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

Jeremiah had his hand on his chin.He focused on what was under the cloth and tried using his heightened senses to see if he could figure out anything about it besides the fact that it was a box. With his hearing, which was greater than a bat’s, Jeremiah had what could only be described as radar— the type used in science fiction movies to know exactly what something was just by sound alone.“Huh?” Jeremiah said after he had tried using his radar as best as he could but realized that it wasn’t working.Well, not that it wasn’t working as he could picture everything else in the area that wasn’t in his field of vision with the radar but the item underneath the cloth that was to be auctioned was undeterminable.‘What’s this? Why can’t my senses pick up anything?’ Jeremiah asked himself, finding it very strange.He focused even harder, using the fullest range of his radar, which allowed him to have what could only be called omniscience as he could perceive everything in the room, but stil

“For the next item, I have to inform everyone that there’s a little treat or should I say catch to it as that’s the correct term to use here,” The auctioneer said and the other bidders groaned in confusion as complaints flew everywhereUsually, all the rules are given at the start of the auction so why was the auctioneer trying to bring something new now? The bidders wondered and weren’t appreciative of what was happening.“What exactly do you mean by that?” One of the other bidders asked just as the worker with the item to be auctioned stepped forward.“First of all Master Xavier, I know that this is very unconventional but the client that provided us with this item explicitly instructed that we should start the bidding price at ten million dollars. The second thing they requested is that we give it to the first person who makes a bid for it which means that there isn’t going to be a competition for who can pay the most as whoever raises their paddle first wins the item. We are also
CHAPTER 290
All the other bidders squeezed their paddles furiously and growled at the disrespect they just received. How dare a young lady like Martha talk to elderly men who ranged from a few years to some decades older than her like that?Besides Jeremiah, she was the youngest person in the room but at the same time, she had the gull to speak so confidently.Was she looking down on them just because her master spent thirty million dollars on a quill? How Ludacris of her to have this level of hubris they thought.They will show her what they are made of… was what they all had in mind as they turned away from her to face the auctioneer and went ahead to make their counteroffers.Each counteroffer was with an addition of one to three million dollars and every time someone counter-offered, the auctioneer would state Andrew’s automatic counteroffer of an additional five hundred thousand dollars to the last called amount. Anytime he does that, the other bidders would look at Martha to see if she has
CHAPTER 289
“Mister Andrew, your quill will be waiting to be collected immediately after the auction or delivered to anywhere of your choice if you don’t want to leave with it yourself. Just have your assistant provide us with a location and our company will bring it to you as soon as possible” The auctioneer said while looking at Andrew and Martha“Thank you” Andrew replied.The auctioneer faced the rest of the audience and said “That was just the start of our extremely thrilling and captivating auction so if you missed achieving that prize then do not fret, I have more impressive items behind me as you can rightfully see. With that being said, please bring forth the next item”Immediately after the auctioneer finished calling for the next item, the worker with a long box came forward and then held it up for the auctioneer who opened it and showed that it was a sword inside.This sword was known as the sharpest sword in the entire world. It had a black handle with gold patterns on it. There was
CHAPTER 288
Everyone who stared at Martha wondered what master she could be talking about but there were only two options which were Jeremiah or the man sitting next to him.To them, it couldn’t have been Jeremiah because for one thing, they saw him come into the auction alone and secondly, he didn’t have the charisma that matched someone like Martha.That only left Andrew who they looked at, gracefully sitting with his legs crossed and busy looking bored instead of focusing on the auction.Yes, Andrew looked like someone who would be Martha’s master but that raised a good question; why was Jeremiah sitting between her and Andrew?Just then, some of the bidders who remembered Jeremiah and Martha switching seats and Jeremiah speaking with Andrew spoke, making those who hadn’t been paying attention to the three realize what had happened, providing an answer to their question.The auctioneer, who was just as shocked as everyone to hear such a price jump that went almost three times the original firs
CHAPTER 287
“The first thing my mentor told me was that somewhere out there in the world there’s always going to be someone better than you in some and maybe even all regards. You just have to behave with that thought in mind, always. The second thing he told me is, don’t let what you already know be the wall that you stand on to show your confidence because someone else can come around and turn you into Jericho. An example of that is what Martha just did for you. Take these two lessons and grow my friend” Andrew said and Jeremiah’s face became serious.‘Those things sound somewhat similar to what Obadiah told me when he started training me in magic. What a weird coincidence. Whoever Andrew’s mentor is, I’m sure he is a really cool person’ Jeremiah thought.Jeremiah nodded “Alright sir, I’ll engrave all the lessons I’ve learned from the both of you to heart and arrange my next steps accordingly,” he said.Andrew and Martha smiled, happy to have imparted such great lessons to someone like Jeremiah
CHAPTER 286
“So who are these associates of yours that told you about—?“ Jeremiah asked but Andrew cut him off with a hand gesture that said he should stop talking.“Hush for a moment. You might miss something important when it eventually comes up so no more talking. You are here to bid like everyone else so pay attention” Andrew said, pointing at the auctioneer before ending his and Jeremiah’s handshake. He then turned his entire body towards the podium, resting his back on his chair, and paid attention.Jeremiah, who found figuring out the identity of Andrew’s associates just as important as anything the auctioneer was going to say or bring out because the way Andrew dismissed his question seemed kind of suspicious— like he was trying to hide that information— didn’t want to just give up having his questions answered like that.He also only wanted the magical items that would be brought out among the many items being auctioned— which he had a feeling would be among the last items, so he felt l
CHAPTER 285
"Look, they have just finished addressing everyone and giving the rules for the auction like they always do so it's time to start," Andrew said to Jeremiah, letting him know what was going on because it was his first auction.He then looked at Jeremiah and said "I hope I and Martha didn't distract you from learning the rules seeing as this is your first auction and you needed to know every rule to participate properly" Jeremiah shrugged "Honestly, I got distracted but I catch on quickly. I'll just watch everyone else and you to know what to do when it gets to something I want," he said.Andrew smirked, looking impressed."A smart young man. I like that. Well, since we're going to keep talking through the duration of this auction, I guess it’s only appropriate for us to introduce ourselves. My name is Andrew Loch, and she is my longest friend, assistant, and non-romantic partner, Martha" Andrew said then shifted his gaze to Martha, hinting that she greets Johnathan.Martha turned to J
CHAPTER 284
With a face filled with curiosity, Jeremiah stared at the very distinguished-looking man for a few seconds, taking note of his notable features all through the span of his gaze. The first thing he noticed was that the man seemed just as tall as he was while sitting. However, Jeremiah couldn't tell if they were the same height or if the man was taller because the man had his legs crossed while also slouching a little.From what Jeremiah saw while walking into the room, slouching was something none of the other bidders did as they took what they were there for very seriously. The only other person who slouched was Jeremiah himself and for someone as distinguished and wealthy-looking as the man is, that didn't make that much sense.Slouching made sense for Jeremiah because he had lived all his life minus the past month as a normal person and so all the bad habits like having poor sitting posture and etiquette had all been ingrained in him for decades.The weeks of training he did at the
