The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 164
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

“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
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 169
Jeremiah watched Lynette and Elizabeth walk to the front of the throne room where he and Obadiah were, all the while staring at Lynette and trying to wrap his head around why she seemed different yet so familiar.“What’s the meaning of this, Elizabeth?” Kingston asked then he looked at Lynette and grimaced. He too had noticed that something was off about her. For starters, she didn’t seem as shy or timid as how every maid on the estate act when they are in his or, most especially, Reginald’s presence. Kingston groaned then focused his attention of Elizabeth once more.“Who gave you the permission to interrupt a meeting between Master Reginald and young master Jeremiah and bring one of you protégés?” Kingston asked. Elizabeth quickly bowed her head to Reginald— her body trembling.“My apologies, your majesty! It was never my intention to interrupt your meeting like this—“ she said but Kingston cut her off.“Good intentions or not, it doesn’t change the fact that you did what you did
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 170
Hearing what Lynette had just said, Reginald, Kingston, and Obadiah—who remained silent—were all relieved yet shocked that their hypothesis was correct. Granted, Jeremiah had been the one to come up with the hypothesis, but they had all believed in it.Now, this revelation brought about even more questions they struggled to articulate, especially since Lynette was no longer the maid they once held authority over.As a being very similar to what Jeremiah was, Lynette—who had existed for centuries—didn’t have to answer to anyone if she chose not to, and her behavior so far, speaking to the king and Kingston like regular people, made that abundantly clear.“Even I was confused when she woke from her rest and claimed she used to be close friends with Lord Crimson before his reincarnation. At first, I wondered how that could be possible, given that Lord Crimson’s reincarnation took place centuries ago. But the honesty and conviction in her words made me curious to know if she was telling t
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! 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

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
