My Hitman System

The next morning Jin slept until ten and woke up fully rejuvenated. He ordered his breakfast from the room service and got into the bathroom to freshen up.

A few minutes later Jin was having his lunch while checking his system store.

Just like the previous mission had promised, a new item was there in his system store now. However, he had no clue where to use it. Yesterday night he had been too tired to think about it so he had postponed it until morning.

'It would be of great help if I knew what this bug did. I can't just spend 10,000 KP so recklessly' Jin thought as he tapped the 'Nano Recon Bug' in his musings.

A small pop-up box containing information about the bug soon appeared.

"Well, that's convenient," Jin said in delight as he read through the information.

||A bug smaller than what eyes could spot. It comes with a handheld device for manual movement control but can work on autopilot. Has a 10-day battery life. Can take Ultra high-definition pictures and videos and transmit them to the output device.||

"Hmmm," Jin went through the information but still couldn't think of anything at the moment where he could use this bug.

"Whatever, it's a good tool for spying on people so it might come in handy in future," Jin said as he put away the system screen.

Jin then opened the KIA app and looked at something with a smug expression on the user page.

||KILLER RATING- 7.6||

Earlier he was just at a 4.1 rating but thanks to all the missions he did during these few days his rating had increased tremendously. As to what this rating does? Good question! Jin will answer that in my stead.

"Upon reaching a rating of 8 it says that I'll be receiving a promotion test invitation from the organization…It most likely would be like the Killer selection test then but I wonder what my title would change to this time? Shadow reaper? Silent Death? ... Hehe I can't wait for that to happen," Jin mused to himself with an excited expression.

The rest of the time till afternoon was spent by him in his mental shooting range honing his shooting skills. It was not something that would stay perfect always, he needed to practice it regularly to ensure that his shots wouldn't miss.

Since training like this was boring from time to time Jin attempted some trick shots however a majority of them missed the targets and the ones that did hit the target were only hit by flukes.

Time passed and it was soon afternoon.

"Yo! Something good happened?" Jin asks when he sees Diana leaving the office with a happy expression on her face.

"Something great happened!" Diana replied cheerfully.

"Is that so? Tell me about it then," Jin said as the two of them started walking towards their regular restaurant.

"You remember I told you about our workload increasing because of the branch head being called to the main office?" She asked Jin.

"Yes, I remember you were whining about it at that time and the following days ahead," Jin said after a thought.

"Yes! Guess what? Apparently, he's promoted and won't be coming back," Diana said with a smile.

"Huh? Isn't that bad news for you? Why are you smiling?" Jin asked with a slight furrow.

"Hehe the thing is that the new branch head would be arriving on Monday, that is 2 days later. I and my team can finally relax a bit when that time comes," Diana said in a relieved manner.

"So it's like this," Jin nodded. At the same moment, a mission panel popped up in front of him.

-x-x-x-x-Mission-x-x-x-x-

Objective: Plant the bug in the branch head's office.

Reward: NIL

Penalty: Delay in uncovering your father's past

Intel:- The new branch head needs to get familiar with everything so there might be an important exchange of information between him and others which might be exactly what the host is looking for.

Jin's raised his eyebrows upon reading through the mission intel.

"By the way…since he's the branch head his office must be pretty secure right?" Jin asked.

"Hmm? Where is this coming from?" Diana asked since she was caught off guard by this question.

"Just a scene from the movie script which entered my mind the moment you mentioned the branch head," Jin made up an excuse.

"I see. You guessed right. I've heard that if one wants to enter his office then they would need to get both their fingerprint and iris scanned outside the room's entrance. They mostly spend their time in their office so it's very difficult to catch a glimpse of them, in my tenure of 5 years now I was only able to see the branch head in person about ten times," Diana said without a thought.

"Only ten times? They must be really busy. Does that mean you won't be able to see the branch head when he arrives on Monday?" Jin probed further.

"Nope, there's going to be a welcoming ceremony for him in which he would be addressing us, you know…the typical boring stuff," Diana answered.

"Don't fall for him if he's handsome alright?" Jin joked to change the topic. He had already formulated a plan in his mind.

"Don't worry in my heart there's only my research," Diana giggled at his words as the two finally reached the restaurant.

"I'm both disappointed and assured after hearing that..." Jin acted to be disappointed.

"You thought I would say that I only got you in my heart or what? It's still 100 years too early for something like that to happen," Diana teased him back.

"Good thing I got a long lifespan then," Jin replied with a straight face thereby inviting an amused expression from Diana.

After having a savoury meal together Jin walked her back to her office since she was not in a rush like yesterday.

"Oh! I forgot to ask. Where have you decided to take me tomorrow? You remember right?" Diana asked all of a sudden.

"Since it was my idea then how could I forget? As for the location, I got just the right place in my mind so you don't need to worry about it," Jin said with assurance.

"Hey, that's not right you know? I'm dying from curiosity," Diana complained playfully.

"Try to stay alive until tomorrow then," Jin didn't fall for her tricks.

"You meanie~" Diana sulked cutely when she heard Jin's remark.

This invited a light chuckle from Jin seeing which Diana too laughed along with him.

"Here you go then, I'll message you about the details of tomorrow's plans by tonight," Jin waved his hand at her.

"Got it," Diana waved back and entered her office.

Jin soon stopped a cab and sat inside.

"To the nearest jewellery store please," Jin told the cab driver. It was time to initiate his plan.

"Right at it sir," The driver replied and stepped on the accelerator the next moment.
