It'll Come Naturally

"William, fetch me the current financial statements of KD Group. Hand over a copy to each of them. Let them decide whether their CEO is exaggerating the situation just to keep his position," Rain ordered. To put it mildly, their survival depended entirely on his existence in the company; to put it harshly, they were nothing but a bunch of dogs fed by him. The difference between them and dogs was they remained disloyal to their master. "Yes, sir!" William strode away. As far as he knew, Rain had invested a big chunk of his personal wealth in KD Group. In other words, forty percent of the company's shares had one rightful owner's name beside it- Rain.

"Alright. Expose the financial documents to us. Who cares?! I just hope you won't end up lamenting this decision," Eugenia said in a sarcastic tone. As a senior executive of KD Group, she was aware of everything that happened in the company, so her retort sounded slightly uncalled-for.

"Eugenia, you needn't to care about his emotions anymore. Do you think a man such as him would have a sense of shame? Don't forget who he is and who we are," Vance said with a strong sense of superiority. Inside his head, Rain had already been defeated. But was he?

"I'd have forgotten about it if you hadn't reminded me of it," Eugenia held her head high in pride soon after being reminded by her husband.

"You're undoubtedly beyond my understanding. But I've one advice for you. Don't be over aggressive. If you try to do more good in this lifetime, then perhaps God will permit you to be born as a human being in your next life instead of a beast again," Rain was exceptionally capable of using very cruel words to get his way under Edward's influence, who he knew was more cruel than him. Therefore, it definitely wouldn't be a cakewalk for them to beat Rain in a verbal debate.

"Rain, don't push me beyond my natural limit," Vance began cursing Rain, brawling in absolute fury.

Noticing that Rain and Vance were fighting with each other, Hannah felt a little relieved. Internally, she started plotting her next move.

"Sir, the financial statements are here," William said after he came back with Rain.

"Go ahead and circulate the statements with them. They have to see the situation with their own eyes," Rain said, glancing at them coldly. They were acting adamant so Rain didn't mind adding fuel to the flame. Angrily, Vance took the financial statements from William. He took a moment for the information to sink in. Finally, he understood the fact that KD Group was actually in a horrible situation yet he was unwilling to believe.

"These data can't be true. Show me the real account book rather than the fake one," he said. In panic, he threw away the papers. He thought it was impossible for KD Group to become a victim of debt.

"I don't care if you won't accept it but this is the truth. If you want to know the reason then please take a look at the incident that happened at the West Hill more than a month ago," Rain said while raising his eyebrows. Now, he felt he was in control here. With his sharp eyes, he glanced at everyone present there.

"Okay, I agree that incident was bad. But what happened after that? I am aware that KD Group has received several big cases after that. How could there be no revenue but only expense?" Hannah felt compelled to speak up and put forth her question. She knew her husband was responsible for this yet she was stunned to hear that the company was weak enough to be knocked down completely. Thus she couldn't tolerate watching her husband get humiliated in front of everyone.

"Aha! Don't sway away from the topic. Right now let us focus! Let's talk about how you have carved out and swallowed the capital of KD Group overtly and covertly," Rain laughed. The reason why he had ignored what they had done was because he had the apparently sinister intention of wanting the KD Group to break down, and then he would be the architect of its rebirth. During that period, the Ke Family would be his loyal subordinates and willing to fulfill his every whim and fancy needs.

"Rain, don't describe yourself as a man of high eminence. What you do behind closed doors is no more presentable than what we do," Vance said. It was not until very recently that they had gotten to know about Rain having invested extensively in order to purchase the KD group's shares. They had been alarmed, anxious and tensed ever since. They feared the obvious possibility of Rain turning out to be the largest shareholder of KD Group sooner or later, after which he might expel them out from the company.

"You people have no right whatsoever to judge me. Regardless of whether I've been egoistic or not, at least I've never embezzled any fund of the company. Therefore, I didn't let the staff of KD Group down. As for you, can you confess to your deeds in public?" Rain let out a cold sneer. Then he passed by them arrogantly and domineeringly.

"Wait a minute. What on earth did that mean?" Vance tried to get even with Rain, but William asked him to refrain from it. William knew that Rain would not spill anything more. If they continued pestering him, the already hostile situation would turn explosive. "Get out of my way! You're a mere secretary. How dare you block my way?!" Vance shouted in fury, as he began feeling inferior due to the underestimation he was exposed to, even from Rain's secretary.

"Mr. Ke, let me give you an advice. You'd better stop annoying the CEO. The reason why the CEO stormed out is that he has had enough of your provocations. If you're so immune and impervious to the ruined affairs of the company that you only want to catch up with him in order to argue with him, I'm afraid the result will reveal itself to be something much worse than what you expect," William said. He had in him a congenital hatred for kids of rich families, so from the very beginning he had despised the several members of the Ke Family, who never avoided a chance to ridicule him.

"What a henchman! You are paid by the Ke Family, not your esteemed master of humble origin," Vance said. Since William had long been an unpleasant sight to his eyes, he was now getting even with him.

"I'm sorry to inform you that I am being paid by the FX International Group instead of KD Group. Thus what you say would mean nothing to me. We consider them as nothing but nonsense," William said irreverently. Previously he had been polite to Vance in consideration of his identity as the second son of the Ke Family, but now he found that it wasn't a sufficient reason anymore. A person who didn't bother to respect himself wasn't worthy of anybody else's respect.

"That's impossible and undeniably outrageous. How could FX International Group pay a KD Group employee?" Vance didn't believe a word of what William had just blurted out. He thought William had said that in order to mislead them.

"That depends entirely on the people currently occupying the important chairs. Whenever our Mr. Xia is in need of anything, our CEO Mu makes sure that he takes care of it. That is to say, as long as Mr. Xia has an intention to control KD Group, he will get it done without the slightest of worry," William said before he took the financial statement copies back. He wasn't going to reveal that just as they had assumed a moment ago, KD Group had in fact received several big cases, each of them having a good margin of profit. The fact that none of those projects had made its way to the revenue report of the company was undeniable.
