The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 158
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
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 163
“So you really don’t remember anything after getting drinks for me besides waking up in my bed?” Jeremiah asked and Lynette nodded.“Well, I think I remember being in a strange building with someone in a suit but I’m not sure. I could have just imagined it” Lynette replied and Jeremiah pondered for a moment. Lynette was most likely talking about the gas processing plant building and if that was the case then the person with her had to have been Adam. Extracting further, she must have regained her consciousness for a split second to see her environment before something happened to cause her to black out again. Thinking logically and lining up events to match what she said, Jeremiah came to a conclusion. Killing Dean must have lifted the mind-control spell he put on Lynette which allowed her to see her environment for a split second before the building exploded, killing her and Adam or at least killing Adam as she was back to life. Strange. At least now Jeremiah knows that a way t

A couple of seconds later, everyone started hearing the sound of running water from the shower.Immediately, all the ladies standing outside looked at Jeremiah.“Young Master. Can we talk” Elizabeth said and Jeremiah looked at all of them by the door. He walked over to the door, crossed his arms, and said “What do you want to tell me?”“I’ve called for your father so if he’s not here in the next couple of minutes, he should send a message on what to do about… well, you know,” Elizabeth said and Jeremiah groaned. What Elizabeth did was the right move because as the only other person there who knew that Lynette’s resurrection was most likely the result of magic, having Reginald seek help from Obadiah was the only way to get to the bottom of what happened. Who decided that it was a good idea to use magic to bring Lynette back to life? How did they do it and most importantly, why? Was all things the shaman could help them find out.“Okay, but I doubt my father would come here himself s

“You remember how the last thing you remember from the welcome ceremony was getting me a drink and then you blacked out?” Jeremiah asked and she nodded. “Well, you came in contact with some bad people who kidnapped you,” Jeremiah said and all the maids, minus Elizabeth, widened their eyes. Elizabeth was the only maid in the entire estate who knew the truth of what happened at the welcome ceremony and finding out the truth shocked the others. “Kidnapped? Me?” Lynette mumbled. “Yes, but that’s not important right now,” Jeremiah said.What did he mean her being kidnapped wasn’t important? What else could be more important than that?If Jeremiah hadn't been the one telling her that then she would have interrupted the person and asked them to give more details about her kidnapping, but she couldn’t. She just had to sit there and listen to the rest of what he was going to say. “You were taken elsewhere and I was able to track you down and take care of your kidnappers…” Jeremiah said an

Like the rhythm of beating drums, the hearts of the maids pounded in their chests as they stared dazedly at Lynette.If they hadn’t been aware of the truth prior to her appearance they would have thought that they were looking at a ghost— or no, an angel— with how she looked currently. As maids who had spent years working in the king’s castle—a place that demanded the finest attention to detail with every glance—they were able to notice it within seconds.Lynette was different from what they remembered. They couldn’t quite put their finger on it but their instinct told them that something about her was different— the same thing Jeremiah said to himself when he saw Lynette enter the throne room during his meeting with Reginald, Obadiah, and Kingston. Though it was a subtle change, her relaxed expression wasn’t the same as the one they had seen for years. It didn’t just appear more mature for someone her age, who had little life experience beyond being a maid—it also radiated confide
CHAPTER 178
Just two days ago, the phrase “I live to serve you, My Lord” was something Jeremiah never imagined he would hear directed at him. However, hearing it from Reginald had transformed it into the most enticing sentence anyone had ever spoken to him.This just goes to show how quickly things can change in a matter of hours. From being a nobody orphan whose wife cheated on him and asked for a divorce, to becoming the heir of the most powerful family in the world who also had a very beautiful woman/mythical being waiting for him to remember their past together so they could get married.His life truly was a dream come true and if he was told two days ago that this was what his near future would be, he never would have believed it.“Thank you” Jeremiah replied and Reginald, whose head was bowed, smirked. Seeing Reginald, their king and the highest authority they’ve known for many years, bow to Jeremiah felt strange to the maids but it was also nice to watch because it meant that everything w
CHAPTER 177
With each passing second, the turmoil and fear in the hearts of all the maids standing there increased to new heights. Jeremiah, having never been in this type of situation before, was clueless about what to do.As someone who had spent his entire teenage and adult years being looked down upon by all the people around him, Jeremiah had gotten used to not being and also not being seen as a threat or an object of fear and intimidation to others.Things changing to what it was now felt jarring and Jeremiah was left not knowing what to do to quell the situation. “Umm…” Jeremiah said but stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked to the side and saw that it was Reginald holding him. “Dad?” Jeremiah mouthed.“Don’t worry, My Lord. You’re still new to this and until your past memories come back, you’ll have some challenges ruling over people. Fortunately, you have me to help” Reginald smirked. Jeremiah looked at the crowd of maids then he looked at Reginald and calmed down.
CHAPTER 176
Seeing Jeremiah transform before their eyes was like watching a scene from a movie, but with the most spectacular special effects imaginable.The color and texture of his arms changed, becoming scaly in appearance and possessing a toughness almost equal to steel. They also grew longer, with the muscle fibers becoming more prominent, while the fingernails lengthened and turned completely black.Speaking of his fingernails— which could be called claws at that point— they looked sharp and hard enough to effortlessly slice through flesh and even cut through bone like marshmallows.Jeremiah's facial structure also went through some changes, becoming less human-like— sharper and wider to be exact. His teeth grew longer and sharper, his ears elongated like elves’, and his eyes…His eyes completely changed in color and shape, taking on the appearance of a reptile’s, with a dangerous black-and-gold tint that sent chills down the spines of everyone who met his gaze.If this were a video game, b
CHAPTER 175
The maids all looked in the direction Reginald was gesturing at, their eyes as sharp as eagles as they tried to see who Lord Crimson was. They had never been more interested in anything than they had been in this particular topic since it was brought to them. After all, who wouldn’t be interested in finding out the validity of something that had been a major part of their life growing up? After looking for a moment, all the maids could see were Jeremiah and Kingston—no one else. Confused, they glanced away from the two, wondering if Reginald had gestured in the wrong direction.There was clearly nothing in the opposition direction too so they didn’t even bother looking there. Instead, they looked among themselves and pondered if Lord Crimson hadn’t come to the room yet. Still, that didn’t make sense because the look on Reginald’s face was that of someone who was certain that Lord Crimson was where he was pointing. However, their eyes told them otherwise—so what on earth was going o
CHAPTER 174
The maids glanced at the guards, who, as they realized while panicking about their throbbing tongues, had remained straight-faced throughout the entire ordeal. They then groaned, grateful for the clarification Reginald had just provided.“Only a select few didn’t experience what you all did but do not be offended by that,” Reginald said, drawing the maids’s attention back to himself.The few who didn’t feel the discomfort on their tongues because the secret spell wasn’t cast on them were Bruce, David, Kingston, Reginald, Obadiah who casted the spell, and of course Jeremiah. The maids could figure out the identity of the people Reginald was talking about and weren’t offended by it. Rather, it made them more curious about what Reginald was going to tell them that was going to shake their worldview.“The sensation you all felt was the result of a spell called The Secrecy Spell. Its purpose is to make sure that none of you can relay what you’re about to find out in this gathering to some
CHAPTER 173
All the maids started reacting to the sensation they were having on their tongues, wondering what was going on.Was it in all their heads or was something actually physically happening to them? Some reacted calmly and level-headedly to the strange sensations their tongues were experiencing, while others panicked. However, they were all concerned and worried about their tongues suddenly acting up.“My tongue. What’s happening to my tongue?!” Said one of the maid who moved her tongue around her mouth, trying to understand the strange sensation she couldn’t explain.It was like the tongue was throbbing, getting hot, itchy and numb, all at the same time, which didn’t make sense and was something that had never happened before. “You’re feeling that too? I thought I was the only one. What’s going on?” Said another who brought out her tongue and touched it, not feeling the throbbing or hot sensation on her finger which made her think that she was imagining it but that didn’t make sense be
CHAPTER 172
Jeremiah used to think that the platinum debit card he got from Anthony, the manager of Polaris Bank, was the highest form of debit card anyone could get and use for his/her transactions. However, here he was finding out there was an even greater level than that. The Black Debit card.This was a card that only one bank in the entire world provided its customers. In fact, the bank only provided the Black Debit card to its customers and only on the condition that they meet certain financial criteria that 99.999% of the world’s population would never reach.A customer has to have at least ten billion dollars in cash before they can open an account with them and once opened, the Black Debit card is provided.The name of the bank was Sentry Bank, and there were fewer than seventy people in the entire world who had an account with them—Jeremiah being one of them.“I had always planned to have you abandon your current bank account and opt for the new one Kingston was going to create for you
CHAPTER 171
After watching Lynette and Elizabeth leave the throne room and the door get closed, the four men who were once having a meeting before being interrupted, returned to that. “I never would have guessed that what just happened would happen when we started this meeting a couple of minutes ago, but I’m extremely happy that it did” Reginald said and Jeremiah groaned.“His Majesty is right, My Lord," Obadiah said, making Jeremiah look at him. "With Miss Lynette's knowledge of the past and her claim of having taught you not just a simple magic spell but the most complex and powerful one in the world, she will be of greater help to your growth in magic than I ever could."Jeremiah thought about what the shaman said and grimaced.“You’s right, she might— no, she will be of greater help to my magic training than you can.” Jeremiah said, making Obadiah to smile prematurely. “But, she also said that it will take a while for her powers to come back after she’d resurrected for the first time in a l
