“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
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 132
All the maids, who were already taken aback that Jeremiah had a burnt corpse in his arms, couldn’t believe what they just heard one of their fellow maids say.At the same time, because the one who had spoken was Joyce, Lynette’s roommate, there was a lot of weight to her words, and that made them think that she was right.If there was anyone amongst them who knew for certain that the burnt corpse in front of them was Lynette then it had to be her.It also didn’t help that Lynette had been missing since the explosion at the welcome ceremony so though they didn’t want to believe it to be true, they weren’t being given much of a choice not to.“Joyce, try and calm down a little”“Are you sure what you’re saying is true?”“Yes. I wouldn’t make such a mistake” Joyce replied, sniffling in despair.“But how did you know that’s Lynette?” One of the maids asked. “Yeah, the entire body is charred and unrecognizable so maybe you’re mistaken”The maids, who saw how hurt Joyce had become, tried t

“The members of Dark Emblem did this,” Jeremiah said, assuming that Kingston had caught Elizabeth up on what DarK Emblem did on the estate.From causing the explosion at the welcome ceremony to kidnapping David.None of them had known that Dark Emblem had also kidnapped Lynette except for Jeremiah, but the fact was obvious now. Elizabeth’s eyes fidgeted when she heard that.“What did those despicable people have to do with her of all people?!” Elizabeth asked, angry but also feeling despair.Jeremiah, who was the only one who knew the truth about Lynnette being the “The Bride” they were looking for decided to keep that to himself for now.He felt like he had to tell Reginald and Obadiah first before telling anyone else.“She was at the location I found them and while trying to escape a fire broke out that caused the entire place to blow up. This is the result of that” Jeremiah said as he looked at the bed. “And what happened to the Dark Emblem guys?” Elizabeth asked and Kingston, wh

Jeremiah, Kingston, and Steven went to Reginald’s study while Elizabeth went back into Jeremiah’s room to spend some more time with Lynette’s corpse.Since the body would most definitely be kept in Jeremiah’s room until the funeral tomorrow, this was going to be her only moment of privacy with her former protégé. Though it would be a one-sided conversation, as Lynette could talk back, Elizabeth was going to say everything she had in her chest and hopefully feel at ease with losing someone she cared about so soon.A couple of minutes later, after finally being at peace with Lynette’s passing, Christabel came to the room and she too got her chance to say goodbye to her friend and fellow protégé.After that, Christabel and Elizabeth reminisced on past moments they and Lynette spent together when she was alive and the experience made the remaining two form a stronger bond than what they had before.Just then, the room door was knocked. “Who is it?” Christabel asked after Elizabeth used
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! 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

Reginald had to admit that Jeremiah made a lot of sense with what he had said. Things were very dangerous with Dark Emblem knowing Jeremiah’s whereabouts and were going to attack him at any moment. Reginald was already someone they wanted dead— although he wasn’t a priority like Jeremiah and Obadiah were— so it would basically be the same as putting him on a silver platter if he was anywhere near Jeremiah whenever Dark Emblem decided to attack. They would definitely kill him first if the opportunity presented itself. Or worst-case scenario, they would try to use him as a hostage and make Jeremiah unable to attack as strongly as he would have. Granted, the likelihood Dark Emblem does that is very low because they didn’t have a good impression of Lord Crimson and thought he didn’t care about any human being enough for them to work as a hostage against him. However, the fact that Jeremiah risked his life to save everyone at the welcome ceremony, made things different and that narrat
CHAPTER 303
Jeremiah went ahead to tell Reginald, Kingston, and Lynette what happened— the same as he did with Obadiah, shocking them with each detail he gave, and when he was done, they went silent for an extended period before regaining their composure.[“I didn’t think you would be discovered this quickly after moving back to Bakers View, son”] Reginald said and then groaned—pondering what to say next. [“However, now that the cat is out of the bag and they are coming for you, we have no choice but to look for a way forward. With that said, what’s your plan?”] “My plan, huh? Well, it’s very simple. To fight!” Jeremiah said, resolve echoing from his eyes. Reginald chuckled lightly.[“I wouldn’t have expected anything different. In that case, you will be needing help if you hope to survive this. I’m assuming you’ve decided to have Bakers View as the battleground”]“Yes, I do. This is my hometown, where those Dark Emblem assholes caused my mother to get into an accident that put her in a coma w
CHAPTER 302
Jeremiah returned the relic to where he got it from and without wasting any second, he took out his phone from his pocket and called Kingston. After a few seconds, the call was answered. [“Young Master, Jeremiah”] Kingston greeted. “Good afternoon, Kingston,” Jeremiah replied.[“Good afternoon young master. How is your—?”] Kingston said but Jeremiah cut him off.“Before you ask any questions, I want to know if you’re anywhere close to my father,” Jeremiah asked, the urgency in his voice eliciting intrigue in the butler.[“Unfortunately, I’m not in Master Reginald’s presence but he is in the estate”]“That’s good. Now, I want you to go find my father and put me on speaker phone cause there’s something I want to tell the two of you—“ Jeremiah said but was interrupted. [“Is that Jeremiah?”] Lynette asked excitedly. [“Yes, Lady Lynette. It is”] Kingston replied and Jeremiah groaned.[“Great! I’ve been dying to talk to him so give me the phone!”] Lynette instructed, her hand already
CHAPTER 301
Jeremiah walked around the store in a soured mood, arrived at the front, and got on his motorcycle. He drove back home, all the while thinking about Grey Lucian, who was someplace he couldn’t find, and the fact that he couldn’t tell if Grey was watching him as he went back to the estate pissed him off. Anyone else would have been in a constant state of fear and worry but not Jeremiah. He believed in his capabilities as a dragon and mage and that he was able to have a calm mind. Plus, he knew that it would take some time for the members of Dark Emblem to be ready enough to attack him so in that meantime he was safe. The future, however, was a different story. For the moment, Jeremiah’s concern was on the issue of the tracking spell Grey had put on him. From the looks of it, Grey might have either been telling the truth or lying through his teeth because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t sense the magic of the spell on him. Even if he could sense the mana, it would only mean
CHAPTER 300
Jeremiah’s face twitched after hearing Andrews call him his other name. “So you know about my real identity too. That’s interesting” Jeremiah scoffed then did a scan of the other people standing and watching him and Andrews. “That’s a neat trick. Unfortunately, your illusions don’t work on me— not anymore anyway— so it would be better if you just deactivate it and stop wasting mana” Jeremiah said. Andrews looked at the other people on the premises, who smiled at him and Jeremiah, groaned and said “I wonder what changed to make my magic no longer work on you. Is it perhaps that box you won from the auction because it would make sense why you were so interested in it.” Andrews chuckled, returned his gaze to Jeremiah, and continued, “It’s a shame I didn’t see how valuable it was to bid for it. But even if I had, you would have outbid me, wouldn’t you?” Andrews deactivated his illusion magic and everyone on the premises, beside him and Jeremiah, disappeared. “…” Jeremiah refraine
CHAPTER 299
Reliving his memories of the auction, Jeremiah started to notice some strange inconsistencies with them like a veil was being lifted off his mind. To be specific, his memories of Andrews and Martha took on a different and clearer light and he realized the truth which was that there was nobody like Martha in the entire auction. However, that didn’t make sense because not only him but the auctioneer and everyone else in the auction house interacted with her so what was going on?Jeremiah was confused and the more his memories of the auction cleared, the more he understood until finally he realized what happened— Martha was never real and was created by an illusion spell to trick not just him but everyone else in the auction. Just as he figured that out and the false memories were cleared off his mind, leaving only the real one, Jeremiah realized that he had figured out the truth before but back when he did, something— the veil as he termed it— covered his mind and made him forget unt
CHAPTER 298
All the salespeople who saw Jeremiah walk past them greeted him because they remembered seeing him go to the auction area with the manager earlier. Then not king after, Jeremiah made it out of the store. He walked over to his motorcycle and got on. However, instead of driving away, he first called Daniel to let him know that he had gotten the ring.He took out his phone from his pocket, woke the screen, and to his surprise he had two missed calls from Daniel that came during the auction.“That’s right, I put my phone on silent mode when I entered the auction house so as not to cause any distractions,” Jeremiah said to himself.The manager had been the one who asked him if his phone was on silent mode and told him to put it on when they entered the auction area. It was a rule of the auction house that all phones were either switched off or on silent mode so they didn’t make noise.Jeremiah quickly deactivated his phone’s silent mode and called Daniel.After ringing for a few seconds,
CHAPTER 297
“Thank you all for coming. We promise to get even better items and invite you guys for an even better experience in the near future. As for those who won the auctioned items, your items will be ready for you when you leave so be sure to get them on your way out.” The auctioneer took a deep breath and sighed— happy with the turnout of the day’s auction as it was the most successful one he had ever hosted.“I have been Evans Nelson, your auctioneer for today and I’ll be seeing you guys really soon,” The auctioneer said, bowed in respect, and walked away while the bidders clapped for him.Since they had accomplished their purpose for being there, everyone started getting up from their seats but instead of leaving like they normally would, they hung around. They talked to each other, discussing the experience they had with that particular auction, while their eyes were discretely on Jeremiah, waiting for the perfect moment to talk to him. They had been planning their approach ever since
CHAPTER 296
“Two hundred million dollars!” Andrew’s words echoed through the entire auction house. “Wow,” the auctioneer said, a strong look of amazement adorned on his face “To think that I wouldn’t even get the chance to call the starting price before it got pushed to such an insane amount. Looks like I can always count on you, Master Andrews, to make this auction very interesting.” Though everyone was annoyed by Andrews's offer, the auctioneer was elated. Since the price had been made to start at two hundred million dollars and he was to get five percent of that, his ten million dollars was already set.Ten million dollars, however, wasn’t enough for the auctioneer. He was greedy— wanting more money—and for that, he had to see if the other bidders were willing to up the price. Martha had said earlier that none of the other bidders should bother bidding when Andrews had taken interest in any of the items being auctioned because he was always going to outbid them and that pissed the auctionee
