Be More Proactive

When the Wu Family saw how outstanding Bart was, they were furious beyond measure.

At the Wu Family's family meeting, someone stated bluntly, "That bastard Bart kept hiding his abilities because he was targeting our family's geniuses!"

"We directly lost 220 billion, and we also lost a direct-line genius!"

"No matter the cost, that bastard must die!"

"The Ace Mercenaries have already abandoned the job they originally accepted because they think it's too risky!"

"Ace Mercenaries are just a bunch of money-grubbing bastards. Add money!"

"Why don't we send our own people?"

"You should look at it this way: even if we spend 100 billion, it'll be worth it as long as Bart dies."

"Bart's value is now impossible to estimate. Just the temperature of his Fire Superpower will likely continue rising as his strength increases."

"It's easy to do the math. Even if Bart only lives another three hundred years—and that's already the lowest estimate—how much heat-resistant material will he produce in those three hundred years? How large an industry, how many interest groups, will form around that material?"

"Didn't they say his material is limited?"

"Do you think the royal family or the Great Nobles would mind having a few more Special Mechas?"

"Or some special Energy Weapons?"

"Besides, no matter how high a price these Ace Mercenaries demand, they only get paid after they complete the mission!"

"I think hiring Ace Mercenaries is the best deal!"

"Why don't we issue bounties through several organizations at once? Whichever organization completes it first gets the money?"

"The Zhang Family definitely needs to contribute some money to this too."

At that moment, the Wu Family's Clan Leader spoke. "I have a good idea. Use our chess piece in the royal family and have the Emperor's Soul Killer make a move."
