The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 124
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

“Ram it through and go in!” Richard instructed, and Jason jolted. He didn’t expect Richard to suggest destruction of property as a way of entering the plant, but he understood that there was no other choice, seeing as how the guards were refusing to open the gate for them. Either that or something had happened, and they couldn’t open the gate for them, but at that moment it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that they had to get into the plant one way or another.“What are you waiting for?! Let’s do this!” Richard said sternly as he walked to the passenger side of the truck.“Got it!” Jason replied hurriedly, then he put on his helmet, ran to the driver's side of the truck, and then got in. Once Richard and Jason had secured themselves in their seats, Richard said “Floor it!” Without wasting a second, Jason ignited the engine and hit the gas, causing the truck to jolt forward and both firefighters inside to jerk backward.The fire truck rammed into the gate, forced it open, and

Jeremiah continued to walk closer, each step allowing the audience, who watched him, to get a better look at what he was carrying in his arms, and it got to a point where their expressions all turned grim. They saw smoke—albeit little— coming out of the body of the person in Jeremiah’s arms and before their minds could process it, they realized why they hadn’t been able to identify the person until then.It was because the person’s entire body was charred black, and before they could wrap their heads around that, they saw the person’s right-hand drop and start swinging lifelessly.With that, they no longer needed Jeremiah to get closer to know that he was carrying a burnt corpse, but the question they asked themselves now became; who was that person?Who did Jeremiah fail to save and was now carrying the burnt corpse of?Jeremiah finally made it to where all the firefighters, except Richard, were standing and as he walked through their middle, they all looked at the corpse in his arm

“What’s the matter, Corner?” Richard asked.“I was checking the area to gauge the scope of the explosion and I got to one side with a lot of debris, but after checking it out properly, I found something else. The debris had actually almost made me miss it” Corner said, panicked. Richard grimaced.“Almost made you miss what?” He asked.“Dead bodies. There were dead bodies scattered all over there, and they appear to have been the security guards who work here,” Corner said, and Richard, as well as the other firefighters who were listening, widened their eyes in shock. “What?!” Richard exclaimed. “Exactly what I said. All the guards who work here, or at least I think that’s all of them, are dead, and their bodies are all over the ground there” Corner said.“Dead?! Is that why they didn’t answer our horns and open the gate for us when we arrived? To be honest, I also found it kind of strange that the entire place was quiet, with not a single sighting of security, when we drove in” Jas

[“What was that?”] Steven asked, puzzled by the loud sound he had just heard through the communicator, unaware that it was David expressing his shock at Jeremiah’s survival.“It was Sir David. He was the one who wanted to know if we were able to find Young Master Jeremiah or not” the guard replied then he looked at David.“Sir, would you like to speak with the captain and ask further questions?”David, who didn’t want to raise suspicions that he was the one responsible for the explosion, cleared his throat and comported himself.“No, I don’t,” David said then he rested his back on the chair, looked out the window at everything they were driving past, and crossed his arms, doing his best to hide his dissatisfaction.Steven, puzzled by David’s curiosity about whether they had found Jeremiah inside the plant yet strangely uninterested after learning that Jeremiah was alive, groaned into the communicator.It was kind of suspicious that all he wanted to know was if Jeremiah was alive or no

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
