*Chapter 139: Moving to Seigaku, Chitose and Ryoma (Part 2)*

*Ice Emperor.

Tennis Club.*

During the afternoon club activities, the atmosphere on the training grounds was noticeably more relaxed than usual.

With the regulars, led by Atobe and Ishikawa, along with a few of the stronger second-string players gone, the remaining second-string representatives, led by Kurokawa and Kano, felt significantly less pressure.

Even though Ishikawa had established his authority earlier, he hadn’t actually demanded that the regu...

Chapter 25: Dead Serious

So, this “bread roll” thing? It’s basically a sandwich—two slices of long bread stuffed with whatever filling you’re craving, making a tasty little meal.

Honestly, North America’s food scene is kind of a barren wasteland compared to the deep, endless variety of Chinese cuisine. If Ronan had one lingering obsession right now, it’d be those unforgettable Chinese dishes. But when it comes to food, he’s always game to try new stuff. Back in the day, these flavors we...

Chapter 24: Simple Happiness

“Thanks, thank you for the encouragement and support—that’s the final piece that made tonight perfect.”

Cliff’s heartfelt thanks echo in the air, followed by the high-pitched chatter of Ollie and Maxim. Duncan steps away with a light skip, but the warm buzz in his chest keeps humming.

He can’t help it—he glances back one more time. There they are, the young band slapping high-fives, cheering over a single word of praise. It lifts his spirits too, a soft sm...

“Wait, wait, wait—you’re saying I messed up the beat?”

“Duh, yeah!”

“No way! It was Ronan! I was totally sticking to the original rhythm…”

“…Nope, not even close. Ronan was on fire tonight—pitch, tone, rhythm, everything was spot-on from start to finish. No slip-ups. Don’t try to dodge the blame!”

“Come on! My ears don’t lie—Ronan totally jumped the beat, okay?”

Chapter 808: Change

Feeling the chakra stockpiled in the interdimensional space at his brow, Seimei glanced at his proficiency panel and started seriously mulling over how to divvy up these 630,000 points.

First up, "Fire Release: Flame Convergence Strike" needed a bigger investment.

The 306,000 points he was pumping into it daily wasn’t chump change, but like he’d said before, for this jutsu, more chakra was always better.

So, he decided to carve out 194,000 points from the pool, br...

Chapter 807: Calm and Progress

A bunch of thoughts flickered through Seimei’s mind. He sat there spacing out for a bit before shaking it off, refocusing, and diving back into his training.

“Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!”

In a flash, over a hundred shadow clones popped up without a sound.

He split them up like it was second nature, assigning groups to work on different skills, and got the ball rolling.

Another day passed in a blink.

Just as planned, his “Lightning Release: ...

Las Vegas.

At night, after enjoying a big dinner with the family, Adam and the other three followed the address Joey had given them and arrived at a small theater nearby.

Seeing the flamboyantly dressed staff around him, Adam’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but blurt out the classic catchphrase.

After deciding to give up, Joey walked away dejectedly. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Adam struggling to hold back his laughter, his face contorted as he tried to keep it in. This only made Joey more embarrassed and annoyed.

"Hahaha!"

Adam couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

Chapter 10: Jennifer's Past

Nidi's parents didn't turn Roy away when he visited. They recognized him as the boy who had brought Nidi home that night.

They were deeply worried about Nidi's current emotional state, but since she had locked herself in her room and refused to see anyone, they felt helpless.

Nidi's mother led Roy to her room and knocked on the door.

"Nidi, your classmate is here to see you!"

"I don't want to see anyone!"

"Is that the same line you used to trick Nidhi?"

*Chapter 78: Windowed Marketing Model*

After the third week, the daily box office for My Big Fat Greek Wedding dropped by over 50% compared to the previous week, with the third week pulling in just $500,000. Still, the cumulative North American box office has hit a whopping $1.3 billion!

That said, neither Dunn Films nor Twentieth Century Fox seems too worried about the downward trend.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is one of those slow-burn movies that can stick around in theaters for a long haul....

Tom Cruise grabbed his glass, ready to smash it on the floor in a fit of rage!

But right then, Dunn piped up, “A collaboration? Sure, why not? If we team up, we could totally make a classic action flick!”

Chapter 76: The Invitation from Handsome Tom

As agreed, Dunn showed up at the famous Thomas Keller restaurant in Beverly Hills. This place used to be a century-old French laundry spot, but now it’s the go-to hub for fancy French cuisine in California.

Scoring a VIP private room here? Dunn was a bit surprised. Since when did Nicole Kidman have this kind of pull?

But the second he stepped into the room, it all clicked.

There, sitting with a handsome, all-too-familiar face, was none other than Tom Cruise!

As the chorus melody climbs higher, Ronan’s voice effortlessly soars to a high note, “…play my music.”

He grazes the high pitch with a light touch, then smoothly pulls it back, showing off his skills without overdoing it. It’s a little flex—cool and confident—before he dials it back down, staying humble. It’s like… a high school kid in a white shirt, hopping up to tap the classroom doorframe as he walks in or out.

“Hey, Dallas!”

A sudden call startled Dallas, making him stand bolt upright. However, his overzealous movement caused him to lose his balance. He nearly showcased an impromptu face-plant performance, stumbling forward two steps, flailing his arms awkwardly before finally regaining stability. Quickly, he puffed out his chest and straightened his back, pretending nothing had happened.

Roy thought the call was from Needy, but the voice on the other end was unexpectedly cold.

"You sound disappointed. Is that because you were expecting Needy to call instead?"

Roy smirked slightly. She wasn’t wrong—he was hoping for Needy’s call. She was easier to win over and currently his primary target.

That said, Jennifer was still in the pond; he just had to fish for her differently.

Chapter 806: The Path Ahead

Three days later.

With that, he was racking up nine evolution points daily for his Byakugan.

Plus, when he paired "Human Path" with "Palm Sage Technique" to boost his body, the enhancement to his Byakugan didn’t drop off much eit...
