The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 690

Easton was acutely aware that despite Danny holding the upper hand in the wilderness thanks to his outdoor survival skills, they wouldn't stay in these remote woods forever. Sooner or later, they would return to civilization, where Smart would once again reign supreme, and Danny would revert to being just a simple country bumpkin.

With a desire to ingratiate himself with Smart, Easton began concocting a plan to help Smart eliminate Danny. He knew his employer wanted to be alone with the two beautiful women, and with Danny around, it was nothing but an obstacle, a burden. So, on their way to Moon Landing, Easton pondered various methods of disposing of Danny.

After a strenuous half-day's trek, the group arrived at the edge of Moon Landing, a body of water of exceptional clarity. The gentle breeze caressed the lake, creating a scene of enchanting beauty—a view that anyone could appreciate with just one glance.

Danny approached Belle with a mischievous suggestion: "Belle, look how clear and pure the lake is. Why don't you take a dip? We could have some fun swimming together!"

"Get away from me, you creep!" Belle kicked out in annoyance, landing a forceful blow on Danny's backside and sending him splashing into the lake.

The impact was big, throwing water high into the air, drenching Belle in the process. Soaked and furious, she scolded, "You darned country boy, splashing me like that, I'll pummel you!"

She scooped up a handful of sand from the beach and flung it at Danny. When he resurfaced and came back to her, Danny teased, "Got a little wet, did you?"

Belle could immediately tell there was something off with his question, paired with the look on his face, she knew he was back at his lecherous thoughts.
