About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, there’s a focus on the challenges faced by the characters in Longmen as they navigate their roles within the city’s complicated socio-political landscape. The legendary "last line of defense of Longmen" looms in the background, raising tensions for a young man determined to enact change within the slums. At the Guard Bureau, police officer Hoshiguma faces the repercussions of her actions while on a mission to apprehend organ traffickers, inadvertently involving her colleague Orson and resulting in trouble. Hoshiguma's casual demeanor, including her whimsical report writing, frustrates her superior, Ch'en Hui-jie, who is increasingly concerned over Orson's reckless behavior that could escalate into conflict upon Talula's arrival in the city. The narrative shifts to a tense meeting involving key figures from the Unified Integration Movement, including Talula, Alina, Frost Nova, and Rhodes Island’s leader Amiya. Talula expresses regret over sending Orson to Longmen alone, fearing he has stirred up trouble within various factions. As discussions unfold, the importance of Orson becomes evident, indicating he plays a crucial role in the dynamics among these characters and their overarching mission. Tensions peak as Talula resolves that they must retrieve Orson to prevent him from becoming a target within Longmen's complex power struggles. As the meeting concludes with no immediate plan of action, the scene transitions back to Orson, who, obliviously cheerful, delivers firefighting equipment with Texas to the local fire station. Interactions reveal Orson's naïveté and the impact he has on those around him as he remains unaware of the brewing troubles concerning his involvement in Longmen.
