The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315 I Was Hoping

For A Win

After mulling it over, Stormclaw arrived at a conclusion: Maren was the only woman in Voutsas who could pull something like this off.

Regarding the man mentioned by the crew, he remained completely in the dark.

Maren had mentioned Sawyer before–how their rivalry had cooled–but not once had she revealed that Sawyer was anywhere near Voutsas.

“Hurry, pull up the surveillance footage right now,” the middle–aged man ordered Stormclaw.

“Right away, sir.” Stormclaw powered on the monitor and scanning the feeds from nearby industrial zones. He was just as curious.

Sure enough, the screen lit up with Maren, locked in brutal combat against an overwhelming number of

enemies.

Out of nowhere, someone lobbed an explosive in her direction. In a bl Maren launched a rock with her boot,

the airborne stone intercepting the grenade mid–arc and sending it flying, back toward its source.

The attacker and those beside him didn’t stand a chance. The blast erased them from view.

It really was Maren.

And Sawyer! He was there too.

“Maren Morgan? Are you joking? Is she even mortal?” the middle–aged man bated, disoriented and stunned.

He was at a loss trying to figure out how she ended up here.

“Maybe whoever took out Ronan leaked our location. What if she’s here clean up what’s left?” the subordinate speculated.

The man’s eyes flicked to the photograph of Stormclaw sitting on the desk.

“That doesn’t make sense. We shut the site down after Ronan was eliminated, didn’t we? No way anyone could’ve slipped by. Every signal–phones, radios–completely cut. He should still be somewhere in the factories. There are so many of them, and we’ve been searching for ages without finding him. We can’t afford to get

distracted.”

Snapping out of his spiral, the middle–aged man turned back to the video of Maren decimating wave after wave,

Sawyer a storm beside her. One realization gripped his mind: they needed to pull out.

How had Maren formed such an unstoppable squad?

“We got too comfortable. Inform Higgs that he must abort immediately. Send a message to Mr. Williams, too.

Our plans regarding the Marshall family will have to pause.”

He shot to his feet, barking orders, making his way out in haste.

Just a few moments of footage had shown him the truth–there was no way their modest forces could survive a clash with Maren’s faction, let alone help Higgs climb the ladder.

“Do we really have to abandon the mission? Even without us, can’t Higgs‘ army take her down?” the subordinate asked, having just relayed the retreat notice.

Without warning, the middle–aged man slammed his palm against the subordinate’s forehead. “What kind of idiot are you? Do you even understand how much the military reveres Maren?”

Convincing the military to act against her? Out of the question. If she ever joined the military, the military would help her destroy them instead.

“So we’re just fleeing now?” the subordinate protested, his voice tinged with frustration. He’d been promised a share in the victory. Everything had flipped too quickly to process.

“Shut your mouth. If survival matters to you, you’ll follow my lead. Stay, and you’ll be corpses by morning.”

The ruthlessness Maren exhibited shook the middle–aged man to his core.

Years with Shawn and military experience hadn’t prepared him for a woman like her.

“Isn’t it a bit late to be leaving now?” Stormclaw appeared, standing in their way.

“What’s the meaning of this? Are you insane?” the middle–aged man shouted. The idea that this subordinate

had the nerve to confront them was ludicrous.

“Look closer. Ring any bells?” Stormclaw peeled away the synthetic skin covering his face.

He’d been biding his time, unsure if he could manage them solo, fearing a few might slip through the cracks.

He hadn’t anticipated Maren’s arrival.

Now, with both on the scene, they could eliminate the entire group in a single st

“You?”

The middle–aged man and his subordinate froze, expressions frozen in disbelief, jaws slack.
