The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 214
Jeremiah drove to the Crimson Fall’s Royal Mall as fast as he could and because he was on a motorcycle he had very few obstructions on the way there that a conventional car would have.He could go through tighter openings, allowing him to overtake a lot of cars that would have blocked his way and slowed him down if he had driven a car.Using his heightened sense of hearing and sight, he was able to drive without fear of incoming vehicles when speeding past junctions and traffic lights.He was also able to know when he was coming close to a police car that would track his speed and know that he was breaking the speed limit, so he would slow down just in time and pass them then hit the throttle once more. Due to all of that, Jeremiah was able to get to the mall at the same moment Britney’s Uber was parking in front of the location, making it seem like he wasn’t just coming from a very far distance.“Jeremiah?” Britney said, watching Jeremiah park the motorcycle and turn off the engine.
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 215
Britney’s eyes widened as she was surprised by the question but then she returned them to normal and smiled. “So you noticed, huh” she said.“Yes, I did. So, is there anything you want to tell me?” He asked. “Well, the truth is that I didn’t know whether to call you by your name or by your highness,” Britney said and Jeremiah grimaced. “I couldn’t get the fact that your last name is Garrick— the same last name as the king— off my mind, so when I got home last night I did a little digging and realized that you’re related to the king” Jeremiah groaned.“What do you mean by digging?” He asked, confused because there hadn’t been any public mention of him being related to Reginald as the bombing at the welcome ceremony stopped it, so what was she talking about?“I used to want to be one of the castle maids when I turned sixteen, so just like the thousands of girls my age back then, I studied as much about the Royal Family as I possibly could. I also collected research materials and amon
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 216
After Britney’s Uber had driven far enough to vanish from Jeremiah’s sight, he walked to his motorcycle, got on it, and drove back home— the castle. Now that he wasn’t in a hurry like he had been when he drove to the Crimson Fall’s Royal Mall for his date with Britney, Jeremiah took his time on the way back home—enjoying every moment as the wind blew against his face.Finally arriving at the gate, he blared his horn and the gatekeeper went out to see him.“My Lord!” the gatekeeper bowed his head the moment he saw Jeremiah.“Please open the gate for me. Thanks” Jeremiah said as the gatekeeper raised his head.“Of course, my Lord,” the gatekeeper said then rushed into his station and opened the gate.A few seconds later, the automated gates slid open and Jeremiah drove in, heading straight to the parking lot where he parked the motorcycle and walked to the castle. Immediately he stepped inside the castle, Jeremiah sensed that something was off. There was a little shift that wasn’t th
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 217
Just as Jeremiah got into the shower to take a shower, he received a call from Britney, who as promised wanted to tell him that she had gotten home safely. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to answer the call or even hear the phone ring because of the running water. So, Britney left him a voice message about what she wanted to tell him and then wished him good night. Jeremiah came out of the bathroom, feeling fresh with his damp towel wrapped around his waist, and just as he was about to get dressed, his eye caught that his phone screen was awake. He went to the bed to check and saw that he had one voice message from Britney. He listened to it, smiled, and messaged her that he had gotten her voicemail. Then he dressed and that was it for the day. The next day came along and Jeremiah visited Obadiah to check how his teacher was doing. Compared to the day before, the shaman’s energy had rejuvenated quite nicely. However, there was still some more recouping he had to do before it wo
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 218
Within that same three days, Obadiah’s energy and magic went back to full capacity and he terminated the Secrecy Spell he cast on all the estate’s workers as none of them broke their promise to keep the truth a secret.Jeremiah also spent a lot of time with Lynette who initiated most of it and told him so many stories about the past that he was impressed by. As for Christabel’s jealousy, she had no choice but to back down and abandon any hope of getting as close to Jeremiah as she desired because he was engaged to Lynette. Not that it would have made a difference if he wasn’t engaged because he simply didn’t find her that attractive, despite her being the most beautiful maid in the estate now that Lynette was no longer one.Everything and everyone in the estate remained fine as the days passed, and finally, the moment of truth arrived—testing Jeremiah’s magic to see if all of Obadiah’s efforts had paid off.Jeremiah had a good breakfast and then met up with Obadiah in the greenhouse.
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 219
Obadiah started the spell and so far so good, what happened last time didn’t repeat itself.Jeremiah didn’t get bombarded with memories of his past life while his eyes were closed and he experienced the passage of time normally— as he should. The only thing that was similar to the last time they did this was that he felt something rising in his core— a warm feeling.“Can you hear me, young master?” Obadiah asked while still casting the spell.“Yes, teacher, I can” Jeremiah replied.“You’re going to feel something deep within and when you do—“ Obadiah said but Jeremiah cut him off.“I already do… feel it I mean,” Jeremiah said.“Good. Good. That’s your mana core. It’s where your magical energy is stored and from what I can feel, it’s going to be extremely massive even at its base level. It’s going be far more superior than anything a human like me can have naturally”Emphasis was on the word “naturally” as there was a way to increase a mage’s core size and strength and that was throug

“Alright, young master. Try using your core now” Obadiah said as he stood up and placed his hand on Jeremiah’s back. “Okay, teacher” Jeremiah replied, and then he did just that.He focused on his mana core and tried contracting it like he would contract his muscles— hoping that it would work.“That’s it, young master. Just like that” Obadiah said and Jeremiah smiled, happy that what he did was working. Slowly, Obadiah filtered through the energy Jeremiah’s core produced as he tried identifying the types of magic he could use— or in other words, his mana affinity.Normally, a mage is proficient in two— sometimes three— types of magic. Then there are the basic spells that all mages can do— no matter the mana affinity. However, because of the human sacrifices Dark Emblem members make, they are able to do spells that normal mages cannot. An example of this is the Implosion magic that Adam loved to use.There are some gifted mages like Obadiah who was proficient in four types of magic,

“What do you mean, teacher?” Jeremiah asked.“Grey was hungry for power, beyond what my teaching could ever give him— even in the wicked environment that was Dark Emblem. He started to learn on his own and soon enough he caught up to me in terms of strength but he still wasn’t satisfied” Obadiah said and Jeremiah grimaced in confusion. “But how was that possible?” Jeremiah asked.“What do you mean, young master?” Obadiah asked back.“You have four mana affinities so how could Grey have caught up to you in strength?” He asked. “Remember when I said I’ve only ever met one person in my life, besides you, who had the same amount of mana affinity as me?” Obadiah asked and Jeremiah’s eyes widened.“Wait. Grey was the other person?!” “That’s right, young master” Obadiah nodded his head. “The upside of having a higher number of mana affinity is that it allows you to hone your magic skills faster than other mages—which is why I’m where I am in the ranking of powerful mages. Now, that doesn

“Crimson is in Bakers View?” One of the silhouettes, colored orange said and the others turned to it. “That’s very interesting. Tell us how your encounter went down” The other silhouettes returned their gaze to Grey and waited to hear the story he was going to give— a tale that was very important because it involved their organization’s greatest enemy. Grey went ahead to give the details of how he encountered Jeremiah— doing so in a succinct manner. From their meet-up at the auction house to their altercation behind the Mercury Jewels Jewelry store after Jeremiah had figured out his identity. Every detail gave them a better understanding of who they were messing with. “So there was a relic out there that could counteract your mind control and illusion spells,” said the black silhouette. “That’s insane, considering the fact that you are the most powerful member of Dark Emblem when it comes to mind control and most especially illusion spells,” said the white silhouette. Gre
CHAPTER 307
Grey drove all the way to a very expensive hotel somewhere in the city. He parked in front of the entrance and the valet stationed there rushed to the car to greet him. However, instead of waiting outside for him to come out, the valet grabbed the driver-door and opened it for him.“Welcome back, Master Grey” the valet greeted, bowing his head with a massive smile on his face. Grey acted like nothing was said to him— his face unbothered and emotionless as turned his body, indicating that he wanted to step out. “My apologies, Master Grey” The valet moved out of the way, giving Grey the space to step out of the car— which he did. “I hope you had a wonderful outing, Master Grey,” the valet said but was ignored as Grey walked past him. But, from how the valet looked, it didn’t seem like Grey’s behavior affected or deterred him from wanting to please the powerful Dark Emblem mage more.The valet faced the interior of the car and had wanted to enter but saw the portrait and box in whic
CHAPTER 306
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
