*Four Seasons Hotel, New York.*
*Banquet Hall.*
For the moment, Adam had become the center of attention at the banquet.
Faced with so many seasoned professionals and industry giants, he showed no sign of nervousness. Instead, he spoke with confidence and ease.
This was America—a place where people valued presenting the best version of themselves. Even if they didn’t have something, they had to act as if they did. Confidence was key....

The Banquet Hall
"I heard Steven Murphy is coming to our school," James said with a knowing smile.
"Murphy?" Leonard frowned. "You mean Murphy, as in Murphy Pharmaceuticals?"
"Yeah." James nodded, giving a look that said, Do I really need to explain further?
"Why isn't he going to Harvard?" Leonard asked, puzzled.
Even though they were all graduates of Columbia University’s medical ...

At the Four Seasons Hotel in New York, the banquet hall had been meticulously arranged for an upscale cocktail party.
Uniformed waitstaff—both male and female, all good-looking—moved gracefully through the crowd, providing impeccable service to the guests.
Men in tailored suits and women in elegant evening gowns gathered in small groups, champagne in hand, engaging in lively conversation.
“Adam, let me introduce you. This is Profe...

A soft sound echoed across the court.
Under the stunned gazes of the spectators, Kaidoh Kentaro from Rokkaku Middle School had once again hit the ball into the net.
The sudden change left Akutsu, who was at the baseline, frozen in place. He hesitated, unsure whether to rush forward or give up, and ended up just standing there, dumbfounded.
"Game!"
"Rokkaku's Kaidoh leads 1-0! Change sides!"
"That's our Kentaro!"...

The defeat of Saeki and his partner immediately caused the young supporters of Rokkaku Middle School to hang their heads in disappointment.
You see, in their hearts, Rokkaku had been an unstoppable force since the regional tournaments, sweeping through every opponent without a single loss. But now, even the mighty Saeki had fallen. They couldn’t imagine how Rokkaku could possibly advance from here.
"Don’t worry, everyone."
At that mom...

Outside the court.
Inoue watched the players from both teams exchanging words at the net and nodded to himself. "The showdown between Tokyo's top team and Chiba's number one is definitely going to be exciting."
"That's true," Shiba chimed in, though he furrowed his brow slightly. "But seeing Rokkaku's captain standing next to Atobe just feels... off."
"Huh?" Inoue was taken aback.
He glanced at the court, where the young captain of...

Before he came along, things were already shifting. Thanks to him, Kate Winslet snagged an Oscar for Best Actress at just 22 for Titanic—a total flex on his part. Nicole Kidman’s career? Way less bumpy than it could’ve been—yep, his doing. Reese Witherspoon? She reworked her whole career...
2025-04-06 05:55:48 +0000 UTC View PostEver since Dunn shot Titanic, he’s been a hot topic in the gossip rags.
At first, it was all self-hype—Dunn just wanted to boost his fame fast. But later? Oh, it was all about those juicy rumors!
Take the latest sizzling gossip, for example: Dunn Walker supposedly invited two up-and-coming starlets, Reese Witherspoon and Elizabeth Hurley, over for a wild threesome. The tabloids went nuts, painting it so vividly you’d think they had photos!

2025-04-06 05:55:07 +0000 UTC View PostDunn realized he’d gotten a bit too worked up. Calming himself down, he asked gently, “Excuse me… are you Miss Natalie Portman?”
The girl pressed her lips together tightly, sneaking a quick glance at Dunn before focusing her attention on George Lucas.
Before coming here, her mom—also her agent—had warned her: George Lucas was the only Jewish person in the room, and if push came to shove, he’d definitely step in to help.
Sure enough, George gave her an en...

Gulp. Gulp.
The underwater world was so quiet and peaceful. All the noise and chaos faded away, leaving only the soft gurgling of water in his ears. The jumble of restless thoughts gradually settled, and for a brief moment, Ronan slipped back into that state of lost hearing. Oddly enough, it helped him regain his balance. The scattered ideas drifting through the cosmos of his mind slowly came back down to earth, and even his heartbe...

With his stomach tightened and upper body leaning forward, Ronan lurched ahead, smacking his forehead against another with a crisp thud—like two overripe watermelons colliding. The recoil sent both of them tumbling backward. Ronan felt the unforgiving resistance of the hardwood floor once again, the impact jarring his waist and shoulder blades. His body curled up instinctively, and he couldn’t help but grimace and groan in pain.
“Ah!”

Just then, Hannah, clad only in lingerie, padded in barefoot, clutching a thick stack of documents. "Here, the China branch sent over more scripts. I really don't get it, do you have to personally review all of these?"
Taking the scripts, Wayne explained with a smile, "While Hollywood mostly ...

On the other side—
In the heart of Yunming City, the capital of the Land of Lightning, lies a luxurious area surrounded by towering inner castle walls.
The residence of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, known as the Tenshukaku, stood there.
This structure, the largest and tallest of Japanese-style castles, served as both a lookout and a command post, while symbolizing feudal auth...

A dazzling halo of light unfolded and bloomed before his eyes. Cautiously, Ronan raised his right hand, opened his palm, and gently felt the warmth of the light as it landed there. It was warm—almost scorching, even burning—but it traced the lines of his palm so clearly, like the veins of a leaf. His fingertips instinctively curled inward a little, as if trying to close his hand, only to flatten it out again. He just sat there, quietly gaz...

The journalist sitting across from him was a woman in her thirties. She’d carefully done up her face with the latest trendy freckle makeup, giving her a refined yet youthful look. Her chestnut curls fell lazily over her shoulders, and a practiced, subtle smile played on her lips. She held her phone in her right hand, the screen displaying the question she’d just asked.
Her smile was flawle...

Hattori felt a sense of regret for the death of the Third Kazekage, but that didn’t mean he respected the man. He could still recall the first words the Kazekage spoke when they met:
“Show me your worth!”
Every time Hattori remembered that phrase, he felt uncomfortable.
“What right does he have to judge my worth? Just because he’s the Kazekage?”
To the Third Kazekage, perhaps a person’s capabilities equaled the...

Hattori began farming experience, while Mizusuna was left utterly stunned on the sidelines.
She’d never seen a medical ninja switch between techniques so effortlessly; the speed with which he switched made her head spin.
"Even I can’t switch medical techniques with such precision and ease. For him to do it like this—he’s clearly mastered these techniques to perfection. It’s almost unbelievable...is this what they call a g...

After hearing Ron Meyer talk about Hollywood’s current obsession with superhero films, Allen’s expression turned peculiar.
In a way, the person responsible for the current flood of superhero movies in Hollywood was Allen himself.
Of course, Allen’s original intent when designing his script was merely to bring the extraordinary into reality.
Who could have predicted that Andrew and his group would let their imaginations run ...

Inside the tennis park, after Akutsu's intervention, Yukita and his gang lay on the ground, bruised and begging for forgiveness.
But Ishikawa wasn't about to let them off so easily.
After hearing from bystanders about the despicable behavior of these delinquents, he immediately called the park's security and handed them over to the police.

Since two matches were scheduled for today, even schools as far away as Rikkai from Kanagawa had arrived early at the Tokyo venue.
By 9 a.m., representatives from all the schools had gathered.
Outside an open-air court capable of accommodating seven to eight hundred spectators, a crowd had already formed. Most of them were dressed in gray-white jackets.
Though there were no chants, no cheerleading ribbons or pom...

It was the fifth game.

He gently tapped the tennis ball, feeling a different sensation in his grip compared to before. When he looked up at Echizen, the mist-lik...
