My Hitman System-Chapter 148: New Beginnings (E)
In a dimly lit room, a man was sprawled on a chair. Beside him was a small round table on which a glass half filled with rum, a rum bottle and an old piece of newspaper were placed.
The newspaper was a few months old, and on its front page, Jin's picture was shown.
The man had a crooked face and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes as he looked at the TV screen.
On the television, a live broadcast of the LIFA awards was happening. Whenever the screen showed Jin's appearance, the hatred in his eyes increased.
At that moment, an underling entered his room and said, "Boss, all the preparations have been finished."
"Good," the man nodded and continued, "We cannot afford to fail this time."
"Yes, boss," The underling soon left the room.
The man reached for the glass and took a sip as his gaze once again hovered on the television screen.
'Before going, I'll make sure to leave you a gift, Jin Blaker,' he said as he saw Jin making his award speech.
The victorious smile on Jin's face as he shared the stage with Fana fanned the man's desire to ruin Jin's life, which was built at the cost of him.
-------
Meanwhile, at the award show.
Jin and Fana patiently waited for every award to be given, and the award ceremony finally finished by half past ten at night. What followed was a dinner party.
Many actors, actresses and directors approached Jin and congratulated him while showing their interest in working with him in the future.
While at it, they also congratulated Jin and Fana on their future together.
From his speech, it was clear that Jin wanted to marry Fana, and to those who wanted to start a conversation with him, starting with this topic was the best way to proceed.
Throughout the dinner party, Anna kept looking for moments to find Jin alone so that she could clear all the questions in her mind, but Jin never separated from Fana.
"She was stuck to him like a leech the whole time!" Anna fumingly muttered as the dinner party ended and she was forced to give up.
After bidding everyone goodbye, Jin and Fana got in their Limousine and were soon dropped off at home.
When Jin entered the house with a teasing expression, he said, "You've had that excited grin plastered on your face throughout our return journey."
"After what you've done today, how could I not be excited?! My career as an actress will once again bloom starting tomorrow," Fana said with excitement.
"That's all good, but I still haven't received my thanks," Jin said as he pointed to his cheeks and smiled at her.
"Hehe, let me change first and I'll make sure to thank you throughout the night," Fana chuckled as she entered the washroom soon after.
When the night deepened, the two bodies entwined against one another as passionate shrieks reverberated around their bedroom.
It was only a few hours before sunrise that they finally decided to rest.
It was only by eight in the morning that Fana's eyes opened up, and she saw Jin's sleeping figure next to her.
She caressed Jin's hair with a smile and thought, 'I'll bring up the topic of court marriage to him this week. With that, I can blatantly ask him for another 10 million Draks.'
Fana glanced at the bracelet adorned with a red gem wrapped around her hand. From how it was looking, she'll need to buy another one within this month.
'Good thing I asked Angelica for help,' Fana smirked. Thanks to Angelica, she was able to get 10 million Draks from Jin without any issue.
Their so called designer clothing had cost only about 3 million Draks, and the rest was eaten away by the two of them.
She soon reached for her phone and started browsing the internet. Just like she had predicted, there were lots of articles about her and Jin.
Most were positive but there were many articles berating her for trapping a young man as well, but she didn't care about them.
'In the end, they too are contributing to my fame,' She thought with a grin and continued reading more articles.
She suddenly felt an arm over her shoulder, and she turned around to see Jin's smiling face.
"Good morning, darling," he said.
"Good morning, sweetheart, I'm all sore from last night, you know?" Fana complained with a grieved expression.
Seeing her expression, Jin chuckled and said, "Who told you to have such a fine body? I just can't help myself."
Jin's hand slowly caressed her legs as he said that.
A knowing smile formed on Fana's face, and with a sultry smile she said, "You are not half bad as well," she reached for his lips and the two of them once again lost themselves in pleasure.
----------
Days passed.
Fana had already told Jin about her desire for court marriage, and he was making the required arrangements, side by side with his shooting.
Anderson had called him up, so his regular shooting had started.
Meanwhile, Fana had also received invites for roles, and she was working on her acting skills.
Every evening when Jin returned from his shooting, she would tell Jin to analyse her acting.
Thanks to Jin's suggestions, her acting was starting to visibly improve.
One evening, when Jin was returning from work, he received a message that he hadn't received in a while.

'This...' Jin made an uncomfortable expression when he saw this mission.
He had been deliberately avoiding that place for a while now.
He knew that his father had given some important information to Diana's father.
He was the only link Jin had towards finding that information, but with his current happenings with Diana, he was finding it difficult to make up his mind and visit him.
"So even the system's telling me to not delay it any longer," Jin muttered as he turned the steering wheel and drove towards the nursing home.
