In the early hours of the morning, the first airport in Ninghai was filled with fog.

Yang Liang, the person in charge of Zhongxia Comics Company in Ninghai, was pacing left and right at the exit, looking flustered.

"Why hasn't Duke Anthony come out yet? There won't be any surprises, right? ”

He thought worriedly, and a secretary rushed in: "Minister, minister, I have just received news that His Excellency the Duke has left the airport. ”

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

"I don't know what to say about this......" The secretary wiped his sweat: "But judging from the surveillance footage, Duke Anthony did leave the airport, and he avoided us." ”

"Why do you want to avoid us!"

After Yang Liang asked, he felt that he had asked an idiot, what a pity did Zhongxia Company invite Duke Anthony over to deal with, but the Duke obviously had his own thoughts, and he ignored Zhongxia at all.

"Forget it, go find it."

Yang Liang shook his head, no matter what, Duke Anthony's identity is too sensitive, if there is any accident, the entire Zhongxia will be in trouble.

However, at the same moment when these two people were troubled, the person concerned, Anthony, was walking on the street of Ninghai.

"Duke...... Sir, the hotel has been arranged, do you want to go back and rest for a long journey? ”

Behind Anthony was a blonde woman over half a hundred years old, with a respectful expression. This woman was Anthony's butler and maid, and she originally wanted to address His Excellency the Duke, but in order to avoid passers-by finding out, she used the word lord instead.

He was followed by several white bodyguards in civilian clothes, who were tall and tall. But when walking on the street. Except for the occasional glance. It didn't cause a big reaction from others.

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

Anthony sighed, in addition to the Chinese, you can also see some whites and blacks on the street, and even some shops are run by whites, the people of this city seem to be used to other skin colors, if it weren't for Anthony with a few bodyguards, maybe no one would pay attention to them.

"Annie. I'm not tired. Anthony instructed the blonde woman, "Look into the bookstore nearby, I'm going to check it out." ”

"Very good, sir......" Anne replied in standard Chinese, she dialed a call from her mobile phone, and within a few minutes, a map of information was passed to her.

"Please go this way." Annie skillfully led the way for Anthony, and they didn't take two steps when Anthony suddenly stopped, caught in the poster affixed to the glass door of a cake shop.

——Tens of millions of sales, not to be missed. The hardcover version of "Five Centimeters per Second" will be released soon——

This is the title of the poster. Below the title is a scene of a cherry blossom tree blooming, petals flying, and a man and a woman standing on either side, facing away from each other, full of indescribable beauty and sorrow.

"The most real and moving love comic in history, what a pity."

Looking at the sentence in the lower right corner of the picture, Anthony frowned slightly: "What's the pity? ”

It's a pity that it's the target of his coming this time, but I didn't expect him to be good at not only drawing detective comics, but also love love comics......

"Tens of millions of sales." Anne noticed the numbers on the poster and couldn't help but exclaim: "God, his comic sales have reached this level, and His Excellency Ander of America has to lose to him." ”

"No ......"

Anthony shook his head.

"The population base of China is different, and the sales of 10 million are equivalent to our million sales, and there is no comparison." His eyes flashed, and he said: "Besides, in addition to comics, Ander is also good at sports and music, he is the idol of our young people, he should be better than anything." ”

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

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

Anne asked the bookseller, who was surprised: "Why do you want to buy all of the teacher's works, as well as the "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" periodicals that have not yet been released?" I'm so sorry...... We don't have so many books. ”

The bookseller is almost dizzy, He Xi's works have always been best-selling, and Ninghai's supply is the best, but no bookstore can take He Xi's set out to sell, this time the customer's requirements are too high.

"You want all the manga books, and we can collect them from our partners." The bookseller calmed down, thought for a moment and replied, "But "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl", we really can't do anything. ”

After the CCTV news was broadcast, He Xi's comic book was reprinted, although Jiayuan Bookstore was not complete, but it could be transferred from other channels. It's a pity that the two comic magazines don't have the preferential treatment of reprinting, and they are completely gone when they are sold out.

"Master, what should I do?"

Anne turned to ask Anthony.

"Buy a single book, you can ask people to find two magazines, and how many can be found count." Anthony didn't care, looked up and asked, "Do you have a single copy of "Sherlock"?" ”

This time, the bookseller's eyes lit up: "This is all there, old man, "Sherlock" just finished yesterday, do you want to buy all of them?" ”

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

"No problem......" The bookseller was excited, although this old man's request was strange, but he was generous, what a pity The full set of works plus the full set of "Sherlock" totaled nearly two thousand Chinese coins.

"Wait a minute, I'll arrange for you to be in the VIP area...... "The bookseller didn't dare to slack off, and said, "You can drink tea there first, and we will have half an hour to mobilize a single book for you." ”

She arranged for Anthony to sit down and rest in the VIP area, and after she left, Annie asked puzzled.

"You came to Ninghai to see what a pity it is, sir...... Why not rely on Zhongxia Company to help, as long as you say it, they will definitely prepare everything, why bother to do it yourself. ”

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

"I trust the results of my own investigation more than the information that others give me."

Anthony replied as he pulled out the Sherlock comics.

Zhongxia Company has other plans, and Anthony does not want to rely on the information they provide, which can easily affect judgment.

He watched "Sherlock" silently, as the original novel, Anthony had not been interested in watching the comic book version since he heard that it had been defeated, but this time, he made an unexpected discovery.

"This comic is good......

The comics of "Sherlock" are not as bad as imagined, on the contrary, its drawing skills are very good, the original story is colder, but the comic style is bright, which is more suitable for marketing.

Such a comic, why did it lose to the one who had just debuted?

"Maybe I'm underestimating him......"

Anthony was thinking, and at this moment, Annie's voice sounded with some surprise: "Duke...... Ah, no, sir, look at the posters on the wall! ”

She reached out to the poster on the side of the VIP area.

Anthony looked up, and it was a poster of a teenager. As a Westerner, Anthony found it difficult to distinguish the details of Chinese physiognomy, but this teenager gave him a different feeling.

"A gentleman is like jade...... I see, I finally understood why they wanted to use jade to describe men. He exclaimed: "That's the star of Huaxia, right?" His face is very delicate. ”

It was a sense of sophistication peculiar to the Oriental, and in Anthony's opinion, the boy on the poster had a bit of a mysterious and elegant temperament, but nothing more......

"What's so strange about that poster?" He looked at it twice, but didn't find anything special: "Isn't it just a star poster?" ”

It's very normal for a celebrity poster to appear in a bookstore, and many books rely on celebrity publicity, and Anthony doesn't know what Annie will make a fuss about.

"No, sir......" Anne swallowed: "There is no label on this poster, it was taken secretly." I just heard the conversation of the other guests, and the boy above is what you are looking for. ”

"What's the pity?"

Anthony was stunned, he turned his head to stare at the poster on the wall, his brows furrowed, why did he look so good.

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

He became more and more interested in what he could. (To be continued......)
