Tying Up Loose Ends

Mission Accomplished

Reward: 100 KP

When this message popped up only then did Jin relax his hands. He took a moment to breathe and relax his breath.

'Just why do I have to do this kind of stuff...' He thought to himself before getting off the corpse. 

He looked at the lifeless body for a few seconds before him and thought for a few seconds.

"It's best to make things more difficult for people who will come to investigate this later on..." Jin thought to himself and propped the corpse up. 

He carried it to the bathroom and placed it in the bathtub. He opened the tap water and allowed it to fill the tub. 

'Some soapy foam will make it look like he accidentally died while taking a bath,' Jin grabbed hold of the soap and made the water soapy. A few minutes later it was filled with foam.

"That's enough I think. In the best-case scenario they'll think it was an accident and in the worst—they'll be delayed." Jin finished up with everything and exited the bathroom.

He suddenly thought of something and walked to the side of the bed and opened the drawers. 

"Sweet!" Jin said as he took out a wallet and opened it up.

"10k cash huh? That will do!" With this not only did Jin recover the amount he spent on booking a room in this hotel but he also made a profit of 5k.

In the wallet, a company's card was there. It had the name George Mathew written on it.

'Former Managing Director, Heavy Electronics Limited' The card read.

"That sounds like a high position," Jin said as the company symbol attracted his gaze. 

He furrowed his eyebrows, 'This looks familiar...is this a very famous company?' He thought but didn't ponder much over it. 

When he was about to keep the wallet back in the drawer he suddenly thought: "Won't those investigators find it suspicious if the wallet has no cash?"

Jin took three thousand from his pocket and placed it into the man's wallet.

'I'll take a little loss, it's better than making things more complicated for him in the future,' With that thought he placed the wallet in its original place. 

His gaze fell on a briefcase that was laid there on a study table. 'Nah, it's better to not get involved with more things, I already took some of his money,' Jin was about to go when a system message popped up.

'Well...it's free 50 points' Jin thought and made his way to the briefcase. He wanted to open it up but on second thought decided to do it when he was back in his room.

Grabbing the black briefcase Jin made his way out of the room. He had already gotten familiar with the places where the CCTVs were placed.

They were placed at the entrance of the floor and in the lift. Jin had deliberately taken the fire exit stairs to avoid them when he came down from the 2nd floor.

He once again entered the fire exit door and started walking up. 'This place seems good enough to check the contents,' Jin thought to himself and stopped to open up the briefcase.

He propped the briefcase on the railings and opened it up. Jin's eyes widened when he saw a gun lying there. 

'I've gotten involved in some deep mess...' He thought. How could a regular member of the society possess a gun? With how strict the gun law was it was very difficult for a regular citizen to acquire one...

Jin reached into the briefcase and brought the gun out. He looked at its shiny finish and traced his hands over the barrel. 

A name was written on the side of the barrel, "PIETRO BERETTA..." Jin muttered.

Jin had never heard this name before but it sounded pretty cool to him. At this time a system message indicating his successful completion of the mission also appeared.

The briefcase only had the gun and a small ammo box. Jin carefully placed the gun under his waist and put the ammo box in one of his pockets. With that, he left the briefcase on the stairs and walked up to the 2nd floor.

When he arrived on the 2nd floor he changed his appearance to someone else's and walked towards his room. Near the room there was no CCTV so Jin didn't need to worry about anything.

He soon made his way in and changed back to his original appearance. The guy from the room service was still lying on the ground. It was time to wake him up. 

Jin dragged the man and placed him on the bed and then sprinkled some water over his face and saw him slowly open his eyes. Jin looked at the man with a worried expression as he said.

"Hey! Hey you can hear me?" He asked as the man struggled to open his eyes.

"You fell unconscious all of a sudden. Thank god you're alright," Jin said with a sigh of relief when he saw the man's eyes opening up further.

"What happened..." He muttered.

"I have no idea, you were standing there checking my remote for one second and the next second you slammed on the ground. Do you know how worried I was!" 

"Is that so?..." The man asked as his eyebrows furrowed. He couldn't understand how he had lost consciousness all of as sudden.

"Indeed. I thought it must be due to overworking you so I let you rest here for some time. If you had not woken up after another 10 minutes I would have called for help," Jin emphasized.

"I see...Thank you, Sir," The man thanked Jin and asked, "How long was I asleep," He asked while trying to get up from the bed.

"Not for long, just around 30 minutes," Jin said.

"30 minutes!" He soon got up on his feet but lost his balance for a second. Jin grabbed him by his shoulder and supported him, "Be careful there,"

"Yes, thank you, Sir, I'm sorry for bothering you all this while," The man said apologetically. 

"It's alright, It's important to take care of your health you know, you should let your body rest more," Jin suggested.

"I'll keep that in mind, Oh! I forgot about your AC remote sir!" The man exclaimed.

Jin chuckled when he saw that and said, "Oh, it's alright. I don't know what happened but when the remote fell on the floor earlier it all of a sudden started working," 

The man paused for a while to interpret what was said and while rubbing the back of his head in an embarrassed manner he said, "I'm glad...I'll be going then sir, Thank you for helping me earlier," 

With that, he left the room. Jin soon opened up the system panel. He wanted to see if he could buy anything interesting with the Kill points he had acquired till now.

If you think that Jin's identity might be compromised somehow because of his (careless) actions be sure to comment it down!

I'll note them all down to incorporate while writing future stealth kill scenes.
