Chapter 95 The Angels Of Death Could Be Under Yo…
Sawyer had taken over the Warren family at a notably young age, holding his position through strict control and firm leadership.
Approaching Maren, he suggested, “These people could be useful to you.”
“Why would I need them?” Maren responded.
With a knowing smile, Sawyer asked, “Aren’t you planning to make a move on the Sovereign Underworld soon?”
“How is that relevant here?”
It was clear, especially after she took over the Onyx, that she was out for revenge.
Sawyer chose not to respond. Instead, he simply smiled again and joined her at the window, observing the departing members of the Angels of Death.
“They were merely following orders; the ones targeting you aren’t them. Rather, you could use them one day,”
he explained.
Maren caught on this time. “You want me to take them in?”
“Precisely. Just as you did with the Onyx,” Sawyer replied.
Gaining power fast usually meant taking it from someone else–a move Maren pulled off well with the Onyx,
saving herself a lot of time.
For Maren, who was eager to confront the Sovereign Underworld, this was the best option.
In Baimsa’s underworld, the Angels of Death held the top spot, even more powerful than the Onyx. If Maren could take them over and add their strength to what she’d already gained from the Onyx, the last two gangs wouldn’t stand a chance. They’d have no option but to follow her lead.
Gaining command over all four would grant her dominion over half of Baimsa, significantly bolstering her
military prowess.
But that wasn’t all. Sawyer continued, “The noise you’ve been making hasn’t gone unnoticed. The Sovereign Underworld is likely keeping tabs. They might not know who you are right now, but they definitely know your face. And if they figure out who you really are, you can bet they’ll come at you hard.”
His warning resonated deeply. A future confrontation with the Sovereign Underworld would bring more than just a couple of top assassins.
On top of that, if Frank found out she was still alive, things would get a whole lot more serious.
Understanding the magnitude of the Sovereign Underworld’s influence, Maren recognized she couldn’t face them

alone; rapid expansion was essential.
“Sawyer, your ability to plan ahead is impressive,” said Maren with rare admiration. “But the situation with the Angels of Death isn’t the same as the Onyx, I guess?”
Following her takeover of Onyx, Maren had contemplated expanding her control; however, that victory had been largely fortuitous. Back then, people like Westley had resisted her leadership, but Simon’s allegiance had
been the game–changer.
Simon had impressed Maren with his strategic foresight, bravery, and impeccable timing, traits not commonly
found.
Tucker, the leader of the Angels of Death, fell short of these qualities.
Reading her thoughts, Sawyer spoke up. “Tucker’s definitely not as smart as Simon, but you could always
replace him with someone who is.”
“Are you suggesting we install someone like Simon as the leader?”
Sawyer’s point was simple–take Tucker out of the picture and put someone sharp, like Simon, in charge.
This approach hadn’t occurred to Maren; she typically favored direct methods over strategic manipulations.
“Gang leaders often pass control to their sons. Even if Tucker is gone, would any of his sons really follow me?”
Maren’s experiences with Tucker’s sons, Tyler and Brooks, had left her skeptical.
“You might find an ally in one of them,” Sawyer said, catching her off guard.
He quickly tapped on his phone, and moments later, Maren received an email.
“Ricky? The youngest son of Tucker?” Maren murmured, scanning the profile that appeared.
“With Tucker and Brooks gone, he’d be the sole heir. Back him, and the Angels of Death could be under your command,” Sawyer explained.
Only then did Maren grasp that Sawyer had already planned out her next steps in advance.
Merely days earlier, she had dispatched Stormclaw to scout the other gangs, who had yet to report back. Meanwhile, Sawyer had already gathered the necessary intelligence.
The concise report and Sawyer’s few, yet impactful, words provided significant insights.
That made Maren start to see Sawyer in a new light.
“Sometimes, I truly don’t understand your thought process,” she admitted.
Sawyer wasn’t part of her usual crowd, yet he planned her next moves with more thought and care than she had herself. It was clear he genuinely cared about her.
“Maybe don’t push yourself too much if it’s confusing. Who knows? It might just make sense when you’re not looking for it,” Sawyer said with a playful grin.
