"Look, they have just finished addressing everyone and giving the rules for the auction like they always do so it's time to start," Andrew said to Jeremiah, letting him know what was going on because it was his first auction.He then looked at Jeremiah and said "I hope I and Martha didn't distract you from learning the rules seeing as this is your first auction and you needed to know every rule to participate properly" Jeremiah shrugged "Honestly, I got distracted but I catch on quickly. I'll just watch everyone else and you to know what to do when it gets to something I want," he said.Andrew smirked, looking impressed."A smart young man. I like that. Well, since we're going to keep talking through the duration of this auction, I guess it’s only appropriate for us to introduce ourselves. My name is Andrew Loch, and she is my longest friend, assistant, and non-romantic partner, Martha" Andrew said then shifted his gaze to Martha, hinting that she greets Johnathan.Martha turned to J

“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

“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
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! 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

“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

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

“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

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

“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.Grey huffed, h
CHAPTER 307
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

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
