Chapter 86: The Sensation of Flesh Being Touched 

“Alright, fine.” 

Riku sighed, accepting the market’s reality. He couldn’t force people to pay up. 

Non-essentials were like that—especially overpriced ones. Nobody needed real meat to survive, especially not at 1,000 eddies per kilo. One meal could cost more than two months’ living expenses for most. Synthetic meat provided protein just fine, and even that was a luxury. Mo...

Chapter 366: Adam and Paige 

New Jersey. Princeton. 

Leonard’s little smear campaign? Adam, who’d ducked out with a phone call excuse, had no clue about it. Even if he did, he’d probably just laugh it off. Honestly, he might even prefer it that way. 

Once, drunk, I whipped a famous horse; I feared too much passion would wear out a beauty. 

Leonard could never understand that kind of melancholy. 

Right now, Adam’s focus wa...

Chapter 137: Only Noble People 

The shapeshifter's expression changed. 

Since these monsters were Beelzebub's followers, they could naturally recognize other demons. So, they immediately recognized Roy after he transformed into the Son of the Devil. 

However, recognizing him at this point was too late. The die was cast, and there was no possibility of reconciliation.

Chapter 923: Critical Point and Transformation 

About fifteen minutes later, Seimei landed back on the island. 

As expected, this remote island showed no signs of anything unusual in its surroundings. 

Seimei didn’t show any impatience. Standing on the massive rock at the island’s center, he raised his hands, formed seals, and cast Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu

Poof! Poof! Poof! 

With bursts of chakra smoke, one hundred fifty shadow clones appeared around him.

Chapter 922: A New Round of Training Begins 

The sun set, and the moon rose. 

In the blink of an eye, night had fallen. 

Seimei slept for nearly eleven hours before waking up. 

The first thing he did upon waking was to hunt for something to eat. 

The previous night, he’d barely eaten anything, and after traveling across three countries, he hadn’t even had a sip of water. 

When he returned to the Hidden Leaf Village in the morning, there was no time for breakfast. He focused on n...

Chapter 1515: Scrambling to Join In 

It was relentless! 

In a split second, it felt like Christmas had arrived. Every year, Rockefeller Center turned into this kind of madness around the holidays, as if half of New York’s population swarmed the place. 

Karen had mentally prepared herself. Showing up a little late, she knew it’d be chaotic, but the reality still blew her expectations out of the wate...

Chapter 291: You’re Way Too Badass  

“What?!” 

When Kakashi heard that Kazama planned to take on thousands of enemy ninja all by himself, he was beyond shocked. 

He turned to Kazama, his face full of doubt. “Look, man, don’t talk big like that! I know you’re strong—seriously, you’re insanely badass—but you’ve gotta realize there’s only five of us. How are we supposed to beat an army of thousands? If you don’t p...

Chapter 180: Every Second Counts 

From Bruno Mars to Buster Wayne to Rolling Stone magazine, a quick one-two-three punch instantly gave the One Day King band a little taste of fame, especially the cross-reporting from online to print media, which attracted a lot of attention, as could be seen from Twitter's global trending topics. The hashtag "Bruno's Opening Band" not only didn't disappear like a shooting star, quickly being swallowed by the internet flood, but it also gr...

Chapter 121: Dinner, A Slash — How Did He Just Give Up? 

Inside the prison, Maroni turned around, looking at Vernon, who stood respectfully outside the door. 

"Mr. Maroni, someone wants to see you." 

"Vernon, I thought I told you not to let boring people bother me." 

"Sir, this is someone you specifically asked to see before." 

Hearing Vernon, Maroni suddenly remembered. A few days ago, he had indeed told Vernon to arra...

Chapter 121: The Uchiha Clan's Five-Year Development Plan 

So, here’s the thing. 

This was actually the first time Uchiha Hikari had a real, up-close encounter with Shisui since arriving in Konoha. 

Fugaku had brought it up a few times before, asking her to guide some of the clan’s “younger generation.” Hikari herself had been curious to meet Itachi and Shisui, wanting to get a read on them. But for one reason or another, it just never...

Chapter 71: For Example, That Person Is You! 

Shindai couldn't summon his ninja hawk, and he just sat there on the ground, completely lost, not knowing what to do. 

He had no way to contact anyone in the Hidden Sand Village through a ninja hawk. So, what was he now, a subordinate without a superior? 

A Hidden Sand ninja? 

No, strictly speaking, not right now. After all, when he first came as a spy, the Third Kazekage told Shindai to consider himself...

"I never expected Germany to lose."  

Up in the stands, representatives from various countries wore expressions of shock.  

"Is this the strength of a nine-time world champion?" The South African delegate, a Black man named Nofe, raised an eyebrow dismissively. "Doesn’t seem much stronger than us."

Sasuke, like a god of thunder, unleashed a bolt of lightning from his hand, piercing straight through Danzo’s arm with a sharp whoosh.

Danzo grunted in pain, immediately coating his hand with Wind Release chakra to sever the lightning spear and free himself...

Dunn flew back to Los Angeles again. 

After getting his hands on the Gulfstream V jet, he’d originally planned to take a trip to the Unsinkable film crew. On one hand, he wanted to nudge James Cameron to speed up the shooting schedule; on the other, he was looking forward to enjoying some quality time with both Charlize Theron and Liv Tyler.  

Unfortunately, he was just too busy to make it happen.

Chapter 363: I’m Not the Old Me Anymore 

The next day unfolded like any other—or so it seemed. 

The hospital was steeped in an odd atmosphere, a strange vibe hanging over everyone. 

By 6 p.m., things took a turn. Unlike the usual dawdling, everyone clocked out right on time. They all scattered to shake off the day’s tension—no need to dwell on that. 

Bianca, for once, didn’t wait for Adam to invite her. She just tagged along to his apartme...

Chapter 134: Hush Money  

"What the...? How could it be this fast?" 

Just two more seconds and Roy could've picked the lock. 

Should he just force it open and go in? 

It felt kind of pointless, and it'd probably just attract the cops. It'd be better to come back later tonight when nobody's around and try to pick the lock then. 

Once he figured that out, Roy immediately put away the wire and moved with Sultana.

*Chapter 921: Return*

From a distance, Seimei watched the scene unfold and nodded with satisfaction.

Without pausing, he immediately set out to find his next target.

Just as he’d anticipated, the Hidden Cloud Village’s reliance on heavy manpower for intense surveillance, while a decent substitute for a sensory barrier to prevent outsiders from sneaking in, also gave him a golden opportunity.

In the hours that followed, he tracked down two more Hidden Cloud Anbu members on secret sentry...

*Chapter 920: The Hidden Cloud Village and the First*

Unlike the Hidden Rock Village, nestled in plains, or the Hidden Mist Village, tucked in a valley, the Hidden Cloud Village was concealed among towering peaks that pierced the clouds.

Its buildings were constructed between steep cliffs, connected by suspension bridges, walkways, and iron chains, forming a unique, three-dimensional layout.

The high altitude brought thick, swirling mist, giving the village a natural veil of mystery.

A busy night passed quickly, and as dawn broke, Riku finally got a reply from Sasha. 

The girl seemed to have just woken up, even sending Riku a sleepy-eyed emoji. 

“Yeah, I’m back in Night City. I saw your messages from before. Did you run into some trouble?” Riku replied with a smile.

When Jiraiya spotted Sasuke trailing behind Yoru, his eyes narrowed sharply.  

"Why did you bring Sasuke here? You’re not planning to cause trouble in Konoha, are you?"  

His tone had already turned hostile.  

"Cause trouble? Hah, maybe. So, are you going to leave us standing at the gates, or are we welcome inside?"

June 29, 2004. Tuesday.  

It was a special week. Sunday was July 4th—Independence Day—meaning a long weekend with Monday off, stretching the holiday vibes even further.  

On one hand, it was an extended break. On the other, it marked the official start of summer vacation for schools. Plus, after the movie mayhem of May and June, it was the last big hurrah for the box office before audiences fled for vacations and things cooled o...

Chapter 401: The Draw Begins – Ishikawa’s Target  

Night fell.  

Inside a large convention hall in Melbourne, burly cameramen scrambled to find the perfect shots. Behind the stage curtains, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair rehearsed his script under his breath.  

Before long, a group of teenagers in suits filed into the venue in an orderly manner.  

Under the dim lighting, their faces were hard to make out. Yet, the seas...

As she scanned her surroundings, Genji Chika, already battered and bruised, lifted his head again. A surge of immense power erupted from his slender frame, and he lunged at Hikari!

Cliff’s eyes were brimming with urgency and longing as he studied Wyatt closely. It was just one short question, but the earnestness behind it slipped out anyway. You could almost hear a thousand more “How’d it go?”s looping in his head, barely held back. 

Wyatt found it kind of funny and let out a half-amused, half-exasperated look. “Aren’t you worried I might actually be a scammer? That all ...

Honestly, I wouldn’t have believed it myself not long ago. But if I don’t say anything, they’ll most likely assume I’m the enemy. That’ll make it even harder for me to find the Flame of the Living Being. What should I do?"
