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?”
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 91
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 143
Jeremiah grinned, happy about the news of him getting to learn magic.Magic was something every kid wished they could do growing up, but eventually, they would become disappointed when they found out that it wasn’t real. However, not only was Jeremiah going to fulfill his childhood dream of learning and then doing magic, but it wasn’t going to be the type the magicians he loved to watch did. This wasn’t going to be tricks or sleight-of-hand gimmicks, but rather the real deal.The same type of magic that only existed in fictional movies with characters seemingly doing the impossible with just the utterance of words and now he was about to be one of them.“Now that Dark Emblem has been informed of the Lord’s return and will be preparing to come for him, do you realistically think that you have enough time to teach him magic that would make a difference between winning or losing?” Reginald asked. Obadiah looked at Jeremiah from head to toe, placed his hand on his chin, groaned, and the

CHAPTER 142
Inside the Study, Reginald, who noticed that Jeremiah’s mind was elsewhere, asked him what he was doing. Jeremiah had actually been eavesdropping on David, wondering if he would say anything that would expose his involvement in the gas processing plant’s explosion and prove to Jeremiah that his suspicion was right. However, that didn’t happen and Jeremiah got annoyed that David stopped talking all of a sudden. From the last sentence Jeremiah heard David say before abruptly cutting himself off, he concluded that David knew he was onto him and was actively trying not to expose himself. Or perhaps it was just a coincidence, and Jeremiah was wrong about the whole thing—meaning David wasn’t involved in the explosion at all. There could only be one answer to the two possibilities, and time would reveal which one was correct because sooner or later, David was bound to slip up. All Jeremiah had to do was wait for that moment to come. Jeremiah replied “Nothing. I was just listening to wh

CHAPTER 141
David, looking at Jeremiah, blinked multiple times to emphasize his shock.Even though he had once thought that Jeremiah had joined hands with Dean and Adam to kill all the guards—after seeing the dismembered bodies when he escaped the plant—the fact that this was only an assumption and was never confirmed left him with some doubt that Jeremiah had ever gotten blood on his hands.That assumption quickly vanished after he heard about how Jeremiah saved everyone at the welcome ceremony from the Rubik's Cube bomb and even traveled a great distance to save him.However, when Jeremiah admitted outright that he had killed Dean—and went on to elaborate on how he did it—it sent a shock through David's body. He realized he might have been wrong about who Jeremiah had killed, but not about the fact that he had killed someone.‘So he really is a cold-blooded murderer’ David thought and gulped.Just then, David noticed something that felt concerning.He looked at Reginald and the three other men—

CHAPTER 140
David tried standing up but before he did, Kingston offered him a hand. David looked at Kingston’s hand but instead of accepting, he felt insulted. The fact that he had just heard that Jeremiah, his one competition for the throne, was a powerful being who could do whatever he wanted, made him feel weak and useless in comparison, and seeing Kingston’s hand annoyed the hell out of him.Still, he had to maintain composure.“No thanks. I can stand on my own” David said, feigning a smile.“As you wish, Sir” Kingston replied then retracted his hand and stood upright while David went on his feet and walked back to where he once was.“Are you okay?” Reginald asked.However, David, who was annoyed that Reginald felt it necessary to ask that question out of concern for his earlier reaction, forced a smile.“I am Uncle, so please, continue,” David said. Reginald looked at Jeremiah and said “You should also listen to what I’m going to say because it involves you as well” “Okay,” Jeremiah grim

CHAPTER 139
Reginald started by revealing the history of Crimson Fall to David, who at first was confused as to why he was telling him an old folk tale but soon realized why when Reginald told him the part that only the king and a select few knew. The moment David heard about reincarnation, his eyes widened, asking himself if such a thing existed.Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only bombshell he was going to hear as the story continued to unfold.Reginald told him that it was the Garrick family's mission to make sure that Lord Crimson, the powerful dragon who ruled over Crimson Fall for centuries, reincarnated and like that wasn’t enough, he gestured at Jeremiah and told him that Jeremiah was Lord Crimson, reincarnated.“I’m sorry what?” David asked, trying to make sure he wasn’t mishearing things. “You heard me right. Your cousin, who we all thought was dead, is our one true ruler. The all-powerful, Lord Crimson” Reginald said passionately. David’s eyes blinked multiple times as he looked at

CHAPTER 138
The boldness with which Jeremiah said “Yes, I did” demoralized David. It was like he was telling David that he didn’t regret what he did and was daring him to reprimand his actions. Knowing that he couldn’t lash out at Jeremiah for what he did, David had no choice but to gulp and accept what happened and move on— making him more mad because he hated being made to feel small and insignificant. “I’m sure you had your reasons but can you please tell me why you hurt my friends,” David asked, making sure to choose his words carefully so as not to sound like he was confronting Jeremiah. “Friends? I think you’re misunderstanding something, David.” Reginald said and David quickly looked at him, wondering what he was talking about. “Jeremiah didn’t hurt your friends but your friend. Only one person was hurt by his hands” Reginald clarified. David grimaced. He reflected on Reginald’s words and remembered that the king had said “friend” instead of “friends” when he revealed that the per

That’s right, he had completely forgotten about his punishment because of the night he had, but it’s a good thing Reginald was bringing it up now.What was his uncle going to say? Hopefully, something along the lines of, he had seen that David had learned his lesson and because of that he had decided to bring the punishment to an end. David thought and started smiling discreetly.“After the aftermath of the explosion at the welcome ceremony, I have decided that—“ Reginald said, but David cut him off.“Explosion at the welcome ceremony?! What explosion?” David asked and Reginald paused.“You haven’t heard about the explosion yet?” Reginald asked. “No, I haven’t. There was another explosion but at the welcome ceremony?” David replied.David had been so anxious to find out what Jeremiah knew about the gas processing plant explosion that he was tunnel-visioned from everything else. He had just gone to his room to freshen up, changed clothes, and then went to Reginald’s study for the mee

CHAPTER 136
After looking at everyone in the Study and seeing how they were staring at him— especially Jeremiah’s whose stare was like a predator’s to a prey— David, who realized that he was in a hot mess, thought of how to get away from the situation.How could he spin the story and change the narrative in his favor? He wondered and his brain started working at a million miles an hour in search of the answer.Soon enough, a thought came to his mind and he decided to go with it.David started chuckling, making everyone wonder why he was doing that.What did he find so funny?“Uncle, what gave you the impression that I knew about the explosion before it happened?” David asked.Reginald, who thought about the question, grimaced and adjusted how he sat.“Well, if I remember correctly, you were rambling about how we should leave the area and were adamant about it for a good minute before the building exploded, so I thought that your behavior was because you beforehand that the building was going to e

CHAPTER 135
Once inside the study, the first thing Jeremiah did was pause and groan when he saw David standing in front of the desk. Kingston, who was just as surprised as Jeremiah at the sight of David, jolted and asked “Sir David, you’re already here?”“Yes, he is. Truthfully, even I was surprised when he arrived before you two did, but for some reason, he seemed eager to have the meeting which I guess is a good thing because I have so much to ask him” Reginald said.David, who was trying his best to keep his cool and act normal, turned to Reginald and smiled. “I just wanted to tell Uncle what happened because I know how worried he was about my disappearance and maybe that will calm his mind a little,” David said.Reginald, who didn’t know the young man’s true motive and believed his words, smiled. He took David’s feigned concern for him as a sign of David changing and attributed it to the punishment he gave him working. Speaking of the punishment, what was going to happen now that the guard
