The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 21
“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 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

He proceeded to enjoy the drive until finally, they arrived at the airport and parked in front of the private jet that had been designated for the journey to meet his father. Standing by the jet and waiting for Jeremiah’s arrival were the pilot and a couple of beautiful flight attendants whose uniforms accentuated their figures perfectly. Their faces were also very beautiful, each flight attendant looking like she could walk an international runway The driver of the middle jeep and the captain of the bodyguards who was in the passenger seat both came out of the car and opened the backseat doors for Jeremiah and Kingston while everyone in the convoy came down to bid them goodbye. Jeremiah and Kingston came out of the car then, along with the Captain of the bodyguards who carried Jeremiah’s suit, they approached the pilot and the flight attendants who were all on one knee with their heads bowed to Jeremiah. “Good morning, Young Master Jeremiah. My name is Adam Gale and I’ll be

CHAPTER 142
Inside the Study, Reginald, who noticed that Jeremiah’s mind was elsewhere, asked him what he was doing.Jeremiah had actually been eavesdropping on David, wondering if he would say anything that would expose his involvement in the gas processing plant’s explosion and prove to Jeremiah that his suspicion was right. However, that didn’t happen and Jeremiah got annoyed that David stopped talking all of a sudden. From the last sentence Jeremiah heard David say before abruptly cutting himself off, he concluded that David knew he was onto him and was actively trying not to expose himself. Or perhaps it was just a coincidence, and Jeremiah was wrong about the whole thing—meaning David wasn’t involved in the explosion at all.There could only be one answer to the two possibilities, and time would reveal which one was correct because sooner or later, David was bound to slip up.All Jeremiah had to do was wait for that moment to come. Jeremiah replied “Nothing. I was just listening to what D

CHAPTER 141
David, looking at Jeremiah, blinked multiple times to emphasize his shock.Even though he had once thought that Jeremiah had joined hands with Dean and Adam to kill all the guards—after seeing the dismembered bodies when he escaped the plant—the fact that this was only an assumption and was never confirmed left him with some doubt that Jeremiah had ever gotten blood on his hands.That assumption quickly vanished after he heard about how Jeremiah saved everyone at the welcome ceremony from the Rubik's Cube bomb and even traveled a great distance to save him.However, when Jeremiah admitted outright that he had killed Dean—and went on to elaborate on how he did it—it sent a shock through David's body. He realized he might have been wrong about who Jeremiah had killed, but not about the fact that he had killed someone.‘So he really is a cold-blooded murderer’ David thought and gulped.Just then, David noticed something that felt concerning.He looked at Reginald and the three other men—

David tried standing up but before he did, Kingston offered him a hand. David looked at Kingston’s hand but instead of accepting, he felt insulted. The fact that he had just heard that Jeremiah, his one competition for the throne, was a powerful being who could do whatever he wanted, made him feel weak and useless in comparison, and seeing Kingston’s hand annoyed the hell out of him.Still, he had to maintain composure.“No thanks. I can stand on my own” David said, feigning a smile.“As you wish, Sir” Kingston replied then retracted his hand and stood upright while David went on his feet and walked back to where he once was.“Are you okay?” Reginald asked.However, David, who was annoyed that Reginald felt it necessary to ask that question out of concern for his earlier reaction, forced a smile.“I am Uncle, so please, continue,” David said. Reginald looked at Jeremiah and said “You should also listen to what I’m going to say because it involves you as well” “Okay,” Jeremiah grim

CHAPTER 139
Reginald started by revealing the history of Crimson Fall to David, who at first was confused as to why he was telling him an old folk tale but soon realized why when Reginald told him the part that only the king and a select few knew. The moment David heard about reincarnation, his eyes widened, asking himself if such a thing existed.Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only bombshell he was going to hear as the story continued to unfold.Reginald told him that it was the Garrick family's mission to make sure that Lord Crimson, the powerful dragon who ruled over Crimson Fall for centuries, reincarnated and like that wasn’t enough, he gestured at Jeremiah and told him that Jeremiah was Lord Crimson, reincarnated.“I’m sorry what?” David asked, trying to make sure he wasn’t mishearing things. “You heard me right. Your cousin, who we all thought was dead, is our one true ruler. The all-powerful, Lord Crimson” Reginald said passionately. David’s eyes blinked multiple times as he looked at

CHAPTER 138
The boldness with which Jeremiah said “Yes, I did” demoralized David. It was like he was telling David that he didn’t regret what he did and was daring him to reprimand his actions. Knowing that he couldn’t lash out at Jeremiah for what he did, David had no choice but to gulp and accept what happened and move on— making him more mad because he hated being made to feel small and insignificant. “I’m sure you had your reasons but can you please tell me why you hurt my friends,” David asked, making sure to choose his words carefully so as not to sound like he was confronting Jeremiah. “Friends? I think you’re misunderstanding something, David.” Reginald said and David quickly looked at him, wondering what he was talking about. “Jeremiah didn’t hurt your friends but your friend. Only one person was hurt by his hands” Reginald clarified. David grimaced. He reflected on Reginald’s words and remembered that the king had said “friend” instead of “friends” when he revealed that the per

That’s right, he had completely forgotten about his punishment because of the night he had, but it’s a good thing Reginald was bringing it up now.What was his uncle going to say? Hopefully, something along the lines of, he had seen that David had learned his lesson and because of that he had decided to bring the punishment to an end. David thought and started smiling discreetly.“After the aftermath of the explosion at the welcome ceremony, I have decided that—“ Reginald said, but David cut him off.“Explosion at the welcome ceremony?! What explosion?” David asked and Reginald paused.“You haven’t heard about the explosion yet?” Reginald asked. “No, I haven’t. There was another explosion but at the welcome ceremony?” David replied.David had been so anxious to find out what Jeremiah knew about the gas processing plant explosion that he was tunnel-visioned from everything else. He had just gone to his room to freshen up, changed clothes, and then went to Reginald’s study for the mee

CHAPTER 136
After looking at everyone in the Study and seeing how they were staring at him— especially Jeremiah’s whose stare was like a predator’s to a prey— David, who realized that he was in a hot mess, thought of how to get away from the situation.How could he spin the story and change the narrative in his favor? He wondered and his brain started working at a million miles an hour in search of the answer.Soon enough, a thought came to his mind and he decided to go with it.David started chuckling, making everyone wonder why he was doing that.What did he find so funny?“Uncle, what gave you the impression that I knew about the explosion before it happened?” David asked.Reginald, who thought about the question, grimaced and adjusted how he sat.“Well, if I remember correctly, you were rambling about how we should leave the area and were adamant about it for a good minute before the building exploded, so I thought that your behavior was because you beforehand that the building was going to e

CHAPTER 135
Once inside the study, the first thing Jeremiah did was pause and groan when he saw David standing in front of the desk. Kingston, who was just as surprised as Jeremiah at the sight of David, jolted and asked “Sir David, you’re already here?”“Yes, he is. Truthfully, even I was surprised when he arrived before you two did, but for some reason, he seemed eager to have the meeting which I guess is a good thing because I have so much to ask him” Reginald said.David, who was trying his best to keep his cool and act normal, turned to Reginald and smiled. “I just wanted to tell Uncle what happened because I know how worried he was about my disappearance and maybe that will calm his mind a little,” David said.Reginald, who didn’t know the young man’s true motive and believed his words, smiled. He took David’s feigned concern for him as a sign of David changing and attributed it to the punishment he gave him working. Speaking of the punishment, what was going to happen now that the guard

CHAPTER 134
Jeremiah, Kingston, and Steven went to Reginald’s study while Elizabeth went back into Jeremiah’s room to spend some more time with Lynette’s corpse.Since the body would most definitely be kept in Jeremiah’s room until the funeral tomorrow, this was going to be her only moment of privacy with her former protégé. Though it would be a one-sided conversation, as Lynette could talk back, Elizabeth was going to say everything she had in her chest and hopefully feel at ease with losing someone she cared about so soon.A couple of minutes later, after finally being at peace with Lynette’s passing, Christabel came to the room and she too got her chance to say goodbye to her friend and fellow protégé.After that, Christabel and Elizabeth reminisced on past moments they and Lynette spent together when she was alive and the experience made the remaining two form a stronger bond than what they had before.Just then, the room door was knocked. “Who is it?” Christabel asked after Elizabeth used
