Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1572 The Bustling Metropolitan Museum

Upper Manhattan, in front of the Metropolitan Museum.

At this time, the square adjacent to Fifth Avenue was already crowded with people and bustling!

People from all over New York, from all over the United States, and many tourists from other countries in the world, all gathered here today, and the place was crowded.

Unlike in the past, people who come here today have almost the same purpose.

That is to appreciate the two top works of art, the second of the three masters of Renaissance art, Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", and feel the charm of the top art masters!

After disappearing for more than 200 years, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was chosen for the first public exhibition of these two top works of art after they reappeared in the sky. How can such a godsend opportunity be missed.

More importantly, after the Metropolitan Museum's public exhibition, these two top artworks will return to the Vatican, becoming the Vatican's collection again after more than 200 years!

In other words, this exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum is likely to be the only public exhibition of these two top artworks. If you want to appreciate them again in the future, you can only go to the Vatican!

In this regard, it depends on the Vatican's attitude towards these two top artworks.

Whether they keep these two top works of art as a taboo and keep them out of the reach of tourists, or put them in public places for people to enjoy, this is an uncertain thing!

Under such circumstances, how could people be willing to miss this opportunity, so they gathered in front of the Metropolitan Museum, looking forward to the opening of the exhibition!

Many of them rushed to New York overnight from other places, or even from other countries, just to appreciate the two top artworks for the first time!

In addition to many tourists and art lovers, there are also many professionals in the field of antique art collection gathered here, many of whom are old friends of Ye Tian.

The first to bear the brunt is naturally the director of the Metropolitan Museum, other high-level officials of the Metropolitan Museum, and many top experts in the identification of antique works of art.

They all stood on the top floor of the steps in front of the Metropolitan Museum, looking down at the south side of Fifth Avenue. Everyone was extremely excited and full of expectations!

Of course, there are also many New York police officers maintaining order, security personnel from art insurance companies, and security personnel from the Metropolitan Museum.

Due to the relatively long distance, the sudden rain of gunfire in Lower Manhattan did not reach here, and the order in the Metropolitan Museum Square is not bad!

However, many New York police officers who maintain order here have received the news.

They immediately raised the alert level here to the highest level, observing the situation on the square vigilantly, ready to respond at any time.

Soon, many high-level and security personnel of the Metropolitan Museum also received relevant news. Their faces changed suddenly, becoming extremely ugly, and their eyes were full of worry.

The last to receive the news were the remaining antique art professionals, as well as the largest number of tourists and art lovers in the square.

The news of the fierce gun battle in lower Manhattan spread across the entire social network in an instant like a hurricane, causing a huge sensation!

Some pedestrians and tourists near the scene, while avoiding stray bullets, did not forget to take pictures to increase the click-through rate of their homepages.

They posted the pictures of the scene like a battlefield on the Internet and on all social media, and everyone knows about it!

In connection with the scene before and after the shootout, some guys inferred in a blink of an eye that this fierce and unusual police shootout was related to that guy Steven and the two paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo!

Those robbers who were fighting to the death with the New York police came for that guy Steven and those two top artworks, ready to rob them halfway!

But I don't know what happened, instead of successfully robbing those guys, they were bitten by the New York police. When the street fire broke out, the killing was extremely lively!

It is estimated that the robbers were not careful enough and accidentally leaked the news, so they were surrounded by the police; or they were tricked by Steven, a cunning bastard. This possibility is very high!

After hearing the news through various channels, the front of the Metropolitan Museum immediately boiled like a pot!

"Oh my god! It's crazy that someone tried to rob that Steven halfway, robbing the paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo, they must be a bunch of tired idiots!"

"Those are the peak paintings of the three masters of Renaissance art, each of which is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, it's so normal to be targeted by people, and it's not normal that no one is thinking about them!

And that guy, Steven, is too high-profile. He publicly announced early on that he would send those two top artworks to the Metropolitan Museum for public exhibition today.

This is tantamount to publicly declaring to all robbers and art thieves, come and rob me if you have the guts! It depends on whether you have the ability, and only a crazy guy like Steven dares to do this."

While the discussions continued, people were also extremely worried. They all looked towards the south of Fifth Avenue, expecting to see the escort convoy arrive safely.

Some cautious people even felt fear in their hearts, ready to turn around and leave here to avoid accidents!

But wherever that guy Steven appears, there must be constant turmoil, not to mention that he is also carrying two priceless top artworks, which is even more dangerous!

At this moment, a huge roar of the helicopter engine suddenly came over with the wind, and reached the ears of everyone in front of the Metropolitan Museum!

Immediately afterwards, an Airbus H155 medium-sized helicopter with smooth lines and elegant shape directly broke into people's field of vision, roaring from the sky along Fifth Avenue from south to north!

The moment I saw the Airbus H155 medium-sized helicopter, cheers erupted in front of the Metropolitan Museum.

"Wow! That's great. That's Steven's helicopter. Steven and the others are finally here, as are Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ!"

"I can finally witness those two top-level works of art with my own eyes. Today is not in vain. It is worth waiting for half a day, although it is a bit thrilling!"

Everyone at the scene cheered, everyone was so excited, they forgot the fierce gun battle in lower Manhattan in an instant, and let go of their fear.

Especially the high-level members of the Metropolitan Museum danced with excitement. Everyone let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot!

It would be a shame to lose the opportunity to show Raphael and Michelangelo in their prime because of the idiots who are fighting the police in Lower Manhattan!

Fortunately, God bless, that guy Steven kept his promise and finally came to the Metropolitan Museum with those two top artworks. This is undoubtedly the most perfect result!

As for the robbers who are fighting with the police, it is best to kill them all and leave none behind. This will reduce a little garbage and save a lot of energy!

Before the cheers fell, the escort convoy had already appeared in people's field of vision, heading straight for the entrance of the Metropolitan Museum along Fifth Avenue.

Especially the Paramount Predator that Ye Tian was riding on was much taller than the other cars, and also much wider than the other cars.

While speaking, the escort convoy had already driven to the front of the Metropolitan Museum. Several bulletproof SUVs and an armored escort vehicle met end to end and stopped at the side of Fifth Avenue.

"clap clap"

Thunderous applause suddenly sounded, very enthusiastic, resounding throughout the square in front of the Metropolitan Museum and the entire Fifth Avenue!

Everyone here gave their applause for Ye Tian and the others, and for the two top artworks that will be on public display soon.

Amidst the applause, many New York police officers who were maintaining order at the scene, as well as those who escorted the convoy, acted quickly!

They set up two cordons around the escort convoy to separate the crowds of onlookers in the square to avoid accidents. No one can afford that kind of result.

Immediately afterwards, Mattis led many armed security personnel out of the car, and established another line of defense next to the Paramount Marauder car and the armored escort car!

Each of them is fully armed, wearing body armor, holding a short assault rifle, and is on high alert at all times, keeping an eye on the situation around him, ready to respond at any time.

At the same time, a group of professionals, headed by the curator of the Metropolitan Museum, walked down the high steps together, walked quickly through the crowd, and walked towards the escort convoy.

It can be seen that each of them has a bright smile on their face, and their eyes are shining with excitement!

After confirming that there was no danger at the scene, Matisse immediately whispered:

"Steven, you can get out of the car, scene safety"

After the voice fell, the rear door of the Paramount Predator opened.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian got out of this huge vehicle and landed on the square in front of the Metropolitan Museum.

The door of a Chevrolet Saaban bulletproof SUV opened at the rear, and David and his assistant lawyer got out of the car and walked towards this side quickly.

"Good morning, Steven, long time no see, welcome to our Metropolitan Museum, nice to meet you here"

A few meters away, the curator of the Metropolitan Museum greeted him. The enthusiasm was a bit fake!
