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

“How does it look?” Deborah asked, holding the dress in her hands and showing it to Jeremiah. “Hmm” Jeremiah groaned, his hand on his chin as he assessed the dress— trying to imagine his mother’s body in it and wondering if it would look good on her Jeremiah had a really great poker face, so looking at him Deborah wasn’t sure if he liked the dress or not and was worried that he didn’t because of what happened with Elizabeth.Was it that he didn’t like the dress because of how it looked or had the incident with Elizabeth soiled his mood to the point that nothing she showed him would suffice? In that case, all she had done to appease Jeremiah might have been wasted if his mood still hadn’t improved.Deborah just hoped she was reading too much into things and Jeremiah was just trying to decide on his impression of the dress.“Can I hold it and see?” Jeremiah asked and Deborah nodded.She handed him the dress and continued to wait for a positive look from Jeremiah after being in her own

Jeremiah drove to Emmanuella’s funeral home and parked in front. He got off the motorcycle and walked to the building with the bag from Sun-ray’s Delight clothing store in his hand. By the entrance was Dave, the elderly man who had followed him to the hospital to get his mother’s corpse, waiting to welcome him. “You’ve come back and with what I assume is the dress for your mother’s corpse” Dave said, looking at the bag in Jeremiah’s hand. “Yes, it is” Jeremiah replied as he raised the bag and stopped by the entrance. “The Gustav Bulmane Fox dress, just as Emmanuella suggested. So, where is she?” “If you’re asking about the boss then she’s in her office, working on the corpse as promised” Dave said, using his expression to ask Jeremiah if he wanted to go in and see Emmanuella or he was just there to deliver the dress and head back home. Jeremiah’s eyes widened a bit. “Oh. I didn’t think she was going to start working on the corpse immediately I paid for the express servi

The phone rang a few times and then stopped when nobody answered.Jeremiah groaned with dissatisfaction as he stared at the phone screen.“This fool who’s always with his phone suddenly isn’t answering now that I’m the one calling. I wonder what he’s doing that’s keeping him from answering” Jeremiah said.He contemplated calling again but decided against it because if Daniel was anywhere near his phone then he would have answered it when he first called but he didn’t.“Whatever. I’ll just call him tomorrow when I’m sure he will be his—“ Jeremiah said but was interrupted when his phone rang.“This motherfucker” Jeremiah chuckled as he stared at Daniel’s caller ID.He answered the call and then pressed the phone to his ear.[“Where the hell have you been, huh you fool?! I tried reaching out after that stuff we talked about on the night of your one-year wedding anniversary but no answer. Then I went to your place to check up on you and I was told that you’ve been kicked out for attacking
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 278
Jeremiah and Daniel did what they used to do when they hung out and talked for hours on end about different things.Jeremiah prepared a crate of bears for their enjoyment, and put on a game on the television for them to watch while talking and everything was perfect for their little reunion.Daniel was Jeremiah’s best friend so after talking about different things, he steered the conversation into telling him everything that happened after they last spoke on the night of his one year wedding anniversary. Things like how he had caught Mary cheating on him when he went to Ludwig Resort after his call with Daniel, how the person she cheated with was Paul Ludwig, how Mary told him that she wanted a divorce, and how Paul beat him up and then sent the security to throw him out.Jeremiah also told Daniel about what happened that caused the people of his former apartment to say he beat them up. He told Daniel what the landlord and the other tenants did and how Silver, an unknown military woma

“What? You don’t want to be my best man or something?” He asked.“No, that’s not it”“Then what is it? Replying “Fuck” with such a tone and look after I gave you such wonderful news doesn’t seem very appropriate if you ask me,” Daniel said.Jeremiah smacked his tongue exasperatedly.“There, you’ve done it again. What’s the matter with you?” Daniel asked, gradually getting annoyed by Jeremiah’s response to the news. “I was going to let it go but you just had to go and make me your best man. Now it looks like I have no choice but to get involved”“What the hell are you talking about talking about? You have no choice but to get involved in what?” Daniel grimaced.“Your family ring. I’m left with no choice but to help you get it”“Huh?” Daniel’s eyes widened. “What do you mean help me get it?” “Exactly what I said. I’ll find it for you, wherever it is, and it’s going to be the ring you engage Rachael with, just as was intended by your ancestors” Daniel almost fell out of his chair afte

A few minutes later, Jeremiah came to a stop in front of the Jewelry Store which to his surprise looked very busy with all the cars he saw parked in front. However, that wasn’t his concern so he ignored all of them and headed to the entrance of the jewelry store. He grabbed the door, read the sign which said push to open and he pushed with a good amount of strength but to his surprise, the door didn’t budge. Because he had expected the door to open when he pushed, Jeremiah had also stepped forward but since the door didn’t open as anticipated, he almost bumped into it and would have if not thanks to his quick reflexes. “What the hell? It’s locked? I thought it was supposed to be open by this time?” Jeremiah grimaced with annoyance. He tried pushing the door again but it didn’t open then he looked at the sign on the door and saw that he was pushing the door in the right direction which only meant that the door was locked.Jeremiah groaned in annoyance and let go of the handle. He

The auctioneer opened the box fully and everyone saw what had been inside the whole time.“It’s a… plastic eyeball? Huh?” The auctioneer said, acting and sounding surprised as he looked at the content of the box twice to make sure he hadn’t made a mistake. ‘Why is a plastic eyeball in here?’ The auctioneer thought.Just then, a commotion erupted as the bidders complained, letting their frustrations and anger known. “A plastic eye? What the hell?” One of the bidders said.“Is this some kind of joke? We waited through all that bullshit just for a fucking plastic eyeball?! Do we look like children or something?” Another bidder complained. “Is that what we are expected to pay ten million dollars for? A stinking plastic eyeball?! Since when did this auction start doing comedy shows between the presentations?”“Whosever idea this is better get fired for pissing us off ‘cause what the actual fuck?! In fact, bring them out here so I can give them a piece of my mind!”The auctioneer panicke
CHAPTER 293
The auctioneer wasted no time to open the box but when he tried to do it, he realized that he couldn’t.“What the?” He asked himself, grimacing with confusion. “Maybe I didn’t do it right. Let me try again” He tried to open the box again but like before the lid wouldn’t budge and the auctioneer started to get annoyed.“What’s going on here? Didn’t they say that it wasn’t going to be locked so why can’t I open it?” He complained in a low voice, making sure the microphone attached to his ear couldn’t pick up what he was saying, then he looked at the bidders who were starting to have concerned expressions.The auctioneer could see the bidders' already minimal interest in the mystery item gradually vanish, which lit a spark in him to fix the situation as quickly as possible.“Hey,” the auctioneer turned his head to the left and called to the staff who had given him the box. “Yes, sir?” The staff shifted closer to the auctioneer."I remember vividly being told that the freaking box would
CHAPTER 292
Jeremiah had his hand on his chin.He focused on what was under the cloth and tried using his heightened senses to see if he could figure out anything about it besides the fact that it was a box. With his hearing, which was greater than a bat’s, Jeremiah had what could only be described as radar— the type used in science fiction movies to know exactly what something was just by sound alone.“Huh?” Jeremiah said after he had tried using his radar as best as he could but realized that it wasn’t working.Well, not that it wasn’t working as he could picture everything else in the area that wasn’t in his field of vision with the radar but the item underneath the cloth that was to be auctioned was undeterminable.‘What’s this? Why can’t my senses pick up anything?’ Jeremiah asked himself, finding it very strange.He focused even harder, using the fullest range of his radar, which allowed him to have what could only be called omniscience as he could perceive everything in the room, but stil

“For the next item, I have to inform everyone that there’s a little treat or should I say catch to it as that’s the correct term to use here,” The auctioneer said and the other bidders groaned in confusion as complaints flew everywhereUsually, all the rules are given at the start of the auction so why was the auctioneer trying to bring something new now? The bidders wondered and weren’t appreciative of what was happening.“What exactly do you mean by that?” One of the other bidders asked just as the worker with the item to be auctioned stepped forward.“First of all Master Xavier, I know that this is very unconventional but the client that provided us with this item explicitly instructed that we should start the bidding price at ten million dollars. The second thing they requested is that we give it to the first person who makes a bid for it which means that there isn’t going to be a competition for who can pay the most as whoever raises their paddle first wins the item. We are also
CHAPTER 290
All the other bidders squeezed their paddles furiously and growled at the disrespect they just received. How dare a young lady like Martha talk to elderly men who ranged from a few years to some decades older than her like that?Besides Jeremiah, she was the youngest person in the room but at the same time, she had the gull to speak so confidently.Was she looking down on them just because her master spent thirty million dollars on a quill? How Ludacris of her to have this level of hubris they thought.They will show her what they are made of… was what they all had in mind as they turned away from her to face the auctioneer and went ahead to make their counteroffers.Each counteroffer was with an addition of one to three million dollars and every time someone counter-offered, the auctioneer would state Andrew’s automatic counteroffer of an additional five hundred thousand dollars to the last called amount. Anytime he does that, the other bidders would look at Martha to see if she has
CHAPTER 289
“Mister Andrew, your quill will be waiting to be collected immediately after the auction or delivered to anywhere of your choice if you don’t want to leave with it yourself. Just have your assistant provide us with a location and our company will bring it to you as soon as possible” The auctioneer said while looking at Andrew and Martha“Thank you” Andrew replied.The auctioneer faced the rest of the audience and said “That was just the start of our extremely thrilling and captivating auction so if you missed achieving that prize then do not fret, I have more impressive items behind me as you can rightfully see. With that being said, please bring forth the next item”Immediately after the auctioneer finished calling for the next item, the worker with a long box came forward and then held it up for the auctioneer who opened it and showed that it was a sword inside.This sword was known as the sharpest sword in the entire world. It had a black handle with gold patterns on it. There was
CHAPTER 288
Everyone who stared at Martha wondered what master she could be talking about but there were only two options which were Jeremiah or the man sitting next to him.To them, it couldn’t have been Jeremiah because for one thing, they saw him come into the auction alone and secondly, he didn’t have the charisma that matched someone like Martha.That only left Andrew who they looked at, gracefully sitting with his legs crossed and busy looking bored instead of focusing on the auction.Yes, Andrew looked like someone who would be Martha’s master but that raised a good question; why was Jeremiah sitting between her and Andrew?Just then, some of the bidders who remembered Jeremiah and Martha switching seats and Jeremiah speaking with Andrew spoke, making those who hadn’t been paying attention to the three realize what had happened, providing an answer to their question.The auctioneer, who was just as shocked as everyone to hear such a price jump that went almost three times the original firs
CHAPTER 287
“The first thing my mentor told me was that somewhere out there in the world there’s always going to be someone better than you in some and maybe even all regards. You just have to behave with that thought in mind, always. The second thing he told me is, don’t let what you already know be the wall that you stand on to show your confidence because someone else can come around and turn you into Jericho. An example of that is what Martha just did for you. Take these two lessons and grow my friend” Andrew said and Jeremiah’s face became serious.‘Those things sound somewhat similar to what Obadiah told me when he started training me in magic. What a weird coincidence. Whoever Andrew’s mentor is, I’m sure he is a really cool person’ Jeremiah thought.Jeremiah nodded “Alright sir, I’ll engrave all the lessons I’ve learned from the both of you to heart and arrange my next steps accordingly,” he said.Andrew and Martha smiled, happy to have imparted such great lessons to someone like Jeremiah
CHAPTER 286
“So who are these associates of yours that told you about—?“ Jeremiah asked but Andrew cut him off with a hand gesture that said he should stop talking.“Hush for a moment. You might miss something important when it eventually comes up so no more talking. You are here to bid like everyone else so pay attention” Andrew said, pointing at the auctioneer before ending his and Jeremiah’s handshake. He then turned his entire body towards the podium, resting his back on his chair, and paid attention.Jeremiah, who found figuring out the identity of Andrew’s associates just as important as anything the auctioneer was going to say or bring out because the way Andrew dismissed his question seemed kind of suspicious— like he was trying to hide that information— didn’t want to just give up having his questions answered like that.He also only wanted the magical items that would be brought out among the many items being auctioned— which he had a feeling would be among the last items, so he felt l
