Chapter 221: The Invitation
"[...] China has reached agreements with Slovakia, Indonesia, and other countries. They have shown great sincerity, actively reducing tariffs in an effort to join the global economic stage and become part of the global village."
"[...] We cannot, nor should we, exclude a population of nearly one billion from our grand global village plan. Whether as a labor powerhouse or a massive potential market, ignoring this would be a colossal waste and an inad...

Chapter 576: Why Would Anyone Dislike Luca?
On November 2, Fake Marriage premiered in the U.S., opening in 3,056 theaters, far fewer than the 3,632 theaters showing American Gangster at the same time.
Yet, Fake Marriage performed admirably at the box office. It grossed $12.57 million on its opening Friday, with an impressive per-theater average of $11,163. The following days were equally strong, with $12.52 million on Saturday and $9.02 m...

In the central hall of the shipyard, a banquet was in full swing. Glasses clinked amidst lively chatter and laughter.
The men were dressed in tailored suits, and the women adorned themselves with elegant evening gowns, embodying the demeanor of high society.
These people were the "nobles" of the Land of Waves and surrounding smaller nations.
Much like Gato.

“Woof, woof!”
At the dining table, Layla rested her head in her hands, gazing dreamily at Roger.
“Darling, why does it feel like Carla likes you more than she likes me, her own owner?”
“Maybe I’m just naturally good with animals,” Roger replied, coughing slightly as if to mask his discomfort.
He glanced guiltily at the little dog circling his feet before offering an explanation.

Nagato squinted slightly, staring into Kaneki’s eyes.
Even though he had a high regard for Kaneki's abilities, the notion of a single person instigating a war across the entire ninja world seemed like pure fantasy.
In the face of Nagato's skepticism, Kaneki merely adjusted his glasses with a calm smile and said, "Sometimes, you don't need to get your hands dirty to start a war."

The blonde woman regretfully told him that his videotape was still in the archives. President Robert Shaye was busy with other matters and hadn’t had time to organi...

Seimei heard Katui’s shout, withdrew his long blade, and let Ikezuko’s lifeless body collapse to the ground. Then, he turned to look at his opponent.
Seeing Seimei’s gaze, Katui’s face was filled with fury and hatred. However, reason ultimately won out—he knew he wasn’t Seimei’s match alone.
So, after shouting a single word—"Retreat!"—to the surrounding Hidden Cloud Chunin, he turned and sprinted deeper into the forest.
Upon hearing his command, the o...

By the faint moonlight, the grotesque heads impaled on the spears could barely be made out.
