The Black Card System Chapter Seventy Eight
Charles couldn’t believe his ears. He wondered how Josephine would be friends with people who wanted what she had. It was understandable that they could also desire what she had, but when it comes to a man, it shouldn’t be so.“I don’t think I heard you right.” Charles said, staring at her to be certain she meant what she said.“I said I want you to be mine. Be my man. Look, I really admire you, Charles. I admire your physique, and you look intelligent.”“Thank you for the compliment, but I’ll pass, Miss.” Charles rejected her offer, and cleared his throat.Still, Josephine’s friend was relentless.“I can give you whatever you want. Is it hot and constant sex? Money, fame, a high position, respect, lands? Just name it. I’ll make it happen, instantly.” She said, trying to tempt Charles enough for him to accept her.“I’m sorry, I have to make a pass on that. I still stand on my response. If you don’t mind, I think I’ll take my leave.” Charles tried to excuse himself.“Hold on. Please ho

Those words felt like golden eggs to Charles as this was what he had been expecting for so long. To him, it was so certain that if Josephine should speak to Mr. Dane, concerning the land, it would be solved.Charles let out a loud laughter of joy, then hugged her tight. Josephine was glad that she made him this happy, and she cherished that moment.“Thank you so much, Josephine. You are such a darling. I can’t believe this, but I guess this is real.” Charles said, trying hard to contain his joy in the best way possible.“It is real, Charles. I have decided to help you, and I will ensure I stand on Alaric’s neck to make sure he considers buying your land for a very good price.” Josephine assured him.“Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much. I really do appreciate you, Josephine. In fact, I’m so lucky to have met someone as golden as you.” Charles complimented her, trying to make her feel really good.He knew that the more he made her blush and feel good, they more she would want to give in

Josephine screamed so loud in anger that anyone who heard her scream would understand how pained she felt at that moment. She was angered by the way he left without feeling remorse.“How could you not feel remorse for what you did!” She yelled out loud in anger, and stomped her feet.Charles on the other hand, felt accomplished. He watched Josephine, sulk, through his mirror, and smiled. “You decided to cheat on your husband who is willing to give you everything, and you can’t bear when someone cheats you, or play with your feelings. Tch! You must be kidding me.” Charles said as he swerved to the left, through a corner.Then he picked up his phone, and dialed James’ number. James’ phone rang for about three times before he finally answered.“Where did you put your phone, man.” Charles questioned, although with humor.“I actually had it on silent, while working on a few things. Judging from the sound of your voice, it seems something good came up.” James said as he adjusted himself o

Charles was alarmed by Vera’s message, and immediately tried to reach her, but her line wasn’t reachable.“Shit!” He cursed out loud, and ran off to where his car was, then got into his car immediately.He started his car, and dialed Vera’s number again, but it still wasn’t reachable. So, he decided to call James as he didn’t know where Vera’s house was.James phone rang thrice before it was answered, then Charles put it on loudspeaker.“Hey, James. Where’s Vera right now?” Charles inquired immediately.“Hey Charles. It’s me, Vera.” Vera replied, with her voice, a little shaky.“Vera wasn’t that kind of woman who would act feeble, but for her voice to sound this way, then something must have happened to her.” Charles thought to himself.“Vera, I saw your text not long. What’s going on?” Charles asked, out of concern.“James is currently in the hospital. Can you come over to Hope Hospital?” Vera informed.“Wait! What! You know what? I’ll be right there.” Charles assured, and sped up to

Fury seeped into Charles veins, and he clenched his fist tight as his eyes stayed fixed on the message. Every single word of that message was infuriating. The hand which held the phone squeezed it tight, and his lips was pulled into a tight line.After a few seconds, he forced himself to take a deep breath, but it didn't work, so he took in several deep breaths until the sudden storm that had risen in his chest had settled a little. He was going to get Mark. That he was very sure of, and when he finally caught him, he was going to tear him apart. He would rip him in pieces. He was keeping his anger for him, so when he finally caught him, he would unleash all the rage and fury he had been trying so hard to control. He was going to make him wish he never made it out of his mother's womb.He was going to make him wish he never knew that he, Charles, existed. He was going to make him cry and beg, and if he didn't, well, he was going to wish he could. Charles threw his phone on his bed,

“I guess you are smart enough to recognize my voice, quickly.” She chuckled lightly.Charles had excused himself from Mr. Grayson. He knew that for whatever reason she had called him, it wasn’t good. No matter the plan she had, he had to be one step ahead of her as he couldn’t allow a woman to trump over him especially when he had a lot to do.He was aware that if Josephine had something on him, he wouldn’t be able to achieve his goals anymore as she would find out more secrets about him, and control things from there.“What do you want?” I questioned, coldly.Then she chuckled loudly, and exhaled like she really enjoyed her laughter.“it isn’t a question of what, but who, my darling.” She replied.“Josephine, I do not have time for your pranks and all. Get straight to the point. I’m very busy.” Charles snapped at her, but ensured that his voice didn’t make Mr. Grayson suspicious.“Oh, I see. Alright, let’s meet tomorrow evening at Grand Hotel. I’m currently lodged there.” She informe

Panic rushed through Charles like a flood. The blood on his palm wasn't even red, but black. He could taste the metallic taste blood had thick on his tongue, and he coughed some more. As he coughed, it felt like he wouldn't stop. He wrenched his tie from his neck to enable him to breathe but doing that seemed to drain him faster as he fell to the ground. He tried to use his palm to hold himself but ended up collapsing on the floor. He continued to cough and dark blood dribbled down the sides of his mouth. His chest felt tight, like there was no space for his heart to beat. He had thought he would be fine, not knowing the gas had already done its worst while he had been busy hacking at the door.Was he going like that?The blue sky in front of him wavered, and seemed to split as he faced the heavens, and it was the last thing he saw as the darkness crowded his sight. Luckily for Charles who lay helpless on the floor, a woman looking to be in her mid-forties happened to pass by. She l

He read the message, and he looked away angrily, eager to get her off his back. He didn’t need anyone to stress him mentally just like the way she was doing right now.“If you do not take me seriously the next time, you really would not like what I’m going to do. Let’s meet, tomorrow’s evening, 7pm sharp.”He had read the message again, and then placed his phone on the desk beside him.“I should be discharged when the day breaks.” Charles voiced out, and leaned his head on the pillow.“Well, it depends on how better you’ve gotten.” Vera replied.“I’m much better now. I have somewhere I want to be, by 7pm sharp. I missed it last night, and can’t afford to miss it this night.” Charles made it known to her with a serious expression.“Alright, noted.” Vera nodded her head.Vera walked out of the hospital to speak with the doctors, and ensure Charles was okay.“So, he can get discharged when he wants, right?” Vera asked, to be certain.“Yes, he can. We’ve checked his vitals, and everything

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
