About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

After a violent confrontation, Maria finds herself in the office of Mr. Cord, the president of the Meshko Group. Despite his cold demeanor and attempts to engage her in conversation, Maria is determined to address the issues plaguing Kasimir, particularly the exploitation of its citizens by powerful families. Mr. Cord argues that the country's current prosperity represents a collective strength, but Maria vehemently disagrees, citing the suffering of vulnerable individuals as a consequence of this false prosperity. Their argument escalates, revealing ideological divides, and Maria, realizing dialogue is futile, prepares for combat. Just as she stands her ground, the Blood Knight—an infamous champion of past tournaments—attacks her, employing a lethal technique that causes her to bleed uncontrollably. Despite her growing injuries, Maria deduces the source of his power, realizing it’s a mechanism within his axe that forcibly extracts blood. When all seems dire, Marna, Maria’s uncle, arrives to assist her, giving her renewed strength and insight against their formidable enemies. The battle intensifies with the Blood Knight and Mr. Cord opposing them. Just as defeat seems inevitable for the Nearl family, Margaret Nearl, Maria's sister, arrives dramatically, revitalizing her sister and providing much-needed support. Together, the Nearl family confronts their adversaries, overpowering the Blood Knight and Mr. Cord. However, despite their victory in battle, Mr. Cord reveals that all incriminating evidence against him and the corrupt knight families is already hidden. In a twist, Maria cleverly uses this moment to stall for time while her allies retrieve this evidence, ensuring that the truth about the exploitation in Kasimir cannot be buried. In the end, Maria skillfully outmaneuvers Mr. Cord, using the resources from her allies to secure the vital information needed to expose the corrupt practices of the Meshko Group and restore justice within Kasimir.
