The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 249
Obadiah started the session by asking Jeremiah how far he had gone in the grimoire he gave him and when Jeremiah said how far he was, the shaman was surprised. To think he studied so much in a day. The important part now was if he had mastered what he studied and to know that, the shaman tested him. To no surprise, Jeremiah aced all the tests and with that, their training fast-tracked by a lot but that wasn’t a problem.Obadiah had realized how quickly Jeremiah learned magic so he took into account that Jeremiah would have made a lot of progress by the time they met again and to not repeat the last training session, he made sure he had enough to teach the young master that day. By the time they were done for the day, Jeremiah’s skill had advanced greatly. “At this rate, you will be just as proficient as me by the time I want to leave Crimson Fall” Obadiah joked and Jeremiah laughed. They ended training for the day and both men went to spend the rest of their day doing what they w

After a couple of minutes of smooth driving, the taxi finally arrived at the destination. The driver parked in front of the entrance of the hotel and looked at Jeremiah in the back seat.“Welcome to Maple Hotel, sir. It has everything a fine gentleman like yourself could ever want. It’s a little bit on the pricy side but being a good judge of people I have a feeling the price wouldn’t be a problem for you” the driver smiled. Jeremiah looked at the hotel and groaned.“You like it, don’t you? Trust me, I know what you’ll enjoy so please check it out,” the driver said. “Thanks for the ride and helping me decide which hotel to stay in,” Jeremiah said and the driver grinned proudly. Jeremiah came out of the car, walked to the front passenger side, and pushed his upper body through the open window.“You use Apple Pay, right?” He asked as he took out his phone from his pocket.“Of course, sir” the driver replied.He reached for his phone and set up the price while Jeremiah entered his Ap

James was the guide they called when a very special person was lodging a room in the hotel so he understood the assignment perfectly which was to make Jeremiah as comfortable as possible They both walked to the elevator and James pressed the button to make the door open on the floor they were on but just as they started to wait, Jeremiah said:“If you don’t mind, can we use the stairs instead of the elevator?” James looked at the young master and furrowed his eyebrows.“Why, sir? Do you have an issue with elevators?” The guide asked as he had never once heard of a situation where a guest wanted to take the stairs instead of the elevator.Jeremiah shrugged and replied “Not an issue per se but using an elevator makes me nauseous. If possible, I would like to avoid that” Jeremiah had always been nauseous when using an elevator so he always avoided it. However, since he got his powers back at Crimson Fall, he hadn’t been in one. As such, he didn’t know if he would get nauseous still or

After a few minutes of freshening up, Jeremiah came out of the bathroom, looking clean and great as always. There was already a towel waiting to be used in the shower so he obliged himself and used it to dry up. Then, he wore the pristine white Maple Hotel robe that was next to the towel on the hanger and he came out of the bathroom. Sadly, the one thing he needed that wasn’t present in the bathroom or room was underwear as it would be considered inappropriate if the hotel provided it for the guests. That meant Jeremiah, who didn’t want to be butt naked had to repeat the underwear he wore throughout the day. Fortunately, the cleanliness of the underwear wasn’t a problem because there was a handy spell he learned from Obadiah that was meant to clean fabric. The spell was the shaman’s favorite spell as since he roamed around the world trying to prevent Dark Emblem from finding him, he couldn’t carry much luggage besides the necessary. This made him have limited options when it c

The taxi took Jeremiah to the motorcycle shop which was eighteen minutes away from Maple Hotel and parked on the opposite side of the street.Jeremiah came out and walked to the driver’s side door. He paid the fare the same way he paid last night’s fare— by Apple Pay— and he returned his phone to his pocket.“Tell them, Mark, the taxi driver sent you and they should hook you up with a really good deal,” the driver said. “Thanks. I’ll do that” Jeremiah replied as he crossed the street while the taxi drove away. Since he could hear extremely well, he didn’t need to look at incoming traffic to know when it was safe to walk past the street. Because of that, the people who saw him thought he was being careless.If only they knew the truth.Jeremiah got to the front of the shop and looked at the name on the sign.“Light speed engines” he read and chuckled at how nice the name was.Hoping to get a wonderful motorcycle from them, Jeremiah walked into the shop and saw all the beautiful moto

Both of them entered the office and did all the paperwork to turn Jeremiah into the owner of a new motorcycle and after a couple of minutes, they were done.“It was nice doing business with you, sir” the sales rep shook Jeremiah’s hand over the desk. “Thank you” Jeremiah smirked. “Shall we go get your motorcycle?” The sales rep asked and Jeremiah nodded.Both of them stood up, left the office, and went to where the motorcycle was.Jeremiah got on it, wore the helmet, and drove out of the shop. For safety reasons, the motorcycle only had a small amount of fuel in the tank so Jeremiah had to make a stop at the gas station before continuing his tasks for the day. He filled the tank to the max and then went to his next destination which was looking for a house like he promised Mary he would a couple of weeks ago. After telling his father a couple of weeks ago that he would be returning to Bakers View, Jeremiah was informed that their family owned an estate in the city with many beaut

The sound of a loud horn blared, drawing Jeremiah and the older security officer’s attention to the car that made it and they saw a black BMW Jeep. “She’s here,” the older security officer said, a look of surprise on his face.Jeremiah, who just realized that the driver of the black BMW Jeep was the housing agent he had called— thanks to what he heard the older security officer say—groaned. He got a good look at the woman and thought that she was nice-looking and on the older side, which wasn’t what he expected because she had a youthful voice over the phone.“I guess you were telling the truth,” the older security officer said. Jeremiah looked at the man in uniform and with a cocky smile replied “What? You thought I was lying to you earlier?”“My apologies. I was only doing my job. You can never be too careful about these things” The older security officer lowered his head slightly as he apologized. “It’s fine. I too would have done the same. Anyway…” Jeremiah looked at the Jeep
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 256
As Jeremiah and Page drove through the estate, Jeremiah got the opportunity to have a good look at the houses and it would have been an understatement to say that he was impressed by what he saw. He expected nothing less from an estate owned by his family. Very soon, he saw Page’s jeep’s taillight indicating that she was about to go left. Seeing as how there was no junction or intersection in sight, Jeremiah realized that she was about to park.Jeremiah did the same. He turned on his motorcycle’s left blinker and followed Page to park in front of a massive house that was surrounded by a fence— just like all the other houses in the estate.Security was a pivotal part of the estate’s appeal, so every house in it had a gated fence that acted as a second layer of security in case someone managed to go through Desmond and his partner at the entrance gate.That, however, had never happened since the creation of the estate, but it didn’t hurt to be cautious.Page turned off her car’s engin

A couple of days later—on Friday—Jeremiah, having just finished his training for the day, during which he made several breakthroughs and worked up a sweat, went to his room to freshen up.Once there, he picked up his phone from the table and called Obadiah’s number.“It’s been multiple days since we last spoke and the funeral is tomorrow so he should be on his way to Bakers View by now” Jeremiah monologued as he waited for the shaman to answer his call. Normally, in a sensitive situation like this, Jeremiah would have used the relic to reach out to Obadiah. However, thinking that the shaman was already on his way to Bakers View, Jeremiah wasn’t sure if he had blended in with the public and was in a place where he couldn’t use the relic—which created a visible hologram of the caller. So, he opted for a phone call instead.Unfortunately, after waiting through the ringing of Obadiah’s phone, the call terminated without being answered. Jeremiah grimaced.“Let me try again,” he said then
CHAPTER 308
“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. Gre
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
