Wrath
Truth be told, Saito paid way too much money to implant an idea that Robert Fischer had secretly been dreaming of since he was eleven. He hated his father, but most of all, he hated his father's company. It killed his mother. The police attributed it to suicide. She couldn't handle the pressure of running a large corporation, but that was a lie.
She had been brutally murdered, and Robert had witness it all. There were three men who ambushed them one day after school. He watched as they slit her wrist and strangled her with ropes. They took her away from him, and he heard her screams as they took turns raping her. Then he watched as that man made her shoot herself in the head. She was murdered all because his father pissed off the wrong company.
He could've forgiven his father. Maybe. If he had made an effort to console Robert after such a traumatic event, but no, Maurice Fischer just had to be an asshole. Instead that bastard sneered at the boy. "There isn't much to say." The next week, he sent him to some snotty boarding school. There wasn't enough therapy to fix the damages that Maurice caused. Robert did everything he could to piss off his father: got expelled five times from five schools, stole his father's cars, brought home girls, brought home boys, anything to piss off his father. Ruining anything he could, thrashed his home, fucked his lovers hard on every surface he could.
But Maurice just ignored his antics, attributing it to a rebellious stage. That pissed Robert off more. So in college, he came up with a plan. Secretly destroy everything his father had built. He threw himself into school (which his father every cent for). He spent years learning and developing his business skills. He started an internship and worked his way up in Fischer Morrow. Finally, Maurice stared to appreciate Robert's company.
All according to Robert's plan… Then the asshole took ill and started dying. Robert hadn't accounted this possibility. He wanted his father to watch the downfall of the company. Instead he died.
On the plane from Sydney to Los Angeles, he was contemplating how to destroy the company, when he fell asleep and dream which was strange because he never dreamed. Not after the nightmares that plagued him as a teenager. He had Browning hire a professional 'dreamer', whatever the hell that was, to suppress his nightmares. He had an epiphany.
His father loved him, and thought he was trying to be him.
That thought disgusted Robert. He promised himself he would destroy Fischer-Morrow.
And he did, but instead of building something of his own, he stashed a billion for himself and watched the company burn to the ground.
