The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! 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

[“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

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

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.

The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 1
"Where the hell is my rent, Jeremiah?!" Inside the poorly furnished living room of a one-bedroom apartment, the elderly landlord and his son glared at a young man who had tape, ribbons, and pieces of popped balloons all over his body. "But, Mister Owens, my rent hasn't expired yet and you know that. I still have a week until I have to renew, so why are you hassling me for it like this?" Jeremiah Garrick said with a confused look on his face.The landlord frowned."Did you forget that I gave you a one-week extension when you didn't have the money on time last month? That extension means that you owe me a week and I'm deducting it from the one you have left which means your rent expires today!" Jeremiah's eyes widened."That's not fair! You can't just decide to do something like that without first informing me about it. Even if my wife and I go around town and start begging everyone we see, it'll be impossible to make the rent within the amount of time you're giving me" Jeremiah comp
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 2
Jeremiah couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was like he was stuck in a nightmare and no matter how hard he tried, he wasn't able to wake up. On closer inspection, he realized that the man who was making love to his wife was none other than his former boss and owner of the Ludwig resort, Mr. Paul Ludwig. "What was that—?" Mary asked as she told Paul to hold on a moment and then checked what caused the noise she heard. To her surprise, she saw Jeremiah staring at her infidelity with grief in his eyes, and her mood immediately soured. "What are you doing here, Jeremiah?!" Mary asked angrily as she quickly got out from under Paul and covered herself with the bedsheet. "Mary, how could you do this to me?" Jeremiah sniffled. "Weren't we supposed to be celebrating our anniversary at home, so why are you here, in bed with Mister Paul?" Tears fell down Jeremiah's eyes. “Who the hell are you and how did you get in here?” Paul frowned at Jeremiah. “It’s my useless husband, that’s w

Jeremiah spent a whole ten minutes lying on the ground, not being able to believe that in less than a couple of minutes he had lost the only person that made him happy. "What do I do now? All the years I put into our relationship, trying my best to make her happy was all for nothing. If only I wasn’t a nobody who couldn’t afford to give her what she wanted—" Jeremiah said but was interrupted when his phone started ringing. "Who the hell is it this time?" Jeremiah grumbled and decided to ignore the call. After a few seconds, the call ended but then the phone started ringing again. Jeremiah got angry that the caller couldn’t take the hint to not call back. He sat up and took out his phone from his pocket so he could terminate the call. He was about to hit the terminate button but looked at the caller ID and his eyes widened. He quickly changed tunes and, instead, swiped to answer the call then he put the phone on his ear. "Good evening, nurse Victoria! I hope everything is alri
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 4
Jeremiah, who tried to cope with what he just heard, chuckled. “I’m sorry, doctor, but I don’t think I heard you properly. You said my mother is what—?“ Jeremiah said, trying his best to trick himself into not believing what Doctor Gabriel told him. Unfortunately, the sad expressions he saw on the doctor's and Nurse Victoria’s faces made it hard. "Doctor Gabriel, please stop joking,” Jeremiah said and then looked at Nurse Victoria beside him. "My mom is fine so tell Doctor Gabriel to stop lying to me. Please" Jeremiah pleaded but all he got from the nurse was the look of pity. "I'm sorry Mister Jeremiah, but as I said, her body was just too weak for the severity of the heart attack. Please accept my condolences" Doctor Gabriel lowered his head to Jeremiah. Jeremiah's eyes widened when the realization of his mother’s death finally sank in. Confused and lost about what to do, he looked at the Doctor and didn’t know what to say back. “I know this doesn’t ease your pain but

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.

Jeremiah looked at his father, silently asked him if he was ready and Reginald silently answered. He sighed, grabbed the lid of the casket, opened it and there his mother was, looking peaceful and beautiful as she rested.Both Reginald and Jeremiah almost cried but they controlled their emotions. “Your mortician friend really did a great job. Lauretta looks better than I would have imagined” Reginald said, a dejected smile on his face.“Yeah,” Jeremiah sighed. “Alright, let’s do this”He placed his hands on the casket, closed his eyes, and said his final goodbyes in his mind then opened his eyes again. “Are you satisfied?” Reginald asked after seeing the change in Jeremiah’s eyes. He looked resolved.“Yes, I am. I’ll give you some privacy so you can say what is it you want” Jeremiah told Reginald.“Thank you, son” Reginald replied and Jeremiah nodded.Jeremiah walked away, going to meet Kingston and Lynette and telling them to give the king the space he needed to say his final words

They walked to the door where Steven was standing guard and he wanted to open it for them, but it was locked, so Jeremiah told Charlie to unlock the door which she did.Steven opened the door and as the three walked through, Jeremiah told Charlie to shut everything down because they were leaving.Everything in the house was shut down and as Steven, who was the last to exit the house closed the door, it automatically locked behind him. The five also exited the compound, walked through the gate, and rejoined with the convoy. Taking charge, as always, Steven got the convoy ready for departure and everyone entered their various cars and drove off.A minute into the drive to the estate’s gate, Jeremiah got a call from Emmanuella.He answered. [“We’re on our way to the funeral site, sir”]“Same here. Get everything ready as you should and we’ll be seeing you there” Jeremiah replied and the call ended. A few minutes later, the convoy arrived at the funeral site and already waiting for th

Everyone came out of the cars and while the security detail waited outside, Jeremiah, Lynette, Reginald, Kingston, and Steven went into the house.“Welcome back, Master Jeremiah” Charlie greeted the moment Jeremiah, who was in front of everyone because he had to unlock the door, walked through it.“Thank you, Charlie. I brought some guests.” Jeremiah said as the four behind him also entered the house.“This is my father, our family’s butler, Kingston, and…” Jeremiah looked at Lynette, wondering how he should introduce her while she smiled, waiting to hear what he would say.“And my friend, Lynette. Charlie is the home’s Artificial Intelligence that helps me run things” Jeremiah ended and Lynette’s expression changed.“Friend? You mean your fiancé?” She said, crossing her arms in annoyance.“Fiancé? I didn’t know Master Jeremiah had a girlfriend and a fiancé” Charlie said, confused.“Huh? A girlfriend?” Lynette was taken aback. Meanwhile, Reginald and Kingston who both weren’t expecti
