Sengoku didn't need to meet at the library. Instead, Claudius was waiting for him at an ocean-view restaurant, prepared to have lunch together.
The entire restaurant was surrounded by a massive aquarium, creating an elegant ambiance. In fact, the aquarium itself served as the source of many of the restaurant's ingredie...
Cavani stood at the penalty spot.
He adjusted the headband on his forehead, smoothed back his damp hair, wiped the sweat from his face, then took a slow step back.
Hands on his hips, he locked eyes with Van der Sar, standing tall in the Manchester United goal.
The Uruguayan striker's face was set with det...
The world of Naruto had its fair share of amusing characters.
Jiraiya was one.
Naruto was another.
And without a doubt, Killer Bee was yet another.
Though each of them could be serious and formidable in battle, their everyday personalities leaned toward the goofy and eccentric.
The Eight-Tails had l...
"Morgan Edge, you've gone too far."
A solemn, aged voice rang out, calm yet firm.
As the voice echoed, everyone instinctively turned their heads toward its source, their expressions shifting to surprise.
An old man, dressed in a well-tailored tuxedo with silver trim, stepped forward. His thin frame, gray ...
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was both lively and strangely charged. Many members of the family took turns mocking Bardi, reducing him to nothing in their words.
They called him a lowlife, a disgrace, a man of no character or morality, someone fundamentally different from them, the so-called elite.
The uppe...
As Ethan locked eyes with the lich, the undead creature lifted its head in response. Its skeletal face, barely distinguishable from a bare skull, had no eyeballs, only two eerie, flame-like lights flickering within its hollow sockets.
Being stared at by those unnatural eyes sent a chilling sensation through Ethan, as i...
The knight did indeed remember Aegor not just because his investment had earned him several gold dragons in interest upon redemption, but also due to Aegor's distinctive black attire and foreign features as a sworn brother of the Night's Watch. Recognizing him at a glance, the knight not only greeted him warmly but also intro...

Watching Fionn vanish, Darnic clenched his fists, his heart filled with both shock and unwillingness.
What shocked him, of course, was Solomon's overwhelming strength.
But what truly filled him with despair was that he had now lost everything.
Without a Servant, his participation in th...
"It worked."
Iskandar dispelled his army and returned to the outside world alongside Karna, a triumphant smile on his face as he looked at everyone.
Upon hearing that all the Demon Pillars had been destroyed, the gathered Heroic Spirits finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The destructive power of those Dem...
"Well then, let's get back to today's gathering."
Ren shifted the topic back on track.
"The main purpose of today's meeting is for everyone to get to know each other better."
"After that, I'll explain my next course of action."
"My next move might be a bit reckless."
This statement piqued th...
Today, the Amamiya household was unusually lively.
Since the diary holders had never formally gathered before, a proper meeting was arranged after school.
Naturally, the Amamiya residence was chosen as the venue.
As the diary's owner, it made sense for Ren's home to serve as the central meeting point.
...
Nagi, who had been listening nearby, suddenly blushed.
Clearly, after being led astray by the conversation earlier, her thoughts had also veered in the wrong direction.
She had genuinely believed Maria's assumption was correct.
Who knew it would turn out to be something entirely different?
Simply p...
Seeing Sanzenin Nagi fall silent, Ren didn't press her further. Instead, he stepped aside, giving her space to think.
"Nagi, this is something you need to decide for yourself."
Maria didn't urge her either. Instead, she turned to Ren.
"Mr. Amamiya, may I have a word with you?"
"Of course."
T...
[I really didn't expect this.]
[Sanzenin and Saginomiya, both from Hakuo Academy, transferred at the same time.]
[By the way, Sanzenin Nagi must have really made up her mind. Her shut-in tendencies are pretty extreme.]
[And Saginomiya Isumiβ¦]
[Her abilities are undeniable, but her weaknesses are ...
"Is this really the right choice?" Momo asked with a soft smile.
Kaminari frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Relying completely on an external tool and bypassing the training and challenges specifically designed for us by our teachers, is that really the right thing to do?"
Kaminari fell silent, contemplating ...
Teach knew better than to overstay his welcome. The man in front of him was clearly a pragmatist, one who valued results over empty words. If Teach wanted benefits, he had to prove his worth first.
Still, this trip hadn't been a loss. He had secured a connection with a Celestial Dragon.
In his mind, Teach had ...
"O'Shea missed it!"
From the sidelines, Gao Shen shouted urgently, trying to alert his players on the field.
Whether in the first leg or the second leg, Manchester United's right-back had been struggling.
At the San Paolo, he had been completely torched by Di Maria, leading to Napoli's equalizer.

"Tonight is the night when his true strength is revealed!"
As Ferguson stood before the home team's coaching bench, watching Di Maria assist Sanchez for a goal against Manchester United, he let out a deep sigh. His face, usually stoic, was now marked with solemnity.
In the first leg, Gao Shen's tactics and perfo...
Why had Pain appeared here?
As the leader of Akatsuki, he was responsible for summoning the Gedo Statue whenever a JinchΕ«riki was captured to begin the sealing process.
Upon learning that Orochimaru had successfully captured the Two-Tails, both he and Konan had immediately set out.
Yet now, after hearing...
"Silence. You're interrupting my invitation to the lady."
Bardi's voice was cold, his tone carrying a sharp reprimand without any trace of politeness.
He stood taller than the host of the banquet, Morgan Edge. His presence loomed like an unshakable mountainβmajestic, powerful, and commanding. Having once been ...
The powerful energy blast tore through everything in front of Ethan, shattering the distorted illusion into nothingness. The undead responsible for the deception didn't even have time to react before it was reduced to dust, erased from existence.
The remaining force of the blast ripped through the ghost ship, creating ...
Not to mention Casey, a young man from King's Landing who had only just come of ageβeven Aegor, who had "served as a soldier" before, found himself momentarily stunned by the sheer scale of the military camp before him.
Compared to this gathering of forces, Castle Black was nothing more than a small outpost. Of cours...
After returning to her room, Sonoko flopped onto her bed with a groan.
"My dad found out after allβ¦"
Honestly, she had expected this outcome.
In their family, moving large amounts of money required approval from her parents.
She had planned to keep it under wraps and negotiate with her father lat...
Shiro felt conflicted.
He had always been deeply curious about the unknown, with a strong yearning for mystery.
The Suzuki Zaibatsu had already reached the peak of what a business empire could achieve. There was little room for further expansion.
Having nearly conquered the corporate world, Shiro found hi...
"Second Miss."
"Uncle Ryo, open the trunk. I need to load something."
"Understood."
With a press of a button, the trunk of the car slowly opened.
"Amamiya, thanks for your help."
From the rearview mirror, the driver, Uncle Ryo, caught sight of a boy walking behind the car.
Bang!
Hearing Claudius's words, Teach felt a jolt of shock. "Damn⦠Did he see through me that quickly? Did I expose my ambitions so easily?"
But he didn't dare to say anything.
If he denied it, it might come across as an attempt to deceive Claudius, and Teach wasn't sure about this man's temperament yet. If he mis...
Standing outside the door, Teach was already overwhelmed by the sheer luxury of the corridor leading to the library. The entire space felt like a seamless masterpiece of opulence.
This corridor had no windows, yet every three meters, a lampstand made of pure sterling silver was mounted on the walls. But instead of cand...
On a ship sailing through the New World, Teach sat inside his cabin, uncertain of his destination or whom he was about to meet. The only thing he knew was that the person he was about to see had to be someone truly formidable. After all, this person was the master of Enel, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"I never...
Claudius had no idea about the fight that had erupted between Enel, Shanks, Marco, and Teach on Versailles Island.
After all, it wasn't that big of a deal.
Other major factions on the seas hadn't even paid attention to it. Small-scale conflicts happened all the time, Kaido's men constantly clashed with Whitebear...
