The Black Card System Chapter Eighty Nine
The next day, Charles got ready for the meeting he was to have with his father, so he can get all his documents, transferred to him.He walked down to the sitting room, and found James sipping a pineapple juice while waiting for him.“Alright, alright, I’m here. Let’s leave. You’re with the court order, right?” Charles asked, to confirm.“Yes.” James responded firmly as he stood up.Charles nodded his head, and then they both walked out to his car, with his bodyguards, joining in.“Sir, you look really good, today.” Charles’ driver complimented with a happy smile.Charles chuckled, and smacked his lips. “Thank you, John.” He appreciated him, and then leaned backwards on the car seat.They drove off to one of Mr. Lincoln’s companies, and his secretary allowed Charles and James, in, because she recognized Charles, and also knew what he was here for.“Please go in, sir.” She urged, politely.“Thank you.”Charles and James went in, and met a not surprised Mr. Lincoln, and his lawyer, sitt

Mrs. Penny sat down, waiting for the people she had called, to get here. Soon, a doorbell rang, and she instructed a maid to get the door.Just as she expected, it was the gang whom she had spoken to on the phone that just got here. They were all dressed in black. The leader wore a black suit, and nice shoes to complement it, while the others wore other kind of outfits, but were black.“It’s so nice to finally have a business to do with you, Mrs. Adam.” The leader said as he moved closer to her, and extended his hand for a handshake.“So, you have been hoping to have business with me.” Mrs. Adam replied, and signaled for him to have his seat.“Yes, of course. My boys and I were really delighted to have your call. And we’ll ensure that we’ll sweep you off your feet once we get a hold of the work you want us to venture in.” The leader assured, with a smile.“Oh, I see. My interest is getting piqued, already. Allow my maid to serve you chilled juice, and then we’ll get right to work.” Mr

Mr. Lincoln sat on a sofa in his living room bent forward, elbows on his knees and fingers clasped in front of his nose, thinking hard. He hadn't been himself since the trial with Charles. Although he hated to think about it, he just couldn't help feeling the sting all over.The shame seemed to renew every damn hour. It was expected to have dimmed and reduced but it was still there burning deep into his bones and bothering him. How could that jerk have managed it so quickly? It made him look like a fool. He had been caught in his lies within the first twenty minutes and couldn't defend himself. Tyson had made things even more embarrassing by going to fight Charles. Although he understood where his son's anger was coming from but the fact that Charles' bodyguard had handled him roughly stung hard. "Why's the whole mood this way?" Carlos asked as he slammed the jug of milk he was holding onto the dining table behind which he was about to sit. "We haven't lost yet! We're still going to

The next day, Charles woke up to the lovely humming sounds of the birds. He sat up, and stared at his phone’s to-do-list. He was ready to do what he had to do. Then he dialed both James’ and Vera’s number, telling them to come over to his house for a meeting. In an hour, they both got to his house, and he walked downstairs to meet with them.“Good morning. I called you here for a meeting regarding my new business idea.” Charles revealed calmly.“Whoa. That’s really amazing. A new business idea is exciting.” James spoke out, with composed excitement.“I know right? I have actually had this idea for a while now, but this is the right time to actually work on it, before I continue dealing with those annoying people.”“Okay, so what do you need us to do to make this work, and come alive?” vera questioned, with her notepad, and pen in her hand.“Alright, I need people that are into robotics stuff. People who love tech stuff, you know. So, Vera, I’ll need you to publicize that, and the mee

“So, Mr. Lincoln, we have as many buildings as you want, but their prices are no longer the same as last week. They have kind of increased.” The manager informed, holding the catalogue.“Alright then. Please show me your catalogue.” Charles requested politely.The manager passed the catalogue to James and James gave it to Charles. Charles went through the catalogue, and was quite pleased with the different buildings he saw there.“Well, if their prices are now hiked, I believe they are all worth it.” Charles spoke, nodding his head in satisfaction.Then his eyes caught a perfect building which he felt he could use for his tech company. Then he checked the price, and it was a whooping sum of 5 billion dollars.Charles thought about how he could get that amount. It was possible if he removed the money from all his accounts. He had made several investments recently, and most of his money, gone.“Alright, I’ll take this one. My manager here, will bring it in cash once I withdraw it from t

Angẹla watched Charles expression change from a blank one to one of shock. His eyes went as wide as apples and he grabbed his phone with his second hand as though he couldn't see properly. Then he blinked serverally and his eyes went everywhere in disbelief. Angela smiled. Seeing Charles clearly experiencing a bad situation was thrilling. So he also could make that expression on his proud face. He stood from his seat and left immediately and Angela's eyes followed after him. What did he see to throw him so off-balance? Then she realized she was wasting time and she actually had the opportunity she needed. She looked around, wondering if the maid was still somewhere in sight and when she saw the maid wasn't, her hands flew to her bag, prying it open and searching frantically for the poison."You should have kept it somewhere unique." She muttered to herself as her head whipped all around frantically. Then she found the tranparent poison bag and discovered her hands were trembling re

Angela was on edge as she watched Charles tip the glass of wine over. Just one more tilt, one more tilt. Suddenly everything seemed too slow. Why was he so slow just to drink one glass of wine?Then his phone rang and he dropped the glass of wine immediately.Angela swore under her breath, squeezing her skirt tightly in frustration. He had been so close, even the tiniest gulp was bound to do something. Charles held up his phone in hopes of it being James calling, but it was not. Instead, it was Vera calling. Charles sighed, and picked up the call. "Vera." He called as he moved to sit and in doing that, he accidentally pushed the glass of wine off the little table and it fell to the ground, shattering and sending wine splattering on the sofa. Angela shrieked as she watched the glass of wine seep onto the carpet close to where it shattered.There went her poison. Charles stared at her, wondering why she was overreacting over a glass of wine."Couldn't you have been more careful!?" S

“This could have only been done by a hacker.” Vera suggested, looking like she was thinking critically on who could have done this.Then Charles’ phone beeped, and he brought it out to check who had sent him a text which read:“If you want your money back, then come over to this address.”“Oh, my goodness. The hacker involved in this, just sent a text of the address.” Charles informed Vera and James.“Holy shit! Should we involve the cops, secretly?” James asked, wondering if that was okay.“No. We have to be extremely careful with this. He might be a man of one chance. If we fuck it up, I might never be able to retrieve that money. And you know, we have less than 3 days to acquire that building.” Charles reminded.“Oh, yes. That’s true. I guess the hacker wants something else, then, and not your money.” James replied, and folded his arms.“It seems so. I’ll be on my way there, and I’ll go alone.” Charles said to them, and dashed out of James’ house, immediately.Charles drove off to

Charles couldn’t get rid of the whole shock immediately. These three seemed like unlikely allies. If someone had predicted that Vera was going to partner up with them in the long run, he wouldn’t have believed.He was lost for words, and the only thing he could do next was to applaud them.“I really don’t get it. How could abducting James be worth all these?” he questioned, finding it difficult to understand how they would think a stupid idea was worth how they waned to get back at him.“Shut the hell up, Charles! You have nothing reasonable to say. We have had what we want, and it feels so good to know you’ve experienced defeat. If you thought you could have a nice life without me in it, then I hope this incidence have taught you that you can never be as big as you want.” Vera said, looking like she could hit him with any sharp object if she was allowed to.Then Tyson pushed James towards Charles. As Charles wanted to bend down to pick James up, Tyson shot him in the leg.“Ahhh!” Cha

The siren blew as they all parked their cars around Charles’ house. They had even called the fire trucks to put out the smoke and fire that had been caused by the explosion.Charles sat at the back of the ambulance as they ran a quick check up on him to be certain he was okay.“You are fine sir. You weren’t affected in any way.” One of the paramedics informed him.“Thanks.” Charles responded in a low tone.Just when he wanted to celebrate one of his biggest wins, this calamity befell him, and worst of all, the man who had abducted James had not gotten back to him, since then.“Mr. Lincoln, do you perhaps know of anyone who might have a grudge on you that could have done this?” One of the cops who walked up to him, questioned him, while holding a note in his hand.“I don’t have an idea. It’s more like I’ve gotten rid of the enemies who let themselves known that they are my enemies. Right now, I have no idea.” Charles spoke, sounding really broken.“Alright, we’ll ensure we get to the r

The next day, Charles woke up to James’ call. He rubbed his eyes, and then managed to sit up as he was feeling very tired. Although, he was meant to wake early today, especially because he had a flight to catch, but his bones were too tired to help him act as sharp as he ought to. As he answered his call, his eyes opened up immediately due to James’ overjoyed tone. “Boss! Boss! We did it! We finally did it!” James voiced out happily.Charles adjusted himself on the bed, and made his feet to touch the ground, wondering what news James had this time that made him to sound this way.“What’s going on?” Charles asked, with his curiosity taking the best of him.“Boss. Mr. Van actually did something great, last night. He told me this morning that he sent an email to Mr. Jayla about our need for vibranium, then he mentioned your name. About an hour after he talked to me about it, I received a response through the company’s email, from Mr. Jayla, expressing his joy that we had actually reac

Charles stepped on the throttle and zoomed off, trying to cut through and ensure no one was going to take up space on the road which he could take advantage of.“If I’m able to drive faster than this, I should get to the nearest hospital very soon.” He thought to himself and then sped up.Fortunately, there was no traffic congestion this time, and the hospital he planned to go to was just right around the next main road.There was just ten minutes left and apart from getting to the hospital, there would obviously be some little process one would have to go through before making payment. Soon, I got to the hospital, and then walked in immediately, heading to the reception.“Good day. Please I’ll like to make payment for any patient who is need of medical attention or anyone who hasn’t been able to make payment.” Charles said to the receptionist.“Alright, sir. We’ll go through the records now. Please kindly have your seat while I make my research.” “No. I need to make an urgent payme

When it was evening, he packed up his bags and was ready to leave for his home when James walked in.“You’re about leaving.” He said, noticing that he had packed up.“Yes. By the way, Mr. Van will be the one to go with me to Paris, and I’ll like to leave you to the company to take care of other things.”“Oh, are you sure about this? You know, you might need someone who you’ve really known, to go with you to another country.” James expressed his concern.Charles understood that he’s more vulnerable in a different country, especially with someone he hasn’t worked with, long enough to know if he had good intentions for him or not.“I understand. But I also need someone with experience, someone I can trust, that can stay back and that’s you. You don’t have to worry too much. Just do fine, here.” Charles spoke.“Alright, boss. I understand. So, are you going to set your eyes on the physical idea which the production team will prepare first, before you leave, tomorrow?” James asked, out of c

When Charles got to his office, he asked to be left alone as he needed to strategize and see how he could make things work.“System, show me how many points I have gathered altogether.” He inquired and waited patiently for the system to show him his points.YOUR POINTS ALL EQUAL TO 15. DO YOU WISH TO USE THEM? YES/NO.Charles tapped his chin lightly, thinking if he can get through with anything with those fifteen points.“Show me the skills I have as options.” He uttered, and focused his eyes on the screen before him.YOU HAVE THE VARIOUS SKILLS OPTIONS AND THE POINTS YOU CAN USE TO GAIN THEM AS WELL ARE AS FOLLOWS: A. FIGHTING SKILLS (15 POINTS) B. MIND READING SKILLS (20 POINTS) C. MARKETING SKILLS (25 POINTS) …Although, Charles was a bit worried with the number of points needed for the various skills and the points that would be needed for the last skill which the system would bring up. But more than that, he was more worried about if the last skill that would be brought up would

“We’ll talk more on this, tomorrow. As for today, you know how sacred it is for me. I won’t be engaging in any work, no matter how pressing it is.” Charles said, standing on his ground.“I understand, boss. It’s noted.” James replied, acknowledging what was more important to Charles, at this moment.They both stayed at the cemetery until it was 6pm.“Alright, it’s time to leave.” Charles urged as he rose to his feet.James also rose to his feet and helped Charles pack up the few things he had set up and then placed it in the car.“Thanks for your help, James. You should go home to rest and then tomorrow, we’ll look into the problem we have. Thanks for your concern again.” Charles appreciated him and then got into his car.James smiled and then walked to his car as well, then got into it and stared the engine immediately Charles drove off.He was glad that Charles was okay and nothing bad had happened to him, but he also hoped that their current problem at work would have a solution.

James tried to call him again, but his phone was still switched off. He rose to his feet, then rushed to his bedroom, preparing to drive out to where Charles was, but he stopped halfway when he got back to the living room.He already had a second thought and which was to be patient. He felt that the information could wait. After all, all he just needed was confirmation if they were to go on with the idea of using vibranium or not.In a situation like this, he was used to reaching out to Vera, but now, he couldn’t. Well, he was going to get used to it, soon. He decided to put a call through to Mr. Van and the reason he decided this was so Mr. Van could get a hang of this work quickly and know what to do in different situations.“Hello, Mr. Van.” He greeted.“Good afternoon, Mr. James.”“I hope you’re getting the hang of things at work?” James asked as he sat on the sofa.“Yes, I am.”“Alright then. I need you to make a research on people who have vibranium in possession.” James instruct

The next day, Charles had had his bath, and was searching through his wardrobe for something simple to wear.Today was his mother's memorial and as usual, he doesn't do anything on that day. He decided to wear a dark suit as that's how it has always been.After dressing up, and ensuring he was leaving nothing behind, he walked out of his room, with his shoes making tapping sounds which echoed as he walked down the stairs leading to his living room."Good morning sir." Martha greeted politely."Good morning." He responded with his hands in his pocket."Here are the flowers you ordered. They came in an hour ago." Martha informed as she handed the bouquet of flowers to him.Charles removed his hand from his pocket and received the flowers, then sniffed the scent in."Smells nice." He spoke as he nodded his head in acknowledgement. "Alright then. Until when I get back home."Charles turned towards the door and then halted before he turned back to her."You should also take the day off." He
