I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything-Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Jonathan Jackson: The Puppeteer

“So, what else do you want to know?” Sofia asked, smiling.

“Well, I’d like to see the list of Top-Tier Criminals, specifically Jonathan Jackson; the more detailed information you have on him, the better,” Fein said coldly, he narrowed his eyes into slits.

Sofia just nodded and looked at him. “It seems that you have crossed paths with The Puppeteer.” f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

“Hmmm...Well, we’d inevitably meet sooner or later, which is why I needed more information about him and to become stronger than him soon as possible.” Fein nodded at her.

Sofia returned to the floating book and began writing again.

Ten minutes passed... A book with black and red colors floated toward them after she typed for another ten minutes in the Fountain of Book. Fein stared at it with astonishment. It was titled “Top Tier Criminal” on the front, with a skull logo in the center.

Sofia brought it close to him. It was a bit light, contrary to its appearance. The book was thicker than his ex-girlfriend’s thigh.

.....

“It appears like there are a lot of criminals out there...” Fein said.

“Well, all listed here are the compilation of Top-Tier Criminals in the entire Continent from Rank D to S, though it only records a few S Ranks, because those people only make a move when it involves something important; they will never be involved in petty crimes.” She put her hands to her cheeks and said.

Fein nodded in agreement, then he to opened the book; on the first page, there was a drawing of a middle guy with glasses, who appeared to be a knowledgeable scholar.

Below the picture was his basic information...

Name: Edgar Newton

Titles: Monarch of the Lightning

Role: Criminal

Class: S

Age: ???

Ability: Electrokinesis, Elementalization, Lightning Claws...

Crimes: Killing the President of Megusta State, Emperor Augustus’ Child, wiping out five countries, and slaughtering several A-ranked soldiers...

‘This individual is cruel and powerful, having wiped out five counties on his own... So, this is S Class’s strength.’ Fein arched his eyebrow at Edgar’s track record.

Fein moved on the following page, where a man is wearing a laboratory cape, his face is symmetrical and beautifully defined, he has a black piercing in both ears, and his hair is grey and white.

Name: Niki

Titles: The Mad Researcher, Leader of The Calamities, Chosen One, The Strongest Assassin...

Role: Leader of the Laughing Phantoms, Criminal...

Class: Peak of S Rank

Age: Five hundred sixty-one

Ability: Super-Regeneration, Transcendental Speed, Death Domain, Gigantification, Dual-Phantoms, ???, ???, ???...

Crimes: Assassinated the Supreme Alliance’s S Ranks, murdered royal families, was the mastermind behind an incident that killed millions of people, kidnapped talented degu users for research purposes, and founded the world’s most dangerous criminal organization...

“Fuck! This guy is in a different league than the other one!” Fein exclaimed as he looked at the dazzling records in the book in a daze.

After seeing the picture, Sofia glanced at it with interest. “That person was the most enigmatic, but also the most powerful among them.”

She proceeded without looking at him. “Despite the fact that he is continuously killing and scheming, no one dares to look into his background or anything related to it, which is why just the most basic information is written there.”

“This guy is very badass, If he is not a criminal I’m sure that he will become popular...” Fein remarked with a look of wonder.

Sofia’s mouth twitched as she heard him say that, “You’re always on the spot. Even though he was a criminal, numerous groups were established worshipping him.”

After hearing those crazy things, his eyes widen at her. “Really? That guy massacred millions of people!”

“Well, the point is, most of them are girls,” she added, with a meaningful look.

Fein nodded in agreement when he heard what Sofia said. Although it may appear absurd, society is absurd enough in and of itself since it is so materialistic that an attractive criminal might gain sympathy. There were similar cases in his prior life, even when proven guilty.

After speaking with Sofia about some other questions that pique his interest, he moved on to the next pages, which are a list of A-rank degu users. There are at least a thousand of them, though it appears to be a large number because it counted the entire continent... It just emphasized how difficult it is to progress. There may be a few unrecorded ones, but even adding another thousand would not make a significant difference. However, it appears to be a bit better than S Rank, with only three people recorded on it.

After skimming through the A-Rank’s list, Fein finally found the information he was looking for...

There was a well-built man in the picture, with a well-defined face and a neat beard. He has an X-shaped scar on his face, long hair, and an icy demeanor.

Fein carefully examined the information at the bottom to ensure that he won’t overlook any details.

Name: Jonathan Jackson

Titles: The Puppeteer, The Slippery Thief, Ruthless Jackson

Role: Villain/Criminal

Class: A

Age: 36 years old

Ability: Telekinesis, Extrasensory Perception, and Mind Manipulation, ???, ???...

Crime: Enslaving many people against their will, murdering high-ranking people, raping, and carrying out several heists in various powerful kingdoms in recent years...

“A thief? That could explain why he can cover his tracks so well,” Fein pondered.

Sofia scowled as she looked at Jackson’s picture. “He raped a lot of women and tortured them afterward for fun.”

Fein’s arms trembled after hearing what Jackson had done. “Well, karma is a bitch. It will catch up with him sooner or later.”

Fein wasn’t overly angry with Jackson, but he believes that he should kill him. After all, this guy will find him sooner or later. Fein has a high chance of dying at his current strength. And Jackson’s abilities are also terrifying.

After seeing the huge disparity in power, Fein clenched his fist tightly, thinking that he had already become very strong. But reality showed him how small and helpless he was right now.

‘It appears that Plan B will have to be carried out in advance...’ Fein thought with a grim expression.

Fein was very self-aware. he knew his limits. He would do his best to not overestimate himself and not underestimate his enemies.
