The sound of the birds chirping woke Charles up from his sleep, and the warm sun rays that shone on his skin made him feel good. Birds rarely came to perch on the tree beside his room, so to Charles, it felt like a good day.He stretched, and yawned, then stood up from the bed. He was ready for today’s agenda as he had rested enough, yesterday. Charles walked into the bathroom to have his bath, and after that, he dressed up.After he was done dressing up, he strode down the stairs to meet James who stood in the sitting room with an I pad in his hand. Charles had decided to go with James this time as he wanted to switch between, he and Vera on occasions like this.“Good morning.” James greeted with a slight smile.It was obvious that he was also ready for the day, and that he supported Charles in everything he planned to do.“Morning. Alright, let’s go.” Charles said as he walked over to the door.As they got outside, he was pleased to meet the men who stood in front of two dark cars b

Charles stood gallantly, and folded his arms, waiting for George to get to him.“What’s going on here, Charles! What the hell are you doing to my companies!” George yelled angrily.Charles scoffed, and sneered at him before he decided to speak.“So, we meet again. Firstly, do not forget you’re speaking to the Governor, and you know I can do anything, right?”George bit his lower lips, trying to restrain himself from getting too angry.“But that doesn’t give you the audacity to lock down my companies over some grudge that should have been forgotten, months ago.” George spat out.“Well, that’s why you should watch the people you oppress or step on their toes. I’m sure many people would come for you if they are each given a chance to payback what you’ve done to them.” Charles smirked, and unfolded his arms.“Still, you don’t have the right to do this!” George yelled, unable to control his temper. “You are still that small boy I knew a few months ago. I can still trample on you.” George t

In the evening, Charles sat at his balcony, staring at the stars and the beautiful night sky while he sipped his wine. The breeze was soothing, and wonderful that it made him feel relaxed and calm.Suddenly, the system appeared right in his front, and he looked at the instructions that was given to him with keen interest.“You are to spend 10 million dollars in 18 hours.”The system disappeared, and then his phone beeped, alerting him that he been credited. He took a deep breath, and then thought deeply on what he could use the 10 million dollars for.Charles stood up from his seat, and leaned on the rails of the balcony, looking at the streets, and dazzling lights at a distance.“What can I use these 10 million dollars for?” He muttered under his breath as he looked around.He had gotten literally everything he ever desired, and had even gotten business partnerships which he was delighted in. Now, there was nothing that needed him to throw money in at that moment.He paced around slo

Charles loved the idea as he felt it was a mind blowing one, but the first thing he was going to do to make that idea come to reality was to acquire a building of his own. A tech company which would be the master of all tech companies.He wanted that because most of the tech companies he had was either acquired from someone else, or it was a partnership deal. Now, he desired his very own tech company.“I guess something is cooking for there to be smiles all over your face.” Vera interrupted Charles’ wonderful thought.Charles looked at her, and smiled deeply.“Well, I guess. And I’m sure it’s going to work out really well.” Charles said, with a smile on his face.“It certainly will. I’m sure those workers at Adam’s company won’t see this coming.”“I know right? I also didn’t know I would be going back there this soon, but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. Some workers, if not all, could have done the work right away.” Charles said as he leaned his back on the car seat, and exh

“Who…who is this?” Charles muttered out, trying to make himself believe that he heard wrong.Vera who noticed his change in mood, looked at him worriedly, and hoped something bad had not happened.“You know quite well that you would love to see me, so if you want to see me, I’ll text you the address to come see me. I will be expecting you.” The woman said over the phone call, and then hung up.Charles looked dumbfounded, and could not find words to say for a while until he got the text which contained the address of where he was. What was more shocking was that the address was his past address where he and his mother lived.“Is there anything wrong?” Vera asked, inquisitively.Charles’ eyes fluttered, and then he looked at her, but still couldn’t say a word. Series of baffled thoughts that filled his mind couldn’t allow him say a word, until after a while when he regained himself a little.“No…nothing. You know what, you and the driver should find a cab back home or something. I have

Night had fallen, and Charles was at home, feeling relaxed on his bed, but was lost in thoughts on what had happened earlier, which was his meeting with Rosaline.He just couldn’t understand why she just looked so much like his mother, that he could be fooled easily if they told him she was his mother, or if Rosaline herself acted like she was his mother who didn’t die.He sat up, and took a sip from his glass of wine, and then sighed.“What do I do with this change?” He thought to himself as he placed his index finger on his philtrum, and his thumb on his chin.Then a thought popped up in his mind, and he picked up his phone to call James. James’ number rang for about almost 30 seconds before he picked up.“Good evening, boss.” James greeted delightfully.“Evening. I want you to make a research on someone for me.” Charles informed, and gave James all the information he would need to get mor information.“Alright, boss. I’ll do just that. By the way, I got some information about Angel
The Black Card System Chapter Sixty
Angela felt her anger build up as she felt George certainly had a hand in this. She viewed him as a shameless person since he did such. Just because he linked her with wealthy people who could patronize her doesn’t mean he could take all that away when he pleases.“I’ll be right back.” Angela said as she ignored his call.Mark grabbed her arm out of worry as he didn’t know what she wanted to do next after hearing such dis-heartening news.“Where are you going?” He asked, out of curiosity.“Don’t worry. I’m not off to do something weird or bad. Just let me go.” She said, with determination, and withdrew her hand from his grip, forcefully.Mrs. Adam calmed Mark down when he wanted to follow Angela, and he looked at his grandmother like he meant to say “Are you just watching her leave?”“Don’t worry. Angela is not someone to do something irrational. She might have a plan in mind.” She convinced him, and sat down on the sofa.Mark reluctantly backed down, and resumed his activity on his p

Charles drove back home, and when he got back home, he took a shower which relieved him of his tensed bones. He had a long day, and there was no time he dedicated to rest.He smoothened his hair under the shower, and shook his hair again, then he scrubbed his body a little, and walked out of the bathroom. After putting on his robe, he laid on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. “Tomorrow is another day.” He muttered under his breath, and shut his eyes to sleep.The next day, he got prepared for the meeting which he had been postponing for a while now; the Governor’s meeting with the board of members. He put a call through to his chief advisor which he had assigned for himself through a call.“Good morning, sir.” The chief advisor greeted, formally.“Good morning. I want you to set up a meeting with everyone necessary. Let’s meet in the conference room, and I should be there in an hour.” Charles instructed him, then hung up.He went through his wardrobe, and brought out the best suit

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
