The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 89
“I’ve come with a report of everything that happened,” Kingston said, and everyone in the room grimaced with serious expressions. “Good. Let’s go to my Study, and you can tell me every single detail,” Reginald said.“Okay, Master” Reginald nodded.Reginald turned to Jeremiah and said “I’ll be right back, My Lord. Kingston and I are just going to step out for a moment to discuss a few things which shouldn’t take too long—““Why are the two of you leaving?” Jeremiah asked, a dissatisfied expression on his face.“As I said, it is to discuss a few things about—“ Reginald replied, but Jeremiah cut him off.“I know you’re leaving because you want to discuss something important, but my question is why can’t you do it here?” Jeremiah asked. Reginald and Kingston looked at each other for a moment, then they looked at Jeremiah, who had a skeptical expression.“Because this is a sensitive matter and I don’t want to stress you with it, especially now that you have just recovered— or more accura

“The eyes of a dragon? What the hell are you talking about?!” Jeremiah asked, facing Obadiah but his eyes drifted to the side, and looked into the mirror in his hand.He couldn’t deny that what the shaman said made a lot of sense.His eyes no longer had any semblance of what a human’s should be.It now had a slightly elongated, almond shape with slightly raised outer corners that gave it an intense and otherworldly look. The sclera was pitch black, the iris a vibrant and unusual golden hue, and a vertical, slit-like pupil that had a reptilian edge to it.His eyes looked like they could pierce through the soul of whoever was being stared at and it sent chills down the spine of the three in the king’s chamber with Jeremiah. “My Lord, remember what I told you a couple of minutes ago about your body becoming different… better… stronger, after surviving the explosion that should have killed you?” Obadiah said, rubbing his neck and soothing the pain of almost being choked to death.“Yes?”

To Jeremiah, the members of Dark Emblem were no longer humans but demons, and he would have no shred of remorse when dealing with them.He just wanted to find them wherever they were and end them right that second. “My Lord, your eyes,” Reginald said, pointing at Jeremiah’s face.“What?” Jeremiah asked.“You’re losing control, again,” Reginald said, staring at Jeremiah, whose eyes were slowly transforming to their dragon form.“Oh, I’m sorry,” Jeremiah said, then took a breath and calmed down, which not only stopped but also reverted the transformation.Jeremiah looked at Obadiah and asked, “So what exactly did the communication you tapped into tell you about their plans?”Obadiah cleared his throat. “Though it was hard to get clear information because I’m not as strong as I once was, and they are actively stopping me from tapping into their channels, I was able to get information that they were going to infiltrate and retrieve two targets from the ceremony,” Obadiah said and everyo

“David has been what?!” Reginald exclaimed. “If the person in question hasn’t been found within the vicinity of the estate by now, then it only means that Dark Emblem has gotten their claws on him,” Obadiah replied, getting rid of all hope that his last statement might have been misunderstood. “Dark Emblem? What’s that—?” Benson mumbled, confused about what was going on but he couldn’t voice them because of where he was and who the people around him were. “Kingston!” Reginald exclaimed, facing the butler. “Yes, master?!” Kingston replied hurriedly. “Every resource and manpower should be put into finding where those Dark Emblem bastards ran off to with David and until we find them, nobody is allowed to travel out of Crimson Fall!” Reginald instructed. “Understood—“ Kingston replied, but was interrupted. “Your Majesty!” Obadiah called, and Reginald turned to him. “I’m sure Dark Emblem has a way of leaving Crimson Fall even if there’s a restriction on all travel routes. I can’t

“The young master, he’s… he’s gone!” Elizabeth said and Reginald’s eyes fidgeted.“Jeremiah is gone?! What on earth are you talking about?! What do you mean he’s gone?!” Reginald asked hurriedly. “I-I went to your c-chambers to check o-on the young master l-like y-y-you told me to a-a-and after knock-knock-knocking on the door m-multiple times there was n-no answer s-so…” Elizabeth stuttered.“Calm down, Elizabeth! You’re rambling and aren’t making any sense!” Kingston said, finding it difficult to understand the headmaid. “Kingston is right. Take a moment to calm down and get your words in order then tell me what exactly happened” Reginald instructed and the headmaid sniffled. She took a deep calming breath then sighed and composed herself.“I went to your chambers to check on the young master as you told me to, but after knocking on the door a few times and not getting back any response, I assumed that the young master was sleeping and opened the door anyway, but to my surprise,
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 94
A couple of minutes earlier, after Jeremiah had followed Lynette’s scent to the window of his father’s bedroom, then started smelling David’s scent as well, he heard a knock on the door.“Young Master, it’s Elizabeth…” Elizabeth said, drawing his attention from looking out the window and facing the door. He remembered Reginald saying that he would send her to come keep him company, so he was about to go open the door for her when Lynette’s and David’s scents he had been smelling in the air suddenly started to go down.“Huh?” Jeremiah mumbled, then sniffed the air and realized that their scents were really decreasing.He realized that the longer time went on, the less he’d be able to follow the scents and find where Lynette and David were. Meaning that he didn’t have the time to waste on anything else and if he was going to find Lynette and David, he had to do it now.He couldn’t go tell Reginald about his discovery and wait for the king to form a party of guards that'd join him and f

Desmond panicked, realizing that he had been caught.“I assure you that this isn’t what it looks—“ Desmond said, but was cut off when Jeremiah grabbed his face and lifted him off Kristin. “You bastard! I made a serious mistake not dealing with you earlier because I thought you had learned your lesson, but it looks like I was wrong. I won’t make the same mistake again and this time, I’ll make sure you get the punishment you deserve!!” Jeremiah said and Desmond started sweating bullets.“J-Jeremiah— I mean, young master. Please forgive meeee—“ Desmond said, but wasn’t able to finish when Jeremiah spun and threw him at the giant space telescope a few feet away.Desmond flew like an arrow, crashed into the telescope, which didn’t budge, and he dropped lifelessly on the floor.“Uhhh” Desmond moaned in pain, lying on the floor with multiple broken bones and a concussion. “Who gave you the permission to think you can rest, huh? Did I tell you that I was done with you yet?!” Jeremiah asked
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 96
Jeremiah listened outside again and heard Brenda and the guard yelling Kristin’s name, but from the sound of it, they were getting farther away from the planetarium. Thinking fast, Jeremiah looked around the place, and he saw the cloth used to cover the telescope on the floor and he groaned.“Give me a minute” Jeremiah said, and then stood up.“Where are you going?!” Kristin asked, thinking that he was abandoning her and started to feel terrible.“Just give me a minute” Jeremiah said, then headed to the cloth on the ground while Kristin watched him. Once there, he ripped a piece of cloth that would be big enough to cover the girl’s entire body, then he walked back to where she was. “I’m going to cover you with this. Is that okay with you?” Jeremiah asked.Kristin looked at the cloth, and it was a bit unclean, but still she nodded, and said “Okay.”Jeremiah was about to cover her with the cloth but looked to the side and saw her torn underwear.He walked over to it and was about to

Meanwhile, back at the Mercury Jewels Jewelry Shop— at the back where Jeremiah and Grey had their confrontation—two of the staff were there, crouching by the wall and smoking a cigar.It was their break and this was what they usually did.“Damn, today was a really good day. So many customers coming in to buy expensive shit and the day isn’t even over yet. At the rate we’re going, I have a feeling we’ll be getting a pay raise soon” said one of the staff.“It probably has something to do with the auction that took place not too long ago. Business usually booms during it but I hope you’re right ‘cause I really need the extra money. My kid is about to go to college and I want to put him in a really good one that will help him have a bright future” said the second staff. “Speaking of your kid, how is he? He doesn’t visit you as much as he used to in the past” the first staff said.“Yeah. He’s at that age where he doesn’t want to hang out with his old dad anymore but he’s a good kid” “Tha
CHAPTER 305
“Alright, Lynette, what’s the catch to this so-called ability of yours?” Jeremiah asked, his tone hitting his fatigue. [“Since it's an automatic death sentence for the person I'm linked to the moment I die, it means their life ends when my current lifecycle ends—and a new one begins with me being reborn as a newborn.”] Lynette replied and Jeremiah groaned. “So you’re saying that if you manage to go through this battle without getting temporarily killed, Dad will remain alive no matter what for the next thirty-nine years which is when your current cycle ends,” Jeremiah said, his tone extremely skeptical.[“That’s right. I’ve linked with only one person in all my lives and thanks to them I know exactly what this ability is capable of and what its limits are. I and the person in question cannot be unlinked once linked. That’s the price they pay for accepting the link and gaining short-term immortality”]This meant that Lynette couldn’t just link with any random person. They had to know
CHAPTER 304
Reginald had to admit that Jeremiah made a lot of sense with what he had said. Things were very dangerous with Dark Emblem knowing Jeremiah’s whereabouts and were going to attack him at any moment. Reginald was already someone they wanted dead— although he wasn’t a priority like Jeremiah and Obadiah were— so it would basically be the same as putting him on a silver platter if he was anywhere near Jeremiah whenever Dark Emblem decided to attack. They would definitely kill him first if the opportunity presented itself. Or worst-case scenario, they would try to use him as a hostage and make Jeremiah unable to attack as strongly as he would have. Granted, the likelihood Dark Emblem does that is very low because they didn’t have a good impression of Lord Crimson and thought he didn’t care about any human being enough for them to work as a hostage against him. However, the fact that Jeremiah risked his life to save everyone at the welcome ceremony, made things different and that narrat
CHAPTER 303
Jeremiah went ahead to tell Reginald, Kingston, and Lynette what happened— the same as he did with Obadiah, shocking them with each detail he gave, and when he was done, they went silent for an extended period before regaining their composure.[“I didn’t think you would be discovered this quickly after moving back to Bakers View, son”] Reginald said and then groaned—pondering what to say next. [“However, now that the cat is out of the bag and they are coming for you, we have no choice but to look for a way forward. With that said, what’s your plan?”] “My plan, huh? Well, it’s very simple. To fight!” Jeremiah said, resolve echoing from his eyes. Reginald chuckled lightly.[“I wouldn’t have expected anything different. In that case, you will be needing help if you hope to survive this. I’m assuming you’ve decided to have Bakers View as the battleground”]“Yes, I do. This is my hometown, where those Dark Emblem assholes caused my mother to get into an accident that put her in a coma w
CHAPTER 302
Jeremiah returned the relic to where he got it from and without wasting any second, he took out his phone from his pocket and called Kingston. After a few seconds, the call was answered. [“Young Master, Jeremiah”] Kingston greeted. “Good afternoon, Kingston,” Jeremiah replied.[“Good afternoon young master. How is your—?”] Kingston said but Jeremiah cut him off.“Before you ask any questions, I want to know if you’re anywhere close to my father,” Jeremiah asked, the urgency in his voice eliciting intrigue in the butler.[“Unfortunately, I’m not in Master Reginald’s presence but he is in the estate”]“That’s good. Now, I want you to go find my father and put me on speaker phone cause there’s something I want to tell the two of you—“ Jeremiah said but was interrupted. [“Is that Jeremiah?”] Lynette asked excitedly. [“Yes, Lady Lynette. It is”] Kingston replied and Jeremiah groaned.[“Great! I’ve been dying to talk to him so give me the phone!”] Lynette instructed, her hand already
CHAPTER 301
Jeremiah walked around the store in a soured mood, arrived at the front, and got on his motorcycle. He drove back home, all the while thinking about Grey Lucian, who was someplace he couldn’t find, and the fact that he couldn’t tell if Grey was watching him as he went back to the estate pissed him off. Anyone else would have been in a constant state of fear and worry but not Jeremiah. He believed in his capabilities as a dragon and mage and that he was able to have a calm mind. Plus, he knew that it would take some time for the members of Dark Emblem to be ready enough to attack him so in that meantime he was safe. The future, however, was a different story. For the moment, Jeremiah’s concern was on the issue of the tracking spell Grey had put on him. From the looks of it, Grey might have either been telling the truth or lying through his teeth because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t sense the magic of the spell on him. Even if he could sense the mana, it would only mean
CHAPTER 300
Jeremiah’s face twitched after hearing Andrews call him his other name. “So you know about my real identity too. That’s interesting” Jeremiah scoffed then did a scan of the other people standing and watching him and Andrews. “That’s a neat trick. Unfortunately, your illusions don’t work on me— not anymore anyway— so it would be better if you just deactivate it and stop wasting mana” Jeremiah said. Andrews looked at the other people on the premises, who smiled at him and Jeremiah, groaned and said “I wonder what changed to make my magic no longer work on you. Is it perhaps that box you won from the auction because it would make sense why you were so interested in it.” Andrews chuckled, returned his gaze to Jeremiah, and continued, “It’s a shame I didn’t see how valuable it was to bid for it. But even if I had, you would have outbid me, wouldn’t you?” Andrews deactivated his illusion magic and everyone on the premises, beside him and Jeremiah, disappeared. “…” Jeremiah refraine
CHAPTER 299
Reliving his memories of the auction, Jeremiah started to notice some strange inconsistencies with them like a veil was being lifted off his mind. To be specific, his memories of Andrews and Martha took on a different and clearer light and he realized the truth which was that there was nobody like Martha in the entire auction. However, that didn’t make sense because not only him but the auctioneer and everyone else in the auction house interacted with her so what was going on?Jeremiah was confused and the more his memories of the auction cleared, the more he understood until finally he realized what happened— Martha was never real and was created by an illusion spell to trick not just him but everyone else in the auction. Just as he figured that out and the false memories were cleared off his mind, leaving only the real one, Jeremiah realized that he had figured out the truth before but back when he did, something— the veil as he termed it— covered his mind and made him forget unt
CHAPTER 298
All the salespeople who saw Jeremiah walk past them greeted him because they remembered seeing him go to the auction area with the manager earlier. Then not king after, Jeremiah made it out of the store. He walked over to his motorcycle and got on. However, instead of driving away, he first called Daniel to let him know that he had gotten the ring.He took out his phone from his pocket, woke the screen, and to his surprise he had two missed calls from Daniel that came during the auction.“That’s right, I put my phone on silent mode when I entered the auction house so as not to cause any distractions,” Jeremiah said to himself.The manager had been the one who asked him if his phone was on silent mode and told him to put it on when they entered the auction area. It was a rule of the auction house that all phones were either switched off or on silent mode so they didn’t make noise.Jeremiah quickly deactivated his phone’s silent mode and called Daniel.After ringing for a few seconds,
