Chapter 142: New Skill, Scheme

“I have found all the information that is required. This guy is from an organization known as Death Shadow.

This Death Shadow organization is a well-known assassination organization, having a reputation. They have been involved in the death of many influential figures all over the world, and they have several high level assassins.

They have a special method that they use to contact the hitmen, and this guy does not know where the headquarters of the organization are located.

He was just invited to join the organization, and at that time, it was mainly because the safety of his family was threatened. He was previously a mercenary, and because of his skills, he was invited.

He cannot betray the organization, as that would lead to the death of his loved ones.

As for the one who had issued the mission, he is clueless about it. According to him, the mission was posted on the dark web of the organization.

The bounty was $10 million, and your image was included, with all the basic information on you.

The dark web is disconnected from the normal internet, and they use a different network in order to be able to access it.

I have already obtained a method of accessing it, but I have not yet done so, waiting for your instruction.” Adrian spoke the moment that he entered.

Michael contemplated for a moment. At the same time, he felt like he was being insulted. With him, having assets in billions, why was it that his life was only worth $10 million?

Leaving that aside, it seemed that apart from the gangsters that he knew about, there were a few more organizations out there.

Those organizations usually hid in the dark, and would not be known to the ordinary folk.

If not for today, Michael would not have even known about the existence of this organization known as Death Shadow.

“Just do the investigation, find out who the client might be. I believe that as soon as you can access the dark web of the organization, it should not be a problem for you to be able to find who posted the bounty.” Michael said eventually.

Adrian nodded before he left.

Then, Michael decided to sleep. But, he remembered something. Today, it was 4th of August, the same day that his degree was awarded.

Even though he already had the degree with him, it was finally official out there. Now, if he took out the bachelor’s degree, nobody would cause him any problem, claiming that it was a fake.

The following day would be the time that the masters degree would finally become legitimate.

He could not wait for the following day, to see what thesis was published for him, before he received the degree.

The night went by silently, and Michael woke up the following day. As soon as he did that, he acquired yet another skill, Universal Aerial Operations, which was also pushed to the expert level.

Universal Aerial Operations was a skill that granted complete operational control over all aerial vessels, allowing piloting or coordinated command of any airborne craft, regardless of crew size or complexity.

This skill was quite complex, requiring Michael to go through a lot of information.

Despite how fast he could read, considering that some aerial vessels were operated in different ways, he had no other choice but to read for quite a while. He only finished pushing the skill to the expert level at around 9 a.m.

[Experience full. Universal aerial operations skill upgraded to expert level. +5,000 SP.]

Looking at the prompt from the system, Michael took a deep breath, digesting all the information that was dumped into his mind.

Now that he had this skill, he thought, it would not be bad for him to have a helicopter. That way, if he needed to go somewhere fast, he could just fly the helicopter there.

But there was no hurry for the time being. After all, it was not as though he was planning to go anywhere, at least for the time being.

With the addition of 6,011 SP, his balance was pushed to 38,342 points.

Additionally, the number of skills that he possessed was also pushed to 23, which ranged from chef skills, mathematics, language mastery, unarmed combat skills, accounting, driving, cyber security, swimming, programming, photography, animation/ motion graphics, videography, acting, dancing, fashion design, songwriting, marksmanship, foundation education, drawing, business management, interior design, script writing, armed combat, parkour and finally, universal aerial operations.

With such a large number of skills, he had become even more versatile. As for the skills that he possessed, they were actually not focused on any field.

He had instructed both Adrian and Lucas, telling them that they should just randomly find the skills. That way, he could possess skills from different fields, allowing him to tackle different situations.

After he was done, Michael went to the living room, finding that Adrian was already there, waiting for him.

“According to the investigation that I did yesterday, I found out that the one who posted the mission is David’s father, Ronald Kingsley.

Additionally, that young man who came to cause trouble for you yesterday was also instigated by the Kingsley family.

The two families are usually at odds with each other, considering that they are from two different factions. So, it seems, the Kingsley family understood that you are not an easy target.

They decided to have someone from the Green family to make a move against you, so that you can understand that there is an enmity formed between the two of you.

Then, they decided to hire a hitman, to take you out. That way, even if someone investigated later on, they would pin the problem on the Green family, thereby, they would have managed to eliminate two enemies at the same time.” Adrian began reporting the moment that Michael sat down.

Michael rubbed his chin slightly. It seemed, the Kingsley family was quite thoughtful. This tactic that they had used, if it had been an ordinary rich heir, they would have fallen for it.

But unfortunately, they targeted the wrong person. The previous day, Michael had the ability of dodging that bullet before it was even released from the gun’s muzzle.

But because he wanted to test out just how incredible the armor that he had acquired was, he decided to take a risk and receive the bullet head on. And, it all worked out well, which put him in a good mood.

If not for the fact that he had the armor, and was already beyond the limits of an ordinary human, he would have undoubtedly died the previous day.

And according to the wealth and methods that he had demonstrated so far, many people believed that there was someone behind him.

So, if he had died, they would have investigated, and would have instead targeted the Green family instead of the Kingsley family.

The Kingsley family would have succeeded in dealing with two enemies at the same time, which was quite a good play. But unfortunately, today was going to be their nightmare.

Initially, Michael only intended to target them in the business. But now, since they had gone to the extent that they hired a hitman to come after him, how could Michael let this go?

“You already have the information on the Kingsley family. I want you to use that information to make sure that this family collapses by the end of today.” Michael stated after a moment of silence.

With all the dirt that he had on the Kingsley family, it was quite easy to take them down. Even with the protection of the police chief, it was impossible for them to continue surviving.

And these guys, they were quite difficult to deal with, as they had the police chief in the bright side, and a gangster relation in the dark world.

But unfortunately, with Michael taking action, it did not matter what kind of connections they had. And in fact, it seemed that he would have to deal with those connections as well, to avoid any future problems.

Since he was going to deal with the Kingsley family, it was inevitable that someone would suspect him. After all, with the way that Annex Supermarket chain was bound to rise, many people would believe that he was the one who had dealt with the Kingsley family.

Since that was the case, it was better to deal with everything all at once.

“By the way, do some investigation on the police chief. Find all the dirt that you can on him, and make sure that he is dismissed from his position as soon as possible.” Michael said once again.

As long as the police chief was taken out, the others could be easily handled. After all, at the moment, Michael was not willing to go against the government.

But if it was just a group of gangsters, he would just beat them up.

Thinking about taking care of the gangsters, he quickly bought the adaptive dermal lattice armor from the system. It was not just for Adrian, but for the others as well.

With a total of 5 bio humans, Michael ended up spending 2,500 SP, bringing the balance down to 35,842 points.

“Take this. One for yourself, and distribute the others to Damian and the others. It can ensure your safety.” Michael instructed as he handed the cases that contained the injector to Adrian, before instructing him on how to apply it.
