Chapter 687 Smart's Plan

Smart wasn't a fool; there was no way he would go down to save Easton. He wanted to make Danny go down instead, and once Danny was down, Smart planned to cut the rescue rope and leave Danny no way to climb back up. Then, the two beautiful women, Belle and Victoria, would be left with him alone. A man alone with two gorgeous women in the deep forest-what a dream that would be!

Smart plotted his scheme and began his act to coerce Danny into his trap.

"Country boy, the waterfall is too high, and I'm scared to go down. But if you can save Easton, I swear I'll follow your orders without complaint until we leave Purple Gold Hill," Smart proposed with unexpected docility that bewildered Danny for a moment.

Danny's instincts quickly kicked in, telling him that Smarty was definitely up to something. Though Danny usually employed his mind-reading abilities with the ladies, curiosity got the best of him, and he turned it on Smart to see exactly what devious plan he was formulating.

After peering into Smart's intentions, Danny couldn't help but chuckle. Smarty really was a dimwit, thinking he could cut the rope while Danny descended and leave him to fall to his death. But Danny was too resilient for such a feeble plan. A fall from this height wouldn't be enough to kill him. What a joke.

Now aware of Smart's plan, Danny asked, grinning, "Smarty, you wouldn't be plotting to wait until I'm halfway down, silently draw a knife, and slice through the rescue rope, would you? Then, with a snap, down I'd go, crashing to the bottom of the waterfall and turning into a pile of mush, right?"

Smart panicked internally as his plan was exposed, but of course, he wouldn't admit it. Yet he quickly forced himself to remain calm.

"What nonsense are you spouting,

country boy? Why would I ever cut the rescue rope and let you fall? In these woods, I can't survive without you! What would I do if you died?" How could I possibly continue to live? If you died, who would control that python? It would surely swallow me whole!"

Though Smart's words suggested concern, he had already resolved to use the dagger to kill the python if necessary after ridding himself of Danny. While collecting the

equipment earlier, not only had he found a dagger, but he had also come across a functional gun with bullets. The self-defense gear was comprehensive.

With these weapons, Smart figured that even if he killed Danny, he could still survive. Moreover, he envisioned himself leading a joyful and carefree life with the two stunning women by his side.
