Jeremiah looked at Jessica who had managed to steal everyone’s attention with her energetic arrival and sudden showcase of affection. She pulled away a bit to look at Jeremiah’s face. “You’re confused about who I am, aren’t you? Don’t worry, cousin, I’ll introduce myself quickly” Jessica said then let go of Jeremiah and stepped back.“My name is Jessica Garrick but those close to me call me Jess. I’m your lovely and beautiful younger cousin who’s seventeen years old but will be turning eighteen in a few weeks. I hope we can be close and be like siblings instead of cousins” Jessica said.“Jessica, what are you doing here?” David asked and Jessica looked at him. She saw how angry he was at her presence then she rolled her eyes and returned her focus to Jeremiah.“Don’t mind my busybody older brother. He’s the only person I wish didn’t call me Jess but you can if you want. Anyway, what’s going on here?” Jessica said then she looked at Bruce who was still worried about what Jeremiah wa

“You knew what I was about to do to your grandfather, so you came in under the guise of a lovable cousin to save him, doing everything you could to get me out of there. Am I wrong or right?” Jeremiah asked, and Jessica’s eyes widened.“After observing you for some time I could tell what you were really doing,” Jeremiah said.After a couple of seconds of silence, Jessica’s expression changed to one of awe.“No wonder uncle decided it was better for you to be the future king instead of my dumb older brother. But, if you knew what I was doing then why did you agree to go ahead with it and leave with me?” She said Jeremiah smirked.“You’re not the only one who thinks they’d like the other. I also had a feeling that we would get along so I wanted to let you have your way and after all that acting, I thought you deserved it” Jeremiah said and Jessica’s eyes blinked multiple times.“Besides, I didn’t really want to do anything to someone that old so in a way I too am grateful you did what y

“Young master Jeremiah?” Joyce, who stood next to Elizabeth, and the other maids said as they saw Jeremiah. They all continued climbing the stairs but at a faster pace until they got to Jeremiah, Jessica, and their two maids. “We’ve been looking for you, young master,” Elizabeth said then she looked at Christabel and said “Good job finding the young master”“Thank you, Headmaid” Christabel replied.“I’m glad we found you just in time because I was starting to think that wouldn’t be able to attend the funeral,” Elizabeth said to Jeremiah. “I had something to do this morning but I finished early and always planned on attending the funeral. Anyway, I’m here now so we can—“ Jeremiah said but then focused on the guard and grimaced.“Why are you here?” He asked. Elizabeth glanced at the guard, who, like Jessica, stood out as the odd one, then returned her gaze to Jeremiah and said, “Since we were worried you might be too busy to carry the body, I decided to bring him along to help us.”

“L-Lynette? Wait a minute, am I dreaming?” Joyce asked herself as she cleaned her eyes, wondering what hallucination was in front of her. She also wondered if she had eaten something bad that was causing her to see things she shouldn’t be seeing.There were so many questions but the fact that so many people were experiencing the same thing made them think that it might be real but how? That can’t be Lynette, could it?“Young master, what happened? The last thing I remember was going to get you a drink and now here I am, waking up on your bed and being naked with ashes all over me” Lynette said then adjusted the bedsheet around her chest so it didn’t fall.Just then, everyone’s reaction started making her feel self-conscious.“Why is everyone looking at me like that?” She asked, worried why they all seemed like they had seen a ghost.It was even more alarming with Jeremiah because he had always been calm so seeing him confused and scared unsettled her. “This has to be a dream, right?
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 162
Shocked by what she was watching, Elizabeth suddenly jolted back to her senses and looked at the guard standing next to her.“Quick! Go find the king and tell him about this!” She instructed, snapping the guard to his senses too.Because of how focused he was on Jeremiah and Lynette, the guard took a second to go over what Elizabeth told him as it resounded in his ears.“I said go tell the King what you saw here! Hurry!” The Headmaid exclaimed, causing the guard to jolt.“Alright, Headmaid Elizabeth!” The guard replied then he rushed out of there. Everyone watched Jeremiah talking to Lynette, who still seemed confused about what was going on but somehow still seemed like her usual self, then they saw him guiding her to the bed to sit down. They saw Lynette get apprehensive about sitting down on the bed because she thought she didn’t deserve to and their fear towards her dwindled a little.Nothing weird had happened so far so they thought that it was best to just observe and keep an
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 163
“So you really don’t remember anything after getting drinks for me besides waking up in my bed?” Jeremiah asked and Lynette nodded.“Well, I think I remember being in a strange building with someone in a suit but I’m not sure. I could have just imagined it” Lynette replied and Jeremiah pondered for a moment. Lynette was most likely talking about the gas processing plant building and if that was the case then the person with her had to have been Adam. Extracting further, she must have regained her consciousness for a split second to see her environment before something happened to cause her to black out again. Thinking logically and lining up events to match what she said, Jeremiah came to a conclusion. Killing Dean must have lifted the mind-control spell he put on Lynette which allowed her to see her environment for a split second before the building exploded, killing her and Adam or at least killing Adam as she was back to life. Strange. At least now Jeremiah knows that a way t

A couple of seconds later, everyone started hearing the sound of running water from the shower.Immediately, all the ladies standing outside looked at Jeremiah.“Young Master. Can we talk” Elizabeth said and Jeremiah looked at all of them by the door. He walked over to the door, crossed his arms, and said “What do you want to tell me?”“I’ve called for your father so if he’s not here in the next couple of minutes, he should send a message on what to do about… well, you know,” Elizabeth said and Jeremiah groaned. What Elizabeth did was the right move because as the only other person there who knew that Lynette’s resurrection was most likely the result of magic, having Reginald seek help from Obadiah was the only way to get to the bottom of what happened. Who decided that it was a good idea to use magic to bring Lynette back to life? How did they do it and most importantly, why? Was all things the shaman could help them find out.“Okay, but I doubt my father would come here himself s

“You remember how the last thing you remember from the welcome ceremony was getting me a drink and then you blacked out?” Jeremiah asked and she nodded. “Well, you came in contact with some bad people who kidnapped you,” Jeremiah said and all the maids, minus Elizabeth, widened their eyes. Elizabeth was the only maid in the entire estate who knew the truth of what happened at the welcome ceremony and finding out the truth shocked the others. “Kidnapped? Me?” Lynette mumbled. “Yes, but that’s not important right now,” Jeremiah said.What did he mean her being kidnapped wasn’t important? What else could be more important than that?If Jeremiah hadn't been the one telling her that then she would have interrupted the person and asked them to give more details about her kidnapping, but she couldn’t. She just had to sit there and listen to the rest of what he was going to say. “You were taken elsewhere and I was able to track you down and take care of your kidnappers…” Jeremiah said an

One week later, Jeremiah leaned back against a cherry-red and gold Bugatti Veyron, the glint of the city lights dancing along its sleek curves. His tailored obsidian suit clung perfectly to his frame, his silver tie fluttering slightly in the evening breeze. The engine purred beneath the hood like a beast waiting to be unleashed. He glanced at the time on his wristwatch, a sly smile creeping across his face as the apartment door opened.He looked up.And there she was.Victoria emerged in a stunning midnight-blue dress that shimmered with every step. Her curls bounced as she descended the stairs, and Jeremiah couldn’t help but admire the moment like it was a scene from a movie.“Hurry up, we’re going to be late,” he said, a playful edge in his voice.“I’m coming!” she replied, hurrying her pace before she reached him—and planted a kiss on his lips that made the world pause for a second.“When’s he popping the question again?” she asked, at the same time telling him that maybe he was r

“The Leader?” Jeremiah asked with a grimace, the name tasting like ash on his tongue.“That’s right,” the being declared, his voice echoing like a god’s judgment through the twisted air. “I *am* the Leader—and this is my dimension. Here, I rule as supreme.”Jeremiah’s eyes narrowed. “And that name you called me—Bazar’q Omàrin? Why?”The Leader tilted his head slightly, a cruel smirk tugging at his lips. “Because that is your name. Not this watered-down nonsense—Crimson, Jeremiah—names handed to you by humans who never knew your truth. You were Bazar’q Omàrin, once the high sovereign of the mighty Oxyl Dimension... until it all turned to ash.”Jeremiah’s fists clenched as a dull pain throbbed in his temples. “And how do you know that? How do you know *me*?”The Leader's grin stretched, eyes flickering with malevolence. “Because, you banished me to hell!”With that roar of hatred, he surged forward in a blur, his fist crashing into Jeremiah’s ribs with the force of a meteor. The impact

‘Where is he? The one who started all of this?’ Jeremiah’s thoughts were a storm as he tore through the sky in a vicious, high-speed duel against the nine-winged skeletal wyvern. His golden eyes flicked through the blood-red horizon, desperate to catch even a glimpse of Grey Lucian. Since the chaos began, Grey had vanished—eerily absent. The longer Jeremiah failed to find him, the more unease spread like rot in his gut.But the demonic wyvern wasn’t giving him the luxury of distraction.Every flap of the beast’s bony, mana-wrought wings whipped up cyclones of cursed wind. Each strike came fast, lethal, and relentless. Dodging them required all of Jeremiah’s focus—there was no room for error, no space to think about Grey, or even the cultists scattered across the battlefield, who were clearly summoning something catastrophic. The thick, malevolent mana surging from their positions felt like an omen of ruin.For just one heartbeat, Jeremiah’s mind slipped—and it was one too many.The w
CHAPTER 323
The battlefield plunged into eerie silence. Even the screaming winds beneath the dome seemed to hold their breath.Jeremiah stood at the center of it all, his dragonoid form casting a monumental silhouette against the warped sky. His scales shimmered with hues of black, red, and gold, glowing like molten metal in the dome’s unnatural twilight. Wings unfurled behind him like the banners of a god of war, stretching high and wide, stirring the air with every twitch.Mages, scattered across the estate in strategic lines, froze. The resurrection magic that had reanimated their fallen held no expression, no breath—just cold bodies awaiting orders. All of them stared at him, at the beast who had tanked a god-killing spell and still stood.Jeremiah’s molten eyes locked onto the mages who had conjured the lightning-fire hybrid spell. There was no mercy in his gaze. Only retribution.He leapt forward.The impact of his takeoff split the ground behind him, sending fragments of earth skyward and
CHAPTER 331
The sky darkened unnaturally, casting an eerie twilight over the estate. Jeremiah looked up as the last arc of shadow joined with the rest, sealing them inside a massive black dome. It shimmered with power, humming low like a monstrous heartbeat. The siege had begun.He turned to Lynette. “It’s begun.”“Yes,” she said quietly, eyes locked on the sky. “It has.”Jeremiah glanced down at the box in his hand. Obadiah’s head, expression frozen in death, stared back at him. The man had been a teacher, a guide, a rock of wisdom. And now he was gone. Murdered.“I’m sorry this happened to you, teacher,” Jeremiah murmured, his voice a low promise. “But on your behalf, I’ll make those fuckers pay.”With grim reverence, he set the box down. Then he and Lynette walked toward the convoy, where confusion had begun to blossom into panic.A chorus of murmurs rose as everyone saw the sky had changed. The dome wasn’t just a covering — it was alive. Pulsing. Feeding something.“What the hell is this?” th

[“How? The gate is—“] the driver of the first car asked but went silent to his surprise the gate suddenly opened. [“But how?!”] the driver asked in a panic.Jeremiah had used wordless magic to unlock and open the gate.[“Don’t worry about it and just keep driving”] Steven interjected, stopping the driver beside him from thinking too much into what happened.Because this security detail was provided by the city of Bakers View and not of the Garrick Royal estate, they didn’t know about Jeremiah’s real identity as Lord Crimson or that magic existed. That was why Steven stopped the driver beside him from asking questions and just moved things along. [“Okay, Captain”] the driver reluctantly said and then hit the gas, leading the cars into the estate. All the while, the third car which hadn’t been connected through the channel didn’t know what was really going on. Second after second, the cars got closer to Jeremiah’s house and when they got there everything looked perfectly fine, surpr
CHAPTER 329
Jeremiah weighed his options and came to a final decision on which path to take. “We should go back” he declared. “Go back? As in back to the house?” Reginald asked, an intrigued look on his face.“Yes, back to the house” Jeremiah replied matter-of-factly.“Why?” Reginald inquired.“Though I wish you weren’t here, I honestly feel better with you or should I say Lynette by my side rather than elsewhere where y’all can be attacked by who knows how many enemies, and she, for whatever reason, dies because remember, a single temporary death from hers means you’re gone, forever,” Jeremiah said and Reginald groaned as he reflected on every word.“Alright then. I guess we’re going back” Reginald replied. He then looked at the driver and said “Tell the front car that we’re going back to the apartment”“As you wish, Your Majesty” the driver replied, clearly not on board with the decision because he had picked up on signs of there being a problem and would prefer if they left the city— meanin

Obadiah chuckled.[“I think you underestimate me, young master. But, if you want to know then I found it because of the relic I gave you. You know the one that lets us communicate? Well, you’re able to track the other twin if you have your hand on one and know the right spell”]Jeremiah groaned.“You didn’t tell me it could do that,” he said.[“I apologize, young master. It must have skipped my mind”]“Is that so? Alright then. I’ll head back to the house with Dad and everyone else” Jeremiah said.[“That’ll be great, young master. I’ll be waiting for all four of you”] Jeremiah groaned. “Alright then. Bye,” he said and then ended the call. Looking at him, Reginald asked “So we’re going back to your house to speak with the shaman? I wonder what he wants to talk to us about”“Nothing. He doesn’t want to speak to us about anything” Jeremiah said as he stuffed his phone into his pocket while Reginald grimaced.“He doesn’t? How do you know that?” Reginald asked. With a frown, Jeremiah s

“I’m sure the young master and his majesty are discussing something important which is why we haven’t moved yet” Kingston reassured. “It’s not about the lack of movement that has me exasperated. I came to this city to spend time with Jeremiah and I haven’t even done that. If we travel back so quickly it would mean that this trip was a complete letdown.” She said. Kingston groaned.“So what do you want to do, Lady Lynette?” Kingston asked “Being the young master’s fiancé, you’re just as influential as he is to those who know the truth. So much so that the artificial intelligence back at the house obeyed your instruction when it wouldn’t have for anyone else besides the young master” Lynette groaned, reflecting on Kingston’s question that asked her what she wanted to do.“Since you’ve already linked yourself and Master Reginald together, you’ve basically protected him from all forms of harm for the next thirty-nine years, so you don’t have to follow us back home if you don’t want to.
