The eyes of everyone inside the dining hall were all locked on like magnets to Wang Reiji. Each pair staring with anticipation, eager to know what will her answer be.
Before Wang Reiji gave her reply, she took a sip of her tart cherry juice to clear her throat.
"I still have those troubling memories from the past and sometimes there are situations that trigger strong emotional reactions. However, I choose not to dwell on them. I have a beautiful daughter and a reliable brother by my side. I also have the support of the Qin Family. So, instead
of hunting down those who have wronged me and my brother, we would rather live happily in the open than exact revenge and live in hiding."
Wang Reiji paused for a while before looking straight to Chairman Qin's eyes with utmost respect and said:
"I'm thankful for your concern, Uncle Luo. But I think you got it all wrong. "
Chairman Qin furrowed his eyebrows but did not utter a word.
"I did not break into pieces. Actually, those pieces were meant to break so that I can complete my transformation...
Uncle Luo, you also said that our demons will eventually catch up to us. I'll just wait for that day to come then. But don't worry, those demons will regret chasing after me. For I'll personally carve the very meaning of the word fear into their minds."
Everyone inside the hall was staring at Wang Reiji with admiration. How can this woman in front of them look so beautiful and sound dangerous at the same time?
"Your resolve was better than what I expected. I think Isamu did well in toughening you, child. But please when things get unbearable, don't forget that you have us. You always have the Qin family's support to back you up.
Chairman Qin proclaimed seemingly pleased with Wang Reiji's answer.
Wang Reiji smiled as she tried to push her tears back.
"Thank you, Uncle Luo. Likewise, you always have our family's support. Let's continue to watch each other's back." Wang Reiji said while raising her glass of juice.
"Indeed, let's drink to that. Cheers!" Chairman Qin said while raising his glass wine. Brothers Sho, Rong, and everyone else also raised their glasses.
"Cheers!"
"Moving on, the second reason for this gathering is to formally welcome the new members of the Greater Eastern Alliance. CEO Chong and the Meng siblings, Yao and Fong!"
The three old men stood up and bowed their heads.
"As we all know, when GEA was founded, only people working for the underground society were allowed to join. However, when our Qin Builders Inc gained popularity and received the Engineering Excellence Award, my sons and I decided to restructure the organization. We made sure that GEA members were only composed of underground society retirees. In this way, we can help and protect those people who wish to change the course of their lives. "
Chairman Qin said feeling proud of their organization. He then again raised his glass wine and offered a toast.
After Chairman Qin's finished his speech, everyone continued eating as the party went on.
