Turn Into a Vegitable

Bertrand Duval was a businessman hungry for wealth and power. It was because he witnessed his family became one of the richest and strongest in Europe, then dramatically lost everything in a blink of an eye that made him curious, wanting to experience the same comfort as when he was a child. 

His grandfather showered him with gifts. He was groomed and spoiled with all the luxuries in life. When his grandfather's biggest investment failed, Bertrand's father started anew. He experienced living as part of the middle class and wasn't quite pleased about it. 

As he got older, he learned his grandfather had formerly invested in genetic engineering and that was how their wealth skyrocketed. They received generous investments from both the government and the private sector. Furthermore, their test subjects were used to conquer their rivals in the business, making them yield to their empire.
