About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Platinum anxiously warns Orson about the presence of two elite members of the Lapis Lazuli. Knowing how dangerous they are, she implores him not to engage with them. Orson, however, remains determined to fight, revealing a side of himself that he typically keeps hidden. The No-Crown Alliance, a secretive organization made up of various factions, is explained in detail, highlighting the distinction between the roles of its members. Platinum typically handles sensitive assassinations, while the Lapis Lazuli focus on punishing traitors. The chapter also recounts the story of the "Black Knight," a highly skilled knight who defied the Commercial Union and narrowly escaped an assassination attempt. As Orson faces the two Lapis Lazuli, he demonstrates his exceptional combat skills, using his "Suspension" ability to dodge crossbow bolts and deflect daggers. Despite being injured, he reassures Platinum of his intentions and encourages her to trust both him and herself. Platinum, shaken by his words, begins to waver in her belief that she is merely a "silent weapon" and acknowledges her desire for a true purpose in life. With newfound determination, Orson prepares to fight the Lapis Lazuli, understanding the grave danger he is in. The elites prepare to use their powerful Originium arts to overpower him, but Orson has a plan to turn the tables. In a surprising twist, he manages to strike down one of the Lapis Lazuli before they can fully execute their abilities. The fight intensifies, with Orson overpowering the remaining Lapis Lazuli, who realizes too late the error of underestimating him. In his desperation, one of the elites resorts to self-harm to escape, but as he falters, a deadly gas is released from the building's exhaust system, hinting at a dire turn of events.
