The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 26
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 Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 27
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

A couple of minutes later, the jet landed in the hangar and the trio, Jeremiah, Kingston, and his personal guard, Steven, went down. A security detail and a convoy far greater than the one that had picked Jeremiah from his apartment had already been waiting for their arrival.Everyone in the convoy greeted Kingston and when they were informed of who Jeremiah was, they went on their knees and did the usual greeting which Jeremiah accepted, and then told them to stand up.After that, they all entered the cars and drove away. The moment they got to the main roads and drove through populated areas, Jeremiah noticed that the people who saw the convoy all had happy expressions on their faces as they waved at the convoy. It was like they recognized the convoy, and who it belonged to, and were happy to see it pass by.That sight made Jeremiah realize how loved his family must be to garner such reactions, because even the president of a country wouldn’t get such a magnanimous amount of love

Elizabeth took Jeremiah upstairs.“Your room, young master,” Elizabeth said as she opened the door to Jeremiah’s room, and when he saw the inside, his eyes widened so much that they almost came out of their sockets. Jeremiah walked in first, then she followed, leaving the door open while Jeremiah looked in awe at how wonderful the room was. “This is only a temporary arrangement. If I had been informed before your arrival, I would have pulled out all the stops to make sure you got an even bigger and better room, but please manage this young master,” Elizabeth said, and Jeremiah looked at her with shock.“What is it, young master?” She asked.Jeremiah chuckled.“If you knew where I am coming from, you wouldn’t have said what you just did. This room is amazing” Jeremiah said, and the headmaid blushed. “By the way, my name is Jeremiah. If you’re going to keep calling me Young Master, then you should at least know my actual name too,” Jeremiah said, as he walked deeper into the room to

Inside the laundry room where Lynette was busy steaming the suit she was given to prepare for Jeremiah’s meeting with his father, a bunch of maids came in and approached her. There were four of them, and they all looked relieved like they had been searching for her.“Is it true?” One of the maids asked.“Is what true?” Lynette replied, not taking a second’s break to give the maids around her attention as her focus remained on the task she was given.“You know what we’re talking about. That’s stuff. Is that stuff true?” The second maid asked.Lynette groaned in confusion.“I honestly have no idea what any of you guys are talking about, so unless you go ahead and spit it out, I’m going to remain clueless” Lynette retorted.“Come on, Lynette. Don’t start playing dumb with us now. We really want to know” said one of the maids as she grabbed Lynette’s hand that held the steamer.Because Lynette couldn’t continue steaming the suit thanks to the maid who held her hand, she finally stopped w

“Of course, headmaid. I assure you that I’ll be done very soon” Lynette said as she resumed steaming the suit. “Okay,” Elizabeth replied, then she looked at Lynette from head to toe for a few seconds, observing the girl closely, and then she helped fix her hair behind her ear. “Head maid?” Lynette said, surprised by the older woman’s sudden physical contact.“You’re a very beautiful girl. You know that, don’t you?” Elizabeth said, and Lynnette thanked her for the compliment.“I think the young master has taken a liking to you,” Elizabeth said, and Lynette jolted.“He what?” She said hurriedly as she turned to the head maid. Elizabeth smiled after seeing the young maid’s reaction, then she took her hands behind her back and clasped them.“Looks like hearing that makes you happy,” Elizabeth said, and Lynette blushed. “I apologize for what I’m about to say, headmaid, but what girl wouldn’t be happy to hear that someone like the young master has taken an interest in them?” Lynette ask

“About that,” Jeremiah said, and the nurse groaned. [“What is it, mister Jeremiah?”] “The thing is that I’m very busy with a certain task I’m handling right now, and I don’t have the chance to go to the hospital like I promised just yet,” Jeremiah said. [“Hmm, and how long are you thinking of taking before you come?”] “Honestly, I don’t know for now. Just know that if the moment when I’m chanced ever comes up, I’ll be there to do what I said I would,” Jeremiah replied. [“Mister Jeremiah, I hope you know that with each day you delay this, the more money you’ll have to spend to keep your mother’s body here, and I remember hearing you on multiple occasions complain about how money is an issue for you. What’s your wife’s opinion on this? As a matter of fact, isn’t she available to come get her in your stead?”] “Mary and I are no longer together, so like I said, I don’t have anyone to get my mom’s body from the hospital for me. Even if I did, I want to be the one who does it,

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
