The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 164
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

A couple of minutes later. Inside the throne room was Reginald, who sat on the throne like the king he was, Kingston, who stood by his right-hand side, and Obadiah, who stood at the base of the stairs leading to the podium that the throne was on. Unlike Reginald and Kingston who were both okay and had no problem being there, the shaman seemed quite tired and was doing his best to stand. Standing by the walls were the guards, as usual, and in the throne room everyone was quiet, looking like they were waiting for someone. Like the devil, that said someone made their appearance. The guards stationed at the doors opened them, revealing Jeremiah whose presence instantly shifted the atmosphere, commanding attention and altering the room's very tone. Jeremiah strode into the room as the doors closed firmly behind him. Without hesitation, he advanced to the front, where Reginald, Kingston, and Obadiah awaited him in silence. “Good morning, My Lord” Reginald greeted. “Good morning, F
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 167
Everyone in the room looked at Obadiah.“A phoenix?” Reginald asked then he looked at Jeremiah “My Lord, do you believe in this too?”The sentence is grammatically correct but could be polished for clarity and flow. Here's an improved version: "Considering what I am, it's not far-fetched to think there might be other creatures who came to this world, either from the same place as me or from somewhere else. But yes, I believe my teacher is right," Jeremiah said. Reginald rested his back on the throne with a sigh.“But if she is the being who was contained in the egg you saw in the memory from your past then how exactly is she here now?” Reginald asked, confusion written all over his body. “As you know, My Lord, you first came out of your egg as a dragon and you’re only in your human form because of the reincarnation, but what about her?” Reginald raised a great question: Was it that unlike a dragon, a Phoenix comes out of its egg as a human and Lynette was just coming out of her e
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 168
“I have a question,” Jeremiah said and everyone focused on him, trusting that whatever he asked would be thoughtful and important.“What about her memories?” Jeremiah asked and Obadiah grimaced.“Memories? I apologize, My Lord, but I don’t fully understand the question,” Obadiah said. Jeremiah sighed and came up with a better way to convey his question, making sure that it was clear and easy to understand. He said, “If Lynette really is like me and had come out of the egg I saw in my past memories, she must have recognized me from the past and known that I’m Lord Crimson when she saw me. However, all through the moments I had spent with her on the estate, I didn’t get the impression that she knew who I really am as the reincarnation of Lord Crimson and was pretending not to” Kingston groaned, drawing attention.“I had known her for years, even she became one of Elizabeth’s protégés, but not once did it seem like she was hiding any secret as big as this,” Kingston said, making every

Jeremiah watched Lynette and Elizabeth walk to the front of the throne room where he and Obadiah were, all the while staring at Lynette and trying to wrap his head around why she seemed different yet so familiar.“What’s the meaning of this, Elizabeth?” Kingston asked then he looked at Lynette and grimaced. He too had noticed that something was off about her. For starters, she didn’t seem as shy or timid as how every maid on the estate act when they are in his or, most especially, Reginald’s presence. Kingston groaned then focused his attention of Elizabeth once more.“Who gave you the permission to interrupt a meeting between Master Reginald and young master Jeremiah and bring one of you protégés?” Kingston asked. Elizabeth quickly bowed her head to Reginald— her body trembling.“My apologies, your majesty! It was never my intention to interrupt your meeting like this—“ she said but Kingston cut her off.“Good intentions or not, it doesn’t change the fact that you did what you did
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 170
Hearing what Lynette had just said, Reginald, Kingston, and Obadiah—who remained silent—were all relieved yet shocked that their hypothesis was correct. Granted, Jeremiah had been the one to come up with the hypothesis, but they had all believed in it.Now, this revelation brought about even more questions they struggled to articulate, especially since Lynette was no longer the maid they once held authority over.As a being very similar to what Jeremiah was, Lynette—who had existed for centuries—didn’t have to answer to anyone if she chose not to, and her behavior so far, speaking to the king and Kingston like regular people, made that abundantly clear.“Even I was confused when she woke from her rest and claimed she used to be close friends with Lord Crimson before his reincarnation. At first, I wondered how that could be possible, given that Lord Crimson’s reincarnation took place centuries ago. But the honesty and conviction in her words made me curious to know if she was telling t
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 171
After watching Lynette and Elizabeth leave the throne room and the door get closed, the four men who were once having a meeting before being interrupted, returned to that. “I never would have guessed that what just happened would happen when we started this meeting a couple of minutes ago, but I’m extremely happy that it did” Reginald said and Jeremiah groaned.“His Majesty is right, My Lord," Obadiah said, making Jeremiah look at him. "With Miss Lynette's knowledge of the past and her claim of having taught you not just a simple magic spell but the most complex and powerful one in the world, she will be of greater help to your growth in magic than I ever could."Jeremiah thought about what the shaman said and grimaced.“You’s right, she might— no, she will be of greater help to my magic training than you can.” Jeremiah said, making Obadiah to smile prematurely. “But, she also said that it will take a while for her powers to come back after she’d resurrected for the first time in a l

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
CHAPTER 334
“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
CHAPTER 333
‘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
CHAPTER 329
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.
