Chapter 63: The Return of the Crowd

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

A rolling heatwave was spreading outwards from the Old Blacksmith Pub, the faintly vibrating air buffeting ears. A scorching, slightly stinging sensation could be felt slowly spreading across the skin. The humid air of the late summer night carried the faint scent of alcohol, mixed with cigarettes and coffee, drifting like smoke and mist, bringing a tipsy laziness and comfort that made people want to sway gently in the breeze, lost in the moment.

Chapter 1336: The Depth of the Soul

“…So, can we understand it this way? In the movie, Clementine’s hairstyle serves as a marker for the timeline, and the change in hair color is a crucial key to organizing the chronological order of the film. At the same time, it also acts as a barometer of the characters’ emotional states—not just Clementine’s impulsive whims.”

Click-clack. Words spilled out like a flood.

Blair poured out the thoughts racing through his...

Chapter 121: The Aussie Crew (Part 2)

I mentioned Heath Ledger’s issue to Mel Gibson in passing. As one of Australia’s most promising actors today, Heath’s got a special place in Mel’s heart. “Dunn, I appreciate you looking out,” Mel said. “I’ll keep an eye on Heath’s situation.”

I grinned, pausing for a beat. “Hey, how about introducing me to some Aussie actresses?”

“Miss Portman…” Mel hesitated, glancing toward Nicole Kidman. He clearly didn’t want any Aussie talent stirring up...

Chapter 120: The Aussie Gang (Part 2)

Even Mel Gibson was caught off guard. In just two or three years in Hollywood, Dunn had crossed paths with so many Aussie actors.

Whatever his motives, there’s no denying he’s carved out space for them in Tinseltown.

Mel studied Dunn closely, growing more convinced that this brash, improbably young director was someone he could count on.

Mel’s a director himself—Oscar-winning, no less—but he’s still just a director.

Dunn, though?

He’s got a s...

Chapter 119: The Aussie Crew (Part 1)

The mansion wasn’t the over-the-top extravaganza Dunn had pictured. Instead, its decor leaned into a medieval, almost artsy vibe—rustic and refined.

When Dunn strolled in hand-in-hand with Natalie, all eyes snapped to them. The party had maybe two dozen people, and a bunch of faces rang a bell for Dunn.

Mel Gibson, the host and unofficial “big brother” of the Aussie crew, stepped up with a warm grin. “This guy needs no intro, right? Director of Titanic an...

*Chapter 281: Art*

As he spoke, Inoue poured the well-mixed plaster into the mold, carefully setting it in place. Only then did he wipe the sweat from his forehead and glance at the various plaster statues surrounding the art department.

"Now that I think about it, Sensei, your artistic style is quite peculiar. None of your sculptures have heads."

The art department was filled with an assortment of plaster figures.

However, all of them shared one striking feat...

Chapter 220: Can't Be Without Women

The next day.

A restaurant near Brooklyn.

"This should be the place, right?"

Adam and his friends arrived together to cheer on Monica at her new job.

Yesterday, she had been proudly declaring that being a stock market genius would be her lifelong career. The next second, she was completely wiped out.

After experiencing such highs and lows, Monica completely gave up on the idea of making money through stock trading.

Then, to make matters w...

*Chapter 219: The Style of a Stock Market Genius*

Nightfall.

Ring, ring, ring.

Adam was watching a videotape when the phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Adam, I have a question for you!"

Monica's excited voice came from the other end of the line.

"Mm-hmm."

Adam gestured for her to continue.

"Do you invest in stocks?"

Monica fired off a series of questions without a pause: "Which ones? How are they performing? How much money have you made?"

"Slow down, slow down...

Chapter 218: Who's the Bully?

One week later.

Same morning run as always.

Monica was absent.

"Don't bother calling her," Chandler said, waving his hand when he saw Adam about to check on Monica. "She's in a bad mood."

"What happened?" Adam asked curiously. "She was fine yesterday, wasn't she?"

"Her credit card bill arrived yesterday," Chandler explained. "After paying it off, she only has $127 left in her account."

"That little?" Adam suddenly understood.

*Chapter 183: Quick Attack, Instant Kill, and a Long Battle—Ice Emperor’s Fourth Consecutive Victory (3rd Update)*

“Ahhh…”

Just as the referee announced the end of the singles match and the Ice Emperor team erupted in cheers, Akutagawa lazily opened his eyes, stretching as if he had just woken up from a nap.

“Huh?!”

At that moment, he noticed something was off. A look of confusion spread across his face. “The match is over already?”

“Pfft!”

Seeing his opponent’s bewildered expression, Kai, who had just lost the match, almost spat out blood in frustr...

*Chapter 182: The Powerful Sleep State, Securing a Spot in the National Top 8 (Part 2)*

The tiebreaker.

It’s an extra thirteenth game that takes place when the match reaches a 6-6 tie.

Since it’s only one game, to ensure fairness, the rules state that the player who serves first at the start of the match will serve the first point. The opponent will then serve the next two points.

After that.

Both players alternate serving two points each.

This continues until one player reaches 7 points and maintains a lead of at least 2 points, securing...

*Chapter 181: Singles 2 - Akutagawa's Comeback (1st Update)*

"Two consecutive losses for Higa Chuu!"

Inoue couldn't help but sigh as he watched Hirakoba and Chinen retreat from the court. "It seems there's still a significant gap between a top-tier team and a national powerhouse."

Before the match, many had high hopes for Higa Chuu. Their track record was impressive—they had defeated Shitenhoji to dominate Kyushu and swept Rokkaku to advance to the second round undefeated. If Inoue were a Hyotei player, he would have been nervous...

Chapter 31: Accident

"Alright class, today we're heading to a private museum just outside of Austin. It's been around for over a hundred years..."

History teacher Elizabeth was giving a pretty unenthusiastic introduction to our field trip destination on the school bus.

None of the students on the school bus were listening attentively; they were either chatting or playing around.

The interesting thing was in the back row, where Roy, Jennifer, and Needy were sitting.

The two girls wer...

Chapter 30: What love triangle? Doesn't exist!

Roy sat in the locker room, calmly adjusting his gloves, listening to the deafening roar outside.

This time, Coach Lambert didn't say much. Having learned from the previous match, he already understood that Roy was just crushing the competition at this level.

"Roy, it's about time, let's head out."

Roy nodded and, with his jacket draped over his shoulders, walked from the locker room into the player tunnel

The arena was packed. Many people had come after hearing...

Chapter 830: Arrival and Surprise

Below him.

The ground rushed by in a blur.

Seimei soared through the air, watching it all unfold, but a wave of dizziness hit him hard.

Clearly, his visual nerves couldn’t keep up with his flight speed.

Without a second thought, he activated his Sharingan.

In an instant, his pupils turned blood-red, with three pitch-black tomoe spinning into view.

The next moment, everything snapped into sharp clarity.

And just like that, he felt a whole lot ...

Chapter 829: A Call for Help

A flurry of thoughts raced through Seimei’s mind, but he didn’t linger on them. Since he’d already allocated the 1.5 million chakra points, there was no point in wasting time.

With a flicker of intent, Seimei raised his hands, forming seals to cast the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique once again.

Poof!

A cloud of chakra smoke dispersed, revealing even more shadow clones than usual scattered across the clearing.

Seimei eyed them and started...

Chapter 8: Chasing the Sun

The next morning, Hikari and Might Guy arrived at the Hokage Building.

The first floor was a bustling, brightly lit hall—Konoha’s central hub for missions, permits, and everything in between.

"Welcome, shinobi-sama! I’m Sawada Fūka, the clerk handling adoptions. Please follow me."

A statuesque blonde in a sleek black skirt guided them to the counter, her rose-scented perfume trailing behind her. As they walked, envious glares from near...

*Chapter 7: The Scheme*

"If you don’t have a girlfriend, then I could—"

"Absolutely not!"

Might Guy flung his rag aside and leapt to his feet. His face, usually so bold and unyielding, flushed an unnatural shade of red as he waved his hands frantically at the small, silver-haired girl in front of him.

"I’d get thrown in prison!"

"What are you even thinking?" Hikari deadpanned, her expression darkening. 2025-04-25 12:57:18 +0000 UTC View Post

*Chapter 6: Might Guy*

The crescent moon hung bright in the sky, its light threading through the screen window like delicate strands, scattering across the stone floor like shattered jade.

In the dining room, under the glow of a fluorescent light, Might Guy cradled a bowl in his hands, lost in thought as he stared at the girl sitting rigidly across from him.

She stood about 1.3 meters tall—likely six or seven years old. A large white cloak sw...
