The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 151
With his eyes closed, Jeremiah heard Obadiah recite the spell to test his magic but felt nothing for a whole minute which made him wonder if it was even going to work.The shaman did say that he had only used the spell on humans so could it be that it was ineffective when used on him, the reincarnation of Lord Crimson? Jeremiah was starting to second guess the whole thing when, to his surprise, he started feeling something in his core which was strange because until that moment he didn’t even know he had a core. But, because of what Obadiah was doing, it became too noticeable to ignore. It was a warm feeling that made his fingers tingle and skin sensitive to every stimulus, which said a lot because his senses were already heightened to an insane level before they started the spell.Next thing Jeremiah knew, he stopped hearing what Obadiah was saying as it went from coherent recitation to mumbling to a muffled mess and lastly to silence. Everything happened in the span of a second a

“Flames of consumption? What’s that?” Jeremiah asked. “Truthfully, I don’t know that much about it as the only information I have is what I was able to eavesdrop from Dark Emblem’s communication channel before they made doing that near impossible to achieve,” Obadiah said and Jeremiah groaned.“Then according to the little you do know, what is it?” Jeremiah asked. “Well, it is what the name implies. Instead of flames that burn whatever they engulf, the flames of consumption absorb the energy of whatever they touch. The way oxygen is what determines the intensity and duration of a fire, the energy of whatever is being consumed is what fuels the flames of consumption and since the energy of a plant is what makes look healthy, it becoming dried and withering is the result of losing it” Obadiah said.Jeremiah grimaced and groaned in frustration as yet another question arose after hearing the explanation.“But how did this happen? I thought you were just testing my magic to figure out ho
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 153
This was the first time since their encounter the afternoon of the previous day that they were meeting Jeremiah again and after how bad last time went, they could only be fearful of what would happen. Also, finding out that Jeremiah was the one who caught Desmond and beat him so bad he had to be hospitalized, the rest of David’s friends couldn’t help but be terrified that he was a violent maniac who could lash out at them at any moment. “Y-young master” Benson stuttered as he and all of David’s friends bowed their heads to Jeremiah. “Looks like you’re all leaving. What about David?” Jeremiah said and they all nodded, unable to maintain eye contact. “D-David would be staying back because his sister and grandfather came to visit, Y-young Master” Benson answered. Jeremiah groaned, already tired of how they were behaving towards him. The only ones who acted normal were Kristin and Brenda who couldn’t stop smiling as they looked at Jeremiah. “Good morning, young master” Brenda

As Jeremiah headed to his room and was just about to climb the stairs, he saw David and his grandfather standing at the top of the stairs with their backs turned to him. He grimaced, wondering why they were standing there motionless. Then he realized the reason—they weren’t alone. Someone else was with them, hidden behind the two men’s imposing figures. From where he stood, Jeremiah could only see the third person’s legs and part of their clothing, making it difficult to identify them at first. However, with those small details, he was able to figure out who it was. “What did you just say to me?” David asked, a tinge of disgust in his tone. It wouldn’t take a genius to know that he felt disrespected by whatever she just said to him, but the question you now is; what exactly did she say? Christabel gulped, her eyes blinking multiple times to emphasize her nerves. “I-I said that I apologize but I won’t be able to carry out the task you gave as I obey a new master now,” Chris

“Who the hell are you?” David’s grandfather asked aggressively. Jeremiah looked at the elderly man from head to toe and scoffed. If there was one thing he despised more than anything, it was people using their authority and power to bully those they perceived as weaker. His second greatest dislike was elderly people failing to act their age.In Jeremiah’s mind, the elderly should be kind and patient with the younger generation, teaching them wisdom instead of throwing insults and abusing them but here was David’s grandfather who was doing the exact opposite.What made it even worse was that, as a relative of the king, David’s grandfather’s behavior tarnished Reginald’s reputation. And as Reginald’s son, Jeremiah wasn’t about to let that happen—especially not to his new personal maid.“Grandfather, I think you should—” David said, trying to get his grandfather to calm down, but the elderly man was too focused on Jeremiah to care for anything he had to say. “How dare you look me in t

Bruce was so loud that even Brenda and Kristin, who were outside waiting for their driver to take them back to school, came into the castle to find out what was going on. “Young master Jeremiah?” Kristin said softly, wondering what Jeremiah was doing with David and an elderly man at the top of the stairs.Just like everyone else who was watching, the two girls wondered why it looked like the elderly man and Jeremiah were in a fight with the way their hands were.Kristin tried to get closer, wanting to make sure Jeremiah was okay but Brenda quickly held her back.“Where do you think you’re going?” Brenda asked, staring confusedly at her best friend. “I was just…” Kristin said but Brenda cut her off.“Can’t you see David up there too? Something tells me that the old guy is related to him and young master Jeremiah which means he’s related to the king so are you sure you still want to take yourself up there?” Brenda asked.Kristin looked at the scene again and realized that Brenda was r

After realizing the truth, Bruce started contemplating how to get out of the mess he had put himself into.If only he had listened to David, who had tried multiple times to warn him, none of this would have happened. His stubbornness and ego had unsurprisingly turned out to be a great detriment. “S-so what my grandson said about you is true and you are…” Bruce said and Jeremiah’s cold gaze sent chills down his spine which was all the answer he needed. “What have I done?” Bruce mumbled and started trembling. All the years Bruce had spent trying to stay on Reginald’s good side could come crashing down because of what he had done, and if that happened, he would have no one to blame but himself.Seeing how much trouble his grandfather was in, David, who didn’t want to anger Jeremiah more still felt the need to help but how can he go about doing that?This was truly a tough situation. “Cousin, can you just let this go just this once? Grandpa made a mistake and—“ David said but quickly

Jeremiah looked at Jessica who had managed to steal everyone’s attention with her energetic arrival and sudden showcase of affection. She pulled away a bit to look at Jeremiah’s face. “You’re confused about who I am, aren’t you? Don’t worry, cousin, I’ll introduce myself quickly” Jessica said then let go of Jeremiah and stepped back.“My name is Jessica Garrick but those close to me call me Jess. I’m your lovely and beautiful younger cousin who’s seventeen years old but will be turning eighteen in a few weeks. I hope we can be close and be like siblings instead of cousins” Jessica said.“Jessica, what are you doing here?” David asked and Jessica looked at him. She saw how angry he was at her presence then she rolled her eyes and returned her focus to Jeremiah.“Don’t mind my busybody older brother. He’s the only person I wish didn’t call me Jess but you can if you want. Anyway, what’s going on here?” Jessica said then she looked at Bruce who was still worried about what Jeremiah wa

Jeremiah got out of bed and went to do whatever he needed to do for the day while waiting for the call from Kingston and also Obadiah, who he hadn’t heard from since the day before. In time, Jeremiah's phone rang and as expected, it was Kingston calling him. He answered, told Kingston that he’d be on his way and he left the house.Again, he booked an Uber because he knew that using his motorcycle would be an issue. He had planned to follow the convoy that would be waiting for his father at the airport back to the house, so if he rode there on his motorcycle, he’d have to leave it behind — and he didn’t want that. Alternatively, he could have one of the guards ride it back to the house, but Jeremiah didn’t want anyone else driving his motorcycle either.The Uber took Jeremiah to the airport and he came down. Then he found his way to the hanger where he waited for a few minutes and watched the jet land. Standing in front of the convoy that had been waiting for Reginald’s arrival, Je
CHAPTER 322
Coming to a stop in front of his gate, Jeremiah stepped out of the Uber and paid the fare with cash, giving a little tip because of how smooth and fast the drive was. Then, he waited for the driver to leave before he went into the compound and eventually into the house. “Welcome back, Master Jeremiah” The house artificial intelligence, Charlie, greeted the moment he walked in through the door. “Thank you, Charlie.” Jeremiah closed the door and it locked automatically.“How was your outing?” Charlie asked. “It seemed to have been good seeing as how happy you look”There were cameras all over the house that acted as Charlie’s eyes, so she was able to see how he looked and used her advanced algorithms to read the micro-expressions on his face to come to the conclusion of what emotions his naturally calm face was displaying.This part of her system was what helped her serve her owner better because she could basically read their emotions and know how to make their lives better.“Yes, it
CHAPTER 321
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

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

“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
