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

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 came
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
CHAPTER 248
A few hours later, Jeremiah and the others arrived at the estate, and waiting for him in front of the castle were Kingston, Elizabeth, some maids, and some guards. Just as he said earlier, which was also the reason Jeremiah had taken his place in the ceremony, Reginald had other affairs to take care of so he wasn’t around to welcome his son. Jeremiah parked his motorcycle in front of the castle, just like the car Steven and Lynette were in and they all came down to be welcomed.“How was your trip, young master?” Kingston asked, bowing his head just like the others around him. “It was okay. We met up with the college’s chancellor then we went to the arena and I made the speech as planned. Everyone was going exceptionally well until an issue arose” Jeremiah replied and Kingston grimaced.“Issue? What issue—?” Kingston asked but then saw Steven open the backseat door and to his surprise he saw a sleeping stranger.“Who is that, young master?” Kingston asked. Jeremiah sighed, annoyed.
