My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

At this time, Penghui heard that it was this person who tripped her on purpose and reacted immediately.

No wonder I felt like I was tripped by something when I was holding the coffee just now. It turned out that this person did it.

"You bastard, I just tripped the girl by accident. How can you say I did it on purpose? Besides, this painting was clearly drawn by me! How can you say it's not the original?!"

After hearing Naoto's words, Qinkou Santori started to speak incoherently, and his words almost didn't flow through his brain.

"Really? It seems you don't know that Mr. Yuankou's works all have a strong personal imprint. Although this manuscript is not very complete and a little sloppy, it can still be vaguely seen. Moreover, is it the original manuscript? Should we wait a few more days to see if his work will be updated on time?"

At this point, the three birds of Qinkou knew that they had hit a wall today. If this continued, they would be the ones to suffer.

"You stole someone else's drawings and deliberately came to my friend's shop to cause trouble? I think I need to make you realize who you have offended."

"Who the hell are you?"

"You come here to cause trouble, and you don't even know who I am? Listen carefully, I am ONE!"

Chapter 195: Someone with a grudge

"Who the hell are you, kid?!"

Someone who was already furious at this time asked Naoto loudly.

He was clearly only one step away from achieving his goal, but who would have thought that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear halfway and ruin his plan.

"Me? Who am I? I am ONE."

In response to Qinkou Santori's questioning, Naoto just said lightly.

"You said you are ONE? Stop kidding, a little brat like you dare to say you are ONE?"

As for Naoto's claim that he was ONE, Qinkou Santori instinctively didn't believe it. Apart from the fact that Naoto came out this time and disguised himself, Qinkou Santori instinctively didn't believe it.

In his opinion, the stores frequented by the genius cartoonist ONE were all just gimmicks. In fact, ONE had probably only been there a few times, but the store owners simply gave it the title of a store frequented by ONE.

If there are indeed people who frequent the place, there is no reason why other people online wouldn't be exposed.

Moreover, even if ONE came to this store, it was not such a coincidence that I just happened to encounter it, right? How could such an unlucky thing happen to me?

"Sir, I don't think I have any reason to explain anything to you. Believe it or not, if you don't get out of here, I'm really going to call the police."

"cut!"

Seeing that Zhiren was really going to call the police, Qinkou Santori didn't hesitate and ran away, not even taking the manuscript on the table. He just pushed through the crowd and left the scene.

"Hey! You're just running away like that?! Stop right there!"

Seeing that Qinkou was trying to escape, Peng Hui hurriedly tried to stop him.

But Sakuta grabbed Tomoe at this moment and stopped her from chasing after him.

"Senior! Why…"

"It's useless, Tomoe. It's useless for you to go up there. Naoto was just trying to scare him."

"frighten?"

Tomoe looked at Sakuta and Naoto in confusion. Why did these two people just say that they were just trying to scare him?

"Because even if we call the police, the most they can do is arrest him for causing trouble. Although the surveillance cameras can capture what happened, it's too easy for that guy to quibble."

"So let's just leave it at that for now, Naoto. Thank you very much for this time."

"No way, be careful. There might be something wrong with that person just now. He might come back to cause trouble again."

In Sakuta's silence, Naoto returned to his seat.

At this time, Nan Zi had already eaten most of his food.

"solved?"

"Well, it's solved, but that guy also ran away."

"Do you want me to fix it?"

"No, aren't we out on a date today? Let's forget about that. By the way, where are we going today?"

"Let's go to the movies. There seems to be a very good movie coming out recently."

The three birds of Qinkou that ran out of the store finally stopped after running for about a dozen intersections.

"Tsk, what bad luck! I failed today and even lost the manuscript I got from Yuankou. What should I do now?"

Qin Kou lit a cigarette in the corner of the intersection at this time and took a puff with a worried look on his face.

Originally, I was unemployed and wanted to make some money with the manuscript I stole from Yuankou, but I didn't expect to encounter this incident.

This is not the first or second time that Qinkou has stolen manuscripts.

In fact, it is very normal for cartoonists to have rejected drafts. For example, due to picture modifications and various strange reasons, too many drafts are rejected.

These unfinished manuscripts are usually either collected by the authors themselves or thrown away as trash.

Of course, it is not ruled out that these scrapped drafts may sometimes even be thrown into the setting drawings.

This is also the reason why there are always some unpublished manuscripts circulating on the Internet.

In the past, Qin Kou often stole other cartoonists' manuscripts. For example, he had worked in the studios of three cartoonists before, but he was usually fired within half a year, and the reason was basically because of stealing the discarded manuscripts.

The scrapped manuscripts would be secretly taken out and given to others for slight polishing before being directly submitted to fan exhibitions as fan comics.

Qinkou also made a lot of money because of this.

And because Qinkou was relatively secretive, even if the previous cartoonists knew that someone had taken the scrapped manuscripts, they didn't know who it was. And the authors themselves didn't care much about it, so they simply replaced a group of assistants.

That’s why he was able to change cartoonists again and again and still get away with it.

But who could have thought that an accident would happen at Yuankou this time.

When he took the manuscript away, Yuankou saw it with his own eyes.

Fortunately, Yuankou was a sentimental guy and simply fired him. Otherwise, he would be in jail now and be fed by the government.

Although he was not reported this time, it also meant that he could no longer be an assistant in the JUMP comics circle.

"Tsk, I really lost everything this time. Not only did I not get any money, but I also lost a manuscript. Alas, there aren't many manuscripts left."

Looking at the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, Qin Kou gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.

At this time, Qin Kou picked up his mobile phone and dialed an unknown number.

Accompanied by a beep, a stranger's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, isn't this Qin Kou? What do you want to do this time?"

Hearing the voice of the person on the phone, Qin Kou instinctively felt a little disgusted.

If it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't have to suffer all this today.

"Brother Fatty, well, I have a few manuscripts that I want to publish, I wonder if you are interested?"

"Oh? Great, kid. You actually have some scraps. Tell me, what are they?"

"There are also three articles on Magic Armor Alpha, two articles on Love Witch, and three articles on Sunday."

Facing the owner of the phone, Qin Kou could only tell him what was in his hand.

But it seemed that after hearing what Qin Kou said, this person lost interest.

"Brother, your comics are not very good. Not to mention the ones you have now, only Weekend is still serialized, and the rest are either discontinued or finished. They don't make much sense. If this is all you have, then I have no choice but to leave."

Facing this man's words, Qin Kou knew that this was his last chance. He was very short of money and had to sell what he had.

"No, I actually have an unfinished manuscript of 'Bloodline' here, I wonder if you..."

"Blood clan?! Is that what you are talking about?"

"Yes, that's it."

After hearing Qin Kou's words, the person behind him finally became interested.

Chapter 196: Development in the Gray Area

"Mr. Beichuan, Qinkou has arrived. Do you want to go out and meet him?"

"Just wait a moment."

In an inconspicuous little shop, a man named Beichuan was sitting on the sofa, and next to him stood several staff members in suits.

Since when, a gray industrial chain has been formed by buying and selling waste manuscripts and turning them into fan comics.

In this industry chain, there are many cartoonists who work to make a living, or people like Qin Kou who steal manuscripts.

These scrapped drafts are taken out and handed over to professional artists for revision, and finally turned into high-end comics to be sold at fan exhibitions. This is a common occurrence at fan exhibitions.

And because such fan books are of extremely high quality, they can often be sold at a very good price.

Although there will be a lot of trouble after being exposed, many people still flock to it.

This inconspicuous shop is currently the largest waste manuscript recycler in Tokyo. About two-thirds of the waste manuscripts in Tokyo are sent to this place.

At this time, the man called Beichuan was constantly looking at Qinkou, who was sitting uncomfortably in the chair, through the camera installed in the room.

"Mr. Beichuan, do you really think that Qin Kou has the unfinished manuscript of "Blood Clan"? So far, he has never produced any unfinished manuscript."

The person standing next to Beichuan at this time asked Beichuan softly.

You should know that Naoto is currently the most popular cartoonist, but none of the manuscripts of his works have been leaked.

Even the Bloodline, which was completed first, has not had a single page of wasted draft so far.

Moreover, even the completed comics are still extremely popular and don’t seem like completed comics at all.

I guess only people of Dead Fire Sea's level can get such treatment.

Nowadays, the manuscripts of Naoto's comics are completely out of stock and cannot be bought even if you want to. It is hard to imagine how this person named Qinkou got this thing.

"It can't be possible that the guy drew it himself to cheat people out of money, right?"

Thinking of that guy from Qinkou, this seems to be the only possibility now.

"It's unlikely. After all, Mr. ONE's paintings have a very strong personal style. If Qin Kou really has the level to imitate Mr. ONE, he wouldn't be an unknown assistant now."

"Then how did he get the manuscript?"

"I guess the only way to get this information is from Master Yuankou. It is said that Master Yuankou is the eldest disciple of Master ONE."

After hearing what Beichuan said, the subordinates beside him understood a little.

"I see, Mr. Kitagawa. I think I understand. It's probably because Mr. Yuankou has a good relationship with Mr. ONE, so he happened to get Mr. ONE's manuscript, and then it was stolen by this guy?"

"That's probably the case, but he stole ONE's manuscript. This is also a hot potato. It's hard to imagine that after learning about this, Yuankou teacher will not go after this guy."

"Then let's..."

"Forget it, let's just go and see the good stuff. After all, I haven't seen ONE teacher's waste manuscript yet."

"Tsk~ Why hasn't this fat guy come yet? Is he trying to tease me?"

Qin Kou, who had been sitting in the room for nearly half an hour, stared at the door with a grim expression.

If possible, he definitely didn't want to come here.

But now he is helpless. The debt he owes from gambling has to be repaid soon. If he continues like this, those loan sharks will definitely take his life.

Rather than facing the mafia who were dressed in black and wanted to kill you at any time, he chose to face this fat man.

Although in his eyes, this fat man's heart is also black, pure black.

If he hadn't learned from this person that Naoto often went to that store, he wouldn't have gone there to try his luck today.

In fact, Qinkou's original plan was to meet Naoto by chance and then see if he could become an assistant from Naoto.

After all, among cartoonists nowadays, Naoto is the most popular one.

If I could get a manuscript from Naoto, I would be really successful.

But who told Zhiren to never use an assistant when painting? Qinkou waited every day during this period, but he didn't find anyone who looked like Zhiren.

The day to repay the money was about to come, but this fat man came up with another evil idea and wanted to blackmail him.

Qinkou originally refused, but when he heard that the girlfriend of the store clerk was the famous Sakurajima Mai, and that she was also Naoto's classmate.

He then began to have evil thoughts.
