The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 309
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

[“Hey, dude. How’s it going?”] Daniel asked.Jeremiah cleared his throat, a look of guilt in his eyes as the idea of what he was about to do made him sick. He knew that he was about to betray Daniel’s trust and as a result, wasn’t as happy about Daniel’s call as he was pretending to be.“Everything is going fine on my end. Yours?” Jeremiah replied. [“Never been better, bro”] Daniel said, his voice hinting that there was something important he wanted to convey.Jeremiah already had an idea what it was about, so he just tried to get it over with. “That’s cool. Anyway, what’s the surprise call about? Are you perhaps calling about that stuff?” Jeremiah asked. [“Stuff? Do you mean the wedding ring? Oh, yeah, I’m at work and nowhere near the missus so we can speak openly”]“Oh. Alright then. So, are you calling about the ring?” Jeremiah asked.Daniel chuckled.[“What? I can’t just call to talk to my boy without having a reason?”] Daniel said with a tone that was a dead giveaway that he w

“Oh, wow. Look who’s dressed to impress” Daniel grinned as Jeremiah walked towards him—rolling his eyes and shaking his head as he chuckled light heartedly. “Don’t tell me you dressed like this just for me. I’m honestly flattered” Daniel joked, his hands on his chest. “Haha, very funny,” Jeremiah said sarcastically.“I know. I’m a hoot” Daniel grinned for a moment and then his expression became one of curiosity.“But on a serious note, why are you dressed like that? If I didn’t know better I would have thought that you were going on a date”Jeremiah was silent, momentarily forgetting the advice Grey had given him about the meaning of silence in a conversation that had turned into a question.Observing Jeremiah for a moment, Daniel’s eyes widened as a smile grew on his lips. “Wait, seriously? Congrats man, but why didn’t you tell me that you’ve seen someone new after the dumpster fire that was Mary?!” Daniel patted Jeremiah on the shoulder.“I’m so happy for you, man. You deserve to

Victoria’s caution and confusion disappeared as a smile popped onto her face.“I’m fine. How are you?” She asked.“I’m good. By the way, you look great. After only seeing you in that dreaded nurse uniform throughout all the years I’ve known you, this right here is a nice change of pace” Daniel stared at her dress excitedly.“Why, thank you. It was a hassle getting it ready for today because of some issues with the dry cleaning but I’m glad everything worked out in the end and someone likes it” Daniel looked at Jeremiah and said “You hear that dumbass? She wants you to compliment her on her dress so stop being shy and do it already” Victoria jolted.“No, no, no. That’s not what I was getting—“ she said in a panic but Jeremiah cut her off.“I’m sorry for not saying it in time but your dress looks amazing. Your hair and make-up too. You really look great” Jeremiah said and the nurse went silent, a blush appearing on her cheeks. Daniel, who was proud his best friend was dating again, s

Jeremiah and Victoria walked into the Reyal Darling Gourmet Restaurant and were immediately greeted by the spectacular ambiance and marvelous interior designs. The air smelled and tasted like something from the past, having a welcoming feeling about it that dropped the guard of each individual person who was enveloped by it.It was like walking into a different realm that prided itself in providing the best luxury and comfort possible and this was just the entrance. How heightened would those feelings be in the main dining?The small number of staff members Jeremiah and Victoria had seen all seemed professional in their respective roles and everything came together like a well-oiled machine. “Welcome, sir. Please enjoy your time at The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant” greeted the staff who was on Jeremiah’s side of the entrance while the staff by Victoria’s side greeted her too.The beautiful nurse couldn’t help but smile as she had never experienced such excitement before. She cou

At the moment, Jeremiah was very suspicious of Wellings because of Grey, who had also known his identity even though he hadn’t been the one who told either of them. Now, the question was whether Wellings was another member of Dark Emblem, because if he was then things wouldn’t go well for him. After how angry Grey had made Jeremiah during their last encounter, any member of Dark Emblem who Jeremiah came across would pay the price for the things that happened. Still, Jeremiah gave Wellings the benefit of the doubt, having a feeling that he wasn’t a member of Dark Emblem because of one complex reason; the fact that Wellings was tricked by Grey’s illusion spell and had communicated with Martha in the auction house. Now, Wellings could have been pretending that she was real, just like Grey was. But, the way their interaction was very hostile proved that he wasn’t playing any tricks. Why argue with someone he knew was an illusion and risk escalating the situation to a point that might

“I suppose you’ve noticed that this building isn’t what it used to be a year ago,” Wellings said and Jeremiah grimaced.Since Jeremiah had been poor for most of his life which only changed less than a month ago, he didn’t know that much about high-end restaurants like The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant or any other one out there.The only reason he did was that Mary used to nag him about going to one every anniversary they had since they started dating, each time growing increasingly frustrated when he said he couldn’t take her because of his mother’s health issues and other responsibilities that needed the money.Her nagging only stopped after they got married and Jeremiah noticed that she hadn’t said anything about spending their anniversary as a dinner date in The Royal Darling Gourmet Restaurant.Jeremiah had just thought that she had finally understood his financial challenges and had decided to not bother him about something he couldn’t afford. Little did he know that she was

“No, Master Jeremiah didn’t lose to me” Wellings replied and Victoria grimaced in surprise.“Wait, then does that mean you lost against him?” She said, shocked.She couldn’t fathom how someone like Wellings could lose to Jeremiah in an auction when auctions are won based on money.Was Welling’s saying that Jeremiah was richer than him? But that’s not possible, right?Wellings chuckled.“Not at all” he replied and that didn’t help to clear Victoria on what had happened.“So was it someone else? Did you two lose to another bidder?” She asked, trying her best to understand.“I did, but not Master Jeremiah” Wellings answered.Victoria tilted her head as she asked “What does that mean?”“Let me put it like this. I won something and lost some in that auction, but Master Jeremiah on the other hand only bided for one item which he won”Victoria furrowed her eyebrows.“Jeremiah beat the other bidders for the item? Is that what you’re trying to say”She wasn’t trying to belittle Jeremiah with h

Just like with Daniel back at the house a couple of days ago, Jeremiah told Victoria all about his family and she got increasingly shocked the more information he conveyed. And just like with Daniel, he omitted anything that had to do with the fact that he was not from this world but a Dragon that reincarnated.With her eyes widened, Victoria just sat there, having no idea she had been quiet for a full thirty seconds since Jeremiah stopped talking. “Aren’t you going to say anything?” He asked, snapping Victoria back to her senses.“I’m sorry, I was just taken aback for a moment but I’m fine now. I can’t believe I’m sitting at the same table and having a date with the future king of Crimson Fall. This is insane” she said, unsure whether she should smile or be nervous, but leaning towards nervousness. Jeremiah chuckled.“You don’t have to be nervous around me, you know that right? It’s not like I changed into an all-new person. I’m still the same Jeremiah who you used to get coffee fr

The dining hall was themed like the ocean and with the blue ambiance of the entire room, Victoria’s red dress popped and became the center of attention.All four walls of the dining hall had transformed into a display of the deep blue sea, showcasing different fish life like a big aquarium. Just like the cold they had felt when the elevator changed into a space-themed interior, the dining hall had a salty and fresh smell to it that made the whole thing more believable.Like that wasn’t crazy enough, swimming through the open space of the dining hall were holographic fishes and the beautiful in design perfect in scale. "Jeremiah, look at that!" Victoria said as she pointed at one of the holographic fishes that was her favorite aquatic life.Jeremiah grimaced, looking impressed by the fish which was one he had never seen before."Wow, this is amazing!" Victoria smiled, completely mesmerized by the showcase and before she could feed her eyes to her heart's content, Presley spoke out."Y

“It hasn’t been designed yet? Y’all made it seem like something so grand when it hasn’t been designed yet? Is this some kind of sick joke or something?” Presley looked at him with surprise.“Oh, Mister Wellings didn’t tell you about this? I’m terribly sorry, sir. Since you took his place to be here, I thought you would have been informed about the workings of the dining hall but you weren’t. It’s my fault for not being proactive enough and asking what you knew before taking you here because it looks like we’re up to no good” Presley said. “The workings of the dining hall? What does that mean?” Jeremiah asked, managing his annoyance.“Well, Chandler over there is an architect as you heard me say before and the walls of this room, just like the elevator and the passage we just walked through are lined with resonance crystals, although these ones are stronger”Jeremiah grimaced. “Resonance crystals? What are you talking about?” Victoria asked. “Well, madam, resonance Crystals are a s
CHAPTER 318
Jeremiah and Victoria looked all around the place and just like the elevator, the Emperor floor was also themed like the solar system but because of the size, it felt like they were in the vastness of space.Again, Jeremiah found it intriguing that he was just thinking about his father’s planetarium and space then all of a sudden everything changed to match that like it was some kind of magic. "Thank you," Jeremiah said then looked at the two hosts individually and asked, "So which one of you should I address from now on, or is it going to be both of you?""That would be me, sir. My name is Presley Montgomery and I'll be your host for the evening" the male host said with a hand on his chest as he bowed in respect.“The Emperor floor offers two hosts and leaves it to the guests to choose who they want to be catered by. Typically a man goes with a man and a woman goes with a woman but the option to pick it’s still there, so if you want to pick my colleague, Annabelle Grimes, then that

“Are you ready to go up?” Jeremiah asked Victoria. Feeling a bit nervous because she wasn’t sure of what was going to happen next, she moved in closer to Jeremiah and nodded.“Yes, I’m ready” she replied.“Alright,” Jeremiah said then focused on the buttons there.To indicate how increasingly luxurious the floors became the higher up you go, the elevator buttons were used to showcase that. Each floor had unique and beautiful buttons assigned to it in the already alluring and stylized gold-plated panel.There was one specific button out of all the rest that looked like it was the most important button. As such, that button was the highest one in the lineup with a notable gap between it and the ones directly underneath.That meant that the level of luxury afforded between the room that that button led to and the one under it were day and night apart which could only mean one thing.“The Emperor floor,” Jeremiah said the moment he identified the button and wasted no time pressing it.Th
