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

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

He observed the person closely when they opened the door and he saw the manager's title on the name tag on their chest.“Are you Mr. Jeremiah?” The manager asked while panting.Jeremiah groaned as he stuffed his hands into his pockets, making a face to show that he was a little annoyed about the door being locked, and then said “Yes I am and you’re the manager, right?”The manager followed Jeremiah’s eyes and saw that he was staring at his name tag.“Yes, I am. Anyway, I’m terribly sorry for keeping you outside like this. I just got a call from the owner who first yelled at me and then ordered me to let you in so I hope you’re not offended by the delay, sir” The manager, who seemed very nervous as he had his head lowered to avoid eye contact, said to Jeremiah.“I was honestly pissed off at first but now that you’ve apologized, I’m good,” Jeremiah said and the manager sighed discretely.“That’s good to hear, sir” The manager moved out of the way and gestured that Johnathan goes in. “Pl

The manager took Jeremiah to a different area inside the Jewelry store and this place was a showroom just like the one they had left but from the design it was obviously a showroom meant for the elites— those who can afford the pieces there.Jeremiah did a quick scan and couldn’t feel any ounce of magic from any of the jewelry, letting him know that they weren’t at the right place yet. That feeling was also supported when the manager started leaving their current location and Jeremiah followed along.“I know they look amazing but don’t bother yourself with these mediocre stones, sir. It’ll only be a fruitless waste of time as they won’t be able to satisfy your search.” The manager said with a grin and Jeremiah who had the same sentiment was silent.The manager, however, still had some things to add.“For a man of your caliber— someone who made my boss, the owner of this great establishment call and instruct me to see that you get whatever request you have taken care of speedily and ef

Jeremiah could see that everyone there was from different walks of life and the only common thing among them was that they all exuded wealth and power.“So sir, since you’ve seen what’s going on here I want you to promise not to tell anyone,“ The manager said. Jeremiah looked at the manager, placed his hand on his shoulder, and said “Don’t worry, Donald, none of this will leave my mouth” as he gestured that his mouth was zipped shut. “Thank you very much, sir. If you will, please go in” Donald said, gesturing at the room and Jeremiah stepped through the door. Donald closed the door and walked with Jeremiah. Both of them, especially Jeremiah, stroke the intrigue of the other people there.“Who is that person? Has anyone seen his face before?” One of the bidders said to the others around himAnother bidder shrugged “I don’t know. I’ve never seen that face in any of the previous auctions, and just like the master I’ve gone to many.”“He could be new money, considering how young he loo
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 284
With a face filled with curiosity, Jeremiah stared at the very distinguished-looking man for a few seconds, taking note of his notable features all through the span of his gaze. The first thing he noticed was that the man seemed just as tall as he was while sitting. However, Jeremiah couldn't tell if they were the same height or if the man was taller because the man had his legs crossed while also slouching a little.From what Jeremiah saw while walking into the room, slouching was something none of the other bidders did as they took what they were there for very seriously. The only other person who slouched was Jeremiah himself and for someone as distinguished and wealthy-looking as the man is, that didn't make that much sense.Slouching made sense for Jeremiah because he had lived all his life minus the past month as a normal person and so all the bad habits like having poor sitting posture and etiquette had all been ingrained in him for decades.The weeks of training he did at the

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

“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

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,
