The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 Probing For Information

Maren wasn’t a trained chef, but leading the Sovereign Underworld meant slipping into different roles like. second skins. Being a chef, for instance, was one she was all too familiar with.

She wouldn’t brag about her cooking, but it wasn’t far from elite.

For her, cooking was simple.

“How did this happen? How could it end like this?” The chef dropped to his knees, his face twisted in fear. Maren’s dish had all of the good things about his dish. His dish, on the other hand, didn’t have an ounce of the

flair her dish had.

The leader let the flavor linger on his tongue, his eyes shining with approval. That was all the chef needed to

see.

Maren had outclassed him, plain and simple.

“Are you prepared to be tonight’s dish?” Maren asked after cleaning her hands.

“No, please! I don’t want to die!” the chef screamed, dashing out of the kitchen. He was desperate to escape.

The leader shouted towards the door. Shortly after, the chef’s shrill, blood–curdling scream echoed through the air.

Two savages returned, carrying the chef’s lifeless body, impaled by a steel fork.

“He’s really dead!”

The once–arrogant chef was now nothing more than a corpse. Tessa and Natalie clung to each other, trembling with a mix of fear and excitement.

“Maren, you’re incredible! You’re absolutely amazing!”

“Yeah, we had no idea you were capable of this. We totally underestimated you.”

Their praises for Maren were effusive That disgusting pervert had finally been dealt with.

The leader seemed indifferent to the chef’s demise. Speaking in their native tongue, he declared Maren the new chef.

This position was exactly what Maren had aimed for.

If she remained merely a prisoner, gathering the critical information she sought would be impossible.

Remaining here was tantamount to a death sentence.

The leader made several crude attempts to touch Maren, but she skillfully dodged him each time

After his failed attempts, he resigned himself for the moment and ordered Maren to prepare the same dish for all of the savages. Then, he left the cellar.

“Maren, you got promoted? Does this mean we’re safe for now?” Natalie approached as soon as the leader had left. She didn’t understand their language, but the nonverbal cues were enough to give her hope.

“Maren, could you possibly check on Luke?” Tessa’s voice was fraught with concern.

Luke, her boyfriend, had sustained severe injuries while trying to protect her. Although it wasn’t life- threatening, he hadn’t been brought down to the cellar. The uncertainty of his fate was unsettling

“I get the chance, I’ll see how he’s doing,” Maren assured her in an attempt to console her.

“Thank you. Thank you so much,” Tessa cried, her eyes filling with tears.

“Alright, you two find somewhere to hide. I’m going to scout the area.”

Back on the submarine, Maren had successfully located Isla. She clung to the hope that she might again find a

familiar face in the cages.

“We’ll stay here for now.” Tessa and Natalie resolved themselves. The cages were fraught with unknown

dangers. By comparison, the now–empty kitchen seemed like a sanctuary. Furthermore, as the newly appointed chef, Maren was bound to spend considerable time here.

“Okay,” Maren said with a nod.

After that, she stepped out of the kitchen to explore the cages.

She conducted a thorough search, scrutinizing each cage. Yet, by the end of her inspection, she couldn’t hide

her disappointment.

“Finding clues is never simple,” she mused to herself.

The cages held forty people, but none appeared linked to the Sovereign Underworld. Perhaps they were

confined elsewhere.

With only forty prisoners, they couldn’t possibly sustain the hundreds of savages for long. Both Luke and Eugene were still outside, suggesting there might be other holding cells in the area.

Maren knew she needed to find a way out, but it had to be for a legitimate reason. She pondered her options

carefully.

The leader had instructed her to stay and prepare the evening meal, preventing her from leaving immediately. Her best option was to wait until the meal was ready and use its delivery as an excuse to venture out.
