Chapter 341 An Arrogant

Woman

“Why shouldn’t we just eliminate all of them?” Lucien’s tone was harsh, filled with resentment towards the Williams family.

“Wouldn’t it be more striking to capture them alive and parade them as evidence of our victory?” Maren

suggested, giving his shoulder a comforting pat.

She had been encouraging Lucien to vie for the position of the family head, all to merge the Marshall family into

her own sphere of influence.

At this point, Lucien was essentially aligned with her.

However, Lucien’s influence within his own family wasn’t strong enough yet, which was why she had brought him on this mission. She wanted the Marshalls to see that he had overcome the enemy they dreaded, and he was even returning with proof of their conquest.

“Thanks, Maren!” Lucien quickly understood her strategy, expressing his excitement and appreciation.

“There’s no need for thanks. Start moving.” Maren responded, slightly overwhelmed by his gratitude.

“Let’s go, everyone! It’s time to capture the Williams family!” Lucien shouted, rallying the Marshalls to advance.

Maren’s troops held their positions to cover them, preventing any unexpected counterattacks from the Williams family.

Although Maren had no personal interest in the captives, she recognized their value in boosting Lucien’s standing within his family, so she supported his decision to bring them along.

Following the conflict, they started to clear the area.

“Collect all their weapons and gear, show your family the fruits of your efforts. And don’t forget to retrieve our equipment as well,” Maren instructed, overseeing the loading of the spoils onto the vehicles.

“What? Everything is ours?” Lucien was taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated such generosity from Maren. Their role in the battle had been minimal, and even a partial reward would have felt substantial.

Nevertheless, Maren was giving the entirety of the spoils to them, including the formidable heavy machine guns

and mortars.

“As I’ve mentioned, return and demonstrate your power and leadership. Your family will rally behind you once they see your strength.”

This was Maren’s sole expectation of him.

Furthermore, anticipating future collaborations against the Williams family, Maren understood that the

Marshalls needed sufficient resources to be effective allies.

“Maren, there’s no need for further words. I will heed your guidance unquestioningly from this point forward,” Lucien replied, genuinely touched.

“Enough with the compliments. Before you got here, Yvette was seen heading to Voutsas. Check into it if you get a chance,” Maren instructed, then departed with her team.

“Will do,” Lucien answered, then directed his forces back towards Voutsas.

That evening, an arrogant woman visited the Marshall family. She earned the label of arrogant by occupying the chair reserved for the family patriarch.

Below her, the rest of the Marshall family stood, without a single one offered a chair, not even Calvert.

“Mr. Marshall, my boss has sent me to determine whether you’ll surrender your holdings peacefully or if we must take everything by force,” Yvette inquired with a smile that barely hid her menace.

“You’re far too arrogant!” burst out one of the Marshalls, unable to contain his anger.

“Arrogant? I’m just being confident. If my presence offends you, make your move. I’m just a single, defenseless woman here. What could you possibly do to me? But the real question is–do you have the guts?” Yvette responded, her laughter dripping with scorn.

The younger Marshalls felt provoked and made to advance, but their elders quickly pulled them back.

The slight was too severe to ignore.

The once–dominant Marshall family was now being ridiculed by this woman.

Their hands were tied; retaliating meant challenging the power of the entire Williams family.

A move against her could spark a war with the Williams family, a battle the Marshall family was not equipped

to win.

Nearby, Calvert struggled to maintain his cool.

His plan was to strike back at the Williams family once his family was secure and out of the area.

Until then, he had to bide his time. Any sign of rebellion now would alert the Williams family, who would surely block any escape, trapping them all.

For the moment, he could only grit his teeth and bear it.

Calvert refrained from any retaliation–his stern gaze serving as a clear signal to his family not to act

impulsively.

This situation left the entire Marshall family steeped in humiliation.

Anger contorted their expressions, and several times, some of them nearly lunged forward, only to be restrained by the others.

“Ha–ha!” Yvette’s laughter rang out, loud and victorious, as she reveled in their apparent powerlessness.

She had arrived specifically to revel in the Marshalls‘ visible outrage and their constrained inability to fight back.
