We're not sure how the business venture works. It could be White Fang <-> Roman <-> Cinder, and that the White Fang has no relation whatsoever with Cinder.

Of course, this is assuming that Roman is a force of his own, and not subordinated under Cinder. Internally it is that way, but on the outside at least, Cinder herself treats Roman verbally as a 'partner'. This suggests that Cinder has no direct relationship with the White Fang right now.

But it all depends on interpretation. It is entirely possible that Cinder has 'negotiated' a deal with the White Fang - likely involve a lot of killing and iron rule by fear - and then task Roman to deal with that end of things. The only thing that could cause the White Fang, a violent group to submit is even more fear.

And even then, this is a rather dubious speculation. What if - what if the White Fang was never a separate organization from Cinder in the first place? What if the White Fang's secret, anonymous leader is Cinder? Then no wonder the White Fang goons have little complains when asked to work with Roman, because their leader was the one who ordered them to do so.

This may also explain why the White Fang, an intially peaceful organization has suddenly turned bloody violent. Their leader, Cinder has wished it so.

Honestly, the above combination is but a small part of the entire speculation - as of now I'm a little too tired to lay out all of them. As I mentioned, it could be a (A as Cinder, B as Roman, C as White Fang) (<-- = subordinated to, <-> equal status, mutually exclusive):

1) A <-> B <-> C relationship

2) [A <-- B] <-> C relationship

3) [A <-- B, (C)] relationship

4) [A <--C], B relationship

and so on. The 2nd relationship seemed to most possible, but this could easily be changed in the futue.
