The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 659

Smart was determined to stop at nothing to capture the Spirit Cat, and equally determined to possess Beauty and Victoria. He fantasized about overcoming the two beauties atop Purple Gold Hill. If he could have them both, he thought, the thrill would be unparalleled, a tale to boast about for a lifetime, even to his future grandchildren.

"Smart, rest assured, I won’t be begging you for anything! Not even in death!" Beauty replied with fierce determination; no matter the circumstances, she would never turn to Smart for help.

"Beauty, you're as stubborn as ever. But I believe you won't last long. When your life is at risk, the will to survive trumps everything. Let's just wait and see how long your resolve lasts. Eventually, you will come crawling to me, begging on hands and knees. And no matter what I ask for, you'll have to agree because you'll have no other choice. Your only option will be to follow my orders! Ha-ha-ha-ha..." Smart laughed triumphantly before turning to Victoria with a scheming grin.

"And you, big-time celebrity, will you follow Beauty and this bumpkin into Purple Gold Hill to find your doom? Or will you change course and follow my team? With me lies the path to enlightenment, to paradise. With them, you are stepping closer to hell with each move."

"I'll go with Beauty, of course! I trust Beauty and I trust this handsome man here. I believe that sticking with them is the safest option. They may not have weapons or gear, but they are good people. The most dangerous threats in this world are not the circumstances but the wickedness of the human heart," declared Victoria, whose status as an international star exposed her to all walks of life, providing her with keen insight into human nature.
