The Black Card System

CHAPTER 2 — “THE BANQUET OF DISGRACE”Noah woke up with his head pounding. His eyes opened slowly, and the first thing he noticed was the ceiling. It wasn’t the hallway ceiling. It wasn’t outside. It was the guestroom.He frowned and sat up a little.“How… did I get in here?” he whispered.He didn’t remember walking inside. He didn’t remember anything after… the card. His gaze moved to the bedside drawer. The metallic card sat there, It was not glowing and not moving , his head sounded quiet too , As if last night never happened.Noah rubbed his face and sighed. “Maybe I was more tired than I thought.”It wasn’t new, he had strange nights, memory gaps, waking up somewhere he didn’t expect. His life was a blur half the time anyway.Before he could gather himself, Tara’s sharp voice came from the hallway, he took a deep breath to prepare himself .“Noah! Get up! We’re leaving in thirty minutes!”“Yes,” he replied quietly, he didn’t dare to ask where they were going. He got dressed quic

CHAPTER 4 — THE FIRST WARNINGNoah walked home with the card hidden under his shirt, but the closer he got to the Lewis mansion, the more uneasy he felt. It wasn’t the normal quiet of the house, it wasn’t normal after such an event like the banquet they just had that everywhere looked so quiet , He stopped before he entered the house and studied the area. The whole mansion looked frozen, He looks everywhere but Tara car wasn’t in the driveway maybe she was spending the night at her new lover’s home . When he entered, he understood why.Mr. Lewis was sitting in the center of the living room like he’d been waiting for something or someone, he guessed maybe it was him and because he wanted to punish him for what happened at the Banquet but there was also two unfamiliar men in dark suits stood on either side of him. They didn’t look like drivers or regular staff. Their posture was too stiff and their eyes moved like they were trained to notice everything, it was such an awkward environ

CHAPTER 6 — “THE FIRST COUNTERATTACK”Noah ran through the narrow service tunnel as the vault alarms blared behind him. The metal walls shook from heavy boots pounding toward the entrance. He didn’t look back. He kept moving until he reached the surface, slipping out through a broken pipe that spat him into an empty drainage trench.He took a breath and paused for a while .“Mercenaries,” he murmured. “So they already sent people after me.”He wiped dirt from his clothes and stepped onto the sidewalk like a man returning from a morning jog instead of a hidden bunker. Cars were passing and People walked by. No one knew armed killers were searching for him underground, he just looked like any ordinary man . He slipped his hands into his pockets and kept walking.“Well,” he whispered, “if they want to hunt me… I guess it’s my turn to respond.”It was time to plan his first attack . By late morning, Noah approached a tall financial building in the business district. He walked in through

CHAPTER 8 — “THE TURNING POINT”Noah woke up on his own and not with Tara who any of The Lewis family yelling at me , The house was quiet , Mrs Lewis had fainted when she heard the state of what was going on and Tara was with her in the hospital, Mr Lewis locked himself in his study room , trying to figure out what was going on and how he could solve it , the weight of everything Noah had done pressed lightly on his chest, it was not out of fear, but in a strange satisfaction. For the first time since the stranger handed him that mysterious card, he felt the ground shifting in his favor. “ What a great day to be Noah Bennet “ He smiled stretching out his legs . He spent the early hours sending the encrypted files to a secure channel, watching each document disappear into the cloud. When he hit “release,” he knew there was no turning back. By the time the city was fully awake, the storm had already begun.News reports exploded across every screen.“Illegal transactions uncovered.”“

CHAPTER 10 — “THE FALL OF THE FIRST FAMILY”Morning broke quietly over the Lewis mansion, but the world outside was already shifting. News vans crowded the streets. Police cars blocked the gates. Reporters shouted questions at anyone who stepped out of a vehicle. “ We are here live at The Lewis Family Mansion…As you can see the whole place is crowded “ “ The Lewis Family , one of the biggest and most influential family in the country reduced to nothing within a blink of an eye , Investigators also found incriminating evidence….” “ We are all gathered here to witness and bring to you the arrest …it’s a shocking news, very shocking “ Several reporters and youtube streamers were all talking at once , it was chaos . The mansion that once stood as a symbol of power now looked like a sinking ship, It lost his value , Ordinarily it was a restricted area but today everyone was running in different directions with more panic and no sense of order. “ Noah!” Tara screamed from inside.
