46 It was still vivid in his mind the insanity and horror
The young Sergei Ricci has always admired and followed the then Young Master of the Keir family, Blaise Keir.
It can be said that they shared the same principles and future objectives but unfortunately for Blaise Keir, he lost everything all because of the absurd blood ties.
The country has a preposterous social system wherein upper-class families are ranked and the four great noble families are like the crown of the public's twisted fascination much greater than celebrities.
Hence, Blaise Keir had it worst after it was ascertained that he wasn't Allister Keir's son, he was abandoned by his own mother and was sent abroad, treated like he never existed in the Keir family in the first place.
Needless to say, Sergei Ricci detested Shin Keir believing the latter usurped Blaise Keir's rightful place.
When Shin Keir entered the University, he hid his family background as per the Keirs tradition so Sergei Ricci put out his plans to study abroad and attended the same University a year later.
He figured the quick and efficient way to ruin and oust Shin Keir is to become his close friend while he pull the strings from the shadows; bribing teachers and students, hiring gangs and planning accidents that might kill Shin Keir.
However, that ploy shattered and turned into his nightmare in less than a year.
Shin Keir and Tristan Felan lived in a bungalow, he sometimes visited them along with a couple of his friends and during those times they would spend the night eating and drinking.
One night he wandered off their basement and found a hidden cold storage room, what was in there is beyond what human words could be described.
It was still vivid in his mind the insanity and horror, hanging on jointed hooks like slabs of meats in a slaughterhouse were human heads!
Sergei Ricci is no innocent man but as a young master of a prominent family he didn't lack people who will do the dirty jobs for him, the 20-year-old him at that time had yet killed with his own hands nor seen such monstrosity.
"Ah...I see that you found your people, did you enjoy their meat?"
It was the last brink of his sanity as he vomited vehemently meeting Shin Keir's cold, impassive face.
He refused to hear what Shin Keir was implying as he rushed out of that hell of a place.
Since then he got addicted to alcohol to cleanse his insides and ended up with chronic gastritis yet that horrifying moment has remained imprinted in his mind till present.
He couldn't stand the sight of raw meats much more eating it!
"Young Master, it might be just a coincidence and has nothing to do with us. We know that CEO Keir has other companies that are vastly irrelevant to the conglomerate KV Corporation, his interest with Zhi Corporation is probably out of pity or boredom."
The Secretary explained, pulling Sergei back to his senses.
Sergei Ricci laughed, looking like he's about to go ballistic. "Shut the f*ck up! that lunatic will never invest in a tarnished company just because he's bored much more because of pity! I wouldn't be even surprised if that lunatic will massacre the whole Keir clan one day! pity?! he doesn't have that!"
The Secretary shuddered and his jaw tensed, he's been working with Sergei Ricci for 4 years now but this is the first time he'd seen him so riled up.
"Didn't I ask you to look into his actions lately?! Well? and what about the people keeping an eye on Klaus Zhi? Why is it no one is aware of this- f*ck!" Sergei punched the nearby table unable to control his anger.
"There was nothing out of the ordinary, he still despises women so Miss Ricci's assumption is impossible. Mister Nolan Zhi also assured us that CEO Keir never visited the Zhi Corporation, he believed that the connection between the two was because of CEO Zhi's daughter."
Sergei felt the pain in his stomach relapsing, it was going well the past 3 years, why did it suddenly turn awry?
"You just said he still despise women, so what's it got to do with the daughter? hmm? blind! you are all blind!"
"T-then, are we going to delay the next transaction?"
"Why? tell Nolan Zhi if he still wants to uphold our deal then he should prove his worth!"
"I will Young Master." The Secretary nervously abide. "...and about the woman in the hospital-"
"You think that's important right now? find out what Shin Keir is up to and leave me alone!" Sergei scowled.
The Secretary place the papers on the side table and strode out.
Alone, Sergei Ricci once again punched the table with his fist, the Zhi Corporation is an essential tool for the Ricci Diamonds to flourish.
The trading of diamonds in and out of the country has a lot of restrictions and is complicated, not to mention the fees and high taxes, however, 4 years ago they tried smuggling raw and polished diamonds thru the Zhi Corporation's products and it was successful.
The coffee company has a long clean history and tight links with the government customs, they're the only coffee company that can trade unlimited product quantities without restrictions to any port of entry in the country.
'I must take full control of Zhi Corporation no matter what!' Sergei roared inwardly.

The next day, Yeri went early to school so she will still have time to fix her things and go to her dorm, the driver just opened the back seat door when she saw Nina running to her.
"Yz! tell me! tell me!!!" Nina jovially greeted her, pushing her face close to Yeri.
"Huh? What the hell is your problem?" Yeri covered her mouth and yawned.
"Bitch, stop pretending! it's all over the news you know! Young Master Keir invested in your company!" Nina smack her arm and squealed. "Is this why you ask about him last time? did you fall in love with him? is he super handsome? blah blah blah..."
"He's handsome, that's it." Yeri blankly respond.
Nina grabbed her bag while chattering incessantly. "So the goddess Yeri Zhi is not attracted with the country's most handsome bachelor at all?! fine! but is he scary? did you at least talk to him?"
Yeri rolled her eyes not wanting to say anything.
"Gosh, you're so stingy! so why did he invest in your family's company?" Nina insisted.
"I really don't know, you can ask my Dad." Yeri smiled and opened the door to her dorm.
The next second her smile froze as she held her breath, even Nina who trailed beside her was surprised.
A large portrait of Shin Keir was plastered on the wall across the door and small photo frames of him were placed in her living area.
"I see...you. don't. like. him. at. all." Nina arched an eyebrow, wearing a playful smile.
If only the ground will swallow her whole right that instant! Yeri's face burned like wildfire.
