The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 39
After hearing the truth about his family’s past, and everything that led up to him being in his current situation, from Reginald, Jeremiah’s eyes widened. “You can turn around and leave this place right now if that’s what you want. After all, you are our Lord, and none of us can stop you from doing whatever you desire, but as your subject and, most importantly, your father, I suggest that you stay and take up your rightful place, my Lord” Reginald said then he went on his knees and stretched the box with the ring in it to Jeremiah. “Whatever you decide shall be respected, my Lord,” Reginald said and then bowed his head.Jeremiah looked at everyone in the room and how they were all bowing their heads to him then he looked at Reginald who seemed very earnest. Jeremiah looked at the ring inside the box and asked “You said that wearing this ring would bring back my powers, right?”“Yes, my Lord” Reginald replied. Jeremiah groaned.“Okay then,” Jeremiah said then he reached for the rin
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 40
The first guard to get close sent a punch at Jeremiah’s head and Jeremiah caught it. He twisted the guard’s hand, spraining his wrist and the guard exclaimed in pain.Next, Jeremiah kicked the guard in the stomach, sending him flying towards Reginald and Kingston, skidding and stopping by their feet.The other nineteen guards didn’t pay attention to their comrade who was sent flying and continued to attack.They threw punches and kicks at Jeremiah but he easily evaded and parried them then took them down one by one. In one minute twenty strong and tall guards attacked Jeremiah and in that same minute, they were defeated, lying on the ground, grumbling and groaning in pain.“Is that all? I thought we were just getting started” Jeremiah said, the blood in his veins pumping with power and adrenaline.Jeremiah looked at the guards standing by the walls, and asked, “Who’s next?” and they all jolted.After seeing what he had done, none of them wanted to step forward and take up that chall

“So, my Lord, where should we start on our tour of the estate? The golf court behind the castle or the greenhouse to the east. We could also start at the planetarium if you’re interested in those types of things. Don’t tell Master Reginald that I told you this, but that is his favorite part of the estate,” Kingston asked as he and Jeremiah walked down the corridor that led to the throne room. “Why is that? Did he want to be an astronaut at one point in his life or something?” Jeremiah chuckled, but then he stopped when he saw the serious look on Kingston’s face.“What is it?” Jeremiah asked.“Master Reginald had that place built shortly after he thought that your mother and you had died in the accident he heard over the phone. He would go there every day and look up into space, trying to find where Lord Crimson could have come from, but he could never find it. I mean, who even knows if Lord Crimson was from space?” Kingston said, and Jeremiah grimaced.“What do you mean? I thought th
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 42
Since he wore the ring and his powers—the little that did— came back, Jeremiah’s vision had become far greater than normal.From the distance, he could perfectly see the people inside the two sports cars, and they were all young. They looked like they were about the age of just starting college.What were such young people doing on the estate? Jeremiah wondered. Jeremiah also heard rap music blasting through the speakers of the cars and making noise everywhere as they drove to the front of the castle.It was like they didn’t respect the environment they were in and looking at the servants' faces after the two cars appeared, Jeremiah could see that they too didn’t like it.Jeremiah also saw the servants carrying on with what they were doing like they were used to what was going on and couldn’t do anything about it, which made everything click to him.Only someone close to the King would be allowed to drive into the castle like that, so Jeremiah realized that the people on their way to

The group in front of Jeremiah and Lynette consisted of two guys and two girls, all barely escaping their teens.Immediately, the faces of both guys became one of amazement after getting a good look at Lynette, whose beauty eclipsed the girls they had come with. Who would have thought that they were going to see someone like her on their visit to the estate?Just then, one of the guys with blonde hair named Benson, licked his lip as his expression became lecherous toward Lynette. He grinned from ear to ear as he broke off from his group and stepped closer to Jeremiah and Lynette.“Who knew that a servant could look like you? Wow! I’m impressed,” Benson said as he slowly circled Lynette, his hand on his chin as he checked out the maid’s body with a lustful gaze.“What’s your name?” Benson asked Lynette from behind her.“Umm, Lynette. Lynette Ross,” Lynette answered hurriedly, looking and sounding uncomfortable at what Benson was doing.“Nice to meet you, Lynette. My name is Benson Cl
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 44
Who the hell was David?You know what? Jeremiah couldn't care less.“You’re free to do whatever you want,” Jeremiah said, then looked at Lynette, pushed Benson’s hand away again, and grabbed Lynette’s hand.“Let’s get out of here,” Jeremiah said, and Lynette nodded.Jeremiah started pulling the maid away, both of them going around Benson and heading for the door. “Excuse us,” Jeremiah said once he and Lynette got to Kristin, Brenda, and Desmond, who blocked their path and the two girls happily stepped to the side for them to go through, while Desmond, who wanted to impress Kristin, refused.“What does a servant like you think he’s doing acting all tough?! Benson wasn’t done talking and you just disrespected him like that. Do you think that the four of us are on the same level as a lowlife servant like you? Are you crazy?!” Desmond threatened.“Sure. Whatever.” Jeremiah rolled his eyes and then placed his hand on Desmond’s shoulder.“You can say whatever you like and call me whatever

“Jeremiah Garrick? Wait… Garrick? Isn’t that David’s and the king’s last name?” One of the guests behind David said, looking shocked.Everyone else thought about Jeremiah’s last name and had the same question in mind.“What’s going on here, David? Why does he bear the same name as you and the king? Are the two of you related or something?” Brenda asked.“Speaking of being related, I noticed that the two of them share some resemblance with one another, but is there more to it than both being good-looking? Are they actually related?” Kristin said.The others started murmuring, filling the corridor with confusion and questions. David frowned.“What nonsense are you lot talking about and why the hell are you all acting surprised and confused?! Do you think I would have talked the way I just did if this liar and I were actually related?! Are you guys daft or something?!” David asked, and his friends looked at each other guiltily.“David is right. We’ve been best friends for a long time no

“How dare you look me straight in the eyes and say such a grievous lie?! Also, did I just hear you call this bastard a young master? That’s it, come here right now! I’m going to feed you to the dogs!” David said.He reached forward, grabbed Lynette’s hand, and was about to forcefully pull her away from Jeremiah when, to his surprise, Jeremiah grabbed his wrist and stopped him.Everyone who saw what Jeremiah did was left dumbfounded.Did he just lay his hand on David?Did he want to die?“What do you think you’re doing?!” David asked as he glared at Jeremiah through the corner of his eyes.To his surprise, Jeremiah too had an angry look aimed at him.“That’s what I should be asking you? Who gave you the audacity to think that you could put your hand on the person assigned to assist me during my stay while I’m standing right here?” Jeremiah asked, his voice so powerful that it sent chills down the spines of everyone there. They quickly got over it because they thought that he was a nob

With each passing second, the turmoil and fear in the hearts of all the maids standing there increased to new heights. Jeremiah, having never been in this type of situation before, was clueless about what to do.As someone who had spent his entire teenage and adult years being looked down upon by all the people around him, Jeremiah had gotten used to not being and also not being seen as a threat or an object of fear and intimidation to others.Things changing to what it was now felt jarring and Jeremiah was left not knowing what to do to quell the situation. “Umm…” Jeremiah said but stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked to the side and saw that it was Reginald holding him. “Dad?” Jeremiah mouthed.“Don’t worry, My Lord. You’re still new to this and until your past memories come back, you’ll have some challenges ruling over people. Fortunately, you have me to help” Reginald smirked. Jeremiah looked at the crowd of maids then he looked at Reginald and calmed down.
CHAPTER 176
Seeing Jeremiah transform before their eyes was like watching a scene from a movie, but with the most spectacular special effects imaginable.The color and texture of his arms changed, becoming scaly in appearance and possessing a toughness almost equal to steel. They also grew longer, with the muscle fibers becoming more prominent, while the fingernails lengthened and turned completely black.Speaking of his fingernails— which could be called claws at that point— they looked sharp and hard enough to effortlessly slice through flesh and even cut through bone like marshmallows.Jeremiah's facial structure also went through some changes, becoming less human-like— sharper and wider to be exact. His teeth grew longer and sharper, his ears elongated like elves’, and his eyes…His eyes completely changed in color and shape, taking on the appearance of a reptile’s, with a dangerous black-and-gold tint that sent chills down the spines of everyone who met his gaze.If this were a video game, b
CHAPTER 175
The maids all looked in the direction Reginald was gesturing at, their eyes as sharp as eagles as they tried to see who Lord Crimson was. They had never been more interested in anything than they had been in this particular topic since it was brought to them. After all, who wouldn’t be interested in finding out the validity of something that had been a major part of their life growing up? After looking for a moment, all the maids could see were Jeremiah and Kingston—no one else. Confused, they glanced away from the two, wondering if Reginald had gestured in the wrong direction.There was clearly nothing in the opposition direction too so they didn’t even bother looking there. Instead, they looked among themselves and pondered if Lord Crimson hadn’t come to the room yet. Still, that didn’t make sense because the look on Reginald’s face was that of someone who was certain that Lord Crimson was where he was pointing. However, their eyes told them otherwise—so what on earth was going o
CHAPTER 174
The maids glanced at the guards, who, as they realized while panicking about their throbbing tongues, had remained straight-faced throughout the entire ordeal. They then groaned, grateful for the clarification Reginald had just provided.“Only a select few didn’t experience what you all did but do not be offended by that,” Reginald said, drawing the maids’s attention back to himself.The few who didn’t feel the discomfort on their tongues because the secret spell wasn’t cast on them were Bruce, David, Kingston, Reginald, Obadiah who casted the spell, and of course Jeremiah. The maids could figure out the identity of the people Reginald was talking about and weren’t offended by it. Rather, it made them more curious about what Reginald was going to tell them that was going to shake their worldview.“The sensation you all felt was the result of a spell called The Secrecy Spell. Its purpose is to make sure that none of you can relay what you’re about to find out in this gathering to some
CHAPTER 173
All the maids started reacting to the sensation they were having on their tongues, wondering what was going on.Was it in all their heads or was something actually physically happening to them? Some reacted calmly and level-headedly to the strange sensations their tongues were experiencing, while others panicked. However, they were all concerned and worried about their tongues suddenly acting up.“My tongue. What’s happening to my tongue?!” Said one of the maid who moved her tongue around her mouth, trying to understand the strange sensation she couldn’t explain.It was like the tongue was throbbing, getting hot, itchy and numb, all at the same time, which didn’t make sense and was something that had never happened before. “You’re feeling that too? I thought I was the only one. What’s going on?” Said another who brought out her tongue and touched it, not feeling the throbbing or hot sensation on her finger which made her think that she was imagining it but that didn’t make sense be
CHAPTER 172
Jeremiah used to think that the platinum debit card he got from Anthony, the manager of Polaris Bank, was the highest form of debit card anyone could get and use for his/her transactions. However, here he was finding out there was an even greater level than that. The Black Debit card.This was a card that only one bank in the entire world provided its customers. In fact, the bank only provided the Black Debit card to its customers and only on the condition that they meet certain financial criteria that 99.999% of the world’s population would never reach.A customer has to have at least ten billion dollars in cash before they can open an account with them and once opened, the Black Debit card is provided.The name of the bank was Sentry Bank, and there were fewer than seventy people in the entire world who had an account with them—Jeremiah being one of them.“I had always planned to have you abandon your current bank account and opt for the new one Kingston was going to create for you
CHAPTER 171
After watching Lynette and Elizabeth leave the throne room and the door get closed, the four men who were once having a meeting before being interrupted, returned to that. “I never would have guessed that what just happened would happen when we started this meeting a couple of minutes ago, but I’m extremely happy that it did” Reginald said and Jeremiah groaned.“His Majesty is right, My Lord," Obadiah said, making Jeremiah look at him. "With Miss Lynette's knowledge of the past and her claim of having taught you not just a simple magic spell but the most complex and powerful one in the world, she will be of greater help to your growth in magic than I ever could."Jeremiah thought about what the shaman said and grimaced.“You’s right, she might— no, she will be of greater help to my magic training than you can.” Jeremiah said, making Obadiah to smile prematurely. “But, she also said that it will take a while for her powers to come back after she’d resurrected for the first time in a l
CHAPTER 170
Hearing what Lynette had just said, Reginald, Kingston, and Obadiah—who remained silent—were all relieved yet shocked that their hypothesis was correct. Granted, Jeremiah had been the one to come up with the hypothesis, but they had all believed in it.Now, this revelation brought about even more questions they struggled to articulate, especially since Lynette was no longer the maid they once held authority over.As a being very similar to what Jeremiah was, Lynette—who had existed for centuries—didn’t have to answer to anyone if she chose not to, and her behavior so far, speaking to the king and Kingston like regular people, made that abundantly clear.“Even I was confused when she woke from her rest and claimed she used to be close friends with Lord Crimson before his reincarnation. At first, I wondered how that could be possible, given that Lord Crimson’s reincarnation took place centuries ago. But the honesty and conviction in her words made me curious to know if she was telling t
CHAPTER 169
Jeremiah watched Lynette and Elizabeth walk to the front of the throne room where he and Obadiah were, all the while staring at Lynette and trying to wrap his head around why she seemed different yet so familiar.“What’s the meaning of this, Elizabeth?” Kingston asked then he looked at Lynette and grimaced. He too had noticed that something was off about her. For starters, she didn’t seem as shy or timid as how every maid on the estate act when they are in his or, most especially, Reginald’s presence. Kingston groaned then focused his attention of Elizabeth once more.“Who gave you the permission to interrupt a meeting between Master Reginald and young master Jeremiah and bring one of you protégés?” Kingston asked. Elizabeth quickly bowed her head to Reginald— her body trembling.“My apologies, your majesty! It was never my intention to interrupt your meeting like this—“ she said but Kingston cut her off.“Good intentions or not, it doesn’t change the fact that you did what you did
