The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 186
As expected, it wasn’t an optical illusion that made the wall behind the door look like a room. It was, in fact, a real room that had appeared out of nowhere, and the ability to walk into it was proof of that.The others followed behind Jeremiah and they all entered the room. “It’s a very beautiful room, My Lady,” Elizabeth said, in awe of the room. Who would have thought that ancient designers were a lot better than those of the modern era who designed the interior of the other rooms in the castle? Elizabeth thought.“Thank you. The entire room is made of magic so I can change it however I want with just a thought” Lynette said then pointed her hand at one side of the room.“Just like that,” she said, and immediately that part of the room changed how it looked. Jeremiah furrowed his eyebrows.“How did you do that?” he asked. She looked at him and said “I just said how. Magic” He groaned.“Yes, I heard what you said, but I thought it’d take some time for your magic to return afte

A couple of minutes later, everyone had left Jeremiah’s room to go about their various businesses. Reginald resumed his kingly duties, with Kingston following him, while Lynette went on her stroll as she had said she would, and Elizabeth accompanied her.Jeremiah was the only one left in his new, amazing bedroom, which he couldn’t get enough of, as being able to manipulate it however he wanted was incredibly fun.He was on his massive bed when all of a sudden, his phone beside him began to ring.“Hmm,” Jeremiah groaned and looked at the phone, wondering who could be calling him.He reached for the phone, brought it to his face, and checked who the caller was. It was an unknown number.Jeremiah grimaced but then his face relaxed. “It must be her” he took a deep breath and sighed. He sat up, answered the call, and put it to his ear. “Hello,” Jeremiah answered. [“Good afternoon, your— I mean, Jeremiah. It’s me, Britney. You know, the girl from last night. The one who you—”] “I know

Jeremiah dropped his hand and phone on the bed and made a heavy sigh.“Three hours, huh?” Jeremiah said, realizing that it was a very long time to wait before the date but what’s done is done.He wondered what he should do within that time and an idea came to mind— to use that time to try and regain memories from his past self.Jeremiah closed his eyes, took a deep breath, calmed his nerves, and then sighed. Thanks to what Obadiah did in the greenhouse while testing his magic, his once-locked connection to his past had now been partially opened. So, if he focused hard enough, he could possibly recover some of his past memories like back then.All Jeremiah had to do was remember the feeling he had in the greenhouse when his memories were revealed to him and maybe something would come up. He didn’t know if it would work or not— mostly leaning on not— but he also had nothing else to do so why not give it a shot?“Alright, here we go,” Jeremiah said, concentrating as he tried to recall

A second passed, then another and another and very soon Jeremiah grimaced.“Nothing’s happening,” he said, a slight frown on his face as the tray of delicious food he had been imagining for close to a minute never came to be.“Did I not do it right?” He asked himself and after a few seconds of contemplating, he groaned. “Let me give it one more try but this time give all my focus and effort,” he told himself then closed his eyes and tried to concentrate.The last time he had done it, his eyes were fully opened so maybe that was why it didn’t work— he wasn’t focused enough. That’s what he thought anyway. Jeremiah put his complete focus and effort into trying to conjure up a tray of food like he had tried to remember his past memories a couple of minutes ago. Unlike last time when he tried to magically create a delicious-looking and tasting dish, this time he went for something simple— a plate of plain white rice.He theorized that the reason it hadn’t worked the last time he tried w

“What’s the matter?” Jeremiah asked and Christabel, who wasn’t expecting that, jolted. “My Lord?” She asked.He pointed at her face and said “You look like something is bothering you. Mind telling what that is” Christabel chuckled awkwardly. “There’s nothing bothering me my—“ she said but Jeremiah cut her off. “Yes there is,” he said, causing her to eat her words and freeze momentarily.Jeremiah picked up the spoon, focused on his food, and said “Just like everyone on this estate, you were told who or more accurately what I am, and as what I am I have a few abilities that others like yourself don’t have. One of said abilities is my heightened senses which allows me to be extremely observant. Thanks to that, I’m able to catch the slightest change in things and people and I noticed it with you so are you going to lie to my face or are you going to be truthful?”Jeremiah looked at Lynette from head to toe and noted how nervous she was.“As you know, I won’t force you to do what you d
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 191
Jeremiah exited the castle and looked around for a bit then he saw a guard. He used his hand to call the guard over and the guard rushed to him. “Yes, My Lord?” The guard asked. “I remember you,” he said and the guard nodded. “Yes, My Lord. I was among the guards who followed his majesty to the gas plant last night. To be exact, I was the guard who opened the backseat door for you to put the corpse inside the car” “Yes, that’s right” Jeremiah replied after remembering the guard’s face properly. “Anyway, I sent a guard to fetch my motorcycle from outside the fence of the gas plant where I had left it last night, so I was wondering if he had returned and if so, where did he parked the motorcycle?” Jeremiah said. “Yes, My Lord, your motorcycle has been returned. It’s this way so please follow me” the guard said. “Alright,” Jeremiah nodded. The guard guided Jeremiah to the parking lot where his motorcycle was parked in front of the other beautiful and expensive vehicles ther

Jeremiah finally made it to the Crimson Fall’s Royal Mall and from the first impressions alone he saw why Christabel suggested it over all the other places she could have. It looked amazing. From how massive it was to the number of people going in and out of it. Everything about the mall was very inviting.Jeremiah removed his helmet and kept it on the motorcycle then he reached for his AirPod, which was repeating the phrase; “You have arrived at your destination” and he took it off his ear.He took out the AirPod case from his pocket and returned the AirPod to its place then he took out his phone from his other pocket and closed the Map app as he returned the AirPod case to his pocket. Jeremiah looked around and grimaced.“She’s not here yet?” he said.From how eager Britney sounded over the phone it seemed like she would be there waiting for him but she wasn’t. He wondered what could have happened but then it hit him like a rock to the head and he palmed his face in embarrassmen
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 193
A few minutes later, Jeremiah had gotten to the bank’s street sign, positioned in front of a junction at the top of a downward-sloping road that curved to the left.Just as he was about to get to the junction, slowing down his speed because he was about to go down a slope, he passed an old-looking truck with the front window rolled down and the driver making a phone call while staring at the bank in the opposite direction. What really caught Jeremiah’s very observant eyes were the tattoos on the driver’s neck and jaw that anyone else would have missed but not him.Without meaning to, he read the driver’s lips and it said “He’s inside and should be withdrawing right about…”Jeremiah groaned and then stopped focusing on the driver because he was at the junction and needed to look where he was going. Also, it wasn’t any of his business.He drove down the slopped road and went through the bank’s gate which was at the bottom where the road became plain again.Jeremiah parked in the parkin

“Crimson is in Bakers View?” One of the silhouettes, colored orange said and the others turned to it. “That’s very interesting. Tell us how your encounter went down”The other silhouettes returned their gaze to Grey and waited to hear the story he was going to give— a tale that was very important because it involved their organization’s greatest enemy. Grey went ahead to give the details of how he encountered Jeremiah— doing so in a succinct manner. From their meet-up at the auction house to their altercation behind the Mercury Jewels Jewelry store after Jeremiah had figured out his identity. Every detail gave them a better understanding of who they were messing with.“So there was a relic out there that could counteract your mind control and illusion spells,” said the black silhouette.“That’s insane, considering the fact that you are the most powerful member of Dark Emblem when it comes to mind control and most especially illusion spells,” said the white silhouette.Grey huffed, h
CHAPTER 307
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
