The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 155
“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

“You knew what I was about to do to your grandfather, so you came in under the guise of a lovable cousin to save him, doing everything you could to get me out of there. Am I wrong or right?” Jeremiah asked, and Jessica’s eyes widened.“After observing you for some time I could tell what you were really doing,” Jeremiah said.After a couple of seconds of silence, Jessica’s expression changed to one of awe.“No wonder uncle decided it was better for you to be the future king instead of my dumb older brother. But, if you knew what I was doing then why did you agree to go ahead with it and leave with me?” She said Jeremiah smirked.“You’re not the only one who thinks they’d like the other. I also had a feeling that we would get along so I wanted to let you have your way and after all that acting, I thought you deserved it” Jeremiah said and Jessica’s eyes blinked multiple times.“Besides, I didn’t really want to do anything to someone that old so in a way I too am grateful you did what y

“Young master Jeremiah?” Joyce, who stood next to Elizabeth, and the other maids said as they saw Jeremiah. They all continued climbing the stairs but at a faster pace until they got to Jeremiah, Jessica, and their two maids. “We’ve been looking for you, young master,” Elizabeth said then she looked at Christabel and said “Good job finding the young master”“Thank you, Headmaid” Christabel replied.“I’m glad we found you just in time because I was starting to think that wouldn’t be able to attend the funeral,” Elizabeth said to Jeremiah. “I had something to do this morning but I finished early and always planned on attending the funeral. Anyway, I’m here now so we can—“ Jeremiah said but then focused on the guard and grimaced.“Why are you here?” He asked. Elizabeth glanced at the guard, who, like Jessica, stood out as the odd one, then returned her gaze to Jeremiah and said, “Since we were worried you might be too busy to carry the body, I decided to bring him along to help us.”

“L-Lynette? Wait a minute, am I dreaming?” Joyce asked herself as she cleaned her eyes, wondering what hallucination was in front of her. She also wondered if she had eaten something bad that was causing her to see things she shouldn’t be seeing.There were so many questions but the fact that so many people were experiencing the same thing made them think that it might be real but how? That can’t be Lynette, could it?“Young master, what happened? The last thing I remember was going to get you a drink and now here I am, waking up on your bed and being naked with ashes all over me” Lynette said then adjusted the bedsheet around her chest so it didn’t fall.Just then, everyone’s reaction started making her feel self-conscious.“Why is everyone looking at me like that?” She asked, worried why they all seemed like they had seen a ghost.It was even more alarming with Jeremiah because he had always been calm so seeing him confused and scared unsettled her. “This has to be a dream, right?
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 162
Shocked by what she was watching, Elizabeth suddenly jolted back to her senses and looked at the guard standing next to her.“Quick! Go find the king and tell him about this!” She instructed, snapping the guard to his senses too.Because of how focused he was on Jeremiah and Lynette, the guard took a second to go over what Elizabeth told him as it resounded in his ears.“I said go tell the King what you saw here! Hurry!” The Headmaid exclaimed, causing the guard to jolt.“Alright, Headmaid Elizabeth!” The guard replied then he rushed out of there. Everyone watched Jeremiah talking to Lynette, who still seemed confused about what was going on but somehow still seemed like her usual self, then they saw him guiding her to the bed to sit down. They saw Lynette get apprehensive about sitting down on the bed because she thought she didn’t deserve to and their fear towards her dwindled a little.Nothing weird had happened so far so they thought that it was best to just observe and keep an

Meanwhile, back at the Mercury Jewels Jewelry Shop— at the back where Jeremiah and Grey had their confrontation—two of the staff were there, crouching by the wall and smoking a cigar.It was their break and this was what they usually did.“Damn, today was a really good day. So many customers coming in to buy expensive shit and the day isn’t even over yet. At the rate we’re going, I have a feeling we’ll be getting a pay raise soon” said one of the staff.“It probably has something to do with the auction that took place not too long ago. Business usually booms during it but I hope you’re right ‘cause I really need the extra money. My kid is about to go to college and I want to put him in a really good one that will help him have a bright future” said the second staff. “Speaking of your kid, how is he? He doesn’t visit you as much as he used to in the past” the first staff said.“Yeah. He’s at that age where he doesn’t want to hang out with his old dad anymore but he’s a good kid” “Tha
CHAPTER 305
“Alright, Lynette, what’s the catch to this so-called ability of yours?” Jeremiah asked, his tone hitting his fatigue. [“Since it's an automatic death sentence for the person I'm linked to the moment I die, it means their life ends when my current lifecycle ends—and a new one begins with me being reborn as a newborn.”] Lynette replied and Jeremiah groaned. “So you’re saying that if you manage to go through this battle without getting temporarily killed, Dad will remain alive no matter what for the next thirty-nine years which is when your current cycle ends,” Jeremiah said, his tone extremely skeptical.[“That’s right. I’ve linked with only one person in all my lives and thanks to them I know exactly what this ability is capable of and what its limits are. I and the person in question cannot be unlinked once linked. That’s the price they pay for accepting the link and gaining short-term immortality”]This meant that Lynette couldn’t just link with any random person. They had to know
CHAPTER 304
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,
