Chapter 688 The Next Franklin Chapter 688 The Next Franklin Chapter 688 The Next Franklin Smart envisioned a different future, perhaps not even wanting to leave Purple Gold Hill. He imagined staying here, spending a lifetof ease and joy with the two beautiful women.
"Smarty, you better not try any tricks! If you even think about taking out a knife to cut the rescue rope while I'm descending, and if I don't die from the fall, I will make sure you truly understand what despair means," Danny warned before addressing Belle.
"Belle, keep an eye on him up here. If he dares to mess around, knock him down!" "Don't worry, country boy. I'll watch him. I promise Smarty will be on his best behavior. If he dares to try anything, I'll kick him down the waterfall myself!" Of course, Belle would watch Smart; being the astute woman that she was, she knew that Danny was the man she could trust. When it cto Smart, trust was out of the question.
"Belle, look after Smarty for me, okay?" With his final instruction, Danny embraced the rescue rope and began to slide down, step by step. Smart kept his eyes glued to Danny, waiting until he was almost halfway down to suddenly pull out a knife from his pocket. Swoosh! Belle spotted Smart's treacherous move and sprang into action to stop him. "Smart, what are you trying to do?" "Out of my way, Belle! Stand over there or I won't be so nice to you!" Pet Smart brandished the knife in the air, warning her not to interfere. Belle was courageous, but she was no match for Smart, especially with knife in his hand. She realized the only man she could beat was Danny because he would never fight back, nor would he ever threaten her with a knife.
Knowing she couldn't stop Smart, Belle quickly shouted a warning to Danny below: "Country boy, be careful! Smarty pulled out a knife and he's going to cut the rope!" "Don't worry about me, Belle. Protect yourself! If Smarty dares to cut the rope, he'll get struck by lightning!" Danny replied, confident.
At Danny's words, Smart burst into hysterical laughter. "Hahaha! You're going to die, country boy! You'll fall to your death from such a height And me? Get struck by lightning? You said I'd be struck by thunder for doing this? Fine, let's see where that lightning is now!" After another round of crazed laughter, Smart positioned his knife on the rope, ready to cut.
