#415 - Album (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)

Over the past year, Azelia received three letters from Thunderbird. The first was a month after he escaped, when he wrote to inquire about the situation and asked for detailed information about the Ministry of Magic and Anduin.

He was particularly concerned about how Anduin and others were able to find him, but the Ministry of Magic's high-level officials deliberately concealed the fact that Anduin could track him through his mask, keeping it a closely guarded secret.

So, at Anduin's suggestion, Azelia made up a reason to deceive him, while also asking about his future plans and whereabouts.

However, despite his escape, Thunderbird remained arrogant and unwilling to reveal much about himself, only instructing Azelia to continue her undercover work in subsequent letters.

But in his last letter, Thunderbird suddenly issued a new order.

Thunderbird specifically asked Azelia about the list of attendees from the British wizarding world for the International Alchemical Conference in two months, with specific inquiries about the Ministry of Magic and Anduin, clearly showing his concern about who from Britain would be attending.

In Anduin's view, this behavior was a clear indication that he was in Egypt. It seemed that Silver Spear would definitely be taking action during the International Alchemical Conference in two months, and Thunderbird would most likely be there.

And the fact that he was asking about him probably meant he was planning to cause trouble for him while completing his mission. This guy really held a grudge.

But this was exactly what Anduin wanted. His worry wasn't about Thunderbird coming after him, but about not being able to find him. So he instructed Azelia to make it clear in her reply that he would definitely be attending the International Alchemical Conference.

On the other hand, his Silver Flash Trading Company had also developed rapidly over the past year. Originally, his company was a supplier to the Ministry of Magic, with a solid foundation in the business.

Later, he established a relationship with St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, becoming their supplier of medical equipment. He even contacted the British Wizarding Broadcasting Corporation, undercutting the competition to take over the production of magical tape recorders, becoming their manufacturer.

Furthermore, through the British Wizarding Broadcasting Corporation, he contacted the Wizarding Wireless Network, and Anduin discovered that his former senior, Glenda Chittock, the witch who had instructed him in the Gale Repelling Charm, was now the host of the "Magical Time" music program.

Through his relationship with this senior, Anduin also connected with the famous wizarding singer Celestina Warbeck, as well as musical groups such as the Weird Sisters, and reached a cooperation agreement with them. Silver Flash Trading Company would release their records and albums, splitting the sales revenue 50/50.

With the dual promotion of these businesses and singers, as well as several autograph sessions held in the stores, Anduin's gramophone and record sales soared.

Thanks to Celestina Warbeck's international influence, records and gramophones bearing the Silver Flash Trading Company logo were even sold abroad. Now, alchemical trading companies in the French wizarding world were even contacting Anduin, wanting to become his downstream distributors.

Of course, in addition to the gramophone business, other civilian products were also developing well. During this period, the vampire Xia Tiya helped a lot. Her former Toreador clan was fond of the arts, giving Xia Tiya the opportunity to display her talents.

Xia Tiya became the second product designer for Silver Flash Trading Company after Vivian, creating numerous product designs for various amulet sets and civilian goods in the store.

The products she designed had a strong medieval gothic style, which was very popular among wizards and witches.

During this period, Anduin's store gradually expanded. A little over a year ago, Silver Flash Trading Company was still a small shop with only a few products to sell, but now it was a large store with an area of ​​over a hundred square meters, filled with a wide variety of products.

......

One day in Silver Flash Trading Company, it was noon, a time when there were very few customers. Hogg was, as always, squatting in front of the counter, supporting his chin with his dog paws, yawning.

And Xia Tiya was also wandering around the store listlessly, staring blankly at her toes, trying to find a speck of dust on her Lolita-style boots. In addition to designing, she also had to work as a sales person, after all, Anduin didn't support idlers. But with no customers at the moment, she felt increasingly bored.

"Qiqi, what are we having for lunch later? I haven't had Mao Xue Wang for a long time, and also blood duck, blood sausage, pig blood soup, no, I'm getting hungrier the more I talk about it," Xia Tiya complained, rubbing her stomach as she looked at Qiqi, who was cleaning the shelves.

"You glutton, since you came, there hasn't been enough food. How can you eat so much? I feel like I've lost weight recently," Hogg glanced at Xia Tiya, saying sarcastically.

"You have the nerve to talk about me? You're the biggest eater in the house, and you only eat meat. Can't you learn to be a vegetarian?" Xia Tiya retorted angrily as soon as Hogg spoke.

Xia Tiya had gotten used to staying with Anduin, especially after tasting Qiqi's delicious food. She no longer had any intention of running away. In addition, Anduin wasn't a troublesome person. Besides helping out in the store every day, he would occasionally draw some of her blood for experiments. Life was carefree.

But Hogg was the one who didn't get along with her. He would argue with her whenever he had the chance.

"Have you ever seen a wolf eat meat? Why don't you, you dead bat, learn to be a vegetarian?" Hogg rolled his eyes at Xia Tiya, then looked at Qiqi, "By the way, the boss is going to give us a vacation in a few days. Qiqi, where do you think we should go?"

"I think it's comfortable to stay at home. Christmas wasn't that long ago, and it's still very cold outside, isn't it?" Qiqi said, considering as she cleaned the cupboard.

"If you ask me, we should go to the Weasleys' house. I bet Ginny must miss Hogg. After all, it's been more than half a year since the last summer vacation, hasn't it? Hehe!" Knowing that Ginny was Hogg's nemesis, Xia Tiya immediately teased him.

"Tui! What a terrible idea," Hogg glared at Xia Tiya fiercely, then came up with a bad idea of his own, "If you ask me, we should go on a picnic in the wild, bask in the sun, and enjoy the warmth of the sun. It would be best to sunbathe a certain bat to death alive!"

"You!"

Xia Tiya's eyes widened in anger, but then the conversation was suddenly interrupted by Anduin, who had appeared.
