But after that, Lord Bertram had no more thoughts of any similar nature, because he saw clearly the countless terrifying causes and effects that came along with a treasure representing "national fortune!"
In Lord Bertram's past life, there was a saying, "The dust of the time upon common folks becomes a mountain". An era shows only the short-term manifestation of a nation's fortune. Just a speck of dust is enough to crush a Heaven's Chosen! So what does the entire treasure of national fortune mean?!
Such a treasure is not something that Owen Bertram can contaminate at this time. If he really wants to forcibly take it for himself... he would definitely not be able to handle it. He may have to bring his own "big legs" and even their "big legs" to step in, possibly at a great cost, to bear it.
