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
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 55
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

‘Please, please, please, let this work,” David thought as he groveled at Jeremiah’s feet.If there was an award for the most desperate person on the planet, then David, for sure, was going to win it by a landslide.“Whatever you want, cousin Jeremiah, I promise that I’ll give it to you!” David said desperately and Jeremiah grimaced.“How can you, someone who is asking something of me, going to give me something I want in return?” Jeremiah asked, and David raised his head to look at him. “In case you haven’t noticed already, I don’t really need anything from anyone. I mean, do you think I would have asked you if you wanted to be the future king if I wanted anything?” Jeremiah said, and David’s eyes blinked rapidly.He realized just how stupid he was to have said what he did.What on earth could he even have hoped to give Jeremiah in return for handing the kingship over to him?Absolutely nothing.That just showed how desperate he was, making empty promises without even thinking over t
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 57
Hearts pounded in anticipation of what Jeremiah’s next sentence was going to be.The mix of emotions in the room was so palpable, it got too much for the extremely desperate David, and he interrupted Jeremiah before he could even speak.Although what he said was done in good faith as he wanted to give Jeremiah the confidence to trust in all the work he had put in and trust that he was right for the kingship, what he ended up doing was making things worse for himself.He said “Cousin, I assure you that I’ll be a good and kind king.” Immediately, Jeremiah froze. “A kind king, you say?” Jeremiah said, and the way he spoke made David blink multiple times.David reflected on what he had just said and realized how gravely he messed up.Jeremiah didn’t even have to say anything for him to know that yet again he had made a massive mistake. Here he was talking about being a kind king when the reason Jeremiah was in the study in the first place was to address the brutality of the punishment
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 58
Everybody looked at David, expecting him to shed more light on the strange suggestion he just made. What did he mean that Jeremiah should attend the One-hundredth-year anniversary of his university in Reginald’s stead when the king just finished thinking that he had shut down the topic a few sentences ago? “Uncle, as you said, cousin Jeremiah is your son who not only you but the entire world didn’t know existed for the longest time, so doesn’t it make sense to showcase him to the world in a spectacular manner?” David said then placed his hand on his chest and continued, “I think it’s a good idea, and what better way to accomplish that than utilizing the massive event that is the one-hundredth-year anniversary of my university next week?” Reginald groaned after hearing what David had to say. “I agree with you that the best decision to make concerning the handling of Jeremiah’s reappearance is to showcase him to the public in a spectacular and memorable fashion, but that’s what t
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 59
Without hiding a single detail, because he wasn’t David’s friend and as such had no reason to protect him, Jeremiah told Reginald everything that happened downstairs. From the altercation with Benson caused by his disgusting behavior toward Lynette to David’s disgraceful response to the whole incident, Jeremiah spilled everything to Reginald. Each time something about him was said, David felt like the ground should just open up and swallow him as the disappointed glances he got from Reginald made him want to disappear. He felt guilty, ashamed, and humiliated. “I believe that the way the servants are punished needs to be reevaluated. It can be too harsh, and something has to change,” Jeremiah said firmly. Reginald, who never expected to hear of any of that that late in the afternoon, groaned. To think that the second conversation he would have with Jeremiah on the same day of meeting him was going to be about his concerns for the wellbeing of the servants. What an utter s
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 60
Jeremiah and David left the study and once they were gone, Reginald and Kingston continued the conversation they were having before the interruption happened. “So, what did the Shaman say after reaching out to him?” Reginald asked.The Shaman from when Jeremiah’s mother, Lauretta, was pregnant had called Reginald not so long ago, but because he was busy at the time he had missed it.When Reginald eventually saw the missed call, he tried calling back but the Shaman didn’t answer.Knowing that the Shaman wouldn’t be calling without a good reason, especially considering the fact that it was on the same day he was reuniting with his long-lost son, Reginald made sure that he got in contact with the Shaman no matter what.He tasked Kingston with calling the Shaman’s number at regular intervals until he eventually answered and that’s exactly what happened.“He said that there is a possibility, although tiny, that Dark Emblem would attack tonight at the welcoming celebration for Young Master
