My Hitman System

"Haha ikr!" Anna laughed at something Jin mentioned.

Seeing this, Fana who sat two rows behind them diagonally clicked her tongue in irritation.

'This bitch…' She thought.

Earlier,.when she has seen the seat beside Jin vacant, she was beyond happy.

She had intended to sit next to Jin and get to know him better but a variable named Anna Hayes suddenly popped out of thin air.

Seeing Jin interacting so openly with Anna, Fana furrowed her brows.

'Relax Fana, looking at how he's acting she's just a friend…besides won't you be getting many more chances later?' A smirk appeared on her face as she glanced at the sheet of paper she was holding.

It was the movie script.

It would not be wrong to say that the whole shooting here in Umi would be centered around Jin and her.

She glanced at Anna once last time and snorted before focusing back on reading her script.

Meanwhile, Jin and Anna grew tired of talking and decided to watch a movie on the personal television system given to them.

The flight was 6 hours long so they should be able to complete a film or two by the time they landed at Umroi airport.

Six hours later,

"Ugh! I hate flying," Dylan muttered in a depressed manner.

It looked like his flying experience didn't go well.

"How many times?" Jin asked seeing the brown paper bag in Dylan's hand.

"Three…" Dylan replied with a sigh. His body looked very weary.

"Damn, you'll fall like this, let me help you with that," Jin took the airbag Dylan carried in his hand.

"Thanks," Dylan weakly smiled at the gesture.

After ollecting their baggage they made their way out.

"Oof, it's so hot here," Anna fanned herself with her hand the moment they exited the airport's air-conditioned interior.

Beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads even though not even a minute had passed.

"It isn't called a desert for nothing," Jin added.

They booked a few cars and around fifteen minutes later they all left for their hotel.

Umroi, the capital of Umi country looked similar to any regular urban city with sky-scraping buildings and lush green trees here and there.

For the first-timers who visited the country, it was like a shock since they had a preconceived notion in mind that the whole country was barren since it got a desert in its name.

Anna, Jin and Dylan were in the same cab.

All their eyes hungrily took in the new scenery through the cab's window and savoured it.

A while later Anna asked Jin, "What's your plan after reaching the hotel?"

"It's already four in the evening so I'll just rest and go through the scripts for tomorrow," Jin said after a thought.

"Huh? You're a grown man, what do you mean by rest? It's our first day here. Let's go and explore around the place," Anna suggested with spark in her eyes.

No traces of travelling fatigue could be seen on her face.

Seeing her like this Jin too was influenced a bit and after a thought relented.

'It's better to get familiar with the surroundings as soon as possible,' Jin thought.

At half past four, they reached the hotel.

While being guided to his room Jin asked the hotel staff about places to visit nearby and noted them in his mind.

After placing his luggage Jin splashed some cold water on his face to freshen up and left for the lobby.

Not long after Anna too arrived and together they left in a cab for the market nearby.

The market was brimming with life at this time.

Hoards of people were roaming in the streets and random voices filled the scene.

"It feels so good to roam around in public and not be recognised," Anna sighed.

"You bet," Jin shared the same sentiments.

"Ma'am come here and check these items!"

"10.0% OFF on all goods"

"Limited time deal!"

"Sir we got good shoes here right for you!"

Since the two of them were foreigners it was natural for them to attract the attention of various shopkeepers.

Anna, wanting to see and try new things, entertained them all and the two of them moved from one shop to another.

"Jin look there's a 100% off, they are even willing to give us everything for free! Is this the perk of being a foreigner?" Anna's eyes shined when she saw the board.

Seeing this Jin sighed, "Look carefully there's a decimal after the first zero...it's 10%"

Like this an hour passed by.

"Look at this ma'am, it's an hourglass with sand that has been brought from the eastern desert. The desert sand is known for its rich iron content that's why this sand is red, how about it? It's just 1200 Piso," A vendor introduced his item to Anna.

"Good! I'll take it," Anna exchanged her money real quick and handed over the bag to Jin.

"Here, my gift to you for tagging along with me today,"

Jin accepted the bag and said, "While I appreciate the gift I think it's time we should leave. Dylan messaged me that Mr Anderson wants to have a team meeting during the dinner,"

"It can't be helped then," Anna sighed in disappointment and the two of them soon returned to the hotel with bags loaded with items in hand.

After Jin had freshened up he came down to have dinner with the rest of the team.

Since it was related to work Anna didn't accompany him.

Jin soon found Mr Anderson sitting at a table with other actors he met at the airport.

Jin greeted them and their discussion about tomorrow's shooting soon began.

"Tomorrow at 8 AM we'll leave for the sight. The necessary preparations have all been made.

We'll be here in Umroi for a few days then go to Rakhi, the border city, to shoot desert-related scenes and then we'll go to Morose for the last leg of our shooting.

Since we are tight on time I want everyone to give their best. We can't afford to waste time with a lot of retakes so I won't tolerate half-ass performance you understand?" Anderson asked in the end.

Everyone nodded to his words.

After a while, the topic of discussion lightened down and the dinner finally arrived.

When it was nearing the end Jin suddenly opened his mouth thereby attracting everyone's attention.

"Mr Anderson, I would like to suggest some changes in my script," Jin raised a point all of a sudden which attracted everyone's attention.
