My Hitman System

Chapter 50: Playing into Henry's Hands

Jin sighed when as he came out of the hospital. By now it was already late in the evening. He had never thought that a simple question like 'What reward do you want?' would make him question his whole actions until now.

He picked up his phone and looked at his bank balance.

'Is this the reason why I'm no longer interested in the rewards?' Jin thought. He had been receiving 10,000 Draks daily from Mr. Robert as promised. After adding the 50,000 Draks bonus from Henry this was the amount of money he had in his account.

'190,000 Draks'

It would have taken more than a year to save that much money if he had depended upon his 40K Draks wage from the school. It could be said that he was finally in a state of abundance. What was even better was the fact that if he kept on doing the organization's missions more and more money would keep piling up in his account.

'Wait…am I looking forward to getting that money or being able to do those missions?' Jin thought as he called for a taxi outside.

Jin didn't want to think over this matter any longer so he decided to give his philosophical side a break for now. There was another matter he was a bit annoyed about.

It was the reward he had got for the earlier mission. The reward clearly stated that he would be getting Henry's trust as a reward but the mission accomplishment notification had something else for him:

Henry White Heart's Trust (40%)

'Just how low was his trust earlier that it had only raised to 40 % now.' Jin thought as he got in the taxi that had arrived. His destination is the White Heart's Estate.

After freshening up in his room Jin's mind was much clearer. Since he had no idea on what to request from Henry he decided to talk about this matter with Mr. Robert.

Soon a reply from Robert came.

"Things have progressed much sooner than I had anticipated. You did a fantastic job. Since you've saved his daughter's life, he's definitely not faking it when he said that he'll reward you with anything. So, here's what you need to do…"

Robert told Jin that when he meets Henry after two days, he should directly ask him for the ownership of one of his Sapphire mines. If Robert could he could have told Jin to ask everything out of Henry but he knew he couldn't.

What Jin could request from Henry was limited even though he had told Jin that he could request anything from him. Taking that into account Robert told Jin to request for that mine. Among the various requests which Henry might agree to Robert felt that this one would be the most beneficial for him.

He told Jin to dip from his job after acquiring that mine and then give it to him. As a reward for all this, he told Jin that won't have to worry about money ever in his life.

"Got it," Jin replied. He knew that Robert was trying to take advantage of him by saying just 'You'll never worry about money after this' but Jin let that be. The reason? He had no idea what to do with the mine after acquiring it. He had zero business skills so giving it to Robert made sense.

In this way, they'll be able to end their partnership on a good note. With all this done, Jin rested his tired self on the bed. It had been a long and tiring day today and his body needed its well-earned rest.

…

The next day Jin visited his old rented apartment in the afternoon. It was a bit dirty so he spent some time cleaning the room and everything. It didn't feel right to him to leave the house just like that after seeing its condition.

After cleaning the house, he went out to have lunch at a restaurant nearby. And ordered a jug of beet after it. He spent the next couple of hours sipping the beer while watching everything going on around him.

Now that he was not in the rush time seemed to have been slowed for him as his sight took in everything going on around him. With the beer taking effect he once again thought about the reason why he was living a dangerous life like this.

He had come to realize that it was not for money. If it was then he would be doing missions like a rabid dog in an attempt to earn more and more money now that he had become a Killer and was able to access several open missions on his mobile app, KIA.

"So, it's really not about the money huh?" Jin muttered as he gulped down the last bit of beer in the glass and stood up from the seat.

There were still plenty of hours left for the day to be over so Jin decided to put his mind at ease and watch a movie. An action movie!

"I can finally watch an action movie! Finally, I'm free from her clutches!" Jin said in his drunk state as he made his way to the nearest theatre.

'Warring Skies' The poster indicated that it was a sci-fi space movie involving a lot of action.

"Now that's the type of shit I dig," Jin nodded to himself and bought a ticket before making his way in.

That's how he spent the first day of his leave. His second day also wasn't very fruitful, he lazed around the majority of the day and walked around the area to pass his time before his body was all tired up.

In such an uninteresting manner, Jin finished the two days of his leave.

The next day Jin changed back to the appearance of William and reported outside Henry's office at around nine in the morning.

Knock Knock Continue your journey with ???

"Come inside," Henry's voice escaped through the closed door.

'Hopefully, he'll agree to it,' Jin thought as he made his way into the room.
