The Black Card System Chapter Seventy One
Charles wondered what exactly he needed to do and how much benefits he and Mr. Grayson would get for a business trip to have been mentioned.“We would have gone together, but right now, I have a lot on my table.”“It’s fine. I’m all ears.”“There’s this man, called Alaric Dane. He is a multi-billionaire who owns many lands, companies, cruise ships, etc. I need to get him to buy a land of mine which is at Chicago where he is.”Charles leaned against his chair with keen interest as he wanted to understand where Mr. Grayson was heading to.“If he buys that land, the money that comes from it would be used to make these special robots in bulk as I have just signed a deal of sending about a thousand of these robots to an influential man.” Mr. Grayson explained.“Alright?”“But Mr. Dane is very obstinate. It takes a lot to persuade him to do something, or you might not be successful at all. I have been trying to make him buy my land, but it hasn’t worked, but I believe you can make it work.”

Charles phoned Mr. Grayson a little to midnight after he had thought his plan over and over, through and through, and on the second ring, Mr. Grayson picked. "Well…" Charles started."You've made up your mind?" Mr. Grayson asked, wondering what Charles' decision was going to be."Yes, I have." Charles replied as he played with a loose wool from his pillow. "And what is it?" Mr. Grayson asked, and Charles smiled. He could hear the eagerness in Mr. Grayson's voice. Mr. Grayson was really looking up to Charles and it was all the more reason for Charles to feel pressured to make it work. "I'm going to try my best to convince Mr. Dane." Charles replied, and Mr. Grayson couldn't contain his smiles."Thanks so much, Charles. I really appreciate it. I really do." Mr. Grayson told him honestly, and Charles smiled still twirling the loose wool around his finger. "So, I'll arrange your flight. You just need to get the necessary documents ready." Mr. Grayson added, and Charles sat up straight.

Charles decided to ignore it, thinking maybe she was just like that—weird, and smiling."Alaric is having a meeting right now. He actually didn't plan for it. It was a sort of impromptu meeting. It was uncalled for so he had to attend to it using Skype. He'll be down in a moment, so in the meantime, I can keep you occupied. I'm Josephine, Alaric's wife." She explained, then introduced herself as she walked to him, extending her hand.He shook it politely and she held onto his hand. Charles wondered what was wrong with her. She had just called herself Alaric's wife so why was she still trying to flirt with him? Was she there to sabotage his mission?"Would you let go please?" He asked, the words polite and soft but nothing like the hard look in his eyes, and she smiled and left his hand."You're just what I like. Well, follow me. I want to give you a tour of our house as requested by Alaric. He's sorry for keeping you waiting when you must be busy so he wanted you to take your mind of

Charles stared at the magazine not knowing how he was going to sneak his way into Mr. Dane's heart if he wasn't even going to listen. Josephine picked up the magazine and stared at it, but didn't make a comment, she only sipped wine carefully as she stared at it, and then seconds later, her eyes met Charles' and she raised a brow. He looked away from her, and turned to Mr. Dane."What day do you think would be perfect for you to listen?" Charles asked, and Mr. Dane looked out the window with a look of utter disinterest pasted on his face. "I'll call you very soon. Although I do not assure you that I will still agree to buy the land." He continued, raising his glass to his lips."Honey, don't drink too much wine. Whenever you drink too much, you do not eat whatever I cook." Josephine whined and she went over to him, taking the glass of wine from him gently, and he smiled up at her."I can't help it. The wine is delicious." Mr. Dane countered, and she giggled. "It shouldn't be as swe

Charles immediately fished out a casual sweatshirt, took off his white shirt, and pulled the sweatshirt over his head.Business men did anything for business' sake, he kept on repeating in his head as he styled his hair in front of the mirror."Perfect." He whispered to himself, slathering cream on it. All he needed at the moment was the perfect way to gain her trust. She wasn't to know that it was the power she exercised over her husband that he needed, and not her, unless she might be unwilling because he could tell she was going to be a handful of she wanted to cause trouble.After trying to look his best, Charles left his house in a casual yellow sweatshirt, grey pants, and his hair styled to perfection while still maintaining a casual look, and hailed a cab, telling the driver the address he was going to. About half an hour later, Charles showed up at Mr. Dane's residence when the moon was already high in the sky, shining down in a beautiful crescent. His fingers found the bell

Charles immediately regained his composure and took a step back."Listen, I have my ego too, lady. Tell me if you're interested or not. You were all into me this morning, bugging me and clinging onto me and I decide that there's nothing for me to lose so I could tally with you, but next you accuse me of using you. Who's using who in this stuff? You want to use me because your oldie is not enough for you. Isn't that what's happening here?" He attacked her, feigning anger and she blinked, rethinking everything and the anger cleared from her eyes."Well…" she was saying but he held up a hand."And did I ever suggest you helping me with your husband? Think back on our conversation. I only commented about how the dinner wasn't perfect because your husband wasn't exactly pleasing. You're the one who went off bragging about how you could turn his heart of stone into foam." He shot at her."I wasn't bragging!" She said and her eyes began to shine with tears."Wait. You're crying? Damn you're

"Jeez!" Charles muttered as he bent his head to the table."What's wrong?" Josephine asked, and chose that time as the right time to take off her glasses."Would you put on those damn glasses?" He whispered through clenched teeth."Damn?" She asked and scoffed, flipping her hair out of her face. "Now you get to use bad words too? That's a way of making me happy, I guess? You're really one strange man." She told me, prepared to stand but ue held her shoulders down."Put. Your. Glasses. On." He said laying emphasis on every word. "Alaric." He whispered and her mouth which had been ready for a wide scoff, ran down."Alaric is here?" She asked breathily, as she leaned low onto the table."Holy sh…" she was saying as she spotted Alaric but managed to cover her mouth. Her eyes went wide as they seemed to be thinking of a million things that would happen to her, and so did my eyes. I was going to be doomed. It would not only make Alaric reject the land, it would make him enemies with both he

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

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
