The Black Card System Chapter Hundred And Eighty Two
Charles was disturbed by this new discovery, and didn’t know what to think or do at that moment. While in his room, he walked around his bed, thinking deeply about why the system would act in a strange way which he never dreamt about or imagined would happen.“What upgrade is needed, and how do I go about this upgrade?” Charles asked the system, out of curiosity.ACCEPT THE UPGRADE AND THEN MORE INFORMATION ABOUT IT WOULD BE REVEALED. ONCE YOU ACCEPT, THE DEADLINE FOR THE UPGRADE WOULD BE RENEWED.Charles was still confused about where all these were coming from, but he had no choice than to adhere to whatever the system says.Afterall, who would be happy to lose their sight? “Alright, I accept the upgrade.” Charles responded.Then the system made a sound that sounded like everything was going smoothly. But Charles wasn’t so comfortable. He didn’t know what kind of upgrade he was agreeing to, but after a while, he felt a bit calm. Since he got the system, the system had brought nothi

Amelia was scared to her bones that James had been shot, and he was probably dying.“911, please my man was just shot. Please come over right now. We’re at the lone street after St. Thompson’s street. Please hurry up! Someone’s dying.” Amelia spoke quickly, crying like a baby.“Please be calm, ma’am. We’re on our way.” The woman assured her, and Amelia hung up the call.She was about to go out of the car to check on James, but before she could unbuckle her seat belt, she heard a knock on the car window.With fear, she slowly looked towards the window and to her dreaded thought, it was one of the men in black suit. He was smiling menacingly at her, then he signaled to her to wind down.Amelia was too scared to wind down as she didn’t know what he would do to her, but James was still out there, and she was worried about him.Recalling that she had reached out to 911, she felt a bit assured that they would come for them soon, and before these goons would do anything to them, they would ha

Charles rose to his feet abruptly, almost choking on his saliva. He looked at the message again, and even had to rub his eyes to be certain that he was seeing right.“What's wrong?” Vera asked, looking concerned.Charles had to show Vera his phone to be certain it wasn't his eyes playing some tricks on him.Vera gasped in shock.“Is…is this real? Let's call James immediately.” She said hurriedly.Charles quickly went to his call logs and then dialed James’ number. He began to wonder for how long had he been in their custody and how James must have felt he didn't care enough to reach out to him, during his vacation.Suddenly, the call was answered, and Charles put it on speaker.“James, are you okay?” He asked, out of concern.“No, he's not. And if you do not comply with the boss' rules, you will no longer hear from your so-called ally.” The male voice threatened.“Then tell me what damn rules are you speaking about!” Charles yelled out loud in anger and frustration.“If you are ready t

Charles stared at the message for a long time, before it faded away. System upgrade processing? What if something unpleasant happened, due to the system upgrade?Systems he knew, always had to shut down after an upgrade, so they could reboot. What if he fell out of consciousness, and it happened at the wrong time?That would be a disaster. He swallowed, and decided to do whatever he had to do, and be done with it all, before anything like his fears happened. Charles took in the size of the warehouse once more. He could not help feeling unprepared, as he knew the tech bugs had failed. Could the people he was about to meet be the ones behind it? For what reason would they want to threaten him with James?Charles wanted to take a step closer to the warehouse, but found himself hesitating— of course, he knew he was going to have to enter it eventually, but his brain needed to analyze and guess what could probably be waiting for him in there.It was the only way to feel better about the

Mr. Longman gave Charles a toothy grin, and Charles could feel his blood boiling. At that moment, he felt deep loathing for Mr. Longman.He had James, but had to take Amelia too?"You're going to kill two innocent people just for something as trivial as a business partnership?" Charles asked, sounding like he couldn't believe Mr. Longman."Maybe it's trivial to you,but it's not to me. No, Charles, you shouldn't see half of the picture, you should always try your best to see the big picture. That is what I always do, and it is why I am partnering with you." Mr. Longman replied, and Charles scoffed, dipping his hands into his pockets."Let's say I sign the contract with you...""Oh, a contract's not ready yet. I didn't think that far, but you can count on it happening soon." He replied."A contract's not ready? Reckless. What if I refuse to sign it when it is ready? Or let's say I sign it, only to break it and pay the severance fee later on?" Charles asked, but instead, Mr. Longman laugh

The next day, Charles was having breakfast when the doorbell rang, and Martha went to answer it. Vera came in looking worried and shocked. “Good morning…” she said hastily, before jumping to the main reason she had come as early as that. “Why didn't you pick your calls? I've been so worried. How did it go? Is James fine?” She asked, rapidly, and Charles sighed. “Well…”“Also, the date for the competition is out. It's in a week's time.” She informed him, before she forgot about it.“In a week's time?” Charles asked, and she nodded. “What about James? Is he here? Is he fine?” She asked, looking towards the stairs. “Actually. He's fine, but at the same time, he's not.” Charles replied, getting to his feet. “Okay, that sounds scary. What do you mean by that?” She asked, looking at him warily. “He's fine, meaning he's alive, but he's not fine because he's injured badly, and there's a big issue we have at hand.” Charles explained, and she inhaled deeply. “Where's he?” She asked, and

Charles stared at the message blankly. There was a way he could wiggle out of his current situation?He looked at James, who still looked a little guilty, then Amelia, who looked even more guilty about listening to James and trying to carry out his request. “I'll leave you to rest then.” He said, and walked away, but turned sharply at the door. “Don't try anything stupid, okay! You should stay just like that. I'll work on my plan.” He snapped, and James managed to nod, with a smile.Charles left the room, and went to his, locking the door behind him. Then he asked the system his question.“What do you mean by there's a way I can wiggle out of this?” He asked, “What do I have to do to get out of this situation?”The system replied almost immediately, giving him two tasks that seemed a little tedious. YOU CAN WIGGLE YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS BY FULFILLING THESE TWO TASKS.TASK ONE: RAISING HALF A MILLION DOLLARS, WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE SYSTEM, AND EXHAUSTING IT ON THE ONE IN A PARTICULAR

On his way home, Charles dropped by a store, and bought fresh fruits to give to James. His face seemed to be getting brighter, but most of the time, he was always asleep. It was probably due to the painkillers he had to use. When he got home, he met James sitting up, and talking to Amelia. He was smiling. That made Charles feel slightly better. "Hey." He said, dragging a chair to sit next to him. James smiled at the sudden informality, which Charles used to speak with him."Hi." He replied, playing along and Charles chuckled. "How's it been going?" He asked Amelia, and she smiled."He's been doing fine. I think he's getting better. At least, his arm doesn't bleed anymore." She replied, and Charles gave a sigh of relief. "Here. I got you some fruits." He said, taking out the fruits he had bought.He picked a knife and a tray off James bedside table, went to the bathroom, rinsed it, and returned to James' bedside. "These fruits look great." James said, with his eyes on a large ho

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
