and was wide open. “Speaking of David. I hope that was enough time for him to get out of the building. I just hope he’s okay
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 127
Jeremiah couldn’t understand why Adam’s body was there, on the floor, and burnt to a crisp. Wasn’t he supposed to have escaped with Lynette before the explosion even took place? And speaking of the explosion, wasn’t he supposed to have been the one who caused it so how come he got caught in it? He wasn’t that stupid to cause an explosion without having a way to escape in time, right? Because it wouldn’t make any sense if he was that stupid, especially when he had to protect Lynette and take her back to his leader. So many questions flooded Jeremiah’s head as he stared at Adam’s cremated corpse. “Was I wrong and he wasn’t the one who caused the gas leakage and explosion?” Jeremiah asked himself as he looked carefully at Adam’s corpse, wanting to make sure that he wasn’t mistaking someone else for him. Well, he wasn't making any mistakes, and that was Adam’s dead body lying on the floor in front of him. “Was the leakage actually an accident and nothing sinister? But if that’s t

Jeremiah grinned, happy about the news of him getting to learn magic.Magic was something every kid wished they could do growing up, but eventually, they would become disappointed when they found out that it wasn’t real. However, not only was Jeremiah going to fulfill his childhood dream of learning and then doing magic, but it wasn’t going to be the type the magicians he loved to watch did. This wasn’t going to be tricks or sleight-of-hand gimmicks, but rather the real deal.The same type of magic that only existed in fictional movies with characters seemingly doing the impossible with just the utterance of words and now he was about to be one of them.“Now that Dark Emblem has been informed of the Lord’s return and will be preparing to come for him, do you realistically think that you have enough time to teach him magic that would make a difference between winning or losing?” Reginald asked. Obadiah looked at Jeremiah from head to toe, placed his hand on his chin, groaned, and the

CHAPTER 142
Inside the Study, Reginald, who noticed that Jeremiah’s mind was elsewhere, asked him what he was doing. Jeremiah had actually been eavesdropping on David, wondering if he would say anything that would expose his involvement in the gas processing plant’s explosion and prove to Jeremiah that his suspicion was right. However, that didn’t happen and Jeremiah got annoyed that David stopped talking all of a sudden. From the last sentence Jeremiah heard David say before abruptly cutting himself off, he concluded that David knew he was onto him and was actively trying not to expose himself. Or perhaps it was just a coincidence, and Jeremiah was wrong about the whole thing—meaning David wasn’t involved in the explosion at all. There could only be one answer to the two possibilities, and time would reveal which one was correct because sooner or later, David was bound to slip up. All Jeremiah had to do was wait for that moment to come. Jeremiah replied “Nothing. I was just listening to wh

CHAPTER 141
David, looking at Jeremiah, blinked multiple times to emphasize his shock.Even though he had once thought that Jeremiah had joined hands with Dean and Adam to kill all the guards—after seeing the dismembered bodies when he escaped the plant—the fact that this was only an assumption and was never confirmed left him with some doubt that Jeremiah had ever gotten blood on his hands.That assumption quickly vanished after he heard about how Jeremiah saved everyone at the welcome ceremony from the Rubik's Cube bomb and even traveled a great distance to save him.However, when Jeremiah admitted outright that he had killed Dean—and went on to elaborate on how he did it—it sent a shock through David's body. He realized he might have been wrong about who Jeremiah had killed, but not about the fact that he had killed someone.‘So he really is a cold-blooded murderer’ David thought and gulped.Just then, David noticed something that felt concerning.He looked at Reginald and the three other men—

David tried standing up but before he did, Kingston offered him a hand. David looked at Kingston’s hand but instead of accepting, he felt insulted. The fact that he had just heard that Jeremiah, his one competition for the throne, was a powerful being who could do whatever he wanted, made him feel weak and useless in comparison, and seeing Kingston’s hand annoyed the hell out of him.Still, he had to maintain composure.“No thanks. I can stand on my own” David said, feigning a smile.“As you wish, Sir” Kingston replied then retracted his hand and stood upright while David went on his feet and walked back to where he once was.“Are you okay?” Reginald asked.However, David, who was annoyed that Reginald felt it necessary to ask that question out of concern for his earlier reaction, forced a smile.“I am Uncle, so please, continue,” David said. Reginald looked at Jeremiah and said “You should also listen to what I’m going to say because it involves you as well” “Okay,” Jeremiah grim

CHAPTER 139
Reginald started by revealing the history of Crimson Fall to David, who at first was confused as to why he was telling him an old folk tale but soon realized why when Reginald told him the part that only the king and a select few knew. The moment David heard about reincarnation, his eyes widened, asking himself if such a thing existed.Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only bombshell he was going to hear as the story continued to unfold.Reginald told him that it was the Garrick family's mission to make sure that Lord Crimson, the powerful dragon who ruled over Crimson Fall for centuries, reincarnated and like that wasn’t enough, he gestured at Jeremiah and told him that Jeremiah was Lord Crimson, reincarnated.“I’m sorry what?” David asked, trying to make sure he wasn’t mishearing things. “You heard me right. Your cousin, who we all thought was dead, is our one true ruler. The all-powerful, Lord Crimson” Reginald said passionately. David’s eyes blinked multiple times as he looked at

CHAPTER 138
The boldness with which Jeremiah said “Yes, I did” demoralized David. It was like he was telling David that he didn’t regret what he did and was daring him to reprimand his actions. Knowing that he couldn’t lash out at Jeremiah for what he did, David had no choice but to gulp and accept what happened and move on— making him more mad because he hated being made to feel small and insignificant. “I’m sure you had your reasons but can you please tell me why you hurt my friends,” David asked, making sure to choose his words carefully so as not to sound like he was confronting Jeremiah. “Friends? I think you’re misunderstanding something, David.” Reginald said and David quickly looked at him, wondering what he was talking about. “Jeremiah didn’t hurt your friends but your friend. Only one person was hurt by his hands” Reginald clarified. David grimaced. He reflected on Reginald’s words and remembered that the king had said “friend” instead of “friends” when he revealed that the per

That’s right, he had completely forgotten about his punishment because of the night he had, but it’s a good thing Reginald was bringing it up now.What was his uncle going to say? Hopefully, something along the lines of, he had seen that David had learned his lesson and because of that he had decided to bring the punishment to an end. David thought and started smiling discreetly.“After the aftermath of the explosion at the welcome ceremony, I have decided that—“ Reginald said, but David cut him off.“Explosion at the welcome ceremony?! What explosion?” David asked and Reginald paused.“You haven’t heard about the explosion yet?” Reginald asked. “No, I haven’t. There was another explosion but at the welcome ceremony?” David replied.David had been so anxious to find out what Jeremiah knew about the gas processing plant explosion that he was tunnel-visioned from everything else. He had just gone to his room to freshen up, changed clothes, and then went to Reginald’s study for the mee

CHAPTER 136
After looking at everyone in the Study and seeing how they were staring at him— especially Jeremiah’s whose stare was like a predator’s to a prey— David, who realized that he was in a hot mess, thought of how to get away from the situation.How could he spin the story and change the narrative in his favor? He wondered and his brain started working at a million miles an hour in search of the answer.Soon enough, a thought came to his mind and he decided to go with it.David started chuckling, making everyone wonder why he was doing that.What did he find so funny?“Uncle, what gave you the impression that I knew about the explosion before it happened?” David asked.Reginald, who thought about the question, grimaced and adjusted how he sat.“Well, if I remember correctly, you were rambling about how we should leave the area and were adamant about it for a good minute before the building exploded, so I thought that your behavior was because you beforehand that the building was going to e

CHAPTER 135
Once inside the study, the first thing Jeremiah did was pause and groan when he saw David standing in front of the desk. Kingston, who was just as surprised as Jeremiah at the sight of David, jolted and asked “Sir David, you’re already here?”“Yes, he is. Truthfully, even I was surprised when he arrived before you two did, but for some reason, he seemed eager to have the meeting which I guess is a good thing because I have so much to ask him” Reginald said.David, who was trying his best to keep his cool and act normal, turned to Reginald and smiled. “I just wanted to tell Uncle what happened because I know how worried he was about my disappearance and maybe that will calm his mind a little,” David said.Reginald, who didn’t know the young man’s true motive and believed his words, smiled. He took David’s feigned concern for him as a sign of David changing and attributed it to the punishment he gave him working. Speaking of the punishment, what was going to happen now that the guard
