The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 48
At their university, though David was a sophomore, he was the most eligible bachelor to every female who knew him, and that even included the teachers. Everyone knew that he was royalty and incredibly rich, so they wanted to do what they could to either be his friend or date him if they were girls and Kristin was no different.Knowing that Kristin, his crush, had a crush on David who was someone he could never compete with, once they arrived at the estate, Desmond pulled Benson to the side and asked him for a favor. The favor was to separate Kristin from David, so he could get the opportunity to woo her and give her reasons to like him, as she had been all over David since they arrived and started their tour of the estate.Agreeing to help out his cousin, Benson separated everyone into two groups. David took his friends and continued the tour of the estate, while Benson took Desmond, Kristin, and Brenda on a separate tour of the inside of the castle. They had just started their cas
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 49
All the guards who responded to the emergency call sent out by David when he pressed the bottom on his phone, had been in the throne room when Jeremiah had his meeting with Reginald. After the meeting was over and Jeremiah left with Kingston, they all were made to swear to keep everything they had heard and witnessed in the throne room a secret just like Reginald told Jeremiah they would.Reginald also told them to refer to Jeremiah as “Young Master” when other people were around as his identity as Lord Crimson was a serious and sensitive information that should be kept secret at all cost. It became extremely ironic the moment they all walked through the door and appeared in the corridor, hoping to take care of the nuisance bothering David, only to see Jeremiah and recognize him as their Lord Crimson and young master.It was like a funny joke and the only person being made fun of was David.On the flip side, Jeremiah who recognized all the guards and knew that they weren’t going to

Every guard who held someone pulled that person to the corner beside the door.“You too,” Jeremiah told Kristin and Brenda and the two girls' eyes widened. “Are we also supposed to go on our knees?” Kristin asked and Jeremiah shook his head.“No. You two are exempted from any punishment but like I said, I want everyone in one place so just follow them and stand in the corner” he instructed and they nodded.The two girls followed the guards who pulled the rest of David’s friends and they went to stand at the corner beside the door. “Not him,” Jeremiah told the guard who was pulling Benson to the corner.“I have something different in mind for him,” Jeremiah said and the guard assigned to Benson nodded.“Bring him over here” Jeremiah instructed and the guard pulled Benson over to him, making Benson stand beside David who was still speechless about everything that was going on. “Here he is, young master,” the guard said after positioning Benson to stand properly in front of Jeremiah.
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 51
Lynette’s eyes blinked rapidly. What kind of question did Jeremiah just ask her?Did he even know the weight of it?Did he mean to tell her that even after Benson had groveled and apologized like a sniveling dog, he was still going to be punished if she didn’t like the apology and chose not to accept it?That was just crazy. Also, what a massive burden to put on her, who was just a simple maid.And what about David? This was his best friend being punished after all.Would he just stand there and watch that happen in front of him, or would he, afterward, want to do something to her for allowing his best friend to receive another round of the punishment?It was something to think about because, at the end of the day, Jeremiah wouldn’t be around forever, so could he even stop David from getting retribution afterward if that’s what he wanted?During their conversation, after leaving the dining room, Jeremiah told Lynette that he was going to return home and wouldn’t be in Crimson Fall fo
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 52
Girls their ages were usually able to act wickedly and vindictively if they wanted, so shouldn’t coming up with suitable punishments for the five on their knees be easy for them? He thought.“You two!” Jeremiah said, and the two girls jolted.“Yes, young master?” Kristin said.“Your names are Kristin and…?” Jeremiah asked, ignorant of Brenda’s name ‘cause nobody had mentioned it yet. “Brenda, young master. My name is Brenda,” Brenda replied, while Kristin looked happy that Jeremiah remembered her name after just hearing it once.He really was paying attention to her, she thought.“Alright, Kristin and Brenda. Do you mind helping me out here?” Jeremiah asked, and the two girls looked at each other with confusion before staring at him with questioning expressions.“Help you with what exactly?” Kristin asked.“I need to teach these five a lesson for what they did but nothing comes to mind. Do you two have any ideas?” Jeremiah asked, and the two girls’ eyes widened.Did Jeremiah, the kin
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 53
Jeremiah and David strolled to Reginald’s study and stood by the door, which, by the design, showed that it protected a room meant for the king. “Is this it?” Jeremiah asked, hands in his pockets as he looked up and down the door with intrigue.“That’s right. This is uncles— I mean your father's study,” David said, still finding it difficult to refer to Reginald as Jeremiah’s father.It was understandable because finding out that Reginald had a son was a very recent development and getting used to it would take some time. “Alright then,” Jeremiah said, gesturing that David should go ahead and knock on the door. Though he was going to do that anyway, David, who had always done what he wanted and, as such, didn’t like being made to feel like someone’s errand boy, grumbled discretely.He faced the door, took a deep breath, sighed, and then knocked.After a second, they heard “Who is it?” It was Reginald’s voice.“Uncle, it’s David,” David answered. There was silence and then footste

“What?!” David exclaimed as he sprung up from his chair. All he saw after hearing what Reginald said was red, and for a moment he had forgotten where he was and how to act. A few seconds later, he snapped back to his senses and calmed down. David looked at everyone in the room, all three of them staring at him with annoyance, and he realized just how much he had messed up. To think that he would lash out in front of and, more importantly, at the king like that. What a bad impression to give at a moment when he needed to give the best impression possible. “Sorry about that, uncle” David bowed his head and apologized. “Don’t just apologize to me. Apologize to both of them because you disrespected both of them too” Reginald instructed. David looked at Jeremiah and Kingston who were at his two sides then he cleared his throat and said “I sincerely apologize for my explosive and rude behavior” “Good, now sit,” Reginald said and David looked at him. “Thank you, uncle,” Da

David, who was left speechless by Jeremiah’s question, blinked many times in one second. “Son, what are you doing?” Asked Reginald who didn’t expect to hear the words that just came out of Jeremiah’s mouth.Why would Jeremiah even say that? He wondered.Didn’t Jeremiah know that as the reincarnation of the first king, he had to take up the kingship after he(Reginald) stepped down? Reginald thought.As a matter of fact, the moment Reginald realized that Jeremiah was the reincarnation of Lord Crimson, he started thinking about stepping down from the kingship the moment all of Jeremiah’s powers returned as he would finally be ready to lead the kingdom, so why on earth was he(Jeremiah) asking David such a question?Reginald was curious about Jeremiah’s thought process and wanted to know why he did what he just did.“I’m asking my cousin, who had worked hard and long for something he said he wants so badly, a very important question,” Jeremiah said and Reginald frowned. “But you know tha

Jeremiah went straight for his bedroom where he collected his thoughts, coming up with things he needed now that he had returned to Bakers View. Then, after making a mental list of everything, he left the house, went outside the fence where his motorcycle was still parked, got on it, and drove into town. His first stop for the day was getting clothes for his massive closet, so he drove all the way to the one clothing store he both had experience with and liked how their clothes were. He went to The High Fashion Emporium.He parked in front of the store, got off the motorcycle, and walked towards the entrance. The last time he was there, the convoy of luxurious cars he arrived in drew a lot of unwanted attention from bystanders, and the entourage of security guards that surrounded him and Kingston as they exited the cars didn’t help. Now, with just him and his motorcycle arriving at the store and walking through the entrance, nobody paid him any attention.He was basically invisible,
CHAPTER 256
As Jeremiah and Page drove through the estate, Jeremiah got the opportunity to have a good look at the houses and it would have been an understatement to say that he was impressed by what he saw. He expected nothing less from an estate owned by his family. Very soon, he saw Page’s jeep’s taillight indicating that she was about to go left. Seeing as how there was no junction or intersection in sight, Jeremiah realized that she was about to park.Jeremiah did the same. He turned on his motorcycle’s left blinker and followed Page to park in front of a massive house that was surrounded by a fence— just like all the other houses in the estate.Security was a pivotal part of the estate’s appeal, so every house in it had a gated fence that acted as a second layer of security in case someone managed to go through Desmond and his partner at the entrance gate.That, however, had never happened since the creation of the estate, but it didn’t hurt to be cautious.Page turned off her car’s engin
CHAPTER 255
The sound of a loud horn blared, drawing Jeremiah and the older security officer’s attention to the car that made it and they saw a black BMW Jeep. “She’s here,” the older security officer said, a look of surprise on his face.Jeremiah, who just realized that the driver of the black BMW Jeep was the housing agent he had called— thanks to what he heard the older security officer say—groaned. He got a good look at the woman and thought that she was nice-looking and on the older side, which wasn’t what he expected because she had a youthful voice over the phone.“I guess you were telling the truth,” the older security officer said. Jeremiah looked at the man in uniform and with a cocky smile replied “What? You thought I was lying to you earlier?”“My apologies. I was only doing my job. You can never be too careful about these things” The older security officer lowered his head slightly as he apologized. “It’s fine. I too would have done the same. Anyway…” Jeremiah looked at the Jeep
CHAPTER 254
Both of them entered the office and did all the paperwork to turn Jeremiah into the owner of a new motorcycle and after a couple of minutes, they were done.“It was nice doing business with you, sir” the sales rep shook Jeremiah’s hand over the desk. “Thank you” Jeremiah smirked. “Shall we go get your motorcycle?” The sales rep asked and Jeremiah nodded.Both of them stood up, left the office, and went to where the motorcycle was.Jeremiah got on it, wore the helmet, and drove out of the shop. For safety reasons, the motorcycle only had a small amount of fuel in the tank so Jeremiah had to make a stop at the gas station before continuing his tasks for the day. He filled the tank to the max and then went to his next destination which was looking for a house like he promised Mary he would a couple of weeks ago. After telling his father a couple of weeks ago that he would be returning to Bakers View, Jeremiah was informed that their family owned an estate in the city with many beaut
CHAPTER 253
The taxi took Jeremiah to the motorcycle shop which was eighteen minutes away from Maple Hotel and parked on the opposite side of the street.Jeremiah came out and walked to the driver’s side door. He paid the fare the same way he paid last night’s fare— by Apple Pay— and he returned his phone to his pocket.“Tell them, Mark, the taxi driver sent you and they should hook you up with a really good deal,” the driver said. “Thanks. I’ll do that” Jeremiah replied as he crossed the street while the taxi drove away. Since he could hear extremely well, he didn’t need to look at incoming traffic to know when it was safe to walk past the street. Because of that, the people who saw him thought he was being careless.If only they knew the truth.Jeremiah got to the front of the shop and looked at the name on the sign.“Light speed engines” he read and chuckled at how nice the name was.Hoping to get a wonderful motorcycle from them, Jeremiah walked into the shop and saw all the beautiful moto
CHAPTER 252
After a few minutes of freshening up, Jeremiah came out of the bathroom, looking clean and great as always. There was already a towel waiting to be used in the shower so he obliged himself and used it to dry up. Then, he wore the pristine white Maple Hotel robe that was next to the towel on the hanger and he came out of the bathroom. Sadly, the one thing he needed that wasn’t present in the bathroom or room was underwear as it would be considered inappropriate if the hotel provided it for the guests. That meant Jeremiah, who didn’t want to be butt naked had to repeat the underwear he wore throughout the day. Fortunately, the cleanliness of the underwear wasn’t a problem because there was a handy spell he learned from Obadiah that was meant to clean fabric. The spell was the shaman’s favorite spell as since he roamed around the world trying to prevent Dark Emblem from finding him, he couldn’t carry much luggage besides the necessary. This made him have limited options when it c
CHAPTER 251
James was the guide they called when a very special person was lodging a room in the hotel so he understood the assignment perfectly which was to make Jeremiah as comfortable as possible They both walked to the elevator and James pressed the button to make the door open on the floor they were on but just as they started to wait, Jeremiah said:“If you don’t mind, can we use the stairs instead of the elevator?” James looked at the young master and furrowed his eyebrows.“Why, sir? Do you have an issue with elevators?” The guide asked as he had never once heard of a situation where a guest wanted to take the stairs instead of the elevator.Jeremiah shrugged and replied “Not an issue per se but using an elevator makes me nauseous. If possible, I would like to avoid that” Jeremiah had always been nauseous when using an elevator so he always avoided it. However, since he got his powers back at Crimson Fall, he hadn’t been in one. As such, he didn’t know if he would get nauseous still or
CHAPTER 250
After a couple of minutes of smooth driving, the taxi finally arrived at the destination. The driver parked in front of the entrance of the hotel and looked at Jeremiah in the back seat.“Welcome to Maple Hotel, sir. It has everything a fine gentleman like yourself could ever want. It’s a little bit on the pricy side but being a good judge of people I have a feeling the price wouldn’t be a problem for you” the driver smiled. Jeremiah looked at the hotel and groaned.“You like it, don’t you? Trust me, I know what you’ll enjoy so please check it out,” the driver said. “Thanks for the ride and helping me decide which hotel to stay in,” Jeremiah said and the driver grinned proudly. Jeremiah came out of the car, walked to the front passenger side, and pushed his upper body through the open window.“You use Apple Pay, right?” He asked as he took out his phone from his pocket.“Of course, sir” the driver replied.He reached for his phone and set up the price while Jeremiah entered his Ap
CHAPTER 249
Obadiah started the session by asking Jeremiah how far he had gone in the grimoire he gave him and when Jeremiah said how far he was, the shaman was surprised. To think he studied so much in a day. The important part now was if he had mastered what he studied and to know that, the shaman tested him. To no surprise, Jeremiah aced all the tests and with that, their training fast-tracked by a lot but that wasn’t a problem.Obadiah had realized how quickly Jeremiah learned magic so he took into account that Jeremiah would have made a lot of progress by the time they met again and to not repeat the last training session, he made sure he had enough to teach the young master that day. By the time they were done for the day, Jeremiah’s skill had advanced greatly. “At this rate, you will be just as proficient as me by the time I want to leave Crimson Fall” Obadiah joked and Jeremiah laughed. They ended training for the day and both men went to spend the rest of their day doing what they w
