Chapter 542: Bernards Assessment (1/2)
In the Star Group, Bernard and Maya were sitting next to each other.
They were returning to the country in a disappointed mood.
Maya had been pouting all day as she muttered, ”What was the problem with that guy? We had offered him so much, yet, he refused our offers. It was clear that our offers were better than theirs. I thought he had no good relationship with his family? He even made us wait for too long… I need to start auditing the company money after this. Ugh, I want to punch that guy on the face.”
Bernard closed his eyes while smiling as if the disappointment didn't bother him that much.
”Father, why are you smiling?” Maya glared at her.
”So, I can't smile?” Bernard gradually opened his eyes and glanced at her.
”No… Not that. He just rejected our offers, you know, and it took him so long to do this.”
”Calm down, will you?”
”How can I calm down after all these things?”
”It's because he rejected us that you need to calm down.”
”Huh?” Maya frowned as she took another look at her father's face. He didn't seem to be joking.
”I am just warning you that he's more dangerous than I thought…” Bernard smiled.
”What do you mean?”
”What is the biggest reason for him to go to the War God Family instead of us?”
”Because they're family?”
”Nah. It's because of Leonardo.” He shook his head.
”Him? Because he's his grandfather?”
”I have told you he doesn't like his family. What he wants is the War Saint…” Bernard facepalmed. ”Although we can provide him with experts to teach him, he's not going to take that because even we can't bring an expert at Leonardo's level. They're something that money can't buy…”
”But still—” When she was about to interrupt him, Bernard raised his hand, asking her to listen to him.
”His strength aside, the one that makes Leonardo that dangerous is his brain. Not many people can play this type of strategy game with him, so what Theo wants is not the benefits he can get right now.
”If you take a look at his deals and plans until now, he has been making short term deals. He just wants to solve a specific part. For example, the contract with the other five countries… He just wants to protect himself from them.
”However, it will be different if he chooses Leonardo. He must have gotten the gist of what was happening behind the scene, and all of them pointed at one man, the War Saint.
”He has been fighting by himself until now, so he can acquire the money or benefits by himself. Hence, what he truly needs is none other than the brain that can predict his future. In other words, he wants Leonardo's teaching about strategy.
