The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 689

Observing Smart's plight, Belle couldn't help but giggle merrily.

"Yes, his backside even caught fire from the lightning."

"He got what he deserved! If he keeps trying to cut the rope or threatens you, he'll get struck by lightning again!"

Danny then made an effortless return; with Easton in tow like carrying a chicken, he leapt up to the cave without using the rescue rope—he didn't need it.

Belle was amazed at Danny's return. "Country boy, you've got some serious jumping skills!"

"Not only can I jump, but my stamina is strong too! Belle, how about you try it out sometime?" Danny teased.

"Get lost!"

With a scornful word and eye-roll, Belle dismissed the flirtatious tease and turned her attention away.

Seeing that Belle was no longer engaging with him, Danny turned his gaze to Smart, grinning mischievously. "Smarty, were you trying something naughty just now?"

Frightened by Danny's harmless smile and the question, Smart backed away, his voice trembling. "Country boy, what are you going to do?"

"I'm not going to do anything! I just came to see if you’ve been up to no good. Did you get struck by lightning while you were at it? And how’s your backside doing?"

"I can't even walk; my backside’s hurt, and you want me to carry the luggage? Have you no conscience?"

"It's your own doing! Who told you to be naughty? Pick it up now! If you dare miss even one thing, I'll make your backside bloom like a flower!"

Scared of another kick, Smart didn't dare talk back to Danny and instead turned to Easton. "You moron! You imbecile! It's all your fault; you got me into this mess! Pick everything up and don’t drop a single item. If you dare, watch as I make your backside blossom like spring!"

"Yes, boss! Mission accepted!"

How could Easton dare to disobey Smart, who was his employer, after all? His entire future depended on Smart.
