The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 181
Jeremiah and Lynette stood in front of everyone, oozing confidence and elegance which again was a contrast from before that stood out to all the maids who stared at them. When the maids had seen Lynette with Jeremiah the night before and during all the times they were together before the welcome ceremony, he exuded confidence and charisma, as he should, while she remained the shy maid. Now, it was understood because of who she was and who he was. However, that shyness seemed to have vanished into thin air. Yes, she had acted confident and unlike her usual reserved self when she and Elizabeth entered the throne room, but they hadn’t expected her to behave that way while standing next to Jeremiah, especially with Reginald also present. It seemed disrespectful to the two men with the most power and authority in the room and even the world at large. At least that’s what the maids felt. Still, they were curious as to where Lynette’s sudden confidence was coming from. Was it the
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 182
Speaking of the castle maid system, there wasn’t anything inherently wrong with the one that existed long before Lynette came to Crimsok Fall but the system she established afterwards was better suited for a goal she had. The goal was to ensure she remained close to Jeremiah—or more accurately, the vessel that housed Crimson—until his reincarnation was complete, all while keeping her true identity hidden.She crafted a different system that so effective and impressive it was chosen over the original without hesitation and since her goal was also going to be achieved, everyone involved ended up winning and getting what they wanted.Her system began by manipulating the mentality of the masses, turning service to the king—the vessel that housed Crimson’s essence—into a source of pride, creating an unrelenting desire to devote a portion of one’s life to serving the king and his castle.At the age of sixteen, girls would apply to be one of the anointed castle maids— emphasis on the anoint
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 183
All the maids left the throne room and returned to their duties which would give them the opportunity to wrap their heads around everything they were just told.As Reginald had stated at the start of the meeting, their worldview was going to and had been changed by the truth, so they needed a moment to breathe and adapt fully. “That was as good as it could have been,” Jeremiah said to Reginald who sat on the throne with a heavy and powerful sigh. “Yes it was and finally, the heavy load that my ancestors and I have carried for a very long time has been lifted off my chest,” Reginald said and Jeremiah smiled.Though there wasn’t a single mention of Dark Emblem during the entire truth-sharing session that just ended a couple of minutes ago, the things that were revealed were enough to satisfy Reginald’s guilty heart. Speaking of Reginald’s guilt, he felt none for keeping the truth about Dark Emblem close to the chest, deciding that there was no point in mentioning Dark Emblem in the n

“Why don’t I show you?”Those words resounded in not just Jeremiah’s but also the ears of everyone on the podium, hinting that they were about to experience something very interesting. Being their only link to the era when Lord Crimson was still active and had not yet reincarnated, Lynette possessed a wealth of information and experiences that only she could provide and it looked like they were about to get one of them.Unfortunately, it seemed like Lynette was only talking to Jeremiah so Reginald, Kingston, and Elizabeth wouldn’t be able to experience what she was talking about. Seeing the visible disappointment on their faces, minus Jeremiah’s, Lynette sighed.“You three can come too,” she said and they all jolted, not expecting her to say what she just did. Since she had only shown interest in Jeremiah, who was her fiancé and a mystical creature like her, the others had thought that Lynette didn’t care much for them, especially now that she knew who she really was.However, they

Jeremiah groaned. He observed Lynette intently, and she didn’t seem to be joking. That only made things more confusing because what she said made no sense. Then again, maybe it didn’t have to. After all, he was a mythical creature, something others considered nonsensical. So perhaps it did make sense, and he just hadn’t understood it yet.“Okay then. Please go ahead and bring out the room as you said” Jeremiah gestured, moving out of the way so she could get closer to the door. Standing by what she said, Lynette nodded and smiled confidently.She stepped forward while everyone watched what she was going to do closely. They especially focused on her hands which were void of any keys yet somehow she was about to open a door?Granted, the door didn’t have any keyholes either, so it would appear that she didn’t need a key. There must have been another way to open it—one that made perfect sense to her alone.Her confidence left no doubt that something unexpected was about to happen. The

As expected, it wasn’t an optical illusion that made the wall behind the door look like a room. It was, in fact, a real room that had appeared out of nowhere, and the ability to walk into it was proof of that.The others followed behind Jeremiah and they all entered the room. “It’s a very beautiful room, My Lady,” Elizabeth said, in awe of the room. Who would have thought that ancient designers were a lot better than those of the modern era who designed the interior of the other rooms in the castle? Elizabeth thought.“Thank you. The entire room is made of magic so I can change it however I want with just a thought” Lynette said then pointed her hand at one side of the room.“Just like that,” she said, and immediately that part of the room changed how it looked. Jeremiah furrowed his eyebrows.“How did you do that?” he asked. She looked at him and said “I just said how. Magic” He groaned.“Yes, I heard what you said, but I thought it’d take some time for your magic to return afte
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 187
A couple of minutes later, everyone had left Jeremiah’s room to go about their various businesses. Reginald resumed his kingly duties, with Kingston following him, while Lynette went on her stroll as she had said she would, and Elizabeth accompanied her.Jeremiah was the only one left in his new, amazing bedroom, which he couldn’t get enough of, as being able to manipulate it however he wanted was incredibly fun.He was on his massive bed when all of a sudden, his phone beside him began to ring.“Hmm,” Jeremiah groaned and looked at the phone, wondering who could be calling him.He reached for the phone, brought it to his face, and checked who the caller was. It was an unknown number.Jeremiah grimaced but then his face relaxed. “It must be her” he took a deep breath and sighed. He sat up, answered the call, and put it to his ear. “Hello,” Jeremiah answered. [“Good afternoon, your— I mean, Jeremiah. It’s me, Britney. You know, the girl from last night. The one who you—”] “I know
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 188
Jeremiah dropped his hand and phone on the bed and made a heavy sigh.“Three hours, huh?” Jeremiah said, realizing that it was a very long time to wait before the date but what’s done is done.He wondered what he should do within that time and an idea came to mind— to use that time to try and regain memories from his past self.Jeremiah closed his eyes, took a deep breath, calmed his nerves, and then sighed. Thanks to what Obadiah did in the greenhouse while testing his magic, his once-locked connection to his past had now been partially opened. So, if he focused hard enough, he could possibly recover some of his past memories like back then.All Jeremiah had to do was remember the feeling he had in the greenhouse when his memories were revealed to him and maybe something would come up. He didn’t know if it would work or not— mostly leaning on not— but he also had nothing else to do so why not give it a shot?“Alright, here we go,” Jeremiah said, concentrating as he tried to recall

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.
