The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 53
Jeremiah and David strolled to Reginald’s study and stood by the door, which, by the design, showed that it protected a room meant for the king. “Is this it?” Jeremiah asked, hands in his pockets as he looked up and down the door with intrigue.“That’s right. This is uncles— I mean your father's study,” David said, still finding it difficult to refer to Reginald as Jeremiah’s father.It was understandable because finding out that Reginald had a son was a very recent development and getting used to it would take some time. “Alright then,” Jeremiah said, gesturing that David should go ahead and knock on the door. Though he was going to do that anyway, David, who had always done what he wanted and, as such, didn’t like being made to feel like someone’s errand boy, grumbled discretely.He faced the door, took a deep breath, sighed, and then knocked.After a second, they heard “Who is it?” It was Reginald’s voice.“Uncle, it’s David,” David answered. There was silence and then footste

“What?!” David exclaimed as he sprung up from his chair. All he saw after hearing what Reginald said was red, and for a moment he had forgotten where he was and how to act. A few seconds later, he snapped back to his senses and calmed down. David looked at everyone in the room, all three of them staring at him with annoyance, and he realized just how much he had messed up. To think that he would lash out in front of and, more importantly, at the king like that. What a bad impression to give at a moment when he needed to give the best impression possible. “Sorry about that, uncle” David bowed his head and apologized. “Don’t just apologize to me. Apologize to both of them because you disrespected both of them too” Reginald instructed. David looked at Jeremiah and Kingston who were at his two sides then he cleared his throat and said “I sincerely apologize for my explosive and rude behavior” “Good, now sit,” Reginald said and David looked at him. “Thank you, uncle,” Da

David, who was left speechless by Jeremiah’s question, blinked many times in one second. “Son, what are you doing?” Asked Reginald who didn’t expect to hear the words that just came out of Jeremiah’s mouth.Why would Jeremiah even say that? He wondered.Didn’t Jeremiah know that as the reincarnation of the first king, he had to take up the kingship after he(Reginald) stepped down? Reginald thought.As a matter of fact, the moment Reginald realized that Jeremiah was the reincarnation of Lord Crimson, he started thinking about stepping down from the kingship the moment all of Jeremiah’s powers returned as he would finally be ready to lead the kingdom, so why on earth was he(Jeremiah) asking David such a question?Reginald was curious about Jeremiah’s thought process and wanted to know why he did what he just did.“I’m asking my cousin, who had worked hard and long for something he said he wants so badly, a very important question,” Jeremiah said and Reginald frowned. “But you know tha

‘Please, please, please, let this work,” David thought as he groveled at Jeremiah’s feet.If there was an award for the most desperate person on the planet, then David, for sure, was going to win it by a landslide.“Whatever you want, cousin Jeremiah, I promise that I’ll give it to you!” David said desperately and Jeremiah grimaced.“How can you, someone who is asking something of me, going to give me something I want in return?” Jeremiah asked, and David raised his head to look at him. “In case you haven’t noticed already, I don’t really need anything from anyone. I mean, do you think I would have asked you if you wanted to be the future king if I wanted anything?” Jeremiah said, and David’s eyes blinked rapidly.He realized just how stupid he was to have said what he did.What on earth could he even have hoped to give Jeremiah in return for handing the kingship over to him?Absolutely nothing.That just showed how desperate he was, making empty promises without even thinking over t
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 57
Hearts pounded in anticipation of what Jeremiah’s next sentence was going to be.The mix of emotions in the room was so palpable, it got too much for the extremely desperate David, and he interrupted Jeremiah before he could even speak.Although what he said was done in good faith as he wanted to give Jeremiah the confidence to trust in all the work he had put in and trust that he was right for the kingship, what he ended up doing was making things worse for himself.He said “Cousin, I assure you that I’ll be a good and kind king.” Immediately, Jeremiah froze. “A kind king, you say?” Jeremiah said, and the way he spoke made David blink multiple times.David reflected on what he had just said and realized how gravely he messed up.Jeremiah didn’t even have to say anything for him to know that yet again he had made a massive mistake. Here he was talking about being a kind king when the reason Jeremiah was in the study in the first place was to address the brutality of the punishment
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 58
Everybody looked at David, expecting him to shed more light on the strange suggestion he just made. What did he mean that Jeremiah should attend the One-hundredth-year anniversary of his university in Reginald’s stead when the king just finished thinking that he had shut down the topic a few sentences ago? “Uncle, as you said, cousin Jeremiah is your son who not only you but the entire world didn’t know existed for the longest time, so doesn’t it make sense to showcase him to the world in a spectacular manner?” David said then placed his hand on his chest and continued, “I think it’s a good idea, and what better way to accomplish that than utilizing the massive event that is the one-hundredth-year anniversary of my university next week?” Reginald groaned after hearing what David had to say. “I agree with you that the best decision to make concerning the handling of Jeremiah’s reappearance is to showcase him to the public in a spectacular and memorable fashion, but that’s what t
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 59
Without hiding a single detail, because he wasn’t David’s friend and as such had no reason to protect him, Jeremiah told Reginald everything that happened downstairs. From the altercation with Benson caused by his disgusting behavior toward Lynette to David’s disgraceful response to the whole incident, Jeremiah spilled everything to Reginald. Each time something about him was said, David felt like the ground should just open up and swallow him as the disappointed glances he got from Reginald made him want to disappear. He felt guilty, ashamed, and humiliated. “I believe that the way the servants are punished needs to be reevaluated. It can be too harsh, and something has to change,” Jeremiah said firmly. Reginald, who never expected to hear of any of that that late in the afternoon, groaned. To think that the second conversation he would have with Jeremiah on the same day of meeting him was going to be about his concerns for the wellbeing of the servants. What an utter s
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 60
Jeremiah and David left the study and once they were gone, Reginald and Kingston continued the conversation they were having before the interruption happened. “So, what did the Shaman say after reaching out to him?” Reginald asked.The Shaman from when Jeremiah’s mother, Lauretta, was pregnant had called Reginald not so long ago, but because he was busy at the time he had missed it.When Reginald eventually saw the missed call, he tried calling back but the Shaman didn’t answer.Knowing that the Shaman wouldn’t be calling without a good reason, especially considering the fact that it was on the same day he was reuniting with his long-lost son, Reginald made sure that he got in contact with the Shaman no matter what.He tasked Kingston with calling the Shaman’s number at regular intervals until he eventually answered and that’s exactly what happened.“He said that there is a possibility, although tiny, that Dark Emblem would attack tonight at the welcoming celebration for Young Master

CHAPTER 335
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
CHAPTER 330
[“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.
