The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 56
‘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

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
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 61
Just then, he remembered that he had sent the guards to take all of them to one room and prevent them from leaving until he said otherwise or it was time for them to go home.“So this isn’t a prank” Jeremiah said skeptically.“Prank? Why would I prank my older cousin?” David said and then chuckled.Jeremiah furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at his cousin suspiciously.Jeremiah wasn’t a fool, he knew a fake laugh and smile when he saw one. After what happened with Mary and all the times she pretended to be a loving wife to him, Jeremiah had learned his lesson and wasn’t going to fall for another person’s deception ever again and that included David. “I don’t know. I don’t see why you would be thanking me for what happened” Jeremiah said and David smiled.“That’s because I agree with you and uncle. What I did, or in this case tried to do to that blonde maid as punishment, was a little too much. If you hadn’t stopped me, I know I would have regretted it later” David said and Jeremiah,

“Condition? What condition?” David asked. Jeremiah knew that there had to be a reason why David wanted his friends free during the welcome ceremony, so he was going to test out how high David’s desperation was. The more desperate David was, the more serious the reason had to be. “Your friends would have to take up roles among the staff that will work in the ceremony,” Jeremiah said. “What?!” David exclaimed, his eyes widened. “That’s right. The only way I’d agree to let your friends out of that room after what they did is if they agree to be a part of the ceremony’s staff.” Jeremiah said and David, who was surprised that that was his condition, blinked multiple times in a second. “B-but why do you want that? I’m sure there are already so many servants and hired staff who would be working in the ceremony, so why do you want my friends to also be a part of it?” David asked and Jeremiah groaned. Deep within Jeremiah’s mind, he thought ‘Normally, you would have disregarded the id

“My phone? What for?” David asked and Jeremiah sighed exasperatedly. “Don’t ask me irrelevant questions and just do it” Jeremiah said, his hand gesturing that David should hurry up. “Okay,” David replied skeptically then he reached into his pocket and took out the phone.“Good, now look for the voice recorder app and open it” Jeremiah instructed and David nodded.“Okay, I’ve done that. Now what?” David asked once he had opened the voice recorder app like Jeremiah told him to.Jeremiah gestured that he should give the phone to him and David did so hesitantly.It was clear by his responses since Jeremiah mentioned his phone that he was very attached to it.The reason could be because the punishment he got from Reginald was that everything he used to have access to was now limited and, as a result, his phone, which was one of the few possessions he was allowed to keep, seemed many times more valuable now.He didn’t want Jeremiah to do something that would damage the phone by accident o
