The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 161
“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

“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

A couple of minutes later. Inside the throne room was Reginald, who sat on the throne like the king he was, Kingston, who stood by his right-hand side, and Obadiah, who stood at the base of the stairs leading to the podium that the throne was on. Unlike Reginald and Kingston who were both okay and had no problem being there, the shaman seemed quite tired and was doing his best to stand. Standing by the walls were the guards, as usual, and in the throne room everyone was quiet, looking like they were waiting for someone. Like the devil, that said someone made their appearance. The guards stationed at the doors opened them, revealing Jeremiah whose presence instantly shifted the atmosphere, commanding attention and altering the room's very tone. Jeremiah strode into the room as the doors closed firmly behind him. Without hesitation, he advanced to the front, where Reginald, Kingston, and Obadiah awaited him in silence. “Good morning, My Lord” Reginald greeted. “Good morning, F
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 167
Everyone in the room looked at Obadiah.“A phoenix?” Reginald asked then he looked at Jeremiah “My Lord, do you believe in this too?”The sentence is grammatically correct but could be polished for clarity and flow. Here's an improved version: "Considering what I am, it's not far-fetched to think there might be other creatures who came to this world, either from the same place as me or from somewhere else. But yes, I believe my teacher is right," Jeremiah said. Reginald rested his back on the throne with a sigh.“But if she is the being who was contained in the egg you saw in the memory from your past then how exactly is she here now?” Reginald asked, confusion written all over his body. “As you know, My Lord, you first came out of your egg as a dragon and you’re only in your human form because of the reincarnation, but what about her?” Reginald raised a great question: Was it that unlike a dragon, a Phoenix comes out of its egg as a human and Lynette was just coming out of her e
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 168
“I have a question,” Jeremiah said and everyone focused on him, trusting that whatever he asked would be thoughtful and important.“What about her memories?” Jeremiah asked and Obadiah grimaced.“Memories? I apologize, My Lord, but I don’t fully understand the question,” Obadiah said. Jeremiah sighed and came up with a better way to convey his question, making sure that it was clear and easy to understand. He said, “If Lynette really is like me and had come out of the egg I saw in my past memories, she must have recognized me from the past and known that I’m Lord Crimson when she saw me. However, all through the moments I had spent with her on the estate, I didn’t get the impression that she knew who I really am as the reincarnation of Lord Crimson and was pretending not to” Kingston groaned, drawing attention.“I had known her for years, even she became one of Elizabeth’s protégés, but not once did it seem like she was hiding any secret as big as this,” Kingston said, making every

Grey drove all the way to a very expensive hotel somewhere in the city. He parked in front of the entrance and the valet stationed there rushed to the car to greet him. However, instead of waiting outside for him to come out, the valet grabbed the driver-door and opened it for him.“Welcome back, Master Grey” the valet greeted, bowing his head with a massive smile on his face. Grey acted like nothing was said to him— his face unbothered and emotionless as turned his body, indicating that he wanted to step out. “My apologies, Master Grey” The valet moved out of the way, giving Grey the space to step out of the car— which he did. “I hope you had a wonderful outing, Master Grey,” the valet said but was ignored as Grey walked past him. But, from how the valet looked, it didn’t seem like Grey’s behavior affected or deterred him from wanting to please the powerful Dark Emblem mage more.The valet faced the interior of the car and had wanted to enter but saw the portrait and box in whic
CHAPTER 306
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
