*Chapter 154: Singles 3, Akutsu vs. Kirihara (1st Update)*

At this moment.

Chitose, who stood at the pinnacle of the Kansai region, suddenly felt as though he had come face-to-face with a towering mountain.

After exhausting all his strength, he finally thought he had reached the summit. But as the mist cleared, Chitose realized that the place he had struggled so hard to climb was still merely the base of the mountain.

"This guy is too strong!"

As he looked at Ishikawa, a flicker of awe flashed in Chitose's complex gaze...

Chapter 95: Premiere in Progress

The countdown to the North American release of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace has officially begun!

Dunn knew early on that Star Wars is a huge part of American culture and absolutely beloved.

But even so, experiencing it for the first time still blew him away. It’s like… well, imagine the vibe of those nail-biting college entrance exams he’d been through—tense, heavy, and everyone’s eyes glued to it.

The New York Times chi...

Chapter 94: Marvel Studios

On April 2nd, Marvel Entertainment sent out a slick negotiation team led by their Chief Operating Officer, Dan Buckley, to Twentieth Century Fox. Their mission? To chat with Tom Rothman about bringing some heroes back into the Marvel fold.

Dunn didn’t meddle in this one—he trusted Tom Rothman’s smarts. If Tom wanted to dodge past conflicts and shift toward cooperation, he’d have to cough up some serious benefits. Otherwise, no deal!

Right now, Dunn’s got a bigger hea...

Chapter 93: Acquiring Marvel!

April 1, 1999, was a day worth celebrating in bold, colorful ink for Dunn and Dunn Films!

After seven months of tough negotiations—eight rounds total, with Dunn personally jumping into four of them—Dunn Films and Marvel Entertainment finally sealed the deal. For a cool $80 million, Dunn Films bought out all of Marvel Entertainment’s shares. Yup, you heard that right—Marvel’s now officially a fully-owned subsidiary of Dunn Films!

This win didn’t happen by magic...

Chapter 92: The Old Fox and the Little Fox

Truth is, everyone’s pretty sharp around here.

In the business world, there aren’t any forever allies—just forever interests.

Even with all the friction in the past, Dunn never completely ruled out working with Tom Rossman. Sure, the guy’s just a Fox president with his power seriously trimmed, but the influence, connections, and info he still controls? Dunn’s little film company can’t even dream of matching that!

“Look, even if you’ve got enough ...

Chapter 816: Confirmation

Almost the instant Seimei appeared, he brought his hands together in front of his chest, forming seals for a defensive ninjutsu resembling 'Earth Style: Hardening Technique'.

With a ripping sound, Seimei's hand slashed across the back of his opponent's neck, tearing through the black cloak but failing to injure him at all.

Not only that, but the Iwagakure ANBU member seized the opportunity to leap forward, creating distance from Seimei. At the same time, he twisted ninety d...

Chapter 815: Rollercoaster (Part 2)

After a moment, Seimei released his hand, confirming the other person's memories were fine. Neither he, nor any of the contacts under his command, had betrayed him.

In other words, the incident really was just a blunder.

For Seimei, this brought some measure of comfort.

As Seimei withdrew his hand and looked at the trembling rogue ninja before him, just about to speak, a familiar thrum of energy pulsed again.

"Hm?"

Guided by the sensation, Seimei instantly pinpoi...

Chapter 195: The Dark Side

Las Vegas.

Luxury Suite.

"This guy is tough. You need to be careful," Adam reminded.

"I know," Juno replied with a smile. "But it doesn’t matter."

Adam was momentarily stunned, then twitched the corner of his mouth.

He almost forgot—this Ben Campbell might be cunning, even willing to take legal risks for his future, but no matter how smart he was, how could he possibly compare to the person in front of him?

It was like showing off an ...

Chapter 194: Eye-Opening

In the Hallway.

It was only a few steps away, yet William found it incredibly difficult to move forward.

Damn it!

He didn’t need to take any pills?

Was he even human?

William was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment to the extreme.

Then, he thought about how he would explain this when he returned.

Tell the truth?

They probably wouldn’t believe him.

Even he didn’t believe it.

Yeah, how could it b...

*Chapter 193: Seeking Medicine*

Las Vegas.

A luxurious suite.

William lay there, pretending to be dead.

The rich woman nudged him a couple of times, but he didn’t react, making her purse her lips in mild annoyance.

She knew, of course, that he was faking it. But considering how exhausted he truly was tonight, she decided to let it slide.

After all, not many people become wealthy by being foolish.

They either have a rich father, a rich husband, or wealth of their own. ...

Chapter 17: Special Bloodline

Ding! Obtained Jennifer Morgan's Conquest Treasure Chest! Open it?

Roy hadn't expected it. He'd been focusing on Needy for a while, playing a bit of a push-and-pull game with Jennifer. In the end, though, Jennifer was the one he ended up going all the way with first.

Guess all that teasing couldn't compare to just going for it directly.

Jennifer was sound asleep. This girl dared to challenge a 28-centimeter "nightstick" on her first try, and naturally, she was comp...

*Chapter 16: First Blood*

The stairs leading to the first floor had already been burned down, leaving Roy with no choice but to help the police officers jump down from the second-floor balcony.

For someone with an abdominal wound, this was pure agony—but at least they had made it out alive.

"Nice job, Roy! I’ve already called for firefighters and ambulances over the radio. Backup will be here soon!"

During the holiday season, emergency services are always on high alert to prevent accidents...

*Chapter 26: The White Flash, Fame Across the Shinobi World*

On a remote island, Yoru and his team finally stopped to catch their breath after fleeing nonstop, ensuring no pursuers were behind them.

"Hah… hah… That was… way too close…"

Yoru slumped against a tree, gasping for air like his lungs were on fire. His throat burned, and his chest felt ready to explode.

"Heh… Still, gotta admit… that was kinda thrilling."

He was the only one with enough energy to talk. Normally, Yoru’s carefree at...

Chapter 25: "I Acknowledge You"

"Your hand seals are terrifyingly fast, but a Water Wall won’t stop a Chidori!" Kakashi thought coldly.

The Chidori was an A-rank ninjutsu—nothing could withstand it!

If a mere Water Wall blocked it, he’d wash his hair upside down.

But the next moment, Kakashi’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Squelch!"

His arm pierced through the Water Wall… yet couldn’t advance another inch.

It stopped right at Yoru’s chest, barely breaking sk...

Chapter 24: Godlike – Yoru’s Overwhelming Power

"Who in the shinobi world doesn’t know the Uchiha clan’s genius? Was recognizing you really that hard?"

Yoru’s mocking voice echoed through the dense fog.

Lying in wait, Uchiha Itachi tensed.

"I’ve encountered a formidable enemy."

His mind raced:

"This Kirigakure no Jutsu (Mist Technique) is abnormal. My Sharingan can’t penetrate it, and even my perception is blocked. This is… troublesome."

"SHING—!"

A sharp sound whis...

Chapter 23: "Uchiha Itachi… A Pleasure to Meet You"

"Schlick!"

A blade punched through his heart before he could react.

"Taka, White Wolf—we’re extracting the target!"

Yoru’s voice cut through the chaos. While the other Kirigakure ANBU were pinned down, their squad—dismissed due to their youth—had been ignored.

"Roger!"

Though they resented taking orders from him, the mission came first. The three moved in sync.

"Stop them! That leader isn’t ordinary!"

Kakashi’s command rang...

Chapter 22: Prepare to Face Death

Anbu Mission Room

"Let’s move!"

Yoru had barely arrived when Taka and Shirō appeared. Without delay, the team set out.

On the way, Tenkō briefed them:

"This mission is to eliminate a pirate stronghold near the Land of Water. Should be relatively simple."

Yoru thought to himself:

"Now this is more like it. Hunting rogue ninja was way above our paygrade."

While inland nations like the Land of Fire dealt with bandits, island nations...

Chapter 21: "Damn, Sis, You’re Savage"

"Elder Genryū, mind your words. This was merely internal pest control—don’t go labeling us as rebels."

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now."

With that, Mei Terumī strode out boldly alongside her ANBU escort, leaving Elder Genryū alone with the corpse of his son, Kanta Sen.

True, Genryū held immense power—but only by the Mizukage’s grace. In moments like this, his authority meant nothing.

The ANBU wouldn’t obey him. And Mei had just...

Chapter 336: There’s a Traitor Among Us!

*Knock, knock!*

The door of a house at the end of a remote alley was struck with two knocks.

However, the two people waiting outside had been there for a long time, and yet, no response had come from within.

Standing at the entrance, one could peer through the gaps in the wooden planks and see the inside of the house, covered in cobwebs—a desolate scene that had not been cleaned for ages. Occasionally, the c...

Chapter 241: The Circus Has Arrived

“It seems my decision to invest a large amount of [Plot Points] in the evolution of Spike was indeed the right one.”

Through the system panel, Allen observed Spike’s performance. He nodded, satisfaction evident on his face.

Having Spike as part of Amanda’s team to drive the plot had undoubtedly saved him a significant amount of [Plot Points] needed for script revisions.

Contentedly, Allen shifted his focus away from the team�...
