The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 202
Inside the apartment building, in one of the rooms on the top floor sat the Kingpin of the operation on a luxurious couch and was watching a game of football on his massive fifty-five-inch television.On both sides were two skimpy-dressed girls who couldn’t get their bodies off of him.The Kingpin had his right hand inside the shirt of one of the girls, fondling her breasts while the left hand held both the cigar he was smoking and his betting ticket for the current game he was watching.On each corner of the room was a hooligan who served as his protection and they were all properly armed.The Kingpin took his eyes off the television for a moment and looked at something that caused the veins on the sides of his head to throb.“How long are all of you fuckers going to take before you finish counting that, huh?!” He yelled at the gathering of five scared kids between his couch and the television.They all sat on the floor, counting heaps of cash in their middle while supervising them w
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 203
Since Jeremiah had no way of blocking a bullet if he was shot— as he hadn’t learned any defensive magic yet or any type of magic for that matter—the only chance he had of surviving this ordeal was by either stopping the gun from being fired in the first place or moving out of the path of the bullet if he couldn’t stop the shot.Thankfully, his heightened senses and speed were all he needed to do that.Seeing the hooligan about to pull the trigger and shoot him right between the eyes, even though he still had his helmet on, let Jeremiah know that it was time to take action.He shifted out of position which made the hooligan not fire the shot because he had to aim again. Unfortunately, Jeremiah wasn’t going to let that happen.Jeremiah focused on the hooligans closest to him— the ones with the metal baseball bat and the metal pipe— and he attacked them.They saw him coming and went on the offensive too, but sadly they were no match for Jeremiah.His enhanced strength, reflexes, and spee
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 204
Jeremiah ran into the building and immediately was confronted by the multitude of hooligans, all ready to fight back with their different weapons of choice, not including guns.Because of how loud a gun was, firing many at once was bound to bring unwanted attention like the police, so they had to take care of Jeremiah quietly. They also thought that they didn’t need it because they outnumbered Jeremiah. Also, shooting him would deal with him too quickly and they didn’t want that. They wanted to punish him for coming into their turf and throwing his weight around by beating him to a pulp and torturing him for a long time. Knowing just how dangerous Jeremiah was, thanks to what most of them had witnessed take place outside the apartment, the information to not underestimate Jeremiah had already spread and not a single one of them was going to make the same mistake as the first two hooligans who had fought Jeremiah outside.They also weren’t going to go at him as singles or in pairs of
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 205
Everyone focused, trying their hardest to increase how much of what was happening on the floors below they could hear.Unfortunately, doing that presented a challenge because they were on the third floor and unless someone was loud to a certain decibel, nothing from the ground floor would be audible to them.Still, they hoped to pick up the voice of at least one of the hooligans who had gone down to stop Jeremiah, but they couldn’t because something else was obstructing them.That was the basketball game being shown on the massive television whose sound was blasting off its high-quality speakers.“Where’s the fucking remote!” the Kingpin asked both of the skimpy-dressed girls sitting on the couch.They hurriedly searched for and gave the remote to him then he angrily muted the television and tossed the remote at the closest girl.Without the television’s noise disturbing them, the Kingpin tried listening again to see if he could pick up any sound but all he could hear was the breaths

“Charlie?! What the hell is going on?!” Jeremiah panicked.He hurried to the room and then stopped by the doorway, his mind going through many scenarios of what could have happened.Could they have figured out why he was there and done something to Charlie in retaliation?Jeremiah assessed the environment, trying to figure out what caused the screaming he heard earlier, all the while hoping it wasn’t what he was thinking.First, he noticed the kids on the floor who all looked scared and seemed like the ones who had screamed because the voices matched their age.He didn’t know what Charlie looked like and he couldn’t use Jackson’s face as a reference because Jackson was his grandfather and an old man so the resemblance wouldn’t be there. Still, the fact that none of the kids looked hurt helped calm his mind a bit and if Charlie was one of them then things were good. Jeremiah continued to assess the environment and then saw the sight that gave the kids their fright and caused them to
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 207
Seeing Jeremiah’s hands in the air, the kingpin smirked, feeling powerful as he was the one who made it happen.“Good,” he said smugly. The kingpin shifted his gaze to the dominatrix who was standing between himself and Jeremiah, still seeing Jeremiah in his peripheral vision and ready to retaliate if he did anything stupid.“Sasha” he called and the dominatrix quickly turned to him.“Yes, boss?” She asked. Using his head and a raise of his right eyebrow, he gestured at Charlie—who was still at gunpoint—and said, "Bring the brat."“Sure thing, boss” Sasha grinned proudly, enjoying every moment of what was happening.She walked over to where the kids were gathered, yelling “Move out my way you fucking worms!” The four other kids hurried out of her path while Charlie, who was directly in front of her, tried moving back to distance himself. Unfortunately, his back met the wall after moving back a couple of feet. “There’s nowhere to run you bastard. Now, come here!” Sasha commanded th
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 208
The kingpin’s words resounded in Jeremiah’s ears and he groaned suspiciously, wondering what he was trying to do. From the look on his face, it definitely wasn’t anything good.“Now, walk forward,” the kingpin said.Jeremiah furrowed his eyebrows, getting even more confused. What reason did the kingpin have for making him go closer when he, the kingpin, had been trying to keep him at a distance since he made his appearance?Surely, he hadn’t started underestimating him all of a sudden, right? That wouldn’t make any sense or be smart and would be contrary to how he had come across this whole time. So, what could his end goal be?Seeing that Jeremiah was hesitant about following the instructions, the kingpin frowned. To teach Jeremiah a lesson he used the bottom of the gun’s handle to wack Charlie in the head and Jeremiah jolted.The three remaining kids who were watching screamed, shocked at what the Kingpin had just done.“Shut it!” The Kingpin yelled at them. Their voices dropped a

The kids shuddered and hurriedly went back to counting and arranging the money.Their fear of the kingpin had skyrocketed to new heights—which said a lot, considering they had alwaus been terrified of him. But witnessing his willingness to kill made them desperate to avoid becoming the next victim, so they followed his every command without hesitation.“That’s what I like to see” the kingpin smirked then walked over to where Victor was.He sneered at his right hand man with annoyance then rolled his eyes and kicked Victor’s foot.“Get up already, fool. How long do you plan on laying there like a dog?” The kingpin said then left Victor and picked up the duffel bag of money. He unzipped the bag and checked the cash inside.He grimaced after seeing the many unbundled cash that was on top the pile of bundled currencies.“Stupid old man. He can’t even get the money right. No wonder he rented out an idiotic hero who died like a fool” he scoffed then stopped checking the money.The kingpin

“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
