Ever since Bill McNick joined the team, my workload’s gotten a lot lighter. Unless it’s something I’m really focused on, I’ve pretty much handed over all the big and small stuff at Dunn Films to him.
Right now, I’m chilling in my office, flipping through a faxed report that just came in from New York.
Scott Swift made his move!
From February 4th to February 9th—six days—he snagged 10.86 million Yahoo shares using an average stock price of $3,674, 20x leverage,...

Scooter realized how pathetic he looked. He’d lost all his dignity—inside and out. Furious and humiliated, he clenched his fists, his calm and collected demeanor completely gone. His body trembled from the effort, his chest heaving like the bellows of a steam train.
He glared at Cliff’s retreating back, itching to hurl some harsh words, but a shred of rationality kept him from sinking even lower. His mind raced, scrambling for a way to salvage some scraps of his pride.

Cliff had lost it. His eyes were bloodshot as he swung his fists, struggling to break free from Maxim’s grip. Like a runaway train, he charged toward Scooter, stepping forward aggressively, putting relentless pressure on him.
Just three days ago, this same Cliff had been at odds with Maxim, urging him to give up. This same Cliff had believed the band had no future and that abandoning it was the best choice. This same Cliff had stood by, smugly watching the other band members’...

Ollie clenched his fists, barely holding back the urge to storm forward and swing at Scooter. Scooter could mock their music or sneer at their talent—that didn’t matter. It was just an opinion, even if they didn’t agree with it. They could accept it as a perspective on art, even when it stung. They’d still respect Scooter’s right to say it.
But Scooter couldn’t insult their persistence and their dreams.
They genuinely loved music from the bottom of their hearts....

Chapter 381: Like a Moth to a Flame
“He’s here!”
“That guy is here!”
As the sensory ninja embedded within the unit snapped their eyes open in horror, their shouts were instantly drowned out by a sudden explosion of thunder.
A monstrous figure, fierce and battle-scarred, charged forward like a bolt of lightning—an old but ferocious warrior, his body crackling with electricity, hurtling toward them like a javelin!

The sun dipped below the horizon.
Hikari trailed behind Might Guy, her teddy bear backpack now slung over his shoulders. She had no idea about Shikamaru’s brooding or worries—not that she cared. For her, blending in with these seemingly mature but emotionally underdeveloped kids was child’s play.
Naruto’s Nine-Tails was already within her grasp. Once he learned to control it, getting a chunk of its flesh wouldn’t be hard. The Academy’s social dynamics were under...

The school bell echoed across the campus, signaling the end of the day.
Under the setting sun, a scattered trail of children rushed out, backpacks bouncing, into the arms of waiting parents.
Might Guy tugged at his sweat-soaked green spandex, ignoring the odd looks from students and parents alike as he stood by the gate, scanning the crowd.
Training, cooking, picking up his "daughter" from school—this whole househusband lifestyle was unfamilia...

Kyoto, Metropolitan Police Department.
Upon hearing the last name Takayama recited in the video, even Sakai—who had remained composed all along—couldn’t hide his shock.
He never expected Takayama to be this insane.
He was actually attempting to use Keiko's power to assassinate Japan's Prime Minister.
If the Prime Minister really died from Keiko’s phone call, it would t...

*Chapter 256: Advice for Chiyo*
After returning to Sand Village with Gaara, the first thing Hattori did was expose the "mole" within the upper ranks of the village. A threat like this was too much for him to leave unchecked even for a day.
Luckily, there were only about a dozen people in the village’s upper echelons, so it didn’t take him long to identify the spy. The spy’s name was Yura. Despite having been recommended by the Fourth Kazekage, both Chiyo and Ebizō ...

Deep breath. Take a deep breath. Ronan forced himself to inhale sharply, pulling himself back to reality. That’s when he saw Ollie take two big steps forward, his arm muscles tensing up as he clenched his fists in anger and excitement. His slightly hoarse voice had lost all its usual cheer.
“What about our last song, then?” Ollie’s rage was barely contained, his words squeezing out from deep in his throat.
“Born This Way”—it was their pride, their soul. Ollie ...

Something felt off—way off. This wasn’t the scene they’d imagined walking into the bar. Scooter’s expression and tone were weird, unsettling even.
Ronan stole a quick glance at Alice from the corner of his eye. Her brows were furrowed, a flicker of confusion crossing her face. But whatever was going on, Alice couldn’t help them now. The opportunity was right there in front of the band—they had to grab it with their own hands.
But Cliff…

Yugito’s chakra fluctuated wildly—sometimes sharp, sometimes violent. Its intensity rose and fell unpredictably.

Between his daily sword training, Yoru also focused on refining his chakra control—its precision, its purity....

Tom Rothman was in a rotten mood. He’d thought that after shoving Bill Mechanic out and taking over as the big boss of 20th Century Fox, he’d be calling the shots and feeling on top of the world. But nope—Dunn had to go and stab him in the back.
Bill Mechanic had barely left Fox when he waltzed over to Dunn Pictures as president, scooping up all the employees Fox had fired and building a shiny new team to serve Dunn’s empire. If that was just typical Hollywood shuffling,...

The Oscars aren’t just some awards show—they’re the big deal. By February, after the Golden Globes dropped their winners, it was officially Oscar season. On February 5th, the Academy announced the nominees at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. Sam Mendes’ flick snagged the top spot with 8 nominations. Meanwhile, Dunn Pictures’ struck out completely, and Dunn’s own only nabbed a few technical nods. Another Oscars, another year with no love for Dunn.

A figure appeared at the end of the hallway, but it wasn’t the expected Scooter. From a distance, they could see Kathy walking toward them. Clearly, she was the singer who’d met with Scooter just before One Day Kings—and it seemed Scooter wasn’t limiting his meetings to just two acts today.
After the rollercoaster of a long night, Kathy looked exhausted. Dark circles shadowed her eyes, her skin was dry, and her makeup had started to smear, giving her a slightly disheveled...
