My Hitman System

Chapter 40: Red Night

After coming back, it was work like usual. Jin usually worked until eight o'clock in the evening. After that, he went out of the estate. Although he was supposed to always remain close to Rachael things were a bit lenient when she was at home. Therefore, he could go out at night if he wished to.

Jin had a light dinner at a restaurant outside as he observed the location on the system's map. It was a nightclub. To be precise, it was a place under the nightclub. Jin had a few recollections about the Killer Selection Test from William's memories.

Agent William had attended them a couple of times but only as an observer. He never dared to participate because of how dangerous they were. Moreover, he wasn't very much interested in getting promotions in the organization.

If not for the fact that the organization had blackmail material against him, he wouldn't even participate in the monthly missions he was assigned. Talking about monthly missions, Jin realized something which he had missed until now.

All the monthly missions which William had been assigned until now involved one of the following: theft, threatening the target to get some information, Kidnapping or a mixture of all three of them. None of the missions assigned were for killing people.

This meant that if he needed to get missions involving killing then he needed to up his rank in the organization. The lowest in the organization were called Agents. They numbered quite a lot and all the miscellaneous shady tasks of the organization were carried out by them.

Next in rank came Killer. Just like the name, a Killer needs to do only one thing and that is to kill. Each of them was very proficient in unarmed combat and had no qualms about taking someone's life. There were more ranks but William wasn't aware of them. It was something that would only be revealed after one had become a Killer.

Jin got up from his seat and took a taxi to the nightclub. Since he was no longer lacking in money taking a taxi didn't make him feel a pang in his wallet.

'It feels good to have money,' Jin thought as the taxi moved towards the destination. He had whatever he wanted in the restaurant for dinner and didn't need to look at the menu. It was surely a good feeling.

An hour later, Jin had reached the destination.

'Red Night' That's what the club's name was. It looked quite popular as there was a long line outside. It was still 10 PM so there was still an hour for the selection test. Jin patiently waited in line and finally made his way in after fifteen minutes.

His ears were welcomed with loud music the moment he entered the place. Red lights were being flashed all around and men and women were dancing crazily to the beats. Most of them looked high and had no awareness of their surroundings.

'Would they believe if someone told them that this place was the base of a Hitman Organization?' Jin thought as he made his way further in.

He made his way through a swarm of people to the other side. On the way, he met with a few drunk and scantily clad women who moved their arms over him. He was a bit tempted but he was clear on his goals. Jin shook those thoughts out of his mind and soon left the crowd of people and made his way forward.

It was a two-way door which was guarded by two bulky men. On the top of the door, it was clearly written: Staff Only

Jin approached the two men and before they could say anything he passed his phone to one of the men. The man took Jin's phone and took out a scanner from his back pocket. He scanned the phone's back with it.

An invisible bar code was marked on the back of all phones issued by the organization.

"BEEP" A green light soon appeared on the scanner and Jin was allowed in. Jin took out a black surgical mask from his pocket and wore it before walking through the door.

"Go straight and then take a right, you'll see stairs going down," One of the guards had said when Jin entered the door.

Jin followed the instruction and soon there was a flight of stairs going down in front of him. He walked straight down. After walking down what felt like 50 steps, he finally reached the basement.

Another two-way door was in front of him but this was guarded by no one. Jin pushed it open and the moment he did his sight was welcomed by a large group of people who were encircling a raised platform around 12mX12m in dimensions.

The platform was currently empty though the light was directed onto it. The surroundings were comparatively dark. There were a lot of people of were agents just like Jin. A lot of them were wearing different masks as well but there were also quite a few who just didn't care and showed their faces.

Jin checked the time and there were still 20 more minutes until the start of the test.

A man wearing a mask approached Jin and asked, "Do you want to observe or participate?"

"Participate," Jin said.

"Very well, follow me," The man guided Jin to the front of the crowd and he was made to sit on a chair in the front row. There were five other people already sitting there and Jin was the sixth.

The moment Jin approached all five pairs of eyes were directed towards Jin scrutinizing him from top to bottom.

Jin took his seat under their gazes.

"Are you scared of showing your face little man?" a bulky-looking man among the participants taunted Jin once he took his seat.

"Your gay ass will fall for me, so yes I am," words left Jin's mouth without much thought. These guys were his competitors so he had no intention of acting nice.

"Tch, I'll rip that mouth of yours later," The man replied in anger. He wanted to take action but was restrained because of the test. He didn't want to get disqualified for acting rashly.

"You're welcome to try if you don't value your life," Jin replied in an uninterested manner and continued to ignore the man from there on.

The man too stopped after gritting his teeth in anger when he saw that Jin was no longer paying attention to him. Time passed by quickly and another participant soon took the seat and the test finally began.
