The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 702 An Eye for an Eye

"Beauty, now that I've caught this wild hen, let's pick some mushrooms on our way back. Half for roasting, half for a soup. It's chilly in the mountains, and a warm bowl of soup will keep us cozy tonight," Daniel proposed earnestly.

Beauty eyed him suspiciously and asked, "Country boy, you're not plotting something twisted, are you?"

"What kind of plot could I have?"

"You're talking about picking mushrooms, but aren't those poisonous? Tell me, are you planning to poison me and Victoria, so we hallucinate, and then you can do your weirdo stuff?"

"Dear Beauty! Would I do such a thing?"

"Yes, you would!" Beauty shot back.

Daniel was left speechless.

The trio picked some mushrooms and wild greens, carrying the wild hen back to the lakeside.

By now, Smart and Easton had already chopped quite a lot of wood.

Daniel sketched out a blueprint and handed it to Smart.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Genius, follow this blueprint and get that cabin built," he instructed.

"Why does it always have to be me? I chopped all this wood, shouldn't you be the one building the cabin?"

"I've got to help the lovely ladies with the cooking, so you and Easton will have to take care of the cabin." "Country boy, don't push me too far!"

"You're not willing?"

With that, Daniel put his fingers to his lips and gave a soft whistle.

"Ssst!"

Snake King, from its perch in a nearby tree, lazily slithered down. It coiled its tail around a branch and dangled its head down.

Then, it started flicking its fiery red tongue at Smart.

The sight of the tongue sweeping across his face sent chills down Smart's spine!

"Country... country boy, don't mess around!" Smart pleaded, clearly scared.

A python thicker than his thigh and over thirty feet long was flicking its tongue at him - who wouldn't be?

With its gaping mouth as wide as his waist, the serpent could swallow him whole.

"I'm not doing anything!"

Daniel chuckled mischievously, "But

think about it, Genius. If you don't obey, I surely won't do a thing. However, I can't vouch for the snake. It's been days without food, and it's hungry! Even if devouring you won't fully satisfy it, it'll still live longer."

"I'll do it, I'll build the cabin, okay? Country boy, send that giant python away, please!"

Terrified, Smart was in a panic, barely able to hold it in, nearly wetting himself.

Daniel turned to the snake and calmly said, "Leave."

Upon his command, the snake withdrew, slowly writhing its way back onto the trunk, coiling into a ball.

"Country boy, you remember this!

Don't get cocky with me here! I've taken note of everything you've done today! Once we're out of Purple Gold Hill, I'll see how I deal with you. You unleash a python on me; I'll let a dog at you, one that'll chew you up so bad, you'll never be a man again!" Smart bellowed fiercely.

He wasn't joking; he meant every word.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

The humiliation Daniel had inflicted upon him today, he'd repay

Smart was determined to tenfold

country boy pay a painful price!
