My Hitman System

Chapter 76: Mission

After sharing a meal with Diana, Jin went back to his hotel. When evening arrived he got a call from Dylan.

"The deal has been finalized," He said from the other side of the phone.

"That's great. How much are they paying me?" Jin asked the main question.

"Well, that…" Dylan paused.

"What? Is there a problem?" Jin asked.

"The thing is since you are a new actor the initial price which they gave was considerably low. However, after haggling with them and stating that without you the chances of the film doing good were considerably low they finally relented," Dylan explained.

"That's alright but can you just state the price now?" Jin asked. He felt that if the price was too low then he would have to wait for some more time before he could freely use all of his money.

"The initial price they gave was 300,000 Draks but I immediately rejected it. After a long negotiation, we finally agreed on 500,000 Draks per scene," Dylan said in a regrettable voice. If not for the fact that Jin was not a new actor he could have pushed this price further.

However, it was only Dylan whose mood was regrettable.

For Jin, the news was incredulous. Never had he thought that he would be able to earn so much money by just a scene! He was already aware of the enormous money that the film industry makes but being signed to receive so much money truly felt unbelievable. Especially when the money was coming through legible means!

'I thought that becoming a Hitman had more money…how stupid I was.' Jin mused to himself. With a steady and enormous income like this, why would he go out of his way to kill people just to earn money? Wouldn't that be stupid?

"I'm sorry…I should have tried harder in negotiations…" Sensing the silence from the other side of the phone Dylan felt that Jin didn't like the price that he mentioned so he started to apologize.

"Huh? What are you talking about? That's a great price! I'm truly happy that you were able to negotiate it to this much," Jin was not cheap with his praises.

"Sigh…that's good. I thought you didn't like the price that's why you were silent," Dylan said with relief.

"It's because I was too shocked, I was just making around 40,000 Draks a couple of months ago and now you're hitting me with 500,000 Draks and too for a single scene!" Jin let out his thoughts.

"That's good…but don't set your expectations too low. It's only a matter of time until they'll be paying you much more…heck you might even be able to negotiate a back-door deal and get some share in the box-office profits of your films," Dylan said with excitement.

"Is that so? But won't it take a lot of time?" Jin asked. He found it absurd that Dylan was getting excited over this issue right now.

"With your talent, no it won't. It's just a matter of time," Dylan said with confidence.

"Well…thanks for your belief in me," Jin said a bit overwhelmed by his words.

Dylan then discussed a few things with him and told him that he would be free the coming week so he could use that time to relax his mind. The actors for other roles were still being auditioned and therefore it will take at least another week for everything to be concluded and the filming to start officially.

"Good night then, take care of your health!" Dylan said before hanging up.

With the call done Jin began his night stretching and finished it in half an hour. By now he was way too sleepy. He was about to go to sleep but suddenly remembered something important. He opened his phone, went to a messaging app and texted Diana.

"Good night, rest well." Jin sent the text.

Diana was busy with her night skincare routine before bed. With a slight smile, she was carefully taking care of her skin. However, in her mind thoughts about her meetings with Jin were going through.

Jin was like a spice that had added flavour to her mundane life and she was savoring the feeling to the fullest.

'He didn't message me…' She thought when she looked at the time. It was around ten and she was about to go to sleep.

'He must be caught in some work,' Diana consoled herself and got ready to go to her bed. However, a notification from her phone caught her attention.

She picked up her phone to check it. The moment she did, her smile widened.

"Good night! See you tomorrow :-) " She immediately replied.

Jin reacted to it with a thumbs up and their little exchange ended.

'He's more considerate than I thought," Diana thought when she saw how deftly Jin ended their exchange rather than continuing to chat with her.

In reality, Jin was just too tired to chat with anyone at the moment. He put aside his phone and closed his eyes only to be disturbed by a system message.

'Huh? What with this mission…shouldn't the system normally assign me missions and reward me with KPs? Why is this one instead telling me to collect them…the only way to collect them is by either doing missions or by killing people…' Jin soon realized that he wouldn't be free during this whole week and sighed regrettably.

He currently had 3500 KPs with him and still needed 6500 KPs more.

No longer in a mood to go to sleep Jin opened up the KIA app on his other phone and went through the various missions as he formulated a plan in his mind. Using Fentanyl was a strict no as just using it would cost him 100KP which was quite a lot since a normal target usually gives him 100-150 KPs.

The only other option left was to use either a gun or a knife.

Although Jin liked using the knife he was currently more inclined towards the gun since he wanted to kill a large number of targets in a limited time. A gun would conserve more of his time since he would be able to kill at a distance.

"Now the only problem is the noise…" Jin muttered as he backtracked on the app and opened up the KIA store from where he could buy weapons and other stuff.

He soon found what he was looking for and ordered it. It cost him 15k Draks including the delivery charges. He paid an extra 5k because he needed it by tomorrow. Instead of the delivery address, they asked him to name the city in which he was. Only that much was required.

With everything done now, his drowsiness returned. Jin switched off the lights thereafter and called it a day.
