About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Dirk reflects on her traumatic past in the crime-ridden world of her family, which was destroyed by the Xi Xi Li Bang under the leadership of the one responsible for her family's demise. Although she initially desired to abandon her former identity as a 'lone wolf' in Syracuse, memories of the violence and bloodshed she experienced haunt her, leaving her feeling conflicted about her past actions. Despite her troubled history, Dirk finds comfort in the present companionship she shares with Orson, who is concerned for her well-being. The scene shifts to Texas as she navigates through her recovery, armed and ready to face the challenges ahead. Her past nightmares resurface, but she no longer feels helpless; she is now empowered and supported by friends. When a threat from the Sicilian gang emerges, Exusiai and Orson work to protect Texas, who takes her injuries in stride, showing her growth and resilience. The narrative then introduces a light-hearted moment when Orson interacts with Exusiai, who attempts to cook, resulting in a somewhat disastrous meal. Their camaraderie is evident, but it also highlights Orson's awkward position as he balances the attention from both Exusiai and Texas, who both express interest in spending time with him. This emerging dynamic hints at complicated feelings among the trio. The chapter ends with Officer Chen from the Guard Bureau unexpectedly arriving to summon Orson, creating confusion and leaving the others in anticipation of what’s next. This mix of past trauma, friendships, and potential threats shapes the ongoing narrative, blending serious themes with lighter, humorous moments.
