Treasure Hunt all over the World

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Ye Tian and his convoy left the Vatican and headed straight for Rome's Leonardo da Vinci International Airport.

The journey went smoothly, and the convoy arrived at the airport soon.

About half an hour later, Ye Tian's Bombardier Global Express 8000 took off, roared into the sky, and flew to New York with Betty and the others.

The reason why Ye Tian asked Betty to return to New York instead of continuing to stay by his side and follow him to explore treasures and enjoy the beautiful scenery all over Europe is of course his own considerations.

At a press conference to be held this morning, the joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar by Darius and the Vatican will be officially announced.

Don't even think about it, once this news is announced, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world and attract countless attention.

In particular, the treasure of the Knights Templar is related to several famous religious relics and some mysterious religious groups that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, which may trigger some extreme reactions.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously not a wise choice for Betty to stay by his side and explore the treasure of the Knights Templar together.

It was for safety reasons that Ye Tian asked Betty to leave Rome and return to New York.

Besides, there is another reason.

They have been away from New York for a long time, and the company has accumulated a lot of affairs that need Betty to go back to deal with, such as the settlement with major New York auction houses after the New York autumn auction season.

Not long after Betty and the others left, Anderson and several security personnel brought a large number of valuable antique artworks and began to formally clear the customs, accepting the joint inspection of the customs and the Italian cultural relics gendarmerie.

Just as Ye Tian expected, although these antique works of art are valuable, they are not enough to limit the threshold of leaving the country.

After a careful inspection by the Italian cultural relics gendarme, they could only let it go. They watched as boxes full of antique artworks were sent to chartered flights one by one, and then transported to New York on the other side of the ocean.

Of course, Ye Tian didn't miss a penny of the customs tax that should be paid, and handed in all of them, which can be regarded as a contribution to Rome, but this contribution is so meager that it can be ignored.

At about 8:30 in the morning, the American Airlines charter plane carrying Anderson and a large number of antique artworks took off smoothly and rushed into the sky.

Fly directly to New York on the other side of the ocean.

After watching the American Airlines charter plane fly into the sky and disappear out of sight, Ye Tian looked away, then led the team out of the airport and returned to Rome again.

By the time their convoy arrived at the Vatican, it was already around 9:15 in the morning.

At this time, St. Peter's Square is already very lively, crowded with people everywhere!

In addition to countless tourists from all over the world, there were also many media reporters, carrying long guns and short cannons, scattered all over the square.

The arrival of Ye Tian's heavy convoy naturally cannot escape the eyes of these guys.

The moment they saw the convoy, these guys immediately ran like a chicken blood, and rushed towards Ye Tian like a tide.

Ye Tian and the others just got out of the car, before they stepped into St. Peter's Square, they saw such a scene.

Fortunately, Cole and the others were already prepared, and the Vatican police patrolling the square had already received orders to keep an eye on these uncrowned kings who were afraid of chaos.

In the blink of an eye, there were two more warning lines around Ye Tian and the others.

The outer one was composed of the Vatican police, and the inner one was composed of Cole and the others, directly stopping the media reporters who were rushing towards them.

However, these uncrowned kings would not let go of this opportunity, otherwise they would not have to do this job.

Before gaining a firm foothold, several media reporters couldn't wait to start asking questions loudly.

"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter from the Washington Post. Will the press conference to be held later announce your plan to cooperate with the Vatican to explore the treasure? Can you tell me what kind of treasure it is?"

"Steven, good morning. I'm a reporter from Italian National Television. Can you tell me about your public reward on the Internet for collecting statue fragments? Whose work is that statue and how much is it worth?

A piece of news just appeared on social media. It is said that you spent 200,000 euros last night and received a few fragments of statues from an antique dealer. What kind of statues are they so expensive? "

Hearing these questions, Ye Tian immediately stopped in his tracks, quickly put on a bright smile, and turned around to look at the expectant media reporters.

He quickly glanced around the scene, and then said loudly with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the press, good morning, I'm Steven, I'm very glad to meet you here, today's weather is very nice, the sun is shining brightly, I hope everyone is in the same mood.

The press conference that will be held later will indeed announce the plan of our company and the Vatican to jointly explore the treasure. There is no need to hide this, and there is no need for it. Everyone must have guessed it.

But what exactly is the treasure, let me keep it a secret. It is not convenient to reveal the home for the time being. It still needs to be kept secret. After the press conference is held later, everyone will know the answer. Don't worry! "

"Hey--!"

There was a sound of sighing at the scene, and those media reporters were somewhat disappointed, and could only continue to suffer.

When the scene calmed down a bit, Ye Tian immediately went on to say:

"Let's talk about the fact that I publicly offered a reward on the Internet to collect statue fragments. The news circulating on social media is correct. I did spend 200,000 euros last night and received a few statue fragments.

This is the first batch of statue fragments I received after I released the reward announcement. It can be said that it is a good start. I am very happy and hope that more people can see this news and work hard to collect statue fragments.

As long as the statue fragments you have collected are all right and exactly what I want, then don't worry, all your hard work and efforts will be rewarded the most, but don't try to fish in troubled waters!

As for the theme of the statue, which character or story is it, who is the artist who created it, and how much is it worth? Either I am not very clear about this information, or it is temporarily inconvenient to announce it!

What I can tell you is that it is an ancient Greek sculpture with a long history. When I found it and bought it, it was a pile of dilapidated fragments of the statue, and the damage was worse than that of "The Remnant Body".

After I bought the pieces, I took them back to my house and tried to put them back together. In the process, I became very interested in this ancient Greek sculpture and hoped to reproduce it.

To me, it's a jigsaw puzzle, and it would be so much fun to put this sculpture together and recreate it, that's why I'm offering a bounty for the rest of the statue! "

"Wow! Jigsaw puzzles, is there such an expensive jigsaw puzzle? I've never heard of it anyway!"

"Steven is as crazy as ever. He spent hundreds of thousands of euros to buy a few pieces of statues just to play jigsaw puzzles. Only he can do this kind of thing. Who else would be willing to do it!"

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's words.

Of course, many people do not believe this high-sounding statement.

They knew very well in their hearts that this is a guy who has no profit and can't afford it early, and he will never do business at a loss. Since he spent such a high price to collect statue fragments, that ancient Greek sculpture must be very important!

No need to ask, it is likely to be a top-notch work of art that is priceless.

However, no matter how hard these media reporters think, they would never have imagined that it is actually the statue of Athena, the god of classical sculpture, Phidias, a priceless treasure that only exists in legends!

Afterwards, Ye Tian answered a few more questions before taking his leave and returning to the residence with David and the others to prepare for the press conference later.

After they left, they saw that the time was almost up. The reporters from the world's major news media also walked to the place where the press conference was held. Everyone was full of expectations.
