Treasure Hunt all over the World

"Xiaotian, we successfully received the antique artworks you sent at the Capital Airport, and sent them to the Forbidden City overnight, where they were preserved and very safe.

By tomorrow morning, your aunt will take out those Chinese antiques and display them in your private exhibition hall according to your classification.

Together with your personal lawyer, security and police, we will escort the crates containing the fragments of the statue of Athena to Finance Street and deposit them in the vault."

Just as Ye Tian and the others left the Castro Antique Store, my sister-in-law called and reported the situation in Beijing. Everything went very smoothly!

At this time, the Knight XV armored car that Ye Tian and Betty were riding in had two more valuable top-level works of art.

Needless to ask, these two top-notch works of art are coming from the just-departed Castro Antiques.

Ye Tian faithfully practiced the principle that thieves don't leave empty-handed, and he was not polite at all, and ransacked Castro's antique shop.

Thinking of the extremely sad eyes of Alessandra and Alberto when they just left the antique shop, Ye Tian laughed softly without realizing it, not to mention how comfortable he was physically and mentally, he was refreshed!

After listening to the situation reported by my sister-in-law, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:

"Sister-in-law, regarding the fragments of the statue of Athena, you must strictly keep it a secret and not leak it to anyone. Once this news is leaked, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.

After you store the statue of Athena in the vault of the Financial Street, I will post a reward on the Internet, in Italy, in Greece, and even the world, to find the remaining fragments of the statue.

Once the reward is announced, it will definitely attract countless attentions. Many people will doubt that these fragments of the gods come from the famous sculpture, and it is worth such a big fanfare.

At that time, it is estimated that there will be guesses. If people know that what I am looking for is the fragment of the statue of Athena, I will be in big trouble. Not to mention causing a huge sensation, I will have to pay a huge price.

Even if someone found a finger of the statue of Athena, they would dare to offer a sky-high price of hundreds of millions of dollars, but they may not be able to collect all of them, especially important parts such as the head portrait.

The Italian government and the Greek government will never stand by and watch me collect fragments of the statue of Athena wantonly. They will definitely set up various obstacles, snipe wildly, and even cut them halfway!

Fragments of the head or other important parts of the statue of Athena,

Once it falls into the hands of the Italian or Greek government, it will be completely over, and it will be impossible to take those pieces again no matter how much money is spent! "

"I know, Xiaotian, don't worry, we must keep it strictly confidential! Except for a few adults in our family, I didn't tell anyone about it. Even your aunt doesn't know the existence of the Athena statue fragment!"

Sister-in-law said solemnly, her tone was quite serious.

Then he gave some instructions to my sister-in-law, and Ye Tian ended the call and hung up the phone.

Before he could put his mobile phone in his pocket, Old Man Shan from the Forbidden City called again, and then several other old men from the Forbidden City called him one by one.

Without exception, these old gentlemen went to the airport to pick up the goods, and saw the batch of returned Chinese antique artworks with their own eyes. Naturally, they were all ecstatic!

On the phone, these old gentlemen were generous with their compliments, and they all hit Ye Tian's head with brilliant tongues, and they only praised him as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth.

Hearing these rambling and completely out-of-principle crazy compliments, Ye Tian felt his old face a little feverish while feeling relaxed and happy, which is embarrassing!

While talking, Ye Tian and the others came to the street where another famous antique shop was located, and continued to crazily sweep the antique art market in Rome, sweeping all the slightly valuable and neglected antique art!

As time went by, twilight gradually enveloped the whole of Rome.

When the lights first came on, Ye Tiancai announced the end of today's raid on the Roman antique art market, and he returned to the Vatican after triumphantly.

Until this moment, almost all the professionals in the field of Roman antique art collection breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

Next, these guys began to take stock of their losses, of Rome, and of Italy as a whole.

After a rough inventory, these Italians finally understood what happened to them today, the whole of Rome, and even the whole of Italy, what happened to them today!

That was simply a catastrophe, enough to make everyone heartbroken and completely crazy.

After realizing this result, hysterical and insane cursing sounded in many places in the city of Rome immediately, resounding through the night sky of Rome.

As for the object of the curse, who else but Ye Tian!

At this moment, Ye Tian seems to have become a public enemy in the field of Italian antique art collection. Everyone is gnashing their teeth in hatred, wishing to tear him up and feed them to the dogs!

At this time, Ye Tian was sitting on the back seat of the Cavalier XV armored car, chatting with Betty while admiring the beautiful scenery outside the car window, heading straight for the Vatican!

About half an hour later, Ye Tian and his convoy arrived at the edge of St. Peter's Square, stopped by the side of the road, joined end to end, forming a tall and strong arc-shaped defense line.

Like the previous few times, Ye Tian and the others planned to walk through St. Peter's Square and return to their residence in the Vatican Gardens, while the motorcade went through another entrance and went directly to the underground parking lot.

As soon as the convoy stopped, Cole and the others quickly got out of the car and became vigilant.

A while later, Ye Tian and Betty just got off the car and landed on the edge of St. Peter's Square, near the Vatican.

Immediately afterwards, a few old friends who had been waiting here came up quickly, everyone's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, like a dead father!

These old friends are none other than Giovanni, the Italian Ministry of Culture, and a few guys from the Historical Heritage Protection Committee.

Why did they come, Ye Tian knew in his heart.

Besides that painting by Caravaggio, what else?

as expected!

When they came close, they greeted each other, and after a few words of nonsense, Giovanni got down to business.

"Steven, I heard that you found a painting by Caravaggio on Coronari Avenue and bought it at a very low price. Is this true?

According to what you told Rossini, the owner of the antique shop, that classicist painting is an important work of art in the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period, and it is of great research value!

We would like to see and authenticate the painting for ourselves, if it is really a masterpiece by Caravaggio and has special meaning, I hope you will keep that painting in Italy! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately laughed softly, and showed an expression that really did.

He glanced at the old friends in front of him, then smiled and said:

"Giovanni, you are worthy of the Italian cultural relics gendarme. You are very well-informed. Yes, I did find a masterpiece by Caravaggio, and the significance of that painting is very special.

I am extremely confident in my own vision, and I can never be wrong! Of course you want to appreciate and appraise the painting, but not tonight, but tomorrow afternoon around two o'clock.

Not long after I took down that classic painting this morning, many top collectors, super rich, and experts in antique art appraisal received news and called me one after another.

The purpose of everyone calling is basically the same, they all hope to appreciate the painting, and several top collectors and super rich people, as well as two museums, have expressed their willingness to buy it.

Seeing this situation, I decided to hold a small-scale appreciation meeting at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, inviting all my friends who called me to come to the Vatican to appreciate and appraise this special painting.

In addition to this masterpiece by Caravaggio, there will also be some other valuable top antique artworks for everyone to appreciate at the appreciation meeting. If you are interested, you can also buy them on the spot.

You can also come to participate. As for whether Caravaggio’s masterpieces can stay in Italy, it depends on the performance of participating Italian collectors, super-rich, and museums. I am happy to see it! "

Hearing this, Giovanni and the others couldn't help but rolled their eyes and complained secretly.

The bloody New York bastard! Only a few days after "Lisa Gherardini" was sold at a sky-high price, he actually got the idea of ​​those top collectors and the super rich again. How greedy there is no limit!

After chatting for a few more words, Ye Tian said goodbye and left, took Betty across the border, walked into St. Peter's Square, and strolled towards the Vatican Gardens.

Watching their backs leaving in the night, Giovanni gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Fortunately, this bastard Steven is about to leave Rome. If he stays in Rome again, I'm afraid that the whole of Rome will be ransacked by this bastard!"

"Who says it's not! It's heartbreaking to think about how many valuable top-level antique artworks he has crazily swept away during this period of time!"

A guy from the Italian Historical Heritage Conservation Committee agreed, with a painful expression on his face.
