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
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 210
A minute ago, after the kingpin pointed his gun at Jeremiah and told him to jump out of the window, Jeremiah smirked discretely.That was exactly what Jeremiah wanted— for the gun to be aimed at him and not any of the kids who would definitely die if they were shot. He also wanted the kingpin to stop using the kids as hostages and he just got exactly that.The kingpin made his smug comment about Jeremiah losing to him and was about to shoot, but Jeremiah didn’t care to listen. His focus was on the nozzle of the gun and the kingpin’s trigger finger.He used his keen sight to predict where the bullet would hit when fired based on where the nozzle was pointing. Then he used the kingpin’s trigger finger to know how long he had to dodge before the bullet got to him. He had to dodge before the gun was actually fired but he had to do it at the right time— when the kingpin couldn't stop himself from firing the gun and changing aim. It was a very thin margin for success but with his reflexes
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 211
“Who are you?! Where did you come from?! Get out! Get out!” They screamed, throwing whatever they had at Jeremiah.With quick reflexes, Jeremiah dodged everything thrown at him while also apologizing for interrupting what they were doing.Just then, he heard the kingpin’s footsteps walking towards the window he had fallen out of earlier and he looked up.“Good. He’s probably going to check what’s going on and will be distracted. I better use this opportunity well” Jeremiah said then he ran out of the content room. He went for the stairs and climbed to the fourth floor. He ran past the four hooligans he had knocked out earlier, grabbed the metallic baseball bat he had dropped on the floor as well, and rushed to the kingpin’s room. The sound of his footsteps approaching the door and the aura of his presence made Sasha and the others look at the door. The kingpin, however, was too focused on wondering where Jeremiah’s body was to realize that he had just appeared in the room, just as

“You talk too much” Jeremiah said to the kingpin, who had been talking a big game since but had failed to back it up. Then, he let go of the man’s unconscious body and dropped to the floor like an heavy log. Jeremiah looked at the kids and they all jolted. They couldn’t believe that he had just taken care of the man who had been a terror to them for the past couple of hours but the question and concern now became what he was going to do to them.Was he going to free them like everything he had done eluded to or did he perhaps have his own motive that brought him there and taking care of their kidnappers was a part of it? They wondered but hoped it was the former. Jeremiah looked around at the mess he had created in pursuit of his rescue mission then he heard Sasha grunting and cursing at him from the floor she was tied up.“How dare you do that to the boss, you fucking piece of shit?! Untie me right now and I’ll teach you a big lesson or maybe you’re too coward to do so” she said,

“I’m the one who called the police as you can hear.” Jeremiah said and the kids listened to the sirens blaring in the distance.“However, I didn’t give them this exact address because I didn’t know it, so they are most likely patrolling the area, trying to find this apartment. Everyone in this building besides you guys have already been taken care of so just wait outside and let the police know what happened here” Jeremiah said. Jeremiah had no problem with the kids telling the police about him because he didn’t kill anyone so there wouldn’t be any orders for his arrest. Also, the police will most likely not believe the kids when they say he did all that damaged to the gang by himself without killing a single person as it was a feat not humanly possible. Furthermore, the damage was done to a gang of criminals so the police will want to close the case as quickly as possible. At the same moment Jeremiah was talking to the kids about having taken care of everyone in the building, on th

Jeremiah drove to the Crimson Fall’s Royal Mall as fast as he could and because he was on a motorcycle he had very few obstructions on the way there that a conventional car would have.He could go through tighter openings, allowing him to overtake a lot of cars that would have blocked his way and slowed him down if he had driven a car.Using his heightened sense of hearing and sight, he was able to drive without fear of incoming vehicles when speeding past junctions and traffic lights.He was also able to know when he was coming close to a police car that would track his speed and know that he was breaking the speed limit, so he would slow down just in time and pass them then hit the throttle once more. Due to all of that, Jeremiah was able to get to the mall at the same moment Britney’s Uber was parking in front of the location, making it seem like he wasn’t just coming from a very far distance.“Jeremiah?” Britney said, watching Jeremiah park the motorcycle and turn off the engine.
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 215
Britney’s eyes widened as she was surprised by the question but then she returned them to normal and smiled. “So you noticed, huh” she said.“Yes, I did. So, is there anything you want to tell me?” He asked. “Well, the truth is that I didn’t know whether to call you by your name or by your highness,” Britney said and Jeremiah grimaced. “I couldn’t get the fact that your last name is Garrick— the same last name as the king— off my mind, so when I got home last night I did a little digging and realized that you’re related to the king” Jeremiah groaned.“What do you mean by digging?” He asked, confused because there hadn’t been any public mention of him being related to Reginald as the bombing at the welcome ceremony stopped it, so what was she talking about?“I used to want to be one of the castle maids when I turned sixteen, so just like the thousands of girls my age back then, I studied as much about the Royal Family as I possibly could. I also collected research materials and amon

“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
