The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 267
That was the first time since hearing about his mother’s passing that Jeremiah was seeing her.He was too distraught and heartbroken by the news of her death that he hadn’t even gone to see her body the day the unfortunate incident took place— also known as the worst day of his life.Knowing that he was finally going to see the corpse after weeks of shoving it into the back of his mind, Jeremiah had been gathering the confidence and strong mindset for that very moment.However, the sight of his mother, who he loved more than anything in the world, lying cold and lifeless on the morgue’s storage slide table caused tears to run down his eyes.He couldn’t believe that she was actually gone. Nurse Victoria, seeing the droplets of tears that landed on the sliding table the corpse was on, looked at Jeremiah with pity. She placed her hand on his shoulder and with a reassuring voice, said “Don’t worry, Jeremiah. She’s found peace and will be happy with the growth you’ve made since she last
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 268
The name of the clothing store was Sunray’s Delight and the focus was entirely on women’s clothing which was exactly what he wanted. Jeremiah parked in the front of the store and looked at the sign.He groaned, wondering why the name of the store seemed so familiar— like someone he knew had told him about it before that day. The issue was that he was having a hard time remembering who it was because it either had been a while since he was told about the store or he wasn’t paying much attention when they did.“Whatever” Jeremiah shrugged and got off the motorcycle.If he didn’t remember who told him about the store then it meant that the person and the store weren’t that important.He headed to the store’s entrance, but just as he walked three feet away from his motorcycle, some guy stopped him and asked if he could take a picture with his motorcycle.Jeremiah, who was apprehensive of strangers because of what happened with Eric and Charles looked a little skeptical about interacting

Jeremiah groaned in annoyance as Elizabeth was the last person he wanted to see on his trip to a store to get clothes for his late mother’s funeral.‘That’s why the name of this shore sounded so familiar. Mary had told me that Elizabeth worked here some years ago’ Jeremiah thought as he kept staring at the angry saleswoman. “Did you suddenly lose the ability to speak or are you trying to ignore my question?” Elizabeth frowned. Jeremiah exhaled exasperatedly. “If you want to know the answer to that question then maybe you should ask your cousin and not me. I don’t have time for your problems today” Jeremiah said then turned around and was going to walk away. Elizabeth jolted, shocked by Jeremiah’s audacity to think that he could walk away from her without answering her question.The Jeremiah she was used to was a sniveling coward who did everything he could to make his wife happy which included putting up with her and all her family members' bullshit, even at the detriment of his p

Jeremiah looked at everyone around him, seeing their judgmental faces which matched everything they had been saying about him and he glared at Elizabeth who was the cause of it all. Elizabeth was extremely proud of herself and being able to turn everyone against him. For no justifiable reason, Jeremiah always managed to make her sick to her stomach so getting others to feel the same way she did about him was an achievement in her terrible and mundane life.“What’s going on here?” Jeremiah and everyone heard from behind him and they all turned to look at the person who just spoke.“It’s great that you’re here, madam Deborah,” Elizabeth said, staring past Jeremiah and looking at the woman behind him.“Is that so? Someone should explain what the hell going on here then. Why is the store in such a state?” Deborah said. “This bastard over here came to steal from us and I was just about to call the security to come throw him out like the trash he is,” Elizabeth said, making Deborah shift

“Jeremiah paid two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to a mortician before coming here? Huh?” Elizabeth looked at Jeremiah and was dumbfounded. Wasn’t this the same poor and decrepit Jeremiah who couldn’t take her cousin, Mary, on a worthwhile honeymoon because he didn’t have the money? He was so how on earth did he get a quarter of a million dollars to pay for his mother’s body to be prepared for her funeral? Elizabeth felt like she had woken up in an alternate reality where things weren’t how they were supposed to be and she couldn’t accept it.“I’m sorry madam Deborah but I feel like you’re mistaken. I know that guy very well and he definitely couldn’t have done what you said he did” Elizabeth said, smiling nervously. “Are you calling me a liar?” Deborah frowned and Elizabeth jolted. Her eyes also widened, afraid that she had just insulted her boss.“Of course not, madam Deborah. I definitely did not do that” Elizabeth shook her head vigorously. “It’s just that I can’t accept
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 272
“What?” Elizabeth asked, her face smeared with confusion.She couldn’t understand why Deborah was insulting her. ‘Am I misunderstanding something? Shouldn’t the insults be hurled at Jeremiah? It should so what the hell was going on here?’ She asked herself but saw that Deborah’s anger and frustration were aimed at her.“W-what did I do, madam?” Elizabeth asked, stuttering every syllable. “I just spoke to Emmanuella Justice and she confirmed that she knows Jeremiah personally. According to her, he is a very nice person and she had such a positive attitude towards him that she told me to give him the best treatment possible. She also said that he didn’t just pay for her mortician services but he paid for the express package. Do you know how much her express package is worth?” Elizabeth gulped.Everyone else in the aisle, who was extremely shocked by what Deborah had just said, was intrigued to know the price of Emmanuella Justice’s express package. “No, madam. How much is it?“ Eliza
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 273
People like Deborah were next to impossible to receive forgiveness from once someone got on their bad side because they usually tolerate a lot and are very slow to anger.“I truly am sorry, madam Deborah. This is the only good-paying job I can get with my qualifications so my life will essentially be over if you fire me. I’ve been working here for years, giving my life and energy to make sure the customers are satisfied so please don’t throw me away because of a single incident. I swear it will never happen again” Elizabeth begged desperately.Deborah, who still wasn’t pleased, scoffed.“Instead of begging me, you should be apologizing to Jeremiah for your blatant disrespect. You made him look like a terrible person in front of all these people and me, so the least you could do is beg him for forgiveness but you haven’t which shows you aren’t sorry about what you—“ Deborah said but Elizabeth cut her off.“No, that isn’t the case madam! Of course, I’m sorry for what I did to him. It’s
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 274
From what she had heard when she forced her way into Jeremiah’s conversation with Susan and even when he was about to leave when he mentioned Emmanuella Justice’s name, Jeremiah had said that he was there to buy a single dress for his mother’s corpse. The most expensive dress they had on sale was worth seventy thousand dollars, which was roughly Elizabeth’s annual salary as a salesperson. So, would Deborah really choose seventy thousand dollars over her, a salesperson with years of experience and relationship with the customers? It wouldn’t make any sense to do that so things might be in her favor. Elizabeth thought and started to grin internally. Since Jeremiah wasn’t her in-law anymore, their relationship had been terminated, meaning she couldn’t benefit from his newly found wealth so there was nothing for her to gain if Jeremiah was chosen over her. As such, she prefer if he left and died somewhere with all his money. Just then, the other customers in the store started to murm

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

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
