The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 20
“Young Master, what’s wrong? You stopped walking” Silver said, after noticing Jeremiah’s daze.Jeremiah shook his head.“It’s nothing. Let’s continue.” Jeremiah came back to his senses and began to walk again. As they walked closer, Jeremiah assessed every person standing by the cars, wondering who among them was the boss Silver was talking about, but none of them seemed like they were that boss.“So where is this boss you mentioned—?” Jeremiah asked, but was interrupted when, suddenly, the bodyguard standing by the car in the middle of the convoy, opened the back door.The first thing Jeremiah saw come out of the car was a pair of Tom Ford black leather shoes priced at sixty-five thousand dollars, both so well polished and sparkling that they could eclipse the sun.Already impressed, Jeremiah looked up and saw who wore the luxurious shoes. The person who the bodyguard had opened the door for.It was an elderly-looking gentleman with a full head of white hair and a dignified look abo

“Look over there! There are so many beautiful cars coming this way— wait! Isn’t that a convoy?!” Yelled a pedestrian who was pointing at the approaching cars in the distance.“You’re right, it is a convoy! Who do you think is being driven inside such amazing cars?!” Another pedestrian asked.“I don’t know, but I wouldn’t doubt if someone told me that it's one of our senators. A normal person could never get that level of protection!”“Those many cars for an ordinary senator? Don’t be ridiculous! Even in a million years, something like that is never going to happen!”“Then who do you think is in it since you’re so smart?!”“Isn’t it obvious? It’s the president. No other person besides the president could be worthy of such a convoy.”“Are you stupid?! What on earth would the president be doing here when he has more important things to deal with? I mean, have you ever seen the presidential convoy drive by here before? Because I haven’t!”“I don’t know, but President or not, whoever is in

“My apologies for speaking out of turn.” Rogan apologized.“It’s fine.” Jeremiah replied for the Captain. “Anyway, what do you want? Why were you running over here?”“About that. I saw a video on social media about a spectacular convoy driving down this street and parking in front of this store. Guessing that whoever owned the convoy was planning on coming in here, I ran out of my office as fast as I could to come welcome them— I mean you, sir” Rogan said.Jeremiah groaned, wondering what the point of that was. Just because he came in a convoy doesn’t mean he wanted any form of special treatment.Also, the manager’s antics could have resulted in him getting shot and killed, so it wasn’t worth it in Jeremiah’s eyes.“Alright then. My name is Jeremiah Garrick. It’s nice to meet you, Rogan” Jeremiah said.Rogan bowed his head.“It’s nice to meet you too, sir. I assume you’re here to buy some clothes, so please have a look around. We have everything you want, and I’m more than happy to sh

“Who the hell are you?!”Jeremiah turned around to face the man in the changing room with him.He saw that the man was a staff member of the store and after a quick scan, he realized that the door the man had just walked out of led to the restroom and, because he had a mop and a bucket in his hands, it meant that he had just finished cleaning it.Jeremiah looked at the man’s name tag and saw the name Brad.Brad looked at Jeremiah from head to toe, and he sneered with disgust.He put the mop into the bucket and said “I asked you a question, so are you deaf and can’t hear me or are you just too retarded to form an answer?”“I was going to tell you my name, but not after you'd spoken to me like that,” Jeremiah frowned. He didn’t appreciate Brad’s tone of voice and his choice of words.Brad, on the other hand, scoffed.“Such big words coming from a—“ Brad said, then noticed the suit on the couch beside Jeremiah.“Wait a minute! Is that the Gustav limited edition Broque suit from his snowf

“What’s going on here—?” Brad asked but was cut off by a punch so strong it sent a tooth flying out of his mouth and almost knocked him out. The bodyguards dragged Rogan and Brad to Kingston, who stood beside Jeremiah, then they forced the two workers of the store to go on their knees. Looking at how terrible the situation he was in was, Rogan’s heart started pounding in his chest like it was about to explode. “Mister Kingston, I sincerely apologize for—“ “Shut your mouth,” Kingston said coldly, and Rogan held his mouth. “Sir, what’s going on? Who are these people?” Brad asked, feeling so much pain in his mouth that was bleeding seriously. “You idiot. You just doomed us both!” Rogan glared at Brad. If stares could kill, Brad would have been dead and buried by then. “I’ve doomed us both? But what did I do—?” Brad asked, but Kingston cut him off. “I didn’t quite hear what you said when you talked about the young master. What did you call him again?” Kingston asked. B

Just as Jeremiah was halfway done showering, he suddenly heard the changing room door open.“It’s me, Mister Jeremiah. I’ve come with the clothes you’re going to wear in place of the one that got ruined by my staff and the water he poured you. I brought a few which I’ll be leaving on the couch, so when you’re done cleaning up, give them a try and pick the one you want after you’ve checked out the suit I also left on the couch” Rogan said as he dropped the clothes on the couch like he said. He walked over to the restroom door and said “As for the body towel, it’s right here on the doorknob so you can easily reach for it when you’re done showering”Rogan hung the hundred percent pure cotton white towel on the knob and made sure it wouldn’t fall even when Jeremiah twisted the knob to open the door. Because of how great and comfortable the towel was, the selling price was two hundred dollars, but here was Jeremiah being given for a one-time use only.That just shows how much effort Roga
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 27
The moment Jeremiah and his entourage came out of the High Fashion Emporium, the people on the road who had been waiting for him to come out so they could get a view of his identity, scrambled and stretched their necks trying to get a glimpse of his face. Because they had missed the opportunity to look at him when he entered the store, they were going to make sure they made up for that and do it now. Their phones and cameras were already set to take a barrage of photos and videos the moment they saw him. Unfortunately, the moment they tried to find Jeremiah amongst the people who came out of the store, they were met with some serious challenges. The first challenge was the same one they faced last time which was that the cars and the entourage outside the store blocked their view. Silver had taken charge immediately after Kingston went inside the store with Jeremiah and she organized the remaining members of the convoy to make sure that none of the hungry bystanders got the

Just like with Daniel back at the house a couple of days ago, Jeremiah told Victoria all about his family and she got increasingly shocked the more information he conveyed. And just like with Daniel, he omitted anything that had to do with the fact that he was not from this world but a Dragon that reincarnated.With her eyes widened, Victoria just sat there, having no idea she had been quiet for a full thirty seconds since Jeremiah stopped talking. “Aren’t you going to say anything?” He asked, snapping Victoria back to her senses.“I’m sorry, I was just taken aback for a moment but I’m fine now. I can’t believe I’m sitting at the same table and having a date with the future king of Crimson Fall. This is insane” she said, unsure whether she should smile or be nervous, but leaning towards nervousness. Jeremiah chuckled.“You don’t have to be nervous around me, you know that right? It’s not like I changed into an all-new person. I’m still the same Jeremiah who you used to get coffee fr
CHAPTER 320
The dining hall was themed like the ocean and with the blue ambiance of the entire room, Victoria’s red dress popped and became the center of attention.All four walls of the dining hall had transformed into a display of the deep blue sea, showcasing different fish life like a big aquarium. Just like the cold they had felt when the elevator changed into a space-themed interior, the dining hall had a salty and fresh smell to it that made the whole thing more believable.Like that wasn’t crazy enough, swimming through the open space of the dining hall were holographic fishes and the beautiful in design perfect in scale. "Jeremiah, look at that!" Victoria said as she pointed at one of the holographic fishes that was her favorite aquatic life.Jeremiah grimaced, looking impressed by the fish which was one he had never seen before."Wow, this is amazing!" Victoria smiled, completely mesmerized by the showcase and before she could feed her eyes to her heart's content, Presley spoke out."Y

“It hasn’t been designed yet? Y’all made it seem like something so grand when it hasn’t been designed yet? Is this some kind of sick joke or something?” Presley looked at him with surprise.“Oh, Mister Wellings didn’t tell you about this? I’m terribly sorry, sir. Since you took his place to be here, I thought you would have been informed about the workings of the dining hall but you weren’t. It’s my fault for not being proactive enough and asking what you knew before taking you here because it looks like we’re up to no good” Presley said. “The workings of the dining hall? What does that mean?” Jeremiah asked, managing his annoyance.“Well, Chandler over there is an architect as you heard me say before and the walls of this room, just like the elevator and the passage we just walked through are lined with resonance crystals, although these ones are stronger”Jeremiah grimaced. “Resonance crystals? What are you talking about?” Victoria asked. “Well, madam, resonance Crystals are a s
CHAPTER 318
Jeremiah and Victoria looked all around the place and just like the elevator, the Emperor floor was also themed like the solar system but because of the size, it felt like they were in the vastness of space.Again, Jeremiah found it intriguing that he was just thinking about his father’s planetarium and space then all of a sudden everything changed to match that like it was some kind of magic. "Thank you," Jeremiah said then looked at the two hosts individually and asked, "So which one of you should I address from now on, or is it going to be both of you?""That would be me, sir. My name is Presley Montgomery and I'll be your host for the evening" the male host said with a hand on his chest as he bowed in respect.“The Emperor floor offers two hosts and leaves it to the guests to choose who they want to be catered by. Typically a man goes with a man and a woman goes with a woman but the option to pick it’s still there, so if you want to pick my colleague, Annabelle Grimes, then that
CHAPTER 317
“Are you ready to go up?” Jeremiah asked Victoria. Feeling a bit nervous because she wasn’t sure of what was going to happen next, she moved in closer to Jeremiah and nodded.“Yes, I’m ready” she replied.“Alright,” Jeremiah said then focused on the buttons there.To indicate how increasingly luxurious the floors became the higher up you go, the elevator buttons were used to showcase that. Each floor had unique and beautiful buttons assigned to it in the already alluring and stylized gold-plated panel.There was one specific button out of all the rest that looked like it was the most important button. As such, that button was the highest one in the lineup with a notable gap between it and the ones directly underneath.That meant that the level of luxury afforded between the room that that button led to and the one under it were day and night apart which could only mean one thing.“The Emperor floor,” Jeremiah said the moment he identified the button and wasted no time pressing it.Th
CHAPTER 316
“No, Master Jeremiah didn’t lose to me” Wellings replied and Victoria grimaced in surprise.“Wait, then does that mean you lost against him?” She said, shocked.She couldn’t fathom how someone like Wellings could lose to Jeremiah in an auction when auctions are won based on money.Was Welling’s saying that Jeremiah was richer than him? But that’s not possible, right?Wellings chuckled.“Not at all” he replied and that didn’t help to clear Victoria on what had happened.“So was it someone else? Did you two lose to another bidder?” She asked, trying her best to understand.“I did, but not Master Jeremiah” Wellings answered.Victoria tilted her head as she asked “What does that mean?”“Let me put it like this. I won something and lost some in that auction, but Master Jeremiah on the other hand only bided for one item which he won”Victoria furrowed her eyebrows.“Jeremiah beat the other bidders for the item? Is that what you’re trying to say”She wasn’t trying to belittle Jeremiah with h
CHAPTER 315
“I suppose you’ve noticed that this building isn’t what it used to be a year ago,” Wellings said and Jeremiah grimaced.Since Jeremiah had been poor for most of his life which only changed less than a month ago, he didn’t know that much about high-end restaurants like The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant or any other one out there.The only reason he did was that Mary used to nag him about going to one every anniversary they had since they started dating, each time growing increasingly frustrated when he said he couldn’t take her because of his mother’s health issues and other responsibilities that needed the money.Her nagging only stopped after they got married and Jeremiah noticed that she hadn’t said anything about spending their anniversary as a dinner date in The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant.Jeremiah had just thought that she had finally understood his financial challenges and had decided to not bother him about something he couldn’t afford. Little did he know that she was
CHAPTER 314
At the moment, Jeremiah was very suspicious of Wellings because of Grey, who had also known his identity even though he hadn’t been the one who told either of them. Now, the question was whether Wellings was another member of Dark Emblem, because if he was then things wouldn’t go well for him. After how angry Grey had made Jeremiah during their last encounter, any member of Dark Emblem who Jeremiah came across would pay the price for the things that happened. Still, Jeremiah gave Wellings the benefit of the doubt, having a feeling that he wasn’t a member of Dark Emblem because of one complex reason; the fact that Wellings was tricked by Grey’s illusion spell and had communicated with Martha in the auction house. Now, Wellings could have been pretending that she was real, just like Grey was. But, the way their interaction was very hostile proved that he wasn’t playing any tricks. Why argue with someone he knew was an illusion and risk escalating the situation to a point that might
CHAPTER 313
Jeremiah and Victoria walked into the Reyal Darling Gourmet Restaurant and were immediately greeted by the spectacular ambiance and marvelous interior designs. The air smelled and tasted like something from the past, having a welcoming feeling about it that dropped the guard of each individual person who was enveloped by it.It was like walking into a different realm that prided itself in providing the best luxury and comfort possible and this was just the entrance. How heightened would those feelings be in the main dining?The small number of staff members Jeremiah and Victoria had seen all seemed professional in their respective roles and everything came together like a well-oiled machine. “Welcome, sir. Please enjoy your time at The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant” greeted the staff who was on Jeremiah’s side of the entrance while the staff by Victoria’s side greeted her too.The beautiful nurse couldn’t help but smile as she had never experienced such excitement before. She cou
