The Black Card System Chapter Twelve
The next morning, Vera arrived at Charles' mansion and they both drove to Visiondot Cars Limited to purchase a car. When they arrived at their company, the parking lot was filled with expensive cars. None of the cars parked was worth less than $1 million dollars and Vera was impressed. "Hello," Charles said to the receptionist but she didn't bat an eyelash. He cleared his throat. "I'll like to purchase a car. Who do I speak to about that?" The receptionist slowly lifted her head and pointed to one of the salesmen. "You should talk to him." Charles thanked her and walked up to the salesman. He didn't know that it was the same salesman he spoke to on the phone."Hello. I'd like to purchase a car and I was asked to speak to you." Charles said to the man. The man looked at him from head to toe before replying. "What kind of car do you want to purchase? I can take you to see some of our cheapest models." He offered with a smirk on his face. He didn't think Charles could even afford th

"What did you say?" Tyson asked, his face reddened with anger and his lips shaking. "Who do you think you are, Charles? Have you suddenly grown wings?" "Tyson, I don't have any business with you." Charles simply answered. "I'm here to buy a car and I suggest you do the same. I don't have time for this drama because unlike you, I have a lot of things to achieve today." "The bastard son can finally stand up for himself," Tyson spat. "Where did you get the money to buy a car? Did you steal it? Come on Charles, you can stop pretending to everyone. I know you're poor and wretched. There's no need for your fake lifestyle." Tyson glanced at Vera who was standing right beside Charles. He wondered if she was his wife or something. He didn't believe that such a beautiful girl will ever choose to be with Charles who was a nobody. He turned to Vera. "What is this useless man offering you for your time? Tell me and I'll double it. He's not worthy of your beauty and time." Vera shook her head

"Look, my father can pay twice the price for the car. I'm very sure he's busy with work and that's why his phone is switched off." Tyson said desperately to the manager. "I'm sorry but like I said earlier, the car will be sold to whoever can pay for it immediately." The manager replied. He was still holding Charles's card which he wanted to use to process his payment."Don't sell the car to this man. He's a fraud." Tyson spat. "It's an insult to me that you want to sell this car to him. Do you know who my father is? He can buy any car he wants in this city. If you sell the car to this man, you'll be making a big mistake." The manager chuckled and ignored Tyson. He knew the kind of person he was because he has met a lot of his kind during business transactions. He knew Tyson was just an entitled son who believed everyone had to worship him because his father was a wealthy man. Everyone including Tyson watched with anticipation as the manager swiped Charles card. Tyson believed the

Charles patted Tyson on the shoulder. "I advise you to start working hard for your money. Instead of sitting at home and barking orders to people, you should get up and work. You don't want to be embarrassed every time your father disappoints you. Be a man." Tyson shoved Charles' hands away. "Says the stupid illegitimate son that was kicked away. You should be happy to be standing in the same building as me."Charles shook his head. "I can see you haven't changed even after all these years. I'm trying to advise you to stop depending on your father for money but you're too proud to accept my advice. I'm no longer the person you think I am, Tyson." Tyson chuckled. "I don't need advice from a wretched man like you. Today is your lucky day but I promise you that your luck will run out. You may have succeeded in disguising as an important person today but you're still a nobody in this city. Very soon, your lies will be exposed and everyone will see through your disguise." When Charles r
The Black Card System Chapter Sixteen
Charles and Vera ordered a cab to Celio Fashion Store after they left Visiondot. Celio Fashion Store was one of the best fashion line in the city and Charles wanted to shop for some clothes there. He planned to spend more money so he would complete the system's task and receive two black card points. As they walked into the fashion store, the receptionist was staring at Charles like she had just seen a ghost. Charles expected her reaction because he used to work as a delivery man at Celio but now he was coming to shop for their clothes. Celio was a well known fashion brand with the best collection of clothes. Most of their designs were made from imported materials from all over the world so their clothes were really expensive. In fact, once you are seen in public wearing one of their clothes, you will be respected and admired. "Charles, is that you?" The receptionist asked when Charles and Vera tried to check in. "It's been a long time we've seen you here." Charles smiled. "I kno

Madame Visa stared down at the heap of clothes that Charles bought and back at him. What had suddenly come over him? The Charles she knew was just a very timid delivery man who everyone looked down on. He wore tattered clothes to work, and would always beg for tips. "Are you listening to me?" Charles asked, pulling her out of her thoughts. "Do you still want us to leave?" He had a smirk on his face. He knew that she couldn't afford to let them go because he wanted to purchase really expensive clothes.Madame Visa was a very greedy woman who loved money more than anything. She scratched her head nervously before smiling at Charles. "I wasn’t asking you to leave. I was only trying to speed up your selection so you can select the best things before others. Do you know how many of our recent pieces were sold in minutes?" She lied. Their recent pieces hadn't been sold so much because of the prices. Most rich men who could afford to buy them could only buy just one. Only Charles had pick

"Can anyone explain what's happening here?" Mr. Celio asked again. "Why are the staffs not working? Why are they clustered in one corner?" "I believe that would be my fault," Charles chipped in before Madame Visa replied. "We were trying to settle some poor customer care issues but I'm already on my way out." Madame Visa shot Charles a pleading look, begging him not to say anything. Charles had never seen her that humble and scared before. He knew that reporting her to Mr. Celio would be the end of her job. "What poor customer care issue?" Mr. Celio asked, looking around in bewilderment. He didn't want to believe that any of his staff would be trying to ruin the reputation of his store. "Please, enlighten me, Sir. I'm Celio, the owner of this great store." Charles cleared his throat. "I'm Charles." "Mr. Charles was actually leaving." Madame Visa chipped in immediately, hoping she could drive Charles away before the truth leaked out. "May I escort you outside?" "Not so fast, Mada
The Black Card System Chapter Nineteen
Charles and Vera walked out of Celio fashion house, feeling overwhelmed with joy. Charles was incredibly happy because he put Madame Visa in her place. Vera on the other hand appreciated her job as his personal assistant. “Charles, that was intense,” she said beaming with smiles. “So what’s your next plan? Where are we heading to next?” “Ummmm,” Charles considered his next plan immediately. Having bought a house and car, he needed a company of his own to secure a name in the city. “I need to secure a deal with the manager of Golden State Hotel.” “What kind of deal? Are you talking about partnership?” “No. I want to buy Golden State Hotel.” Initially, Vera was shocked because she didn’t think he would be able to afford the cost of buying an entire hotel. But she didn’t want to doubt him like others. After all, he had accomplished everything he wanted to do previously. “Are you sure you can foot the cost?” She asked. “After all, what if the manager doesn’t want to sell it to you? W

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

Chapter Hundred And Sixty
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
