*Chapter 14: Tony's Savior?*

The Gulfstream private jet soared through the blue sky.

Before someone had crossed over, this thing was hyped up to no end. The plane itself was expensive, but renting it barely cost over six figures in U.S. dollars per day. Uh, as an old customer, it even came with the limited-time privilege of having flight attendants at your service.

Explosive music roared inside the cabin, neon lights flashed constantly, and well-shaped flight attendants swayed as they carried champagn...

Chapter 13: Off on Vacation!

Luck is also a part of one's strength.

If I,Atreus, have the skill to pick up Wonder Woman, why can’t I fantasize about her being like a fish in my own pond?

I refuse to accept it!

I may not be able to be like the male lead in the Wonder Woman story who becomes her sidekick, but now that the system module is activated, I’ll push forward!

Diana promised that unless she was in dire need, she wouldn’t take back the power she lent me.

That’s recognitio...

Chapter 12: I Am the Man You Can’t Have

That morning, Atreus dismissed most of the security personnel.

 Since they were hired on a daily contract and the money had been paid, there wasn’t much to discuss.

 However, the few bodyguards, including Louis, who continued to serve as security, looked at Atreus with str4nge eyes.

 Was it just a coincidence?

 The spy girl who had caused trouble last night whimpered through the night, obviously subdued by Atreus, and then the Black Mask group was...

Chapter 11: Blood Money**

Colleagues are enemies, and Gotham City is full of straightforward citizens, with gang leaders as numerous as the stars. There are over a dozen massive, well-known crime families, but none have ever managed to unify Gotham's underworld for long.

As a traditional local family, many forces want to eliminate Sionis’s power.

With fewer families sharing the pie, each remaining family gets a bigger slice. Nothing much to say about that.

The key issue is the name "Atreus,"...

Chapter 10: Killers Reap the Rewards

"Huff, huff, huff—" Atreus exhaled heavily.

His heart was racing.

That was so risky!

Now that the dust had settled, he suddenly felt a pang of fear.

Am I crazy for going after a Boss right after getting my powers?

After a brief hesitation, his gaze grew firm again. This time, he started trembling—not out of fear, but from a growing sense of excitement.

This is a world where DC and Marvel are mixed together. Even if the Flash suddenly appeared, cl...

Chapter 9: The Clown Returns!?

At 4 a.m., a light rain fell from the sky. The cold night wind swept through a dark, lifeless alley beside the Black Mask Club. The broken streetlight at the alley's entrance made its usual irritating creaking sound as the half-broken lampshade swayed.

It was early autumn, and the combination of the cold air and rain had made the two raincoat-wearing guards at the club’s back door drowsy.

Even though their boss had ordered them to keep watch, they really didn’t see the ...

*Chapter 8: A Good Citizen Who Abides by the Law*

On Atreus's retinal display, the light flickered.

Wonder Woman didn't say anything, but the system helpfully marked a profit curve for him. It was clear that the later he acted, the less reward he would receive for taking out the villainous boss. The longer he waited, the worse the payoff would be.

Diana wasn’t trying to make things difficult for Atreus; she had crossed time and space to Gotham in search of help. Saving lives was urgent—if delayed, she feared there migh...

*Chapter 7: The Godslayer System*

Who is Ares?

In terms of strength, maybe he’s not too bad.

But don’t forget, he’s the jerk god who wears the "Bored! I want to see rivers of blood!" expression all day.

According to the history of the DC universe, Ares was the mastermind behind World War I.

Not only did he cause chaos, but he’s never been known to have any followers. A god who trusts no one but himself and is incredibly stingy—Atreus would have to be blind to trust him at all. ...

*Chapter 6: The Choice of Destiny*

A covert operation using special techniques could only be carried out at noon—any other time, and something was bound to go wrong.

Atreus's hand was steady as he used a dagger to cut through the hyper-realistic biological material covering the Black Canary’s neck, peeling off her mask. When her face was revealed, a beauty no less striking than Miss Anna’s, the killing intent in the air seemed to intensify.

If this had been a few days earlier, Atreus probably wouldn't ...

Chapter 5: Stealth Infiltration

The bodyguards were speechless. The bodies were a mess of blue and purple bruises, completely unrecognizable.

Fragmentation grenades weren't large bombs; their damage was more of a slicing nature. The mixed flesh and blood combined with the Joker g4ng's paint, creating a truly colorful scene.

For a moment, they wondered if their boss had some peculiar fetish.

But the next second, when Atreus saw the state of the bodies, he retched.

This reaction made Louis and t...

Chapter 4: One Shot, One Down

At this moment, Atreus was stunned. It took him half a second to realize that Louis was shouting "RPG"!

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, the SUV with two bodyguards in front was like a flying matchbox, turning into a burning iron box in the air, spinning twice, and crashing into an abandoned phone booth on the side of the road.

Sparks and debris flew everywhere.

It wasn't that the other party was so accurate, at least five RPG rockets were fired just now, five ou...

Chapter 3: No Unexpected Surprises

The pleasures of the rich are unimaginable to ordinary people. The reverse is also true.

Last night, he picked up a woman in front of his bodyguards, the housekeeper, and the maids. There was no hiding it.

And today?

Louie and the other bodyguard didn't say anything, but their str4nge expressions were asking:

"Are you going to dump the body in the ocean?"

"Is the boss going to have sex with her and then kill her?"

"You used to just fool around, but n...

Chapter 1-2: Picking Up a Female Hero

"Ch4nge a batch!"

"Alright!" The nightclub owner looked at Atreus and gave a flattering smile.

Soon, a group of giggling, flamboyant girls came to the booth.

Atreus casually picked two good-looking ones to sit down

As he approached the women, Atreus could feel their eyes on him. He exuded an air of irresistible magnetism that drew people in. The women, both in their early 20s, were clearly captivated by his presence.

"Ladies, may I buy you a drink?" Atreus...

*Chapter 240: Tour Plan*

"Richard, how long will it take to finish filming this movie?" Andy asked over the phone.

"If everything goes smoothly, we can wrap up by mid-August. If not, we might have to push it to September," Richard replied, scratching his forehead and taking a sip of water.

"Alright, to be on the safe side, how about we schedule the matches for mid-September and October? You'll need some time to train before the fight," Andy suggested.

"That works, but won't delaying the match...

*Chapter 239: Numb from Acting*

After some discussion, the crew decided to proceed with the original script for the shoot.

Richard supported this decision, as changing the script would have had significant implications.

With some luck, the box office might do better; without it, the results could be disastrous, potentially affecting future installments of the series.

He didn’t want to rely on unpredictable luck, so sticking to the plan seemed like the best approach.

Over the next few days, t...

*Chapter 238: Learning to Reconcile with Opponents*

In early June, Richard arrived in Marseille.

Marseille is in southern France, near the Mediterranean Sea. The opening scene of the film features a group of fishermen in the Mediterranean encountering Bourne, who is floating on the sea.

After being rescued, Bourne, having lost his memory, lived with the fishermen on the boat for a while before coming ashore to investigate the question, "Who am I?"

"Hey, Richard!"

Outside the production office in Marseille, Richar...

*Chapter 237: It Really Feels Good*

"Hey, Richard!"

Someone called from downstairs.

"Scarlett, I'm here!"

Since the car accident last time, Scarlett often came over to visit. She lived in an apartment near Beverly Park, so it wasn't far.

Thump, thump~ Scarlett Johansson ran upstairs, wearing a tank top and tight pants, her golden hair flowing loose, her cheeks flushed, looking vibrant and lively.

"Richard, why are you lying here alone?"

"How many people do you expect me to be with?" 2024-09-12 05:43:14 +0000 UTC View Post

*Chapter 236: Talking About Money Again Hurts Feelings*

The sun was shining brightly on the hillside villa.

In the coffee room on the second floor, Richard was chatting with Jude Law, who had dropped by for a visit.

“Richard, you’re all over the place these days. I can’t pick up a newspaper without seeing news about you,” Jude Law said with a smile, leaning back with his legs crossed, smoking a cigar, and gazing out at downtown Los Angeles.

“It’s not that big of a deal. It’s mainly because the boxing match pr...

*Chapter 415: The Baby in Paris*

Although Link also wanted to become an A-list actor soon, this trip didn't offer much of a chance.

Due to its theme, "Midnight in Paris" was invited by the Cannes Film Festival organizers to be the opening film. It wasn't Woody Allen who proactively sought to participate in the festival awards.

For a director, being invited by the Cannes Film Festival to screen their film at the opening ceremony is a form of recognition and honor, almost as prestigious as winning the Palme ...

### Chapter 414: Cannes

“Damn it! This bastard is trending again.”

In a smoky bar in New York, singer Chris Brown looked at the news on his phone, cursing.

“Who? Link? I haven’t heard about him in a while. What’s he done now?”

50 Cent, with his legs up on a marble table and a beer bottle resting on his thigh, asked casually.

“See for yourself!”

Chris Brown shoved his phone in front of 50 Cent. Lil Wayne, T.I., and Drake also put down their drinks to take a look. I...

### Chapter 413: Box Office Fraud and Pregnancy

“Haha, Link, congratulations! The movie you invested in is another big hit. What's your next film? I want to invest with you.”

At the global box office party for "Bridesmaids" hosted by Palm Beach Pictures, David Ellison patted Link on the shoulder and spoke warmly.

“Moneyball, didn’t you invest in that too?”

Link smiled. Hearing David attribute the film's success to him, he didn’t downplay it. Having the reputation of a 'shrewd film investor' in Hollywood...

*Chapter 412: The Public Opinion Offensive*

"Alright, you go ahead and work. I'll wait for you to come back so we can have dinner together."

After hanging up the phone, Link browsed through the news on his tablet. He noticed a flood of negative reviews on professional movie websites like "Entertainment Online" and others. Over a dozen well-known film critics publicly disparaged "Bridesmaids."

Some criticized the awkward plot, saying it wasn't suitable for normal viewers. Others said the main character was unlikable o...

Chapter 411: Retaliation and Audition

Harvey was, of course, angry about the poor box office performance, very angry. In his rage, he smashed two ashtrays and three floor tiles, and was even cut on the forehead by a flying shard, which made him even angrier.

Harvey sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, letting his busty secretary bandage his forehead.

When his brother Bob came in, he continued to curse Link. The movie "Bridesmaids," invested in by Link, was a low-budget follow-up film with no big stars and no sig...

*Chapter 12: Too Much Work, But I'll Take It If She’s Willing*

"I was wondering why the art style looked so familiar, with more depth and softness. Turns out it's the 'Kingtan' style," said Oda Shingo, smiling awkwardly.

"There's always some troublemaker trying to mess with me! The system keeps pushing me to draw explicit content, and now they've sent me a professional in that field."

"Maybe if I have her draw explicit content, we’ll make money faster?"

"Kingtan?" Wavestyle Yuzuru looked confused.

"Ah, it’s nothing," Od...

*Chapter 195: The Cruel Reality of the Old Outliving the Young*

Hiruzen Sarutobi had already prepared himself for a significant sacrifice today. Facing such a formidable opponent, failing to put forth everything would be disrespectful.

However, if they could capture this monster and study its abilities, particularly the way it manipulates those strange fluctuations, the benefits for Konoha could be enormous. They might even create a being as powerful as Newgate.

Even if they can't figure out much, they could hand it over to Danzo for cl...

*Chapter 194: Marco Takes the Hit and Dies*

At Sarutobi Hiruzen's command, more than twenty ninjas rushed out.

They stood in a strange formation, moving with seamless coordination.

In an instant, they formed seals.

The next moment!

A crimson barrier suddenly rose up.

It directly enclosed Whitebeard within it.

Whitebeard looked at the barrier in front of him. Wasn't this the same as before?

But this barrier seemed to have decent defensive power; it probably couldn't be destroyed as easily...

*Chapter 193: Daytime Tiger vs. Tremor-Tremor Fruit*

The frail body of a ninja allowed Whitebeard to see the strengths and weaknesses between two different fighting systems.

Ninjas possess various diverse abilities, even abilities that are similar to those of Devil Fruits. However, they always seem to lack certain means in their hands, and although the destructive power of their ninjutsu is astounding, it is nothing more than scratching an itch in front of a truly powerful warrior on the sea.

In fact, if they had the intentio...

*Chapter 192: Might Guy, Come Be My Son*

The downfall of the Senju clan completely benefited the smaller clans within Konoha. The smaller clans of Konoha were able to thrive by leeching off the Senju clan.

Particularly, the Sarutobi clan, which was his final trump card.

The backbone of Konoha, which he personally nurtured, consisted of the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio was renowned even during the Warring States period! Additionally, the Nara clan was smart enough to know who their m...

Chapter 191: Has the Village Emptied?

In front of the Sharingan, White Zetsu's movements seemed to be in slow motion.

Even now, Kakashi, with his heightened sensory abilities, could perceive everything around him.

Obito's body was flung away, and several White Zetsu clones rushed to embrace him. They couldn't believe that the once invincible Obito could be so easily defeated by Kakashi. It even seemed like Kakashi had completely mastered Kamui, Obito's eye technique.

This guy seemed like a different per...

*Chapter 290: Boldly Let Go*

What?

Kristen and Anson exchanged glances, their eyes full of question marks. The situation had taken an entirely unexpected turn—were they missing a few steps in between?

So, was this a good thing?

A high-difficulty scene had been successfully completed. They should be high-fiving in celebration—if the director said it was fine, then it was fine. The director's word is final. But from another perspective, was it really? Are they sure this was the best it could be...
