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
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 263
With his heightened sense of perception, Jeremiah saw all the attackers coming at him in slow motion and exhaled as he got ready to deal with them. He didn’t even bother using magic to handle the situation, thinking of it as overkill for regular humans like them, so he stuck to his fists. He also limited how powerful his attacks were because one strike from him at full power was nothing short of a death sentence to every human in existence. As a matter of fact, a strike from half his strength was enough to kill and that gap was expected to increase the more time passed because with every second that went by the closer he got to regaining his full power from the ring around his finger. Jeremiah treated the twenty goons like how an adult would treat toddlers, using as little strength as possible to subdue them and using their own attack momentum against them. One after the other, he dropped them to the ground, breaking her arms and legs in the process so they couldn’t get up to atta
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 264
Jeremiah deactivated the anchoring spell and after checking that all the goons had been taken care of, he looked at Charles whose weird noises drew his attention. His attention was then drawn to what Charles focused on which was some strange looking item in his hand and he grimaced with intrigue. ‘That looks like something that’s made of magic’ Jeremiah thought then he used his senses, which was able to tell the difference between magical items and normal items— just like he did at the welcome ceremony— and he groaned.‘It is a magical item’ Jeremiah thought.Wondering what Charles was trying to do with the item because of the way he was handling it, Jeremiah walked towards where Charles and Eric were standing.“Umm, boss” Eric tapped Charles, who had been so focused on trying to get the item in his hand to work he had stopped paying attention to Jeremiah. “Huh?” Charles said, snapping out of his deep focus and was shocked when he saw Jeremiah walking towards him.Immediately, fea
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 265
Charles had known about the fact that a magical item explodes when destroyed because the merchant who he had bought it from told him— more accurately, advised him so he doesn’t foolishly kill himself by messing with the relic. Thinking that Jeremiah didn’t have the knowledge he did, Charles warned Jeremiah about the dangers of destroying the relic when he saw Jeremiah tighten his grip around it.He had witnessed how strong Jeremiah was and had a feeling that although it wasn’t humanly possible, Jeremiah might try and able to destroy the relic by crushing it in his hand— an idea implanted in his mind when he saw Jeremiah tighten his grip on the item. Even if Jeremiah couldn’t crush the relic with his hand, what’s to say he wouldn’t throw it on the ground and try to crush it with his foot? After all, the words Jeremiah said before and right after taking the relic from Charles sounded like that was his intention.It was clear Jeremiah wanted to do something to the relic to stop it from

CHAPTER 321
Just like with Daniel back at the house a couple of days ago, Jeremiah told Victoria all about his family and she got increasingly shocked the more information he conveyed. And just like with Daniel, he omitted anything that had to do with the fact that he was not from this world but a Dragon that reincarnated.With her eyes widened, Victoria just sat there, having no idea she had been quiet for a full thirty seconds since Jeremiah stopped talking. “Aren’t you going to say anything?” He asked, snapping Victoria back to her senses.“I’m sorry, I was just taken aback for a moment but I’m fine now. I can’t believe I’m sitting at the same table and having a date with the future king of Crimson Fall. This is insane” she said, unsure whether she should smile or be nervous, but leaning towards nervousness. Jeremiah chuckled.“You don’t have to be nervous around me, you know that right? It’s not like I changed into an all-new person. I’m still the same Jeremiah who you used to get coffee fr
CHAPTER 320
The dining hall was themed like the ocean and with the blue ambiance of the entire room, Victoria’s red dress popped and became the center of attention.All four walls of the dining hall had transformed into a display of the deep blue sea, showcasing different fish life like a big aquarium. Just like the cold they had felt when the elevator changed into a space-themed interior, the dining hall had a salty and fresh smell to it that made the whole thing more believable.Like that wasn’t crazy enough, swimming through the open space of the dining hall were holographic fishes and the beautiful in design perfect in scale. "Jeremiah, look at that!" Victoria said as she pointed at one of the holographic fishes that was her favorite aquatic life.Jeremiah grimaced, looking impressed by the fish which was one he had never seen before."Wow, this is amazing!" Victoria smiled, completely mesmerized by the showcase and before she could feed her eyes to her heart's content, Presley spoke out."Y
CHAPTER 319
“It hasn’t been designed yet? Y’all made it seem like something so grand when it hasn’t been designed yet? Is this some kind of sick joke or something?” Presley looked at him with surprise.“Oh, Mister Wellings didn’t tell you about this? I’m terribly sorry, sir. Since you took his place to be here, I thought you would have been informed about the workings of the dining hall but you weren’t. It’s my fault for not being proactive enough and asking what you knew before taking you here because it looks like we’re up to no good” Presley said. “The workings of the dining hall? What does that mean?” Jeremiah asked, managing his annoyance.“Well, Chandler over there is an architect as you heard me say before and the walls of this room, just like the elevator and the passage we just walked through are lined with resonance crystals, although these ones are stronger”Jeremiah grimaced. “Resonance crystals? What are you talking about?” Victoria asked. “Well, madam, resonance Crystals are a s
CHAPTER 318
Jeremiah and Victoria looked all around the place and just like the elevator, the Emperor floor was also themed like the solar system but because of the size, it felt like they were in the vastness of space.Again, Jeremiah found it intriguing that he was just thinking about his father’s planetarium and space then all of a sudden everything changed to match that like it was some kind of magic. "Thank you," Jeremiah said then looked at the two hosts individually and asked, "So which one of you should I address from now on, or is it going to be both of you?""That would be me, sir. My name is Presley Montgomery and I'll be your host for the evening" the male host said with a hand on his chest as he bowed in respect.“The Emperor floor offers two hosts and leaves it to the guests to choose who they want to be catered by. Typically a man goes with a man and a woman goes with a woman but the option to pick it’s still there, so if you want to pick my colleague, Annabelle Grimes, then that
CHAPTER 317
“Are you ready to go up?” Jeremiah asked Victoria. Feeling a bit nervous because she wasn’t sure of what was going to happen next, she moved in closer to Jeremiah and nodded.“Yes, I’m ready” she replied.“Alright,” Jeremiah said then focused on the buttons there.To indicate how increasingly luxurious the floors became the higher up you go, the elevator buttons were used to showcase that. Each floor had unique and beautiful buttons assigned to it in the already alluring and stylized gold-plated panel.There was one specific button out of all the rest that looked like it was the most important button. As such, that button was the highest one in the lineup with a notable gap between it and the ones directly underneath.That meant that the level of luxury afforded between the room that that button led to and the one under it were day and night apart which could only mean one thing.“The Emperor floor,” Jeremiah said the moment he identified the button and wasted no time pressing it.Th
CHAPTER 316
“No, Master Jeremiah didn’t lose to me” Wellings replied and Victoria grimaced in surprise.“Wait, then does that mean you lost against him?” She said, shocked.She couldn’t fathom how someone like Wellings could lose to Jeremiah in an auction when auctions are won based on money.Was Welling’s saying that Jeremiah was richer than him? But that’s not possible, right?Wellings chuckled.“Not at all” he replied and that didn’t help to clear Victoria on what had happened.“So was it someone else? Did you two lose to another bidder?” She asked, trying her best to understand.“I did, but not Master Jeremiah” Wellings answered.Victoria tilted her head as she asked “What does that mean?”“Let me put it like this. I won something and lost some in that auction, but Master Jeremiah on the other hand only bided for one item which he won”Victoria furrowed her eyebrows.“Jeremiah beat the other bidders for the item? Is that what you’re trying to say”She wasn’t trying to belittle Jeremiah with h
CHAPTER 315
“I suppose you’ve noticed that this building isn’t what it used to be a year ago,” Wellings said and Jeremiah grimaced.Since Jeremiah had been poor for most of his life which only changed less than a month ago, he didn’t know that much about high-end restaurants like The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant or any other one out there.The only reason he did was that Mary used to nag him about going to one every anniversary they had since they started dating, each time growing increasingly frustrated when he said he couldn’t take her because of his mother’s health issues and other responsibilities that needed the money.Her nagging only stopped after they got married and Jeremiah noticed that she hadn’t said anything about spending their anniversary as a dinner date in The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant.Jeremiah had just thought that she had finally understood his financial challenges and had decided to not bother him about something he couldn’t afford. Little did he know that she was
CHAPTER 314
At the moment, Jeremiah was very suspicious of Wellings because of Grey, who had also known his identity even though he hadn’t been the one who told either of them. Now, the question was whether Wellings was another member of Dark Emblem, because if he was then things wouldn’t go well for him. After how angry Grey had made Jeremiah during their last encounter, any member of Dark Emblem who Jeremiah came across would pay the price for the things that happened. Still, Jeremiah gave Wellings the benefit of the doubt, having a feeling that he wasn’t a member of Dark Emblem because of one complex reason; the fact that Wellings was tricked by Grey’s illusion spell and had communicated with Martha in the auction house. Now, Wellings could have been pretending that she was real, just like Grey was. But, the way their interaction was very hostile proved that he wasn’t playing any tricks. Why argue with someone he knew was an illusion and risk escalating the situation to a point that might
CHAPTER 313
Jeremiah and Victoria walked into the Reyal Darling Gourmet Restaurant and were immediately greeted by the spectacular ambiance and marvelous interior designs. The air smelled and tasted like something from the past, having a welcoming feeling about it that dropped the guard of each individual person who was enveloped by it.It was like walking into a different realm that prided itself in providing the best luxury and comfort possible and this was just the entrance. How heightened would those feelings be in the main dining?The small number of staff members Jeremiah and Victoria had seen all seemed professional in their respective roles and everything came together like a well-oiled machine. “Welcome, sir. Please enjoy your time at The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant” greeted the staff who was on Jeremiah’s side of the entrance while the staff by Victoria’s side greeted her too.The beautiful nurse couldn’t help but smile as she had never experienced such excitement before. She cou
