*Chapter 129: Winning Over *
January 23, 2000—the 57th Golden Globe Awards dinner was happening.
As a young guy in the game, Dunn knew he had to show up to stuff like the Golden Globes or Oscars unless something crazy came up. It’s all about face time—building cred. Plus, you can’t come off as some cocky jerk to the judges. Gotta play it humble and relatable, you know?
On January 20, Dunn flew back to California, but the first thing he heard wasn’t the usual Golden Globes buzz. Nope...

Nina Jacobson totally got why this was happening—she couldn’t help but let out a wry smile. She really didn’t know what to do with her young boss. Dunn was great in so many ways, but man, his temper was something else—too stubborn, too fiery!
We’re talking Disney here. Swallowing your pride and backing off wouldn’t kill you, right? Did it really have to get this messy?
“Disney wants me to step up and clear things up for Bruce Willis, or they’ll ‘teach me ...

Dunn woke up feeling refreshed, whistling as he buttoned up his pajamas and bounced down the stairs. The moment he looked up, he caught Nicole Kidman rolling her eyes at him from the living room couch.
“Did I tick you off again?” Dunn asked, scratching his head, genuinely confused.
Nicole huffed, “You two were so loud, I could hear everything from down here!”
“Heh, you know how strong I am in battle,” Dunn grinned smugly, then his tone turned teasing. “B...

Before the subprime crisis hit, the U.S. stock market was a wild playground—short-selling leverage was sky-high, and the costs were next to nothing. That’s why you’d see so many shorting cases back then. One little piece of bad news could tank a stock in no time!
Then came the subprime crisis, and oh boy, it shook things up. The feds stepped in with some tough laws—illegal shorting now came with heavy penalties. So after 2008, unless you were some big-shot institution, s...

Adam casually commented on something, not expecting that his words would provoke Monica to the point of fury. She immediately chased after him, determined to make him pay.
Even though Adam explained that what he said didn’t necessarily reflect Peter’s thoughts, it didn’t calm Monica down in the sli...

The moment Max heard Adam mention the coming-of-age party, she couldn't even maintain her classic post-reaction expression like Amy’s. She shook her head repeatedly. “I’m not going!”
“Don’t worry, it’s just a party.”
Adam reassured her. “You can’t seriously let me go alone, right?”
“Just a party?”
Max exclaimed, “This is a party hosted...

Rachel clung to Adam, begging persistently.
For a moment, Adam felt like he was looking at Sheldon and thought, What a shame.
If Rachel were a guy, he could use some outrageous tactics—like making them parade around in drag—to scare them off.
But unfortunately, she was a girl. Adam had plenty of ideas, but he could only keep them to himself.

The guys quickly tore off nearby furniture to use as weapons. Even though the furniture was also made of wax, it was better than nothing and could at least do some damage.
"Roy, this isn't working! I feel like there are more and more wax figures!"
Niddy was right. Roy had clearly taken down twenty or thirty wax figures, but the ones walking towards them hadn't decreased much at all.

On one side, Seimei had just whisked Imamura Tsukiko away.
On the other, the Stone ninja quickly caught on to something fishy.
It wasn’t that they saw her get nabbed by the real Seimei—they just noticed he’d zeroed in on her with pinpoint accuracy and got worried about her safety.
Every Stone ninja present, whether they knew Tsukiko’s full deal or not, understood one thing: they’d only tracked this far thanks to her unique sensory skills.
If Seimei kil...

“Watch out!”
“Careful!”
“…”
The moment Seimei made his move, several warning shouts rang out.
In front of him, the Stone ninja split into three groups. One darted toward the female ninja at the back, trying to shove her out of the fire dragon’s attack range.
Two others raised their hands, forming seals to cast Earth Release: Mud Wall. Twin earthen barriers sprang up in a “<” shape, shielding the female ninja behind them.

Curiosity killed the cat, and the same goes for people.
At the core, humans are curious creatures who often can't control their curiosity or their eagerness to follow the crowd.
You can see this phenomenon in everyday life.

Yoru’s skills had nearly all reached their limits—except for Silent Technique Arrays, which hadn’t been enhanced yet. However, to unleash the full potential of these ninjutsu, he’d first need to achieve the "Kage-Level Invincibility" milestone.
