Chapter 261: Fierce Battle, A Clash of Wills!

“The cross racket is broken!”

In the coaches’ room, Takuzo’s spirits lifted.

“It was expected,” said Saito, crossing his arms and shaking his head. “Oni-kun must have anticipated this too.”

Oni had claimed he wouldn’t warm up.

But by bringing out the cross racket, he was clearly testing Ishikawa.

*Chapter 26: Parents Attacked, Tsukuyomi Unleashed*

Just as Kazama had everything set and was about to head back to Konoha with Kakashi and the others, they ran into an Anbu team rushing from the village.

“Sanada Kazama, Hokage-sama requests your immediate return to Konoha.”

“What’s wrong?”

Hearing the Anbu ninja’s words, Kazama felt a sinkin...

Chapter 176: Stirring the Pot Is Where the Fun’s At

This year, Dunn Films has been pumping money into quite a few projects.

Steven Soderbergh’s <Traffic> kicked off in early April. If it stays on track, it’ll wrap in about a month. They’re eyeing a release late this December or maybe early next year.

Ang Lee’s <Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon> got the green light by late April and moved...

*Chapter 175: Brazilian Supermodels*

No question about it, Gisele Bündchen was the brightest star at the party—outshining even some of the Hollywood actresses there.

Last year, she walked the Victoria’s Secret runway and snagged Model of the Year. This year, she landed a contract with the lingerie giant, cementing her status as a world-class supermodel.

But the two friends she brought along? Just as daz...

Chapter 174: Don’t Let a Single One Off the Hook

It’d been months since Dunn last let loose at a wild party.

This time, when Leonardo extended the invite, he couldn’t come up with a reason to say no.

Over the past few years, Leonardo had been just like Dunn—living it up in Hollywood’s glitzy, reckless scene. But now, out of nowhere, the guy was in love!

And of course, his new flame fit his type to a T: b...

*Chapter 33: Odd Jobs on Halloween Night*

Two days later, Cody still went to work at the restaurant, but this time he listened to his supervisor's suggestion and bought a second modified wheelchair to get there.

When he arrived at the restaurant, he could feel his colleagues collectively breathe a sigh of relief when they saw he hadn't driven that car to work.

Santos and the others saw him come in and immediately wav...

*Chapter 32: Not Peaceful*

"Age?"

"24, I'm a restaurant server."

"Gender?"

"Male."

"Name?"

"Cody."

Looking at the stark, blinding light of the interrogation room, Cody couldn't help but squint.

"I was just driving by, sir. Do you really need to bring me in for questioning?"

"You don't look like a good guy."

Hearing such a simple, direct answer, Cody was speechl...

*Chapter 31: Disaster Strikes Out of Nowhere*

Practice shooting? Practice my ass.

Although Cody really wanted to say that, his current shooting skill level honestly wasn't quite good enough yet.

If he hadn't bought the Basic Firearms Proficiency skill, that shot he took at the chandelier back then might've missed and hit the manager instead.

The old-school Gotham thugs got their shooting skills from decades of gunf...

Chapter 276: I'll Leave My Mom in Your Hands

*Plaza Hotel.*

*Wedding Venue.*

"Dad, Ross is over there. You should go talk to him."

Monica, sensing the tense atmosphere, quickly urged her parents away.

"You talk too much!"

After Monica’s parents left, her mother complained, "What, are you trying to play the man again? Or did you sense something was off with Ross and want to...

Chapter 275: The Ever-Charming Nora

*Inside the Car*

The cheers of Chandler and his friends filled Adam with satisfaction.

Although he wasn’t a big fan of sports aside from synchronized swimming, diving, gymnastics, and volleyball, he understood that premium front-row seats for a major game were a huge treat for true fans.

This was the first event Adam had prepared for Chandler’s bachel...

*Smack! Smack! Smack!*

Seeing that the driver was ignoring him, Adam had already started to suspect something. He pounded forcefully on the sealed partition. The soundproof barrier couldn't withstand such a heavy beating from Adam.

The car slowly came to a stop.

The partition was retracted.

"Sir?"

The driver looked at Adam with an innocent...

Chapter 24: Silencing the Witness

In the vast emptiness of space, a flash of white light signaled the Lancer, a YT-1000 light freighter, dropping out of hyperspace.

They’d finally escaped Mygeeto, and the whole crew let out a collective sigh of relief. Ventus, utterly drained, climbed out of the turret and collapsed onto the deck. Murt unbuckled his harness, rushed over from the cockpit, and helped him u...

Chapter 23: Breaking the Line

*Section 22: Breakthrough*

“Hold on tight!” Murt gripped the controls of the YT-1000 freighter, slamming the throttle forward as the hatch sealed shut. The ship surged like a wild bantha, rocketing toward open space.

From the ground, a barrage of blaster bolts lit up the sky, but the small-caliber blasters couldn’t threaten a ship at this altitude.

On sev...

Chapter 22: Who Poked the Hornet’s Nest?

A ship snapped out of hyperspace, materializing in the void.

“Alright, we’re in Mygeeto’s gravity well. Preparing to land,” Murt announced.

Ventus gazed out the viewport, a stunning planet coming into view. This was the Muun homeworld, the third planet in its star system. Its frigid temperatures cloaked it in a near-permanent layer of ice, making it shimmer like a gem...

*Section 20: Jedi Knights*

“So, if you can set aside your biases, you’ll see this isn’t the Trade Federation’s style. If they were really here to mine, it wouldn’t look like this,” Qui-Gon Jinn said. “Let’s fly over and check out who’s at that mining station.”

“Wait a sec… there’s a massive signal!” the co-pilot blurted out. “It�...

*Chapter 64: Penelope Brown*

Penny skillfully stuffed some loose change and cards from the office desk down her top, then picked up a small safe from under the desk. Judging by her practiced movements, it was clear this wasn't her first time doing this.

"Let's go."

Before leaving, Penny didn't forget to spit on her boss.

As they left the office, three security guards who had heard the gunshot came ...

Chapter 63: An Energetic Performance

That week, Roy spent his days skiing with Jennifer and Niddy and his nights night skiing with Heather. He was having an amazing time.

Unfortunately, good times always come to an end too quickly. The Cowboy Cup semifinals were coming up, so Roy had to start getting ready to head back to Waterfall Town.

On the seventh day after Christmas, Roy and Niddy's family officially start...

Chapter 863: On the Right Track

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.

Night had long fallen.

But the surroundings weren’t all that dark. A bright moon hung high overhead, casting its glow across the entire island.

At the center of the island, atop a massive boulder, Seimei paused his practice of Shōsen Jutsu (Mystical Palm Technique) and Hito no Miya (Human Sanctuary). He ...

*Chapter 862: Allocation*

Back on the massive boulder at the island’s center, Seimei pulled up his status panel, checking the progress of his skills and pondering how to allocate his chakra next.

First off, Chakra Refining Technique and Chakra Control could be ignored.

The former’s proficiency only built up slowly over time, no matter how much chakra he threw at...
