Charles got to the conference room later than he thought he would, and he felt that the party members would think he wasn’t serious as that wasn’t a good start.But they surprised him when they all welcomed him with smiles on their face.“So, now, let’s start. Mr. Charles Lincoln, I hope you do not come late to our meetings again, because we tend to wait for each other until we are all complete. And we can all agree that time is passing by without us doing anything.” The leader voiced out as he sat down.“Yes, I understand. And I apologize for getting here late.” Charles apologized humbly, and sat down as well.“It’s fine. Alright, let’s get to business. First, I congratulate us all for being lucky enough to have Mr. Charles Lincoln by our side as we can all feel in the air that there is a high chance that we’ll win this election.”“Yes, that’s true.” Another member attested, nodding positively at others who reciprocated.Charles smiled, and felt revered and capable.“I’m so glad you a

Vera knew instantly that Charles had something else he was cooking up again, and she was interested to hear it.“Alright.” She responded, then brought out her phone to call James.James phone rang thrice before he answered it, and then he told her that he would be on his way immediately.“You can have your seat, Vera. You’re not planning on waiting for James before you sit, are you?” Charles said and took a sip of his drink.Vera smiled, and then sat down on the couch. There was silence between them as Vera couldn’t ask about Mr. Grayson who had probably left in anger. So, she decided to work on her phone while waiting for James to arrive.Soon, James arrived, and exchanged greetings with both Charles, and Vera.“You said we have a master mind plan.” James initiated the conversation as he dropped his phone on the table.“Yes. We are going to double cross those who think they are smarter than me, especially that they keep planning my downfall, despite teaching them a lesson.” Charles re

After attending to Mark, Charles sat back on his chair, and exhaled. He had had a long day, and needed some rest. Then he thought about what Mark had to offer, and he felt it was a trap.But the only way he could be convinced was if Mark proved his point. He picked up his phone, and texted Mark, telling him to prove how serious he was in giving him information.After sending him a message, he stood up, and stretched as his bones cracked.“It’s time I went to bed.” He said out loud.Just as he was about turning to head upstairs, the screen popped up.“You are to spend 100 million dollars in 24 hours.”Then his phone beeped, and was credited 100 million dollars. He yawned and stretched again.“When tomorrow comes, I’ll know what to do with the 100 million dollars. As for now, I have to go to bed.” He said, talking to the air as he walked upstairs.He got to his bedroom, pulled off his clothes and allowed himself to fall helplessly on the bed. “Uhh… What a day.” He spoke, in a relaxed t

Charles got back to his senses, and immediately, he pulled away, and the speeding car came to a halt. The driver quickly came outside with pleading eyes.“I’m so sorry sir. I had a fault with my brake. Please don’t press charges against me.” The man pleaded earnestly.Charles was a bit annoyed because he could have been in an accident because of him and an apology wasn’t going to take away the pain. But then, he decided to tone down his anger, seeing how sincere the man was.It didn’t look to him like he was faking anything.“You should always check your car before taking it out. Even you could have had a grave accident which wouldn’t be good for you and your loved ones.” Charles said to the man.“Thank you so much for letting this slide. I’ll take to your advice.” The man appreciated him, and then scurried back into his car, and drove off. Charles adjusted his suit, and when he faced forward, the screen popped up.“You’ve been rewarded the opportunity to pick a skill which you feel

Mark was happy to hear that that he stood up and reached out his hand for a handshake. He didn’t expect Charles to shake him but then Charles surprised him by shaking him.This made him believe that Charles had really bought his lies, and trusted him. He didn’t know it would be that easy, but he was glad.“It’s my luck.” He thought to himself.“Alright, you can take your leave now. I have a few other things to attend to.” Charles said, with a smile.“But I thought I was in your league now. Can’t I attend to the things with you?” Mark asked, hoping it was something he would get useful information from.“You are in my league means I have a use for you. And this is the part you’ll be helping me in. It also means other parts or category is none of your business, Mark. Do you want to break the trust you just built with me?” Charles said, through his teeth.“No…no. Absolutely not.” Mark responded hastily.“Alright then. See you when next there is a meeting.”“Yeah, sure.”Mark felt irritate

Mark wondered why the Governor was suddenly at his back, and didn’t say anything until he turned around.“I wonder for how long he has been here.” Mark thought to himself.“Do you need anything, Governor?” Mark asked, hoping there was no problem.“Nothing actually. I see you were about leaving but can you stay here just for a moment to talk with you?” George requested.“Yes, sure, sure.” Mark gladly replied, and moved closer to the rails.“Good. I see you’re really capable. Just like your friend here.”“My friend?” Mark questioned, taken by surprise.It seemed to him that Angela didn’t reveal that they are siblings. Mark wondered how not revealing that they are siblings would help better, because George didn’t look like he cared if they were friends or not, except they are lovers.“Yes. Your friend. Or isn’t she your friend?”“Yes…yes, she is.” Mark responded, hoping this wasn’t going to cause an issue later.“Alright. So, as I was saying, I have recognized your capability to handle s

Charles was a bit troubled and displeased especially with the fact that he couldn’t jump into their conversation to ask about the Jefferson they were talking about.It was definitely going to be rude and a huge turn off for Mr. Grayson as it wasn’t nice to just interrupt or show signs that one was eavesdropping. Soon, Mr. Grayson stood up, and walked out of the conference room. Charles exhaled sharply, and his expression could show he was in deep thoughts. Vera who noticed that, tried to bring back his attention.“Is anything up?” She asked as she touched him lightly.Charles snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her.“Yeah?”“I asked if anything is wrong?” Vera repeated her question.“Oh, nothing.” Charles replied and looked back at the table.After a few minutes, Mr. Grayson walked back into the conference room, adjusting his suit.“I’m so sorry for the delay. Now, we can kickstart.” He said as he sat down.Charles wasn’t as interested as he was before. His attention was now di

Charles was quite surprised and was more interested in what he had to say. “Give me more details on this.” Charles requested with a glint of curiosity in his eyes.Mark was more than happy to share him the information he wanted to hear and spilled more than enough to Charles. Charles was pleased to hear the amount of information he heard from Mark, and Mark kept giving him more as days and weeks passed until the D-day.Now, it was that very day which both George and Charles had been waiting for, badly. This day was going to tell who would end up being the winner, and trample on the other.They got to the event, and they sat at the front seat, somewhere in the crowd until they called them up to the stage and people gave them a clap. The people of the state were also watching from their TV.They were all excited about this day and were ready to support their candidates.“We welcome Mr. Charles Lincoln and Mr. George Washington to the stage.” The presiding officer announced, and the cro

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
