While they all were in awe, the four at the back were confused.

“Young master, you were invited to this party by Sydney too?” Kristin asked, but then saw Jeremiah’s just as confused look.

“I didn’t even think you knew her based on your reaction earlier, young master,” Brenda said.

Jeremiah frowned and said “That’s because I don’t know her. This is the first time I’m hearing of any invite to this party from that girl. In fact, the first time I heard about this party was when Kristin invited me, and Sydney, as you call her, couldn’t have told someone else from my camp because they would have told me”

“Are you saying that Sydney lied about inviting you?”

“That’s what it’s pointing to,” Lynette said.

“Why would she do that?” Kristin asked.

“What else if not to gain Rosie’s favor,” Brenda said and they all looked at her.

“What do you mean?” Lynette asked.

“Normally, the girl that will be the president of the sorority in the future when she’s a senior is selected years prior when she’s a

    Sydney quickly looked at the sorority President and said “Of course not, Rosie. How can you believe the nonsense this idiot just said? That I of all people would lie about something so severe. Of course, I invited master Jeremiah Garrick”Jeremiah frowned at the mention of his name. He really hated being lied on.“Then where is he? The party has been going on for quite some time now and you still haven’t brought him.” Kristin said. “Yeah, Sydney, we’re all waiting. Where is he?” One of the people in the gathering, who still had hope, said. “If he doesn’t come as you said then things are going to start looking bad for you so prove that you aren’t lying!” another said.“Yes, prove it!”The others kept hammering her. “Sydney, what’s going on here?” Rosie asked, a look of disappointment on her face.“Did you really lie about—?” Rosie asked but was interrupted by Sydney’s ringtone.Immediately, Sydney smiled.“You guys want me to prove that I wasn’t lying, right? Well, that’s the future

Don’t finish that statement before they hear you. You don’t know what they will do to you seeing as how aggressive they all are”“Who said that?!” The fake castle guard yelled as he looked at the crowd of party folks.Everyone in the gathering jolted and became nervous. “One of you spoke ill of the master so that person has five seconds to come out here or it’s over for all of—“ the fake castle guard said but was interrupted by the fake Jeremiah.“It’s okay, Bob” Fake Jeremiah said.“But Master” Bob said, an angry look on his face.“We’re here as guest and are meant to enjoy ourselves so don’t be too uptight. I’m sure the person who said whatever you heard didn’t mean anything by it” Fake Jeremiah said, trying to sway the crowd that saw him as an unlikable person. He thought that showing mercy and calming

    Fake Jeremiah groaned as he looked at her, enjoying the fact that she was begging him. Meanwhile, Bob got to Kristin and was about to do something to her.“Wait a minute, Bob” fake Jeremiah said and Bob froze.Immediately, everyone looked at the imposter. Meanwhile, the real Jeremiah, who had finally gotten Brenda to stop apologizing to him, had told Lynette to go fetch Steven because he needed him for something and was waiting for their arrival. Once they arrive was when he would finally make his move but until then he was going to wait and watch.“You see that, I’ve stopped my guard” fake Jeremiah said and Rosie sighed with relief.“Thank you so much, master—“ the sorority president said but Fake Jeremiah cut her off.“Oh, don’t thank me. I couldn’t stand to watch a beauty like you begging me so passionately. I had to show mercy” Fake Jeremiah said, peering into Rosie’s shirt and staring at her breasts which were showing because her head was bowed. “I don’t know what to say. But,

    Everyone jolted because they were so enthralled by what they were watching that they didn’t expect to hear a sudden loud voice from behind.“Who said that?” Everyone turned in the direction of the voice and they saw Jeremiah and Steven. “It’s that guy again”“Has he not learned his lesson or has he perhaps gone mad?”“First Kristin does what she did and now he wants to antagonize the castle guards and the future king of Crimson Fall again. I’m just glad I’m not either of them”Those in the gathering murmured as they saw Jeremiah and Steven walk through the space they had created for fake Jeremiah and his fake castle guards earlier. “I’ve watched you misbehave yourself and make a fool of my name for far too long and now it’s time I put an end to this,” Jeremiah said. “It’s you again.” Fake Jeremiah frowned “What the hell are you talking about me making a fool of your name? Who the hell are you supposed to be?!”Jeremiah, frowning, said “You don’t know? I imagined you would know the

    Dodging the attacks was one thing but catching it? How strong was Jeremiah? They wondered. “You bastard—!” Bob said then grimaced when he felt Jeremiah crushing his fist in his hand.“Ahh!” Bob exclaimed in pain and everyone wondered what Jeremiah was doing to him only for them to hear the sound of bone cracking.Immediately, their expressions became grim as they imagined the pain Bob was in. “I said let go, you bastard!” Bob exclaimed then attacked with his left hand and Jeremiah caused it too. Again, everyone was shocked by Jeremiah’s display of power and skill. Jeremiah, who was extremely pissed and wasn’t in the mood to show mercy twisted both of Bob’s hands and they snapped at the wrists.Everyone, who heard the sound of dislocating bones, felt a shiver run through their body. The last thing they wanted was to be in Bob’s place as it didn’t look good at the moment.Bob was in so much pain that his arrogance and bravado were nowhere to be seen.Now, he was nothing but a pitifu

    The imposter couldn’t believe the mess he had put himself and to make things worse he had used his mouth to say that disrespecting the Royal family was an act punishable by death and disrespecting the royal family was exactly what he did.He was finished. Even from Jeremiah’s looks, it was clear that the real future king of Crimson Fall wasn’t going to show mercy— not after everything the imposter had done while pretending to be him. Even if he had been super respectful while pretending to be Jeremiah, he would have still been given the most severe punishment because the act of pretending to be a Royal was a serious crime. However, he wasn’t respectful while pretending. He had been a rude asshole who sexually harassed someone who respected the royal family and insulted the people who gathered there who now felt negatively about the royal family because of him.Now that everyone knew he was a pretender, they had realized that the real Jeremiah didn’t do anything wrong and their negat

    Though Jeremiah wasn’t using that much strength, the fact that he was several times stronger than the regular human made his light slap extremely painful. “You were hired to pretend to be me and you not only accepted but you then decided to tarnish my name with your disgusting antics and you expect me to go easy on you?” Jeremiah asked.“B-but I was only doing my—“ the imposter said but Jeremiah gave him another slap to shut him up. Jeremiah knew that even though Sydney had hired the imposter to pretend to be him she wasn’t the one who told him to do the extra things he did because she had tried to stop him when he started going too far with the inappropriate behavior. However, he ignored her instructions because the power his fake persona gave him went to his head.The imposter couldn’t blame anyone but himself so trying to do so pissed Jeremiah off.Immediately, the imposter’s left chick that Jeremiah had slapped began to turn red and swell as it hurt as hell.“Do you also think t

    Immediately, Sydney gulped and dropped to her knees. She then pressed her forehead on the floor, assuming a groveling position.“Please forgive me, Master Jeremiah! I made a stupid mistake hiring those crazy people to pretend to be you and your castle guards.” She said and the imposter got pissed.“Who do you think you’re calling crazy?” The imposter asked.Steven glared at him and he gulped.“Sorry about that,” the imposter said then shut his mouth. With the imposter taken care of, Sydney continued her begging. “I don’t know what came over me to make such a monumentally idiotic decision but I beg of you to be lenient with your punishment, master,” Sydney said as Jeremiah walked up to her. He frowned as he stared at the girl.“What I don’t understand is begging for forgiveness for a crime you did while already knowing how severe the punishment was. Did you not think you would get found out when you did this? Did you think you would go Scot-free after disrespecting me and my family?

    “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 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

    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

    “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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
