Big Manga

In the early morning, Ninghai No. 1 Airport was filled with fog.

Yang Liang, the person in charge of Zhongxia Comic Company in Ninghai, paced around the exit with a flustered expression.

"Why hasn't Duke Anthony come out yet? Will there be any accidents?"

He was full of worries, and a secretary rushed over: "Minister, minister, I just got the news that His Excellency the Duke has left the airport."

"What?" Yang Liang stopped and said angrily, "Impossible, I've been staring here, how did he leave!?"

"I don't know about that..." The secretary wiped his sweat, "But from the surveillance footage, Duke Anthony did leave the airport, and he avoided us."

"Why avoid us!"

After Yang Liang asked, he felt that he had asked an idiot's question. Zhong Xia's company invited Duke Anthony over to deal with He Xi, but the Duke obviously had his own ideas, so he ignored Zhong Xia at all.

"Forget it, go find it quickly."

Yang Liang shook his head, no matter what, Duke Anthony's identity is too sensitive, if anything happens, the whole Zhongxia will be in trouble.

However, at the same moment when the two were troubled, Anthony was walking on the streets of Ninghai.

"Duke...Master, the hotel has been arranged. You have a long journey, do you want to go back and have a rest?"

Behind Anthony was a blond woman in her fifties with a respectful expression. This woman is Anthony's housekeeper and serving as a maid. She originally wanted to call him Your Excellency the Duke, but in order to avoid being discovered by passers-by, she changed to the word "Master".

There are also a few white bodyguards in casual clothes who are tall. But when walking on the street. Except for the occasional glance. It didn't cause much reaction from others.

"Ninghai, the capital of immigrants, lives up to its name."

Anthony expresses emotion, besides the Chinese people, you can also see some whites and blacks on the street, and even the operators of some shops are whites. People in this city seem to be used to other skin colors. Maybe no one will notice them.

"Annie, I'm not tired." Anthony told the blond woman, "Check out where there is a bookstore nearby. I'm going to check it out."

"OK,

Master..." Annie replied in standard Chinese, she made a call on her mobile phone, and within a few minutes, a map information was delivered to her.

"This way, please." Anne skillfully led the way for Anthony. They didn't take two steps. Anthony stopped suddenly, and his eyes were attracted by the poster pasted on the glass door of a cake shop.

——Ten million sales, not to be missed. "Five Centimeters Per Second" hardcover edition, coming soon——

This is the title of the poster. Below the title is a scene of a cherry blossom tree blooming, the petals are flying, a man and a woman stand on both sides, with their backs to each other, full of unspeakable beauty and sadness.

"The most realistic and moving love comics in history, He Xi's pinnacle work."

Looking at the sentence in the lower right corner of the screen, Anthony frowned slightly: "Why?"

He Xi is the goal of his visit this time. I didn't expect that besides drawing detective comics, he is also good at love comics...

"Ten million sales." Annie noticed the number on the poster, and couldn't help exclaiming: "God, his comic sales have reached this level. His Excellency Ender in the United States has lost to him."

"Do not……"

Anthony shook his head.

"China's population base is different. Ten million sales are equivalent to our million sales. There is no comparison." He blinked and said, "Besides, Ander is also good at sports and music in addition to comics. He is the idol of our young people. He should be better than He Xi."

"There are not many people in the world who can reach the level of Ender." Anthony turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go to the bookstore."

They found a nearby bookstore named Jiayuan, a medium-sized bookstore.

Annie asked the female book salesperson, but she was surprised: "You want to buy all the works of Teacher He Xi, as well as the "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" periodicals that have not yet been released? I'm sorry...we don't have so many books .”

The bookseller was almost dizzy. He Xi's works had always been selling well, and Ninghai had the best source of goods, but no bookstore could sell He Xi's suits. This time, the customer's requirements were too high.

"If you want all the manga booklets, we can collect them from our partners." The book salesperson calmed down, thought for a while and replied, "But "Weekly Boys" and "Weekly Girls", there is really nothing we can do."

After the news on CCTV was broadcast, He Xi's manga booklets were reprinted. Although Jiayuan Bookstore doesn't have all of them, they can transfer goods from other channels. It's a pity that the two weekly manga magazines don't have the preferential treatment for reprinting, and they will be completely gone after they are sold out.

"Master, what should we do?"

Annie turned to ask Anthony.

"Buy the booklet, and let people look for the two magazines. You can count as many copies as you can find." Anthony didn't care, and raised his head and asked, "Do you have the booklet of "Sherlock"?"

This time the bookseller's eyes lit up: "I have them all, old man, "Sherlock" was just finished yesterday, do you want to buy a whole set?"

"That's good." Anthony nodded: "You prepare a set for me."

"No problem..." The bookseller was excited. Although the old man's request was strange, he was generous. He Xi's complete set of works plus the complete set of "Detective Sherlock" totaled nearly two thousand Huaxia coins.

"Wait a minute, I'll arrange for you to go to the VIP area..." The librarian didn't dare to neglect, and said, "You can drink tea there first, and we'll collect Teacher He Xi's booklet for you in half an hour."

She arranged for Anthony and the others to sit down and rest in the VIP area. After she left, Annie asked in confusion.

"You came to Ninghai to see He Xi's reality, master...why don't you rely on the help of Zhongxia Company, as long as you tell me, they will definitely prepare everything, why bother to do it yourself."

Anthony took a sip of coffee, frowning slightly, he didn't like the taste of cheap coffee, so he put it down.

"Compared with the information given to me by others, I believe in the results of my own investigation."

While answering, Anthony took out the cartoon of "Detective Sherlock".

The Zhongxia Company had other plans, and Anthony didn't want to rely on the information they provided, which would easily affect his judgment.

He looked at "Sherlock" silently. As the original novel, Anthony hadn't been interested in reading the comic version after hearing that it had been defeated. But this time, he had an unexpected discovery.

"This comic is good..."

The comics of "Detective Sherlock" are not as bad as imagined. On the contrary, its drawing skills are very good, the original story is more grim, but the comic style tends to be brighter, which is more suitable for marketing.

Such a manga actually lost to He Xi who had just debuted back then?

"Maybe I underestimated him..."

Anthony was thinking, and at this moment, Annie's voice sounded a little surprised: "Duke... Ah, no, sir, look at the poster on the wall!"

She pointed to the poster on the side of the VIP area.

Anthony looked up, it was a poster of a teenager. As a Westerner, Anthony found it difficult to distinguish the details of Chinese people's appearance, but this boy gave him a different feeling.

"A gentleman is like jade...so that's how it is. I finally understand why they use jade to describe men." He exclaimed, "That's a Chinese star, right? His face is very delicate."

That is the unique sense of sophistication of oriental people. In Anthony's view, the boy on the poster has a mysterious and elegant temperament, but that's all...

"What's so strange about that poster?" He looked at it twice, but found nothing special: "Isn't it just a star poster?"

It is very normal for posters of celebrities to appear in bookstores. Many books rely on celebrities to promote them. Anthony doesn't know why Anne makes such a fuss.

"No, master..." Annie swallowed: "There is no label on this poster, it was photographed secretly. I heard the conversation of other guests just now, and the boy on it is the He Xi you are looking for."

"What a pity?"

Anthony was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and stared at the poster on the wall, frowning, why is he so good-looking.

"Is there really anyone in the world who can surpass Ender?"

He became more and more interested in He Xi. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
