Chapter 180: Anthony Arrives

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

Yang Liang, the head of Zhongxia Comics Company in Ninghai, was walking left and right at the exit, looking panicked.

"Why haven't Duke Anthony come out yet? No accident will happen?"

He thought with concern, 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 can he leave!"

"I don't know this..." 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. Zhongxia Company invited Duke Anthony to come over to deal with He Xi, but the Duke obviously had his own ideas, so he ignored Zhongxia at all.

"Forget it, go and look for it."

Yang Liang shook his head. No matter what, Duke Anthony was too sensitive. If any accident occurred, Zhongxia would be in trouble.

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

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

Behind Anthony was a blond woman over fifty years old, with a respectful look. This woman was Anthony's housekeeper and maid. She originally wanted to call her Lord Duke, but in order to avoid discovering passers-by, she used the word "Master".

There were also a few casual white bodyguards following behind, who were tall. However, when walking on the street, except for the occasional glance, they did not cause a big reaction from others.

"The capital of immigration, Ninghai, is true."

Anthony sighed that in addition to Chinese people, there were also some white and black people on the street, and some shop owners were white. People in this city seemed to be accustomed to other skin colors. If Anthony hadn't been with a few bodyguards around him, perhaps no one would have paid attention to them.

"Anne. I'm not tired." Anthony ordered the blonde woman: "You check where there are bookshops nearby, I'm going to check it out."

"Okay, lord..." Annie replied in standard Chinese. She dialed a phone on her cell phone. After a few minutes, a map intelligence was passed to her.

"Please go here." Anne skillfully led Anthony. They didn't take two steps. Anthony suddenly stopped and his eyes were attracted by the poster sticking to the glass door of a cake shop.

——Sales of tens of millions, not to be missed. The hardcover version of "Five Centimeters in Seconds" will be released soon—

This is the title of the poster. Below the title is a scene of a cherry tree blooming, with petals flying, a man and a woman standing on both sides, facing each other, full of unspeakable beauty and sadness.

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

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

He Xi is his target this time. Unexpectedly, in addition to drawing detective comics, he is also good at love comics...

"Sales in tens of millions." Anne noticed the numbers on the poster and couldn't help but exclaim: "God, his comic sales have reached this level, and the U.S. Honor of Ender has to lose to him."

"No……"

Anthony shook his head.

"The population base of China is different. The sales volume of tens of millions is equivalent to our sales volume of millions, and there is no comparison." His eyes flashed and he said, "Besides, Ende is also good at sports and music. He is the idol of our young people. He should be better than He cherishes."

"There are few people in the world who can do the same thing as Ander." 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 clerk, but the other party was surprised: "You want to buy all the works of Mr. He Xi, as well as the "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" journals that have not yet been released? I'm sorry... we don't have so many books."

The book seller was so dizzy that He Xi's works have always been best-selling, and Ninghai's supply is the best, but no bookstore can come up with He Xi's suit to sell. This time the customer's requirements were too high.

"You want all the comic books, we can collect them from partners." The sales clerk calmed down and thought for a while and replied: "But we are really powerless to do anything about "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girls".

After CCTV News was broadcast, He Xi's comics were printed in single-line versions. Although Jiayuan Bookstore was not complete, it could be transferred from other channels. Unfortunately, the two comics weekly magazines did not have the preferential treatment for printing, and they were completely gone after they were sold out.

"Master, what should I do?"

Annie turned to ask Anthony.

"I bought a single book. If you ask someone to find two magazines, how many can you find a single book?" Anthony didn't care and asked, "Do you have any single book of "Detective Sherlock"?"

This time the sales clerk's eyes lit up: "There are all this, old man, "The Detective Sherlock" just finished yesterday. Do you want to buy a set?"

"Okay." Anthony nodded: "Prepare a set for me."

"No problem..." The book sales clerk was excited. Although the old man's request was strange, he was generous. He Xi's complete set of works and "Detective Sherlock" had nearly 2,000 Chinese coins in total.

"Wait a moment, I'll arrange it for you to the VIP area..." The sales clerk did not dare to neglect and said, "You can have tea there first. We will mobilize Teacher He Xi's single book 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, Anne asked in confusion.

"You came to Ninghai to see He Xi's truth and truth, Master... Why don't you rely on Zhongxia Company for help? As long as you say it, they will definitely prepare everything, so why do you do it yourself?"

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

"I believe in the results of my investigation than the information given to me by others."

While answering, Anthony took out the comic "Detective Sherlock".

Zhongxia Company has other intentions. Anthony does not want to rely on the information they provide, as it will easily affect judgment.

He looked at "Detective Sherlock" silently. As the original novel, Anthony heard that it was defeated and had never been interested in reading the comic version, but this time he saw it, he made an unexpected discovery.

“This comic is good…”

The comics of "Detective Sherlock" are not as bad as imagined. On the contrary, their painting skills are very good, the original story is cold, but the comic style is bright, which is more suitable for market sales.

Such a comic actually lost to He Xi, who just debuted?

"Maybe I still underestimate him..."

Anthony thought, and at this moment, Anne's voice was a little surprised: "Duke...ah, no, lord, look at the poster on the wall!"

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

Anthony looked up and found it was a poster of a boy. As a Westerner, Anthony felt that it was 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 it. I finally understand why they use jade to describe men." He exclaimed: "That's the Chinese star, right? His face is very delicate."

It was a unique sense of exquisiteness among orientals. In Anthony's opinion, the boy on the poster had a bit of mysterious and elegant temperament, but that's all...

"What's strange about that poster?" He looked at it twice, not finding anything special: "Isn't it just a celebrity poster?"

It is very normal for celebrities to appear in bookstores. Many books rely on celebrity promotion. Anthony doesn’t know why Anne makes a fuss.

"No, Master..." Annie swallowed: "There is no label on this poster, it was taken secretly. I just heard other guests' conversations, and the boy on it is 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, frowned. He Xi was so outstanding.

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