Jimmy just looked at the door, after all there was his first power, the chameleon ability will be his.
[3 hours before]
Jimmy had already taken the exam, he was sure he would get a 10, he had already taken the exam many times, he knew the answers by heart.
Now he had another mission, with determination he knocked on the door of Edwin's house
Edwin opens the door and with a smile — "Come in."
You could tell he became a customer.
Although it seemed suspicious that he came in as if nothing had happened, the truth is that this neighborhood was being controlled by Monarch, so almost everyone here is either puppets or hired killers, although Edwin and Verónica are in charge of management, It's not all Monarch in Eldoria.
And although a person as important as Edwin seems to be unprotected, it is not so, Edwin can perfectly handle himself.
To put them in context you can defeat Elementary with a couple of moves, yes it sounds impressive that it takes on an S class like it was nothing, but Elementary is very powerful by A class standards, but for S class it is one of the most weak.
So yes, no matter how much they want to hype up Elementary, in a manga it's a sell-out, it's not that it's weak, it's strong, but there are people who are so, so broken that they break everything and here was one of them.
They went down to the bottom and there was Verónica, sitting next to a TV while she watched Víctor forced to watch a short film.
Verónica — "You remember them"
Victor at this point was crying.
Jimmy — "What's that guy doing here?"
Veronica — "Suffering for all his sins"
Jimmy just sighed, if he had known this, he would not have said anything about Victor, he was a cataclysm that could destroy the entire city, the only one who is capable of facing him is the Shadow Assassin, he was nerfed and most of S-class heroes, the ones who were truly powerful were in other cities, but when they arrived there would only be dust.
Light has not even awakened his powers and if he did, it was not a thousandth of what the Light who faced Victor was, and what's more Light had a lot of help to defeat him, it took approximately 20 S class heroes, to defeat him.
So now there was the biggest time bomb that can be anywhere in the world and he gave it to a boy with matches.
Jimmy — "Víctor is a threat who cannot"
Veronica with crazy eyes — "No... Just because you come from a mysterious background doesn't mean you can tell me what to do, and don't worry I'll kill him, rest assured"
Jimmy wanted to reply, Verónica did not see Víctor in action, she did not know how dangerous he could be, but he resigned himself.
Verónica — "Besides, don't worry, he doesn't even know how to open a window."
Verónica stands up and goes to her desk — "Very well, what do you want to do... or did you come to visit me? If so, I'm very flattered, my shift ends in"
Jimmy — "I have come to know the location of a person"
Veronica looked at Jimmy with a bored face — "Because you ask for very simple jobs."
Edwin — "Be respectful of the customer"
Verónica — "Yes, yes, tell me his name"
Jimmy — "His name is Jacob M"
Veronica — "Ready"
Jimmy — *Ready? *
He turned the screen and had the image of his target
Jimmy is confused — "How?"
Verónica — "Two weeks ago he was released from prison for hiding the fact that he has an ability, he is a shapeshifter, it did not go unnoticed by Monarch"
Jimmy — "Then it is of interest to some association"
Verónica — "No, he has at least 9 restraining orders, he has 28 complaints of sexual harassment, and countless crimes of fraud surrounding the 534 to 765 cases of fraud, curiously in all of those cases the guy has never gotten a single cent from his victims , is completely incompetent.
Then Verónica looked at more data — "According to his psychology, he is a kleptomaniac and mythomaniac, and he also has a certain dependence on drugs... At this point I doubt that any association with common sense would look for him."
Jimmy knew that this was too convenient, that guy put the world on the ropes, he was the terror of all the important people, he was a person who was not even affiliated with an association and yet he did more damage than he is.
Jimmy — "Thank you very much, what is the cost?"
Veronica — "fifty thousand dollars"
Jimmy just stood still.
Verónica — "Our services are not cheap, the first time it was a courtesy, I understand that you were given money... I don't know, worry, you can pay within the period of 7 days, if I spend all the money I think you are not enough stupid to do it you just have to pay me"
and then Veronica put on a serious face — "If not, she will have to pay with her organs."
Jimmy looked serious
Verónica — "Of course in your case you have information, but it has to be big information, so much so that even the crown forgives you for that lack of respect"
Jimmy frowns
Veronica — "Oh, you already know the crown... Incredible, not even Edwin knows its members
Jimmy just looks away, meanwhile Edwin stopped for a moment.
He was able to communicate with the Crown must have been when, but that voice and with voice alterers, and this guy knew his identity, it was impossible, but if he was a time traveler anything was possible.
If William had it in his hands, then he would have key information about Monarch, this convinced him that he should make Jimmy his ally, he was not the typical idiot who believed that everything will be resolved with indiscriminate deaths.
Edwin had a philosophy, and that was stay out of the client's life, and he planned to respect that.
Verónica — "Well, let's go"
Edwin and Jimmy — "Let's go"
Verónica — "Yes, you can use me, don't worry, this will be a special offer, you will have me for 2 hours, 24 minutes and 32 seconds"
Edwin — "You want to escape from your work"
Verónica — "No... I would only be supporting a client"
Edwin — "We do not get involved in the client's personal life"
Verónica — "yes, yes... Come on, this guy has a lot to contribute, and he can do whatever he wants for me."
He had a seductive smile.
Edwin — "Forgive me for my partner, as you have just seen, she is not of sound mind."
Verónica — "Of course I'm crazy about you"
Edwin — "Stop harassing the client"
Jimmy just sighed — "Let me guess, you want to know your brother's location."
A thirst for blood was felt in the room, he looked at Veronica's eyes, they were eyes of pure hatred, rather there was no remorse and behind her was Edwin holding her arm, he had a knife that he had just pulled out.
Verónica — "Tell me where my brother is"
Edwin — "Stop!!"
A great pressure entered Veronica and she was on the ground, she was being crushed by an invisible force, she felt like her bones were about to break.
Jimmy — "Stop"
Edwin stopped, if it weren't for Jimmy stopping him and he was ready to kill her for insubordination.
Verónica got up in pain, even so, she did not suffer serious damage, she could get up
Jimmy — "Your brother is currently in an Association called the holy knights, don't worry, he is safe, they are currently hidden in a catacomb, they believe in the arrival of the King of the world..."
Jimmy remembered his arrival, the city was in ruins, he looked at how 6 figures were behind him.
Veronica — "Then take me"
Jimmy — "Impossible they are on another physical plane, even if they are now on this plane I do not have that information"
Veronica gritted her teeth — "Wait for me in the car, I'll go beat up a dirty shape-shifting pervert."
Veronica leaves
Edwin — "Forgive me for her attitude, she is uncontrollable, she is talented, but she is impulsive and emotional, she still doesn't have much self-control"
Jimmy had a memory
It was a bigger Veronica with short hair, she looked tired with no purpose to live, only living for her sense of revenge, dying in loneliness, ignoring the people who were around her.
Jimmy returned to reality and looked at Edwin — "Don't worry, everyone has their story."
Jimmy — *Maybe she is key to stopping her brother without thousands of lives being sacrificed*
While that whole scene was happening there was a fourth person who took advantage of all the chaos
Victor looked at a window
flashback
[Verónica — "Besides, don't worry, he doesn't even know how to open a window"]
Victor looked at his window.
[hidden ability]
[Apophis]
[Victor, Unaffiliated, SS class]
Victor didn't know who his past self was, but he knew one thing for sure, he wanted to see his wife and daughter, he wanted to live, so he would have to use this opportunity, he had no idea he even had abilities, but he knew that He has to use his powers.
Víctor — *Wait for me, my love and my life, I will be with you soon*
