My Hitman System

Rakhi was a desert city and dunes welcomed one's vision in whichever direction one looked from here.

It was called a city only because of the large population. The amenities were nowhere near those of Umroi.

All the houses were made of mud bricks baked under intense heat for strengthening.

The houses formed from these bricks had two or even three storeys, indicating how skilled the natives were in their craft.

Jin and the crew stopped at one such location.

It was named 'Sandy Peak' on the sign board and was a motel.

It had five three-storyed buildings under it and they were enough to accommodate all of the crew members.

"Alright, guys. It's five in the evening now. Go and freshen up in your rooms, and then we'll discuss some things over dinner before calling it a day," Anderson addressed them when they got off the bus and went to his room.

Fana chatted with Katy and the rest as she whined about the hot climate and how sweaty she was while observing Jin with her side eye.

Jin was not interested in the small conversations so he just said a few things before making his way towards one of the five buildings.

Seeing that he had chosen to go towards the third building a smirk appeared on Fana's eyes narrowed before focusing back on her conversation with the group.

After chatting with the group for a few more minutes she approached the building which Jin had decided to stay in and went towards the room she was allotted at the reception.

She didn't forget to bribe the receptionist a little so that her room was closer to Jin's.

After freshening up in her room when she got out for dinner she met Jin who too had just exited his room.

"Oh, that's a surprise," Jin showed a surprised expression seeing that she was staying right next to her.

"Haha, I am more surprised than you," Fana said after feigning a more surprised reaction than Jin with her gestures and continued, " However, I feel more comfortable knowing that the person next to me is you. If something bad happens I can rely on your fighting skills right?" Fana joked.

One of things they talked about while in the bus was related to his fight against the terrorists on the hijacked flight.

"Sure, I'll be sure to give some sense to the bad guys," Jin completed the joke and snorted with a grin.

The next moment they made their way outside towards the dinner spot.

It was around seven in the evening and with no sun in sight, the temperature plummeted.

It was a typical climate pattern of a desert region.

They soon gathered around a huge flame next to which there were plenty of tables and chairs.

Max, Katy and Golu were also waiting for them there.

They soon sat next to them and started chatting about different stuff while enjoying the clear night skies which were very unlike the skies in the cities.

Anderson soon arrived and their discussion cum dinner started.

After addressing certain issues with other actors Anderson told Jin, "Just like you've requested, I've toned down your intimate scenes. There will just be close bodily contact like touching and hugging along with playful physical gestures, I believe you won't have a problem with them right?"

"Yes, and thank you," Jin said gratefully.

"No problem, since you're in a serious relationship it can't be helped. It might be a loss if you were some other actor, but with your skills, I believe even without explicit scenes this movie will be able to make a deep impression on the audiences' minds.

"I'm glad you think so," Jin humbly replied.

Seeing all this Fana just maintained a casual smile on her face and continued with her dinner.

Her laid-back demeanour would make it almost impossible for anyone to guess the wretched plan that was brewing in her mind.

When the dinner finished she walked back to her room along with Jin.

"Good night Jin," Fana said cheerily.

"Yes, good night," Jin who had no idea about her wicked plans casually replied and entered his room.

Seeing Jin's dull response Fana's smile widened as she too entered her room.

There was a spray bottle and a bracelet casing placed on her dressing table.

She had acquired the spray from the underground market with Patrick's help earlier.

To the uninitiated, it looked to be a normal fragrance with a good scent to it but it wasn't just that.

The scent had potent aphrodisiac properties.

After an exposure of fifteen to twenty minutes a person's innate desires would start acting up.

This was a crucial piece which would turn her plan to make Jin hers a reality.

Fana approached her dressing table and sat down on the small wooden stool.

She gently opened up the casing inside which the bracelet was kept.

A purplish glimmer reflected back at her.

Seeing the hexagonal-shaped gem which sparkled under the yellow light of the room Fana fantasized about her future for a couple of seconds and a grin formed on her face.

Her hand then reached for a safety pin and with it, she pricked her index finger a little.

The few droplets fell on top of the gemstone and got absorbed by it in a matter of seconds.

One drop…two drop…three drops...fifteen drops.

It was only then that the gem's purplish colour changed and turned red.

At this moment the gemstone looked similar to a normal ruby but among its users, it was known as Legata.

Seeing the familiar reddish colour Fana was reminded of the time when she last saw this gemstone.

'It's been fourteen years since then... ' Just when the images from that time started flashing in her mind she shook them all away.

They weren't pleasant memories.

"Things are different now, this time it's me who will be using its powers and not the other way around…"

Fana chuckled to brighten her dulled mood and closed the casing of the bracelet to preserve the gemstone's properties.

After a while she turned off the lights and went to sleep.
