The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 255
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

Jeremiah went straight for his bedroom where he collected his thoughts, coming up with things he needed now that he had returned to Bakers View. Then, after making a mental list of everything, he left the house, went outside the fence where his motorcycle was still parked, got on it, and drove into town. His first stop for the day was getting clothes for his massive closet, so he drove all the way to the one clothing store he both had experience with and liked how their clothes were. He went to The High Fashion Emporium. He parked in front of the store, got off the motorcycle, and walked towards the entrance. The last time he was there, the convoy of luxurious cars he arrived in drew a lot of unwanted attention from bystanders, and the entourage of security guards that surrounded him and Kingston as they exited the cars didn’t help. Now, with just him and his motorcycle arriving at the store and walking through the entrance, nobody paid him any attention. He was basically inv
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 258
“Good morning, Kingston. I’m at the High Fashion Emporium, the clothing store we went to the day we traveled home to meet my father” Jeremiah said.[“Oh! Page had told me not long ago that you just moved into the Grand Blue estate, so I guess you’re already preparing to fill your closet”] Kingston had told Jeremiah to take the clothes he was given in the castle back to Bakers View so he wouldn’t have to waste time doing a shopping run. However, Jeremiah refused to do so because he didn’t want anything that would remind him of who he was. After all, he was trying his best to distance himself from his past as Lord Crimson—until his memories of the past finally returned.“That’s right,” Jeremiah replied. Kingston took a deep breath and sighed. [“So what can I help you with, young master?”] said Kingston, who knew that Jeremiah was only calling to ask for assistance, which he had no problem with as he was always ready and happy to serve. “Do you remember that I was given a special acc

[“You better go on your knees and start begging for forgiveness if you know what’s good for you. That guy is someone you wouldn’t want to mess with on a good day, let alone a bad one and I’m not going to stick my neck out for you and beg him to show mercy because the last time I did that for that idiot Bruce who disrespected him almost as badly as you did, I almost got my fingers broken”]Scared after what he had just heard, Lucy’s legs started to tremble more violently and almost gave out. She couldn’t believe the mess she had just put herself in. If only she had believed Jeremiah when he told her he was an Ultra VIP member of the store, she would have been able to go her own way, safe from any punishment, especially one as terrible as broken fingers. What can she do now? Beg? Would that even work?Every worker in the store, who knew what happened a couple of weeks ago, still thought Jeremiah was some kind of underground crime lord and everything the manager told her over the phon

Jeremiah drove all the way to a little fast food joint not so far from the High Fashion Emporium. It was a place he had heard about when it was first opened but hadn’t really gone to because it was in the expensive part of town.Now that he was there and could afford to eat what he wanted, he used the opportunity to quench his cravings.Jeremiah parked in front of the restaurant and went in.He had seen videos and pictures online of the restaurant from food review content creators, so he was quite familiar with the look of the place even though he had never been there before until that moment.Jeremiah walked to the counter and ordered what he wanted to eat. The lady there was very nice and welcoming, just like the review said, then he waited a few and was given what he ordered.The look was amazing but the smell was something else, especially with his heightened sense of smell. Jeremiah hadn’t even eaten yet and he was already salivating.“Please enjoy,” the lady at the counter said.

“A trap,” Jeremiah said after observing the situation he was in.He shifted his gaze between everyone there and then he locked his eyes on Eric.“So this was your plan from the very beginning. Pretend to be an innocent kid who bumped into me and while I’m distracted trying to see if you’re okay, you steal my wallet from under my nose. After that, you create some distance between each other and wait long enough until I notice what you did, knowing that I would chase after you to get the wallet back. Looking back at it now, I thought it made no sense why you didn’t disappear after stealing the wallet— like all other pocket pickers do so that they don’t risk getting caught when the victim finally realized what had happened. But not you. You wanted to get caught because your actual goal was to lure me here to whatever this is” Jeremiah said.Eric smirked.“Wow, you sure do talk a lot. Everything could have happened a lot quicker but you had to talk and talk and talk, trying to help me lik

“My name is Charles Ludwig and your time to pay for what you did to my father and younger brother has come” Charles threatened.Jeremiah was silent for a moment as he pondered his next words then he groaned when he got them. “So your father and brother told you what happened back in Crimson Fall. Did they also tell you just how dumb what you’re trying to do is? You do know who I am, right?” He asked.Charles chuckled cockily and then replied:“If you’re asking me if I know that you’re that man’s son then the answer is yes. I know exactly who you are and you can thank my father for that. My younger brother, Paul was just as shocked as I was when we both found out and he didn’t want to believe it at first but then he thought about it and realized how the pieces fit together”Jeremiah smirked when a thought came to his mind.“That guy, huh? Why don’t you just say the name—?” Jeremiah asked but then froze and widened his eyes as he looked at the goons around Charles “So that’s why. You d

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
CHAPTER 299
Reliving his memories of the auction, Jeremiah started to notice some strange inconsistencies with them like a veil was being lifted off his mind. To be specific, his memories of Andrews and Martha took on a different and clearer light and he realized the truth which was that there was nobody like Martha in the entire auction. However, that didn’t make sense because not only him but the auctioneer and everyone else in the auction house interacted with her so what was going on?Jeremiah was confused and the more his memories of the auction cleared, the more he understood until finally he realized what happened— Martha was never real and was created by an illusion spell to trick not just him but everyone else in the auction. Just as he figured that out and the false memories were cleared off his mind, leaving only the real one, Jeremiah realized that he had figured out the truth before but back when he did, something— the veil as he termed it— covered his mind and made him forget unt
CHAPTER 298
All the salespeople who saw Jeremiah walk past them greeted him because they remembered seeing him go to the auction area with the manager earlier. Then not king after, Jeremiah made it out of the store. He walked over to his motorcycle and got on. However, instead of driving away, he first called Daniel to let him know that he had gotten the ring.He took out his phone from his pocket, woke the screen, and to his surprise he had two missed calls from Daniel that came during the auction.“That’s right, I put my phone on silent mode when I entered the auction house so as not to cause any distractions,” Jeremiah said to himself.The manager had been the one who asked him if his phone was on silent mode and told him to put it on when they entered the auction area. It was a rule of the auction house that all phones were either switched off or on silent mode so they didn’t make noise.Jeremiah quickly deactivated his phone’s silent mode and called Daniel.After ringing for a few seconds,
CHAPTER 297
“Thank you all for coming. We promise to get even better items and invite you guys for an even better experience in the near future. As for those who won the auctioned items, your items will be ready for you when you leave so be sure to get them on your way out.” The auctioneer took a deep breath and sighed— happy with the turnout of the day’s auction as it was the most successful one he had ever hosted.“I have been Evans Nelson, your auctioneer for today and I’ll be seeing you guys really soon,” The auctioneer said, bowed in respect, and walked away while the bidders clapped for him.Since they had accomplished their purpose for being there, everyone started getting up from their seats but instead of leaving like they normally would, they hung around. They talked to each other, discussing the experience they had with that particular auction, while their eyes were discretely on Jeremiah, waiting for the perfect moment to talk to him. They had been planning their approach ever since
CHAPTER 296
“Two hundred million dollars!” Andrew’s words echoed through the entire auction house. “Wow,” the auctioneer said, a strong look of amazement adorned on his face “To think that I wouldn’t even get the chance to call the starting price before it got pushed to such an insane amount. Looks like I can always count on you, Master Andrews, to make this auction very interesting.” Though everyone was annoyed by Andrews's offer, the auctioneer was elated. Since the price had been made to start at two hundred million dollars and he was to get five percent of that, his ten million dollars was already set.Ten million dollars, however, wasn’t enough for the auctioneer. He was greedy— wanting more money—and for that, he had to see if the other bidders were willing to up the price. Martha had said earlier that none of the other bidders should bother bidding when Andrews had taken interest in any of the items being auctioned because he was always going to outbid them and that pissed the auctionee
