"What's in the letter?" Tyrion asked curiously.
"It's nothing good," Aegor replied, his brow furrowed. "As of the time this letter was sent, Benjen and his patrols still haven't returned to Castle Black. Mormont has sent out several more search parties, but none of them found any trace of him. Now, he's preparing to organize a large-scale reconnaissance mission beyond the Wall. The letter not only urges Yoren to bring the new recruits back to the Wall as soon as possible, but also asks...

A gasp of disbelief echoed in the room, and even Tyrion turned to Aegor with a look of despair: Hey, we agreed in advance there would be rewards, but shouldn't such an important decision at least be discussed beforehand?
Tyrion restrained himself from objecting outright and waited until they had left the house to confront Aegor. "Brother, that's one-tenth! I don't mind using some tricks to retain talent, but have you thought about how much we'll need to invest to expand that factory? Y...

After hearing the situation clearly, Kaminari nodded and replied, "Alright, I understand."
"Boy, just be patient," Mitsui Buntais said with calm confidence. "I promise you, you'll be out of there within three days at most!"
Despite his composed demeanor, Mitsui exuded certainty. In Japan's capitalist society, the combined influence of two top conglomerates and a prestigious university was a force that even the prime minister couldn't ignore.
For ordinary people, the death...

In the casino, Fujitora was smiling broadly as he tossed his chips onto the table with excitement. Despite his streak of losses, he felt as though he was dominating the game.
Having heard about the Gran Tesoro's reputation as one of the best casinos in the world, he had been eager to visit. As a ronin with no ties or obligations, he figured there was no reason not to come here and gamble.
And to his surprise, the casino was as good as people said.

The words Gao Shen had spoken weighed heavily on Valdano's mind.
In the end, Valdano had to admit that Gao Shen's arguments made a great deal of sense and demonstrated remarkable foresight.
But the truth was, Real Madrid's pursuit of Kaka was inevitable.
The recruitment of a superstar like Kaka wasn't just about football; it was a massive and intricate project involving player salaries, sponsorships, and commercial agreements. Just resolving the conflicts between Kaka's c...

Hanzo was the leader of Amegakure, also known as the "Demigod" of the ninja world.
However, since his defeat at the hands of the Sannin during the Second Great Ninja War, his reputation had taken a steep decline.
Though it was his only defeat, it was a devastating blow. This singular failure had nearly driven him into isolation.
A once-revered demigod, now seen as a defeated man of little relevance? The contrast was unimaginable.

If Orochimaru wanted to obtain the Kyuubi, he would need to break Kushina's seal.
However, the Kyuubi's seal was incredibly strong and couldn't easily be broken in a short amount of time.
The only time the seal naturally weakened was during childbirth, just as Uchiha Obito had taken advantage of Kushina's labor to unlock the seal in the original timeline.
But the truth was, after spending so much time with Kushina, Orochimaru's knowledge of sealing techniques had advanced...

Nevada, Stone House.
A camouflage-colored military helicopter descended, its roaring blades churning up gusts of wind and scattering dust as it landed. The peaceful quiet of this ordinary, sleepy town was abruptly broken, just like the day two years ago when a meteorite fell nearby and nearly caused a forest fire.
Lieutenant General Sam Lane stepped out of the helicopter, the noise of the propellers still ringing in the air. The gusts kicked up by the blades stirred sand and dus...

The Suicide Slum.
In a dimly lit basement, a single bulb hung overhead, its weak light unable to reach the shadowy corners. Scattered across the room were broken radios, old discs, and various machinery, once collected by the owner but now damaged and completely worthless.
Slade Wilson calmly donned his iconic two-tone mask, half orange and half black.
He had discarded the name his and embraced his new identity.

Ethan had found his own direction for the future, though he had yet to fully grasp it. He was working hard to move forward.
As for Helena… she would need not only effort but also a bit of luck.
"I wish you success."
What else could he say? Ethan didn't know her well enough to offer advice, so he simply gave her a casual blessing. Without further words, he withdrew his hand holding the magic stone.

He wanted to question Ethan, what kind of energy was this? But Ethan paid him no mind. As the energy on the longsword peaked, Ethan swung it downward, releasing the energy in a golden beam of light that shot straight toward Wilson.

Here, Aegor met the papermaking siblings. Well, calling them "papermaking siblings" might not be the best way to describe them. To be precise, they were Neil and Nina, a brother and sister from Rosby.
That's right, they didn't have a surname. They were simply "Neil and Nina of Rosby." Tyrion had previously explained to Aegor that most commoners in Westeros didn't have surnames and usually introduced themselves as "son of so-and-so," "daughter of so-and-so," or "so-and-so from such-and-...
