Chapter 46: Daily Training  

Time flew by quickly.  

Training in Wind Release under Kazama Koshī’s guidance had unexpectedly brought some stability to Hikari’s life.  

Every morning after breakfast, she’d go find Might Guy to "farm gold coins" (i.e., spar for rewards). Then, she’d create two shadow clones:  

• "Academy Hikari" attended classes, built relationships with heirs of major clans, occasional...

Chapter 1421: Quality Assurance

Clearly, Forest Pictures has no interest in becoming the "second DreamWorks."

If this conversation were overheard in Hollywood, it would likely be met with ridicule.

After all, in 2004, DreamWorks truly stood at the pinnacle of Hollywood, setting the standard for independent film studios.

After a decade of growth and accumulation, the company underwent a transformation following the massive box office success of Shrek. D...

Chapter 31: Max-Level Character Slaughters the Newbie Village  

“So, what do you want from us?” 

Seeing that Kazama had taken all their ninja tools, and despite throwing everything they had at him, they still couldn’t beat him, even the usually stubborn Gaara had lost his fire. 

“Easy. Kankuro, you bullied Naruto earlier, so at the very least, you owe him an apology.” 

“Fine, I’ll apologize.” 

Though Kanku...

Chapter 178: The Stock God Makes His Move

“Hey, Sofia, long time no see!”

“Dunn, I was starting to think you’d bail!”

Sofia Coppola hurried over, giving Dunn a quick hug.

They were aboard a shiny new yacht—not massive or ultra-luxe, but still a cool $1.5 million. It was Sofia’s latest splurge, and she’d invited some friends to christen it with a party.

Sofia glanced at Dunn’s date—none other than Sophie Marceau, the French star who’s made waves in Hollywood too. With a teas...

*Chapter 177: Dog Eat Dog*

West Cotton, the global marketing director and head of distribution at 20th Century Fox, had once gotten into a heated argument with Tom Rothman over scheduling issues for The X-Men.

But the boss’s word was final, and West couldn’t budge him. The X-Men’s release got bumped up by two weeks, putting it head-to-head with Mission: Impossible.

Later, Tom regretted it and wanted to tweak the schedule again. West shot him down hard. The prints ...

*Chapter 35: Arsonist of Hearts*

The figure in the trench coat just stood there at the scene, wrestling with something for a good three minutes.

It wasn't about confirming the big guy was dead. Looking at the bathtub completely filled with blood, with the water level even rising an inch or two, they were absolutely sure this dude was stone-cold dead.

Something else was bugging them.

They stared at the little jack-o'-lantern in their hand. The twisted, pained expression carved into it seemed to have s...

*Chapter 34: The First Job on Halloween Night*

"Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock"

An urgent and messy knocking sound rang out.

"Who's there?"

Footsteps clattered as the old lady asked, walking towards the door. However, there was no answer from outside.

So, she reached out and opened the door, asking again,

"Who's..."

"Whoa!"

A thin, small white shadow suddenly floated past the doorway. No limbs, no body, not even facial features. It was a nimble ghost shadow with only two eyes visible on ...

*Chapter 278: One More Night Won’t Matter*

Plaza Hotel.

The wedding was in progress.

"Sigh, I really wish your grandmother were alive to see this moment."

Monica's mother sighed softly as she walked down the aisle.

"Grandma is right over there," Monica couldn't help but remind her.

"I meant my mother," her mom retorted sarcastically. "Not that old hag!"

Monica was speechless and instinctively looked toward her dad.

"That’s just how it is with mothers-in-law and daughters...

*Chapter 277: Dad, You Look Beautiful Too*

*In the Bathroom*

“That was close!”

Nora clutched her chest, her heart pounding.

If anyone had seen that, all her years of effort and perseverance would have been for nothing.

She didn’t even need to think about it—if Chandler found out that she and Adam had been involved, even if it was before Adam met Chandler, it would still be a devastating blow.

And on Chandler’s wedding day? She would have no face left to see her son agai...

Chapter 27: Lending a Hand

*26. Stepping In to Help*

“Master! Their defense forces are being slaughtered! Master!” Obi-Wan Kenobi couldn’t tear his eyes away from the brutal battle unfolding before them. He was restless, itching to act.

Watching those pilots, flying outdated fighters yet charging fearlessly into what were practically suicide missions, wave after wave, struck a deep chord in him.

“Sit down, Obi-Wan. Remember, don’t let your emotions control your actions,” Qu...

Chapter 26: Humiliation

*25. Humiliation*

“Boss, looks like they’re ready to throw down!” On one of the three bounty hunter ships, a crew member nervously eyed the massive mothership looming ahead. “That ship’s so huge, it could squash us with a flick!”

“You spineless worm, open your eyes! A ship that big with no turrets? It’s just a civilian cruiser! Size doesn’t mean squat!” their leader snapped, smacking down the fear.

“But it’s gotta be carrying fighters,...

Chapter 25: Pirates

*Section 24: Pirates*

Meanwhile, in the Endor system…

Three small ships dropped out of hyperspace into the star system: two G-9 freighters and a GX-1 transport. Though labeled as freighters, they’d been heavily modified. Their cargo holds had been converted into laser turret emplacements, arming these ships to a formidable degree.

“Endor system. Let’s do a quick sweep and see if anything’s off,” a pilot drawled lazily over the comms.

“No i...

*Chapter 66: As Pure as a Saint*

"For centuries, our family has adhered to an ancient tradition: consuming the bodies of sinners to purify this tainted world." Kevin tried his best not to look at Roy and Penny as he spoke in a preaching tone.

Roy scoffed, feeling utterly contemptuous of Kevin's words. Could anything be more tainted than this cult leader?

Actually, at this point, Penny's body had already softened a bit because Roy had been constantly comforting her, easing her nervousness. However, Roy didn...
