The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344 International Support

Naturally, Lucien was speaking of Maren when he referred to his ally.

On the way back, he made a point of calling Simon and others to inquire about Maren’s past.

Though they couldn’t offer much, one thing was crystal clear–even the Sovereign Underworld regarded her with caution.

The revelation lit a fire in Lucien’s chest, fortifying his faith in her.

At the same time, a spark of frustration flared–why had she kept this hidden and let him stew in anxiety for so long?

No matter how vast the reach of the Williams family, they were dwarfed by the Sovereign Underworld. If Maren could go toe–to–toe with the Sovereign Underworld, then what threat could the Williams family possibly pose?

The moment Lucien spoke, the room rippled with energy.

“Lucien! Are you serious? You’re saying someone even more powerful has our back?” Excitement burst through the Marshall family like a sudden flame.

“Lies! Don’t think I’ll fall for that!” Yvette snapped back without hesitation. “There’s no power around here stronger than the Williams family!”

Criala and Fleotho were Slatinia’s neighboring states. The Williams family ruled all of Fleotho and half of Criala. The idea of anyone eclipsing them sounded absurd.

“Can you really stand by that claim, Lucien? Who would dare challenge the Williams family?”

The Marshalls weren’t fools. Had a stronger power truly existed, they would’ve sought it long ago. The Williams family simply had no equal–or so everyone believed.

Lucien straightened his spine and declared proudly, “Those nearby states? Don’t make me laugh. The force I’ve brought in isn’t local–it’s international.”

His announcement landed like a thunderclap.

Even the weakest among global players could easily wipe out a regional power like the Williams family.

Compared to such forces, the Williams family was nothing more than a small–time operator punching above their weight.

“Lucien, you’re serious, aren’t you?” Calvert watched him closely. There wasn’t a hint of bluffing in Lucien’s demeanor, and Calvert found himself beginning to believe him.

The rest of the Marshalls weren’t far behind.

“Grandpa, would I joke about something this serious?”

Lucien’s mind had been working nonstop on the journey back.

It was Maren who had given him the courage to resist, and he decided right then to unveil the side of her no one had seen before–the side that struck fear into the Sovereign Underworld.

If anyone could inspire belief, it was her. She was their living myth.

“So it’s true.” This time, Calvert fully accepted it.

The stakes were too high for games. Lucien would have to be out of his mind to lie now.

“Marvelous! What are you waiting for? Seize that woman!”

The Marshalls erupted, galvanized into action.

Yvette’s face drained of color. “You can’t seriously believe this nonsense! International force? That’s pure fantasy!”

Even if the Marshalls believed Lucien, she couldn’t wrap her head around it. An international alliance? Why would any foreign force bother with a family like theirs?

“Still skeptical? Then watch what real international firepower can do.”

Lucien was ready for this moment. He retrieved a video camera from his bag.

On the way back, he’d picked up a projector and now cast the battle footage against the wall.

What unfolded was a nonstop assault–an unyielding storm of gunfire. Inside the military base, the Williams family was caught off guard, outgunned, and ultimately forced to throw up their hands in surrender.

Lucien’s side remained untouched–no casualties, not even a scratch.

“So that was your forces stationed in Shueso Town? My reinforcements erased them,” Lucien announced, his voice rich with satisfaction.
