Kaido's face broke into a smile, and Kakashi followed suit.
The whole private room was filled with a joyful atmosphere, with Jack even calling for a bottle of wine worth 18 million Berries.
It was a type of wine that could nourish the body, strengthening it and healing internal injuries to a significant extent.
Kakashi, relying on the drinking culture taught to him by Lord Raijin, observed that after three rounds of drinks, Kaido's face was already flushed.

Charlotte Linlin and Kaido went their separate ways, with Charlotte losing interest in lingering around Dressrosa any longer.
Even though Dressrosa had introduced many new sweets from other regions, seeing Kaido made her feel nauseous.
She wasn't sure what Kaido was doing there, but even though he said he wasn't after the Lineage Factor, she knew he had another agenda.
"Bring Katakuri to me!" Charlotte Linlin snapped at Perospero, who was standing beside her.

The actions taken by Uchiha Tetsuka had already reached the ears of the Hyuga clan's branch families. However, after learning about it, they remained indifferent, choosing not to help Hyuga Hiashi. They had already tasted the scent of freedom and had no intention of returning to be caged birds.
The strict rules of the Hyuga clan were their biggest obstacle, and Hiashi often contacted them in private. They were unable to resist Hiashi due to the cage bird seal. Now that Hiashi had...

Raijin's words stunned Shizune for a moment.
The Uchiha clan and Lord Raijin are closely connected?
Suddenly, she understood everything Raijin had done regarding the Uchiha.
Everything was an effort to make the Uchiha clan stronger, even at any cost.
He even treated members of the Uchiha as breeding stock to expand the family lineage.
But in Tsunade and Shizune's eyes, the Uchiha are already strong enough now.
They could even take a group...

Uchiha Raijin was momentarily taken aback, feeling that Shizune seemed a bit too excited.
Raijin waved his hand, and a maid quickly approached with tea.
Previously, the number of people in Dressrosa had indeed been quite large, and there were some complexities.
After driving Tsunade away, Shizune had successfully submitted to Dressrosa, but Raijin treated her as just an ordinary medical ninja.
He even almost had Shizune solely check for pregnancy cases; as for o...

Miles Anderson was feeling a bit dejected.
Since childhood, he had studied classical music, specializing in the cello. He had achieved modest success in the classical music world, winning some competitions and even performing on the stage of Carnegie Hall. Though not the best of the best, he had a promising future with a visible path in the classical music field.

Of course, this didn’t mean the competition was over, but before the next round began, agents needed to gather information. Only by collecting enough details to assess the situation could they formulate new strategies and sprint towards the goal.

A plunge into love.
So much so that she started to get distracted. The line between reality and illusion completely blurred, and then, the dialogue left a blank—a long, empty blank.
The next line was supposed to be Mary Jane’s.
The reason was simple: Peter Parker had a crush on Mary Jane. Every moment they spent togethe...

Unexpectedly, Kate's performance during the screen test was nothing short of a disaster, making it almost unbearable to watch.
The surprise, however, was that this unexpected situation instead highlighted Anson’s performance, steering the entire screen test in a different direction.

Clearly, Kate did not read the script carefully.
Or perhaps, she simply read it without truly understanding the context behind the dialogue, and naturally, she didn’t grasp the relationships between the characters.
The foundation of acting is a state of emotion; if you can't understand the context, there's no sense of immersion, and the performance lacks a solid base.
This is exactly what we see here.
Kate turned around, without any mix of embarrassment or joy...

In the United States, college tuition is expensive. Many kids from average families who attend college often apply for student loans, much like car or mortgage loans, to finance their education. They then gradually repay the loans after graduation once they start working, with many not being free from debt until after they turn 30.
As a result, some kids from impoverished families opt to enter the workforce right after high school instead of attending college.

*Chapter 216: Screen Test*
A screen test, as the name suggests, is an audition that takes place on camera.
In independent films, such tests are rare, but they do occur occasionally. However, in big-budget commercial films, screen tests are quite common and often an unavoidable step on the path to securing a role.
A screen test requires the actor to be fully prepared in terms of costume, styling, and makeup, just like in an actual shoot, and to perform in front of th...

At the end of the 18th century, the French Revolution and its profound impact across Europe led to a dramatic shift in people's demands for recreational dance styles. The once-popular minuet and gavotte were phased out due to their rigid and formal styles, making way for the relaxed and natural waltz.
Of course, the waltz faced strong opposition. Groups with different goals and interests criticized this new trend. The church deemed the waltz immoral and uncivilized due to the clo...
