My Hitman System

Chapter 55: Zenith BioTech



Jin woke up around 4 in the morning. He wanted to give a little surprise to Henry therefore he had decided to wake up early.

A few minutes later he left his home.

After having breakfast Henry entered his office to review the information he needed to give to Jin.

"You sure took your while," A voice entered his ears and Henry was forced to look sideways as his eyes expanded in surprise. On a sofa there Jin was leaning on his seat while playing a game on his phone.

"I-I didn't know that you were waiting…otherwise I would have come early," Henry who had lost his composure soon regained it and spoke.

"Sit," Jin said as he pointed towards the sofa in front of him.

Henry didn't refuse and did what he was told.

"Tell me what have you discovered," Jin's voice entered his ears.

Henry had been waiting for those words as he soon told everything that he was able to find out about Kevin.

"From what I've discovered so far, Kevin after completing his MD went on to join the Vaccine Research Association. It's the leading institute of our country known for researching and creating vaccines.

There he did research work for two years and then joined the leading pharma company, Zenith BioTech.

Now here comes the problem, after that no matter who I asked I was unable to find any information about him. It's as if that its all been deliberately hidden…"

Jin hears what Henry has to say and asks, "Where is this Zenith BioTech located?"

"It's a multinational company. Its main branch in our country is in the capital, Neon City. So if you're looking for him then starting there would be a good option," Henry finished. He too was getting curious over this case.

His college friend seemed to have disappeared out of existence. Even if he was dead there were bound to be traces but for his case…there were none. And for god knows why this dangerous man in front of him was on the lookout for his friend.

There were too many questions on Henry's mind but no one to ask them to…He could only sigh internally at his plight.

While Henry's mind was going through this turmoil Jin stood up from his seat seeing which Henry too got up.

"This is going to be our last meeting, provided you don't do anything stupid, you understand?" Jin asked as he adjusted his dishevelled clothes a bit.

"Y-yes, I understand," Henry immediately replied while nodding.

"Good, Live well then," Jin said as he soon left the room. Henry sighed in relief when he saw him leaving the room and he sat back down on the sofa. This life-threatening problem was finally sorted out.

He believed Jin's words because if he wanted to kill him and Rachael then they would both be dead by now. His entering his mansion in the morning without anyone knowing was enough of a proof.

While everything was going on Rachael who had returned back home was sitting on the balcony lost in her own thoughts. The void that Jin's departure had created was felt by her throughout this last week and it seemed to be getting deeper and deeper over time.

She still had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Jin but there were also some questions she had gotten answers to by herself.

She was in love with Jin. She never had this feeling before with any other male and now that He left this feeling became more pronounced and made her realize what it actually was.

But alas…It seemed like her first love was meant to be a failure. She stood up and leaned towards the railing as she looked around the mansion from up above.

The estate looked so vast and beautiful from up here yet it was insufficient to curb that ache which she felt in her heart. With a despondent sigh, she was about to turn back when she saw a figure walking out of the mansion.

Curious she glanced at the figure and saw the back of the person. Although it was just a back Rachael's eyes widened at the sight of it. She could forget everything but not that reliable back. She had etched that view in her mind when she had seen him fighting those thugs to save her.

'"Will-"

Cough! Cough!

She tried to shout his name and make him stop but was met with a fit of cough. Her throat had still not recovered from that incident since the doctor had told her to rest her throat for two weeks.

While trying to hold as many tears back from the coughing she ran out of her room and rushed downstairs. She didn't want to lose even his chance of meeting Jin.

She opens the door and rushes towards Jin's figure. With the distance between the two decreasing, she once again calls out his name and this time Jin was able to hear it.

Jin turns around just to see a panting Rachael who is gasping for air with tears in her eyes. He had no idea how to react to such a situation so he could only say "…Yes?"

"Huff…You…Huff…" Rachael tried to speak but she had not yet recovered from running so much and was taking her time.

"Catch your breath, I'm not running anywhere," Jin waited for Rachael to catch her breath.

After a while Rachael finally let her heart out,

"Y-you! Why! Why did you do it?!" Rachael asked hysterically.

"Since when did I need to explain myself to you?" Jin stared down at her and continued, "You must have forgotten that I no longer work for you,"

"Was that all an act then? Your saving me? Having fun with me? Tell me! Was that all a lie?!" Rachael asked. She was adamant about getting a reply from Jin.

However, Jin wasn't so keen on answering her. He just stared at her hysterical self and understood that she wouldn't be satisfied with any of his answers so he just replied rudely, "Think whatever you like, I'll be going then,"

He turned his back on her and started walking.

"Wait!" She tried to call him out but Jin didn't stop.

"I said wait!" She tried once again only to be completely ignored by Jin. Tears had started pouring down her eyes by now. Her heart ached by being treated like this by this person but she didn't want him to leave like this. Seeing Jin's figure distancing away from her she finally couldn't hold herself back anymore.

"I love you! You bastard I love you! So please waittt!" She cried roughly. Her throat pained just to get her words across but she still overcame it and completed her words.

Hearing this sudden confession how could Jin not be stunned? He stopped in his tracks and looked back at her. Rachael too looked towards him both while being swept in a lot of emotions but there was a little expectation in her heart…that after knowing this Jin might accept her.

However, that was too good to be true.

"This isn't a bloody romance movie where I'll come running after you now that you've confessed your feelings to me," Jin replied after a while and continued, "However, since your eyes look so desperate for a reply, I'll make things easy for you. I don't like you Rachael, get over it."

With that said, Jin turned around and soon walked out of the estate. Rachael just stood there in shock as tears endlessly poured out of her eyes as she saw her first love shattering right in front of her eyes.
