The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 She Would Undoubtedly Pick This…

Where had things gone wrong? Why had Maren changed so much over the past few weeks? not only her personality but also her newfound abilities had become evident. It seemed out of character for her, almost as if

she had become someone else entirely.

She was beginning to resemble the perfect girl he had envisioned, surpassing even Nadia in impressiveness.

Just as Wilbur was struggling to make sense of it all, Nadia abruptly inquired, “Maren, did you bring your phone?”

The mention of a phone captured everyone’s attention instantly.

“Impossible. Haven’t we all handed in our phones long before?” someone retorted.

Indeed, Rosaline had gathered their phones at the beginning of their training.

“Maren, you secretly kept a phone, didn’t you? How else could you have known all those things? It’s not like the instructors taught us any of that,” Hannah interjected, grasping Nadia’s insinuation immediately.

The realization dawned on everyone else as well. The knowledge Maren possessed wasn’t part of their training and was far beyond everyday understanding. It seemed only deliberate research could account for such specific

information.

This led to the inevitable question–how had Maren come by such knowledge?

Without internet access, there seemed no plausible way she could have learned these things.

“Maren! If you’ve got a phone, do me a favor and call my dad to pick me up!”

“Maren, pass me that phone. I’m getting my dad to send his jet for us,”

“I’ve got a call to make too!”

“And me!”

Suddenly, the air was thick with the students‘ exhilarated voices.

By now, the students were less concerned about their scores. Considering the notoriously low graduation rates

at the Royal Military Academy, their focus had shifted from passing to surviving.

“I don’t have a phone,” Maren said calmly.

“No way! Without a phone, how did you find all that information?”

Disbelief spread among them/

A few students even began advancing towards Maren. If she wouldn’t give up the phone willingly, they were

prepared to take it.

Wilbur and Nadia observed from a distance, skepticism etched on their faces.

They were convinced Maren had merely stashed away a phone and was using it to impress everyone.

“What’s the plan, Maren?” Morris inquired, standing by her side.

Throughout their journey, he had remained close to Maren and had never witnessed her using a phone. He

believed in her abilities, though it was apparent that the others did not share his conviction.

Despite his urge to escape, Morris felt compelled to stay; after all, Maren had been instrumental in his survival

so far.

As Maren remained silent, Morris’s anxiety escalated, uncertain of the next step.

“Maren, give up the phone!” The first guy to rush over reached out, trying to grab her.

He had seemingly forgotten that it was Maren who had found them water earlier.

Suddenly, there was a loud thud.

Regrettably, just as he almost grasped her shirt, Maren’s swift kick landed in his stomach, toppling him over in

agony.

His stomach, already fragile from lack of food, couldn’t withstand the blow. Now, he lay on the ground, barely

able to move.

The condition of his companions was hardly better.

One after another, the students charged at her, only to be brought down by Maren’s decisive kicks.

As one groan after another filled the air, the remaining students halted, no longer willing to challenge Maren.

“You’re just being selfish, Maren! Keeping the phone all to yourself. We’d have overpowered you easily if we weren’t so hungry!”

They rationalized their defeat with their hunger, conveniently overlooking the fact that Maren hadn’t eaten either.

“From this point on, whether you make it or not is a matter of luck.” With those words, Maren turned and quickly walked away, too swiftly for anyone to follow.
