The Black Card System Chapter Hundred And Seventy Two
Charles looked at Lincoln in disgust. He detested him with everything. That was downright cheap. Was he so desperate to have someone go down with him that he didn't make use of his senses?How did he expect to drag Charles down with him without any evidence?That looked stupid to Charles. Sandra on her part didn't say a word, her tears dropped her cheeks. Her problem was humiliation. Charles doubted she really thought she was going to be given a heavy sentence. Almost everyone turned to see the person Mr. Lincoln was pointing at, and their mouths dropped when they saw he was pointing at Charles. Was he really pointing at Charles? Charles?Even his attorney looked baffled, and a little frustrated. Why would Mr. Lincoln try to show it outright that he was nervous? Why did he admit it?The prosecuting attorney took up the opportunity immediately.“Do you mean to imply that you admit to the sale of illegal drugs?” He asked, and Mr. Lincoln turned to his attorney, tongue-tied. It was ob

Charles and James left the hot courtroom with smiles on their faces. Finally, they had seen the end of Mr. Lincoln and his wife, and Charles knew the same thing would happen to Tyson and Carlos if they ever dared to show themselves.Well, they didn't even need to show themselves because Charles would bring them out, and make them an additional source of disgrace to the Lincolns, excluding himself. “Can I leave first?” James asked, “I'm going to see Amelia's parents today.” He added.“Oh. I wish you well on that. Make sure to please her parents, and thanks for everything.” Charles said, tapping James on his right shoulder.“You don't have to thank me every time. I work for you.” James replied with a smile, even though he was pleased with his efforts being acknowledged. “You're always so humble. I need to thank you for that too.” Charles added, and James smiled. “Do you want to have a little drink before you leave?”“I would have loved that, but maybe we can save it for next time. Amel

Amelia's heart felt like it was about to explode. Just seeing her father's name on her screen gave her the chills. She looked at his picture once more, and felt she was doing the wrong thing.Was that the man she wanted to convince? The man she wanted to stand up to?It was hard to imagine her doing that. She showed it to James, who stared at it for a while before blinking and nodding.“Pick it.”Amelia picked the call immediately, and raised the phone to her ears. “Where have you been, Amelia?” His stern voice came through the phone, and Amelia felt like a child once more. When she was younger, she had been terrified of him. She'd never forget the look in his eyes whenever he scolded her.It always felt like he wanted to squeeze her, and pop out her eyes. Her father was scary, and those childish fears slipped into her once more. “Uh, I've been…”“Are you rebelling, you nasty little thing?”Nasty little thing. He had always called her that, regardless of how much she aged. She ha

Fear worked up Amelia's nerves, as she heard the angry voice of her father. Something about him always managed to make her feel scared, and she hated that. She, James, and her mother left the kitchen, and went to the living room, where they saw her father stomping down the stairs looking angry. “I see you've grown wings.” He began, menacingly, as he got to the bottom of the stairs.“Fa…” Amelia began to call.“I told you to be here before an hour was up, but look at the time. Did you think I was just bluffing? What father says doesn't matter anymore!? Is that what you think?”“Honey, you need to calm down.” Her mother said, going to him, but he raised a hand to stop her, before she could get to him. “I need to calm down? First, she doesn't come home for days, do you know how much that cost me?” He asked, looking like he was going to burst, and James could see why Amelia got scared whenever he began to shout.“Father, I'm old enough to move out…”“I never stopped you from moving out

It was a new day, and Charles was in the dining room, eating. Vera had asked that he visit his own founded tech company as they had just launched the first main prototype.He had planned that he was going to go on a vacation, but he didn’t want to miss a very important day to the company.He was going to push his vacation, a day further, which means he would be going on his vacation, the next day. Charles rose to his feet, and pushed back the chair with his legs.Then he wiped his lips with a napkin, and drank some water.“Thanks for the food, Martha.” Charles appreciated her, with a smile on his face.He really enjoyed the food, and especially as he was having a good day. He had conquered all his major enemies, so even if the sky was dull, it would seem bright to him. If the birds were chirping, it would sound so much like music to him.“It was really great.” He complimented her.“Thank you, sir.” Martha smiled brightly, happy that he had really enjoyed the food.Even if he hadn’t co

The sounds of clinking spoons, and plates filled the dining table, and Amelia could not feel happier. Her father seemed to like James, after knowing he was a businessman, just like he was.“So which do you prefer? Seafood or beef?” Her father asked, and James looked at the display of dishes on the table.“Actually, I love both, but if you'd ask me to pick, then it's definitely beef. I love the different types of beef, and can identify them.” James replied, and her father laughed. “You're a real beef lover, aren't you?”“Yes, sir.” “Oh, call me Gerald, please. We should get to know each other more, don't you think?” He asked, and James smiled.“How about a game of golf, while we discuss business tactics?” James asked, and Gerald clapped.“You certainly know the deal. Of course, what is more than a delightful game of golf while talking about business? Let's fix a date.” “Alright, sir. Ready when you are.” James replied, and Amelia's mother placed a hand on Amelia's palm, with a smile

Charles heard the strange scrambling noise in his head, louder than ever, and his head jerked to the left. The team leader began his speech, but Charles couldn't concentrate. Everyone's eyes were focused on the team leader. It was just like they didn't hear the noise he had heard. “Is everything okay?” Vera, who had noticed his head jerking, and his expression stiffen, asked, and he looked at her.“There was a kind of noise. A… a loud, uh… what's the word for it? A loud scrambling noise. I heard it loud and clear, but no one else seemed to have heard it.” He explained, still looking over at the people who listened to the team leader, as he briefed Charles on the qualities of the robot once more. “Uh… maybe we missed it. You know, the team leader was talking.” Vera replied, and gave a little smile, before giving back her attention to the team leader. Could it really have been misheard? How possible could such a sound have been misheard? It had been loud and clear when he heard it. “

The applause continued, but Charles was unable to see. Could it have been something he ate? No, it couldn't be. He was yet to hear of something edible that could cause loss of sight all of a sudden, unexpectedly. He knew he was probably being watched, so he plastered a smile on his face, and began to clap along with the others, but behind his smile, his mind was a jumble of thoughts.What was happening? A moment later, just as fast as Charles' sight had disappeared, it reappeared again, and the brightness of the room made him snap it shut. “Is everything alright?” Vera, who was next to him, said, looking concerned. “Yes, yes. Everything is.” Charles replied, as he stood up. He hadn't seen the last emotion the robot could detect, but knew it had been great.“It is amazing. I commend you all on a job well done.” He said, and they all clapped once more. Charles would have said more, but was still baffled about the sudden vision loss that had come and gone so fast. What was wrong with h

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
