In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed.

Ye Tian and the others walked out of an antique shop on the side of the street, and a few people were talking and laughing, looking very relaxed.

The owner of the antique shop who sent them out, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were a little apprehensive, and even a trace of regret.

Obviously, this antique shop has not escaped the bad luck of being ransacked by Ye Tian!

However, the antique shopkeeper did not know what the value of the antique he sold was and whether it had been looted, so he behaved like this.

As soon as he walked out of the antique shop, Ye Tian raised his eyes and saw several familiar old friends, walking briskly towards here.

The visitors were Pendemaris, as well as several experts in the appraisal of antique works of art and several high-level officials from the Acropolis Museum.

The Acropolis Museum is only a few hundred meters from the flea market, and Pendemaris was the first to hear from them and the fastest to get there.

The Acropolis Museum is also one of the most authoritative institutions for the study of the sculpture art of Phidias.

For the statue of Athena, the god of classical carving, Phedias, the Acropolis Museum dreams of owning one, even if it is a fragment of a statue!

Hearing the news that Ye Tian had found the fragments of the statue of Phidias, Pendemaris and the others could still sit still, and immediately left the museum and rushed here.

As he spoke, these old friends had come closer.

Before he could gain a foothold, Pendemaris could not wait to say:

"Steven, I heard that you just purchased a fragment of a marble statue at this flea market, which has been identified as part of the statue of Athena of Phedias, the god of classical carving.

Can you show us the fragment of the marble statue? If it is indeed a fragment of a sculpture by Phidias, then there is no doubt that this is a great discovery that has caused a sensation in the world!"

When he said this, Pendemaris's voice trembled a little, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the metal trolley box in David's hand, and he was reluctant to take his eyes off for a moment.

The rest of the guys from the Acropolis Museum behaved the same, all staring at the black metal trolley case with extremely hot eyes.

However, Ye Tian smiled and shook his head slightly, giving a negative answer.

"Pendemaris, you are very well informed, and yes, I did receive a fragment of a marble statue just now, which is the left forearm of a female sculpture, and it is a classical carving.

As for the conclusion I have given, it is only a matter of opinion, whether the fragment of the statue is part of the work of Phidios, the god of classical carving, needs to be studied to determine.

You can admire and identify the fragment of the statue, but not here, you can see the environment here, it's not suitable for this, and we have some things.

At eight o'clock in the evening, come to the Coco Mart Hotel, and I will hold a small appreciation party, where you will be able to peruse and examine the remnants of the marble statue.

Maria from the National Archaeological Museum of Greece and several experts in the appraisal of antique art, as well as George and Dimitri, as well as a number of other professionals, will also take part in this appreciation."

Hearing this, what else could the Acropolis Museum and the group say? Things were not in their hands, they had no initiative, they could only listen to Ye Tian.

After a moment's silence, Pendemaris nodded and said:

"That's a good arrangement, Steven, we'll wait for this little appreciation in the evening, and take a good look at the remnants of the marble statue, and to be honest, I can't wait, and I can't wait for the night to come!"

"Don't worry, Pendemaris, it's not a few hours until eight o'clock in the evening, and you can do your homework just in time."

Ye Tian said with a smile, his expression was very relaxed.

He then chatted with his old friends before leaving and walking down the street to the famous flea market.

Looking at the back of Ye Tian leaving, looking at the many trophies that David was carrying in their hands, these professionals from the Acropolis Museum couldn't help but sigh with envy.

"It seems that the legend is true, God will always stand with this guy Steven, and will always favor him, this guy's luck is so good, he can find any treasure, and he can make people envious to madness!"

"Yes, Steven is indeed extremely lucky and has a sharp eye, but the antique dealers in the flea market on the Acropolis have been bleeding for eight lifetimes!

Look, after the crazy ransacking of this bastard Steven, this historic flea market will definitely be depleted, and you won't want to slow down in a few years!"

Just when these professionals were full of emotion, Ye Tian and the others had already walked to an antique stall and began to check the goods on that stall.

Soon, they left the stall that dealt in antique art, or so-called antique art, and walked to the next stall without taking anything with them.

About ten minutes later, George, a top collector who had just made a phone call, rushed to the flea market with several expert experts and bodyguards and found Ye Tian, his expression was as eager as if he was on fire.

Seeing this old friend, Ye Tian also refused the other party's request to admire and identify the remnants of the marble statue, and repeated what he had just said to Pendemaris.

George could only accept Ye Tian's arrangement to wait until eight o'clock in the evening to go to the Coco Mart Hotel and admire the marble statue fragment at the appreciation to see if it was part of Phidias' work.

Next, Ye Tian received a lot of calls from all over the world, including calls from familiar old friends, peers, and the U.S. Department of Culture and the Greek Ministry of Culture, to name a few.

The men all called for the same purpose, to inquire about the fragment of the marble statue, and to ask if it was a fragment of the work of Phidias.

Some of them, like George, expressed their willingness to buy the marble statue before they saw it, and they bid higher than the other, a bit of a swagger of ambition.

Ye Tian's response was very simple, his old friends in Athens, Greece, and with a certain amount of weight, all sent out invitations to invite the other party to participate in the appreciation meeting held tonight.

As for those old friends and colleagues who are not in Athens, Greece, you can enjoy the fragment of the marble statue through the high-definition video screen and participate in this small appreciation meeting remotely!

At that time, the appraisal conclusions given by many antique art appraisal experts on the scene can be heard by the user.

With the incoming phone calls, the news of the discovery of this suspected fragment of Phidias' work has caused more and more sensation.

The people who received the news were all waiting for the night to come, waiting for the start of the small appreciation party that was destined to be watched at 8 o'clock in the evening.

And the core figure of this matter, Ye Tian, still led a group of subordinates to continue to frantically sweep the Athens flea market, and it seems that he has the posture to sweep this place away!

Soon, the time was around three o'clock in the afternoon.

The company employees and security personnel who followed Ye Tian returned to the hotel several times in succession to release the loot that Ye Tian had swept over.

However, the metal trolley box containing the remnants of the marble statue was always in David's hands and never left Ye Tian's sight.

In fact, he did not dare to let this trolley case out of his sight, which would be tantamount to providing someone else with an opportunity to steal this important treasure of Greece.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others walked into a small antique shop located on the side of the street.

Seeing a few of them pushing the door in, the owner of this antique shop couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he had to come forward and greet Ye Tian and them.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, welcome, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Norris, the owner of this little antique shop"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Norris, I'm glad to meet you, I like it very well and in style in this antique shop of yours."

Ye Tian said politely with a smile on his face, and shook hands with the antique shopkeeper.

After some politeness, Norris said with a worried expression:

"I don't know what you'd like to see? Mr. Steven, I'll introduce you."

"Let's take a look at it first, Norris, you go and receive the other guests, and if you need it, I'll greet you"

As he spoke, Ye Tian stretched out his finger and pointed to the other two customers in the store, and nodded lightly at the two of them, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Okay, Mr. Steven, feel free to call me if you need to"

Norris nodded in response, then turned and walked over to the other two guests, their expressions still uneasy.

Next, Ye Tian took David and them and began to appreciate the goods displayed in this antique shop.

After a while, he suddenly pointed to a painted pottery bowl on the shelf and asked curiously:

"Mr. Norris, where and what period does this painted pottery bowl come from? Judging by the painted pattern above, it looks like an antique from the late 19th century."

Hearing this, Norris immediately turned his head to look.

The moment he saw the painted pottery bowl, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.

"Mr. Steven, you can get your hands on the pottery bowl, the painted bowl is indeed from the late nineteenth century, a gift from a young Athenian painter to his lover.

The painted motif on the bowl was painted by the young painter himself, and there is also a Greek love poem written in the bowl, which is "To Anna Doria" by the ancient Greek poetess Sappho."

"Wow! I love Sappho's "To Anna Doria", this old love poem is quite moving, it seems to be a very romantic gift, let me enjoy it!"

Ye Tian pretended to be amazed, and reached out to pick up the painted bowl on the shelf, and admired it carefully.

However, in his eyes under the cover of sunglasses, a flash of surprise quickly flashed.

This is a painted pottery bowl from the late nineteenth century, which is clearly an ancient Greek striped inlaid pottery bowl, with a history of at least 2,000 years, extremely precious, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure!

And the young Athenian painter of the nineteenth century was obviously a lover.

The guy didn't know where to find such a priceless treasure, and in order to please his lover, he painted and wrote poems on this striped inlaid pottery bowl, and then gave it to his lover as a gift.

In this way, the original face of this priceless treasure is completely obscured, and it is transformed into a very ordinary nineteenth-century painted pottery bowl, a romantic token of love.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian suddenly had the urge to laugh out loud, and he was also full of gratitude to that Romeo in the late nineteenth century. 8)
