On a busy Friday night in Los Angeles, Charles eagerly rode his scooter to the Silver Hotel for a delivery. He was excited on this particular night because deliveries to hotels attracted extra tips.

As a full-time door-dash delivery man, his job was to drop off food and orders for people and various businesses. It was his only means of income and he worked tirelessly to earn enough money to take care of his wife. But she never seemed to appreciate what he did and looked down on him all the time.

"You can't get anything right. You're just useless." Her words to him that morning replayed in his head countless times as he rode quickly to the hotel.

The truth was that his wife, Angela, and her family despised him because he was poor. But he remained hardworking, hoping that he would someday prove them wrong and earn their respect.

He arrived at the parking lot of the hotel and parked his scooter.

"I'm here to deliver an order to one of your residents." Charles informed the receptionist at the lobby. "Please which floor is room 304."

"Sixteenth floor," the receptionist replied, eyeing his messy hair, wrinkled shirt and dirty jeans.

"Thank you," Charles murmured. He got into the elevator and on the sixteenth floor, he got out.

With a quick glance, he spotted room 304 and knocked on the door. When he didn't receive any response, he knocked again.

"I'm here to deliver your–" He froze midday as the door opened and his gaze fell on no one else but his wife. "Angel–Angela?"

Angela stared at him in shock. "What are you doing here?" She asked, folding her arms.

Charles couldn't speak for a moment as he stared at her in disbelief. "The real question is, what are you doing here? I'm supposed to deliver an order to a man in this room. What's going –"

Before he could finish, a man walked up the door and wrapped his arms around Angela. He was about forty years old, with blue electric eyes and broad shoulders. The expensive cut of his clothes screamed money and power. He was nothing like Charles and his heart sank.

"Honey, what's going on? Is this the delivery man?" The man asked, planting a kiss on Angela's chin. Charles staggered back in shock, his eyes darting between his wife and the man embracing her.

"That's my useless husband." Angela replied. "I guess I've told you about him." Like it wasn't enough that he caught her cheating on him, Angela was humiliating him the more. There was no ounce of remorse detected on her face or voice. At that moment, Charles felt like his world had crumbled right before his eyes.

"How could you do this to me? Why would you cheat on me?"

Angela chuckled bitterly. "How can you ask me that stupid question when you can't even act like a man? Just look at you, you're nothing but a mockery to me. I can't believe I married a failure like you."

Charles was taken aback by her words and his heart churned with betrayal. "Angela, I've done everything possible to please you. I've tried my best to work hard to get you the things you need. Why would you do this?"

"You? Get me the things I need?" Angela spat. "You can only afford cheap things. I'm not cheap and I want to be given the most exquisite things in the city. Jefferson takes care of me unlike you. He doesn't give me pennies everyday but instead showers me with diamonds and expensive gifts. I regret the day I married you with all of my heart. I'm ashamed to be seen with you in public because you always look like a wretched beggar."

Jefferson, who was watching the altercation between them, had a smug smile on his face as Angela praised him. "You don't have to waste your time on him, honey. Let's go back and enjoy the night." He said, trying to take Angela inside.

"Don't you dare touch my wife again," Charles warned, taking a step toward them.

"And what would you do?" Angela chipped in. "Do you have any idea who you're talking to? This is Jefferson Stone, a renowned businessman in the city and the CEO of stones enterprise. You're nothing compared to him so I suggest you lower your voice while you speak to him. In case you have forgotten, you're nobody in this city."

Rage, real rage filled Charles as he stared at her. His body was trembling with anger and hurt. "We've been married for a year and you decided to betray me like this."

"Don't bring up our marriage, Charles." Angela responded. "I never wanted to marry a loser like you. My family thought you were the son of one of the most famous and wealthy men in the city. We didn't know you were just a bastard until it was too late. Did you think I settled for you out of love? No woman will marry someone like you. You're nothing but a liability to me. No wonder your family abandoned you and your mother."

Charles' eyes darkened with anger as she mentioned his mother. "Don't bring my mother up."

"Or what?" Angela bit back. "What will you do? Are you ashamed to tell everyone that your mother was a wretched maid? Are you embarrassed that your father slept with her and dumped her on the street? It's so unfortunate that I ended up with you. A reject, a complete disappointment to your family. But now, Jefferson will take good care of me. After all, his family owns a million-dollar company in the city."

At this point, Charles could not take it anymore. How could she involve his late mother? He rushed and tried to grab Angela out of anger. "How dare you?!!!" He yelled, his voice echoing across the sixteenth floor.

"Leave this place before I call the police and get you arrested for harassment!" Jefferson threatened as he stood between Charles and Angela.

"She is my wife. You have no right to come between us!" Charles barked, trying to confront Angela.

"You heard her. She doesn't want you anymore." Jefferson said and turned slightly to Angela. "Call the hotel's security personnel. Tell them to come and get this crazy man out of here."

Within minutes, two large, angry looking bodyguards came to take Charles away.

"No, no, no..," Charles begged. "You don't understand. This man is with my wife. Let me go!" But the bodyguards didn't care and quickly obeyed Jefferson's instructions to take him away.

"You'll pay for this! I promise that you'll regret this!" Charles threatened as the bodyguards took him away. "Angela, you'll pay for this!" They hauled him into an elevator and down to the lobby.

"If you ever come back here, we will get you arrested and beaten up." The bodyguards warned as they threw Charles out of the hotel building. He fell to the ground and bruised his body. The bodyguards mocked him bitterly before leaving.

Sitting on the floor of the parking lot, Charles was heartbroken and dejected. "I'm going to make all of them pay. I will take revenge on everyone who abandoned me and my mother. I will deal with everyone who threw my mother out on the streets and made our life miserable. All of them." He swore to himself in anger.

When his mother was thrown out by his father's family, she struggled to take care of Charles. He grew up in poverty, while his father was a billionaire in the city and never even considered helping him out.

Charles swore to himself that he would take revenge on his father and family for abandoning his mother on the streets. And he will make his wife pay for cheating on him.

And then, as he tried to get up, he heard a loud voice in his head and he fell back to the floor in pain. "[HOST DETECTED....INTRODUCING THE BLACK CARD SYSTEM].

At this moment, he felt his blood pumping wildly to his brain and his eyes reddened with pain. He held his head, trying to stop the pain but he couldn't control it. Then, he passed out on the ground.

    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
