Vera stopped in shock. Did Charles just get shot?James let out a loud cry, and bent to Charles, pressing a palm on his bleeding shoulder where the bullet had gone through. Charles groaned in pain, squeezing his face, and turning from his left to his right, and back, as a result of the excruciating pain he felt at the moment.Vera pushed herself up to her feet, and ran blindly to Charles with tears on her face. "Charles!" She called, and the sound of her voice seemed to add even more pain."Keep Quiet!" James snapped, and swept his hand in the direction of the injured people. "Just… call the ambulance now. I'll rush Charles, and whatever number of people I can take to tie hospital now." He instructed, and with one last look at Charles, Vera left to help the other people.She dialed the emergency number for the hospital, and reported the case.By then, James had already lifted Charles halfway across the restaurant. Vera picked up a lady shot in the belly carefully, and together they

Charles knew Mrs. Penny was desperate to show him she was stronger, and better than him, but he hadn't thought she could go to such an extent just because of money.He couldn't help thinking of how close he had been to his enemy, and how dangerous they were. Although those men were definitely not professionals, they were still assassins. Because if they were professionals, they wouldn't have wasted all that time, talking, and doing other unnecessary things. Nor would they hurt other people. "Wow. Who knew Mrs. Penny could…" Vera was saying, still shocked at the news."She must be arrested for this. She will spend years in prison. How could she attempt to kill a person? What if she had succeeded?" James also found it hard to believe that Mrs. Penny could really go to such an extent."We should be happy we survived. If we hadn't, we'd be in a huge problem by now." Vera admitted, looking like a balloon sucking in an air of anger. "Do you think Angela was in on this?" She suddenly aske

"You can't bring my daughter in here." Mrs. Penny protested immediately. "You have no right. You can't." "Why do you think I can't? Of course I can easily start investigating her, and who knows, I might just find something interesting." The detective said, and Mrs. Penny glared at him."You'll never find anything interesting. However, if you feel you have so much time on your hands, I'll be more than glad to let you know you can start a full investigation on her."She knew he couldn't do it, but was just threatening her because she was being rude and difficult."Oh sure. I'll be kind enough to put her in the same cell with you." He replied, and she gave him a smile.After all, Angela was clean and had nothing dirty on her hands, so he could search all he wanted.The detective gave Mrs. Penny a dirty look before he exited the investigation room, However, when he had left Mrs. Penny's facade went tumbling down. She had not expected things to turn out the way they had, and had not plann

Carlos, and Tyson watched the news in the living room room, their eyes fixed on the screen."I don't even know if I'm to be happy or not." Tyson mouthed. "How did the reporters know what happened?" Carlos asked himself."My guess is… the reporters got to one of the injured employees, and squeezed loads of information out of them." Tyson replied, looking at Carlos. "He should have died. That jerk." Carlos muttered, as they listened to the reporters give news about Charles. "It sucks. I know, right? Did you warn him enough about our next plan?" Tyson asked, picking up a glass of wine on the table in front of him."I told you he didn't even bother about it.""He probably thinks we're joking, or just trying to scare him.""Well, I made it seem like I wanted to murder him though.""You did?" Tyson asked, in disbelief."Yeah. He was just so annoying." Carlos replied, getting up from where he sat. "I just can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes he lost, and we won." Tyson

"Is there something liquid in your bag ma'am. I'm thinking of carrying it without it bending." The porter said to Angela, and she shook her head immediately."No. There's nothing liquid. Uh, it's just… it's just some water. I don't drink water just anywhere. It gives me real stomach problems, so you see, I always take my own water with me wherever I go." She lied quickly, and the man looked at the bag as if envisioning lots of water in it. Finally, Angela got to her room, and the man dropped her bag carefully. She looked around at the things around the room, wondering if they were flammable. The curtains were heavy, and were pulled back to show a picturesque view of the city. In the the distance, she spotted a rolling stream, and her hands touched the large glass that acted as a wall and also a window.The bed was spread with sheets. One look at them, and she could tell they were also flammable. There were books on a shelf too. The perfect things to fuel a fire. There was a televis

Charles woke up, and was feeling much better as his health condition had improved, and he was now stable.It was only left for him to be discharged, which he had no idea when that would happen.He managed to sit up, and was still pained regarding the news of his buildings which were set on fire.“Just when I was down, you decided to strike. Whoever did this, will not go scott free.” Charles spoke out in anger.Then he picked up his phone, and a breaking news popped up on his phone.BREAKING NEWS: CHARLES LINCOLN'S JUST LAUNCHED SOLAR PANEL INDUSTRY HAS BEEN SET ON FIRE.Charles almost had a heart attack when he saw it. He quickly called James to be certain that he saw right.James’ phone only rang once before he answered it.“Did you see the news? Is it really true?” Charles questioned in disbelief.“I was about calling you, Charles. It's true. It must be the same person who burnt down the other building that did this one too. But you need to calm down.” James said, hoping it wouldn't

Charles' ears were at alert, and keen to hear what the cop had to say. He was so ready to deal with whoever was behind it.“It's Miss Angela, and Mr. Jefferson who sponsored the arsoners to work against your building.” The cop revealed, and a gasp of shock escaped my mouth.He couldn't believe that both of them would go to an extent of setting my buildings on fire. Why would they do that to me? Charles felt that even if they wanted to get back at him, they wouldn't get to that extent. Now, he knew how much those two hated him.“Alright, thanks officer. Please arrest them. There is no way they're going to go scot-free.”“Noted, sir.”Charles hung up and felt even better that he had found out the culprit, regardless of who they were. Then he began to make calls, fixing up investment deals with those who were more than ready to receive his investment.He needed to make those investments just so he would remain financially stable as he couldn't afford to keep losing.After spending the

James was on his way to a restaurant to eat, and he decided to play a little music to get him in high spirits.He got into his car, and turned on the music to a minimal level. While driving, he caught sight of someone he had known for a long time now, but he lost contact with her.“Hold on! Isn't that Amelia?” He squinted his eyes to be certain he was seeing right.He rubbed his eyes one more time to be certain, but she was the one. She looked so much like the Amelia he once knew, and she seemed to be waiting for a cab.James quivkly parked to one side of the lane, and got down from the car. He adjusted his clothes, and ensured he looked cool as he was walking up to her.Before he got to her, Amelia looked in his direction and screamed, happy to see him. She ran gently like a lady, and hugged him tight.“James, is this really you?” she exclaimed in surprise and awe of how he looked, and then James smiled.“It's me. You now look so gorgeous.”“Come on, drop it.” She giggled, and slappe

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
