The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241 Surrounded By

Wolves

The judges finally began to understand what was happening.

Maren had not rushed into the wolves‘ path to show off or play the savior. Her only intention had been to pull

Morris away from danger.

“When you compare Maren’s sense of responsibility to what we’ve seen from certain others, the contrast is

staggering. Some individuals fall below even an animal’s standards,” one of the judges stated clearly, making no

effort to hide the direction of his glare as he looked straight at Gerald.

The accusation was meant for Gerald, but also for Nadia.

“She can act tough all she likes. I’d like to see if she’s still standing once the wolves get serious,” Gerald scoffed, refusing to admit defeat.

As far as he was concerned, Maren had walked straight into a trap.

He was convinced that no one could survive once the wolves closed their circle.

Maren stood at the center of the chaos, alert and watchful. The howls continued to rise around her. Oddly

enough, aside from the wolf she and Morris had encountered earlier, none of the others made a move to attack.

They stayed on the outskirts, watching.

Each second, the howls grew louder. They were closing in, and quickly.

“These wolves aren’t wild.”

That conclusion struck Maren as soon as she noticed the way they moved.

There was a method to their steps. They weren’t lunging or chasing in chaos, They were forming a pattern around her.

Wolves were already known to hunt in groups.

But this level of precision did not come naturally. Someone had trained them to move like this.

“Did the organizers arrange all of this?”

That possibility entered her mind, and she didn’t dismiss it. A high–level survival exam like this wasn’t something she could pass by managing her meals and getting enough rest.

It took her only a moment to understand what was really going on.

Unleashing–wolves in a live trial was reckless. Someone could lose their life.

And yet here they were, and almost every single one had locked onto her.

“There’s someone behind this. Whoever it is, they want me dead,” Maren murmured, her expression darkening

into a slow smirk.

There was no reason for a pack this large to target one person. Someone had drawn them to her on purpose.

But who would go that far?

She started heading back, and that was when she spotted it.

Although the wolves were fanned out all around her, one area pulsed more intensely with sound. That direction

was flooded with howls, louder and closer than the rest. That had to be where most of them had come from.

The rest must have followed afterward.

A cluster that large coming from a single side was not natural.

Maren turned to that path, already suspecting what she would find. Sure enough, she was right.

Dark streaks of blood marked the trail ahead. Tufts of rabbit fur clung to the damp ground.

The markings led in a straight line, and that line pointed back to where she had stood earlier.

“A trap. This was no accident.”

Whoever did this had deliberately used the rabbits to bait the wolves and send them straight to her. The first

name that came to mind was Nadia,

“So you’ve got more layers than I thought, Nadia.”

Maren had no time to linger on the thought. She turned and led the wolves back to the cave where the bear

had once made its lair. That would be her battleground. She came to a stop inside and waited with complete stillness for the pack to catch up.

The judges observing her every move were left speechless.

“Wait a minute. Did she just head back to the cave? Why would she return to that place? It has no exit at all.”

The cave was located at the bottom of the mountain and offered no other way out once entered.

“Is she seriously planning to face the wolves in that closed space?” Gerald let out a low snort. The look on his face showed how amused he was. “She must think she’s some kind of legend.”

What he hadn’t expected was that Maren had made that choice on purpose.

Wolves never gave up on their prey. Once they locked onto a target, they would pursue it until it could no longer run. These wolves had been trained, which meant their drive to kill would be even stronger.

They would keep coming until they had torn her apart.

Maren understood that clearly. Rather than let them wear her down until she collapsed, she had decided to

confront them before that happened.

“There are wolves everywhere! How did they all get here?” One of Nadia’s teammates had finally woken up and was staring in disbelief.

The sky was beginning to lighten. Morning was near.
