About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, titled "Capitalists can't squeeze you like that, Young Lady Platinum!", the atmosphere of the knightly match is dull due to the Infected Knight, Orson, losing to a previous opponent, leading to dwindling audience expectations. Many spectators have lost interest, except for a few loyal supporters from the Unified Integration Movement who place significant bets on him. Orson’s opponent, a trainee knight named Kessai, is eager to prove himself against Orson but underestimates his capabilities. During the match, Orson quickly dispatches Kessai with a decisive move, showcasing his skills and surprising even the host and the remaining audience. After the match, Orson meets Young Lady Platinum, who provides him with critical information about the 'Midday Knight,' Rui Si Sang Si Te, who has been acting suspiciously regarding Maria Nearl. Despite a light-hearted exchange where Platinum jokingly suggests Orson wear a maid outfit as repayment, the chapter hints at deeper tensions, especially when Orson learns that Rui has shown romantic interest in Maria. The narrative then shifts to Maria, who is approached by Rui, who appears charming but soon reveals a sinister side. After initially engaging in polite conversation, Rui's demeanor shifts drastically, culminating in a traumatic encounter where he captures Maria, intends to turn her into a specimen, and reveals the dark connection between his family and the Supervisory Council. The chapter closes with Maria calling out for Orson in fear, setting a dramatic cliffhanger.
