Chapter 673 Rejection

Even if opportunities were scarce, Smart had a knack for creating his own. Key moments called for a flexible approach, and being underhanded could sometimes be necessary. There was no better time than now; it was now or never.

Easton's words had the desired effect, making the two stunning women visibly uneasy. After all, what woman wasn't afraid of snakes-especially the venomous kind?

Victoria looked fearfully at Daniel and asked, "Hey, do you think there are snakes in that cave?"

"Well, there might be if we weren't camping there. But since we are, it's definitely snake-free!"

Smart met Daniel's answer with mocking laughter and a disdainful look. "Really, bumpkin? You say there won't be snakes because you're camping there? What, do snakes fear you might bite them? Or perhaps they'll keel over from the poison in your blood?"

"Retard, you do realize we're on Purple Gold Hill in the wilderness, right? We have to use techniques suitable for our environment. Even snakes have their natural predators here."

"Natural predators? You're trying to tell me you've got snake predators in the cave? What are they? I bet you're going to say it's you, huh?" Smart scoffed, seemingly sure of his own logic.

Daniel pointed to a small plant at the cave's entrance and asked Smart, "Retard, do you know what that plant is?"

"It's just some wild weed, isn't it? What does it matter?"

"Actually, it matters a lot. That 'little weed' keeps snakes at bay. Withgust one of those plants near the cave, no snake will come close. As for your tent on the riverbed, I can't promise the same."

Retard, you've got to have some faith in science. I've scattered a ring of repellent powder around my tent. It deters snakes and other critters," Smart boasted, confident in his preparations.

"Sounds pricey," Daniel replied with feigned concern. "Too bad! When the river floods later, the repellent-and your fancy tent-will be washed away! Such a waste of what@ould've been a valuable resource!"

"Cut the envy, bumpkin! There won't be any flood, absolutely not!" Smart was convinced Daniel's warnings sprang from jealousy.

At that moment, one of Smart's lackeys called out, "Sir, the hotpot's ready. Dinner is served!"

"Excellent!" Smart took his seat and

speared a slice of foie gras, gloating to Daniel with every bite. "I'm dining on foie gras in the wild, and man, does it feel good! What could be more satisfying than enjoying such luxurious food by this beautiful riverbank, deep in the woods? It's pure bliss, like living like a god!"
