I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

-Fain's POV-

"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," I said coldly, my eyes narrowing.

Sofia nodded as she looked at me. "It appears that you have crossed paths The Puppeteer."

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

Sofia returned to the floating book and began writing again.

-10 Minutes Later-

A book with black and red colors floated toward them after she typed for 10 minutes in the Fountain of Book. I was staring at it with astonishment. It was titled "Top Tier Criminal" on the front, with a skull logo in the center.

I brought it close to me, it was a bit light contrary to its appearance. The book was thicker than my ex-girlfriend's thigh.

"It appears like there are a lot of criminals out there..." I 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 added her hands to her cheeks.

I agreed, then continued to open 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.' I arched an eyebrow at his track record.

I move on to 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!" I screamed, stunned.

After seeing the picture, Sofia glanced at it with interest. "That one was the most enigmatic, but also the most powerful."

She proceeded without looking at me. "Despite the fact that he is continually 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..." I remarked with a look of wonder.

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

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

"Well, the point is, most of them are girls," she added, knowingly.

I nodded in agreement when I heard what she 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 my prior life, even when proven guilty.

After speaking with Sofia about some other questions to pique my interest, I moved on to the next pages, which are a list of A ranks. There are at least a thousand of them, though it appears to be a large number because the entire continent was counted... 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 Ranks list, I finally found the information I 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.

I carefully examined the information at the bottom to ensure that no details were overlooked.

Name: Jonathan Jackson

Titles: The Puppeteer, The Slippery Thief, Ruthless Jackson

Role: Villain/Criminal

Class: A

Age: 36

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," I pondered.

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

My hands trembled after hearing what he had done. "Well, karma will catch up with him sooner or later."

I'm not overly angry with this person, but I do believe he should be killed. After all, this guy will find me sooner or later. I have a high chance of dying at my current strength. His abilities are also terrifying.

After seeing the huge disparity in power, I clenched my fist tightly, thinking that I had already become very strong. But reality showed me how small and helpless I am right now.

'It appears that Plan B will have to be carried out in advance...' I 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.
