Chapter 689 Settling Accounts



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?"

As he spoke, Danny's foot shot out,

landing a kick right on Smart's already scorched behind. The pain

was so intense that Smart's screams of agony echoed through the air as he rolled on the ground clutching his burnt backend:

"Country boy, why did you kick me?" Smart whined through gritted teeth.

"Why? You really have to ask? You wanted to do something terrible; you thought about cutting the rescue rope to send me plummeted down to become a pile of mush on the rocks!"

With that, Danny delivered another kick to Smart's rear, prompting another round of howls.

"Shut up! If you keep yelping, I'll kick your butt so hard it'll split open!"

Danny's roar scared Smart silent. With Smart quiet now, Danny pointed to the pile of luggage and commanded, "Grab that, we're heading to the lake!"

"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.
