"Xiaotian, those antique artworks you sent were successfully received at the capital airport, and they were sent to the Forbidden City overnight and preserved, which is very safe.

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

I, along with your personal lawyer, as well as the security guards and police, will escort the wooden crates containing the fragments of the statue of Athena to the financial street and deposit them in the vault."

Ye Tian and the others had just left the Castro antique store, and the sister-in-law's phone called in, informing them of the situation in Beijing, and everything was going very well!

At this time, in the Knight XV armored car that Ye Tian and Betty were riding, there were two more top-notch works of art that were worth a lot of money.

Needless to say, these two top-notch works of art are coming from the Castro antique store that has just left.

Ye Tian faithfully practiced the principle of thieves not going empty, and he was not polite at all, and also ransacked the Castro antique shop.

Thinking of the extremely sad eyes of the two sisters and brothers Alessandra and Alberto when they just left the antique shop, Ye Tian laughed softly, not to mention how comfortable his body and mind were, he was refreshed!

After listening to the sister-in-law's report, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:

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

When you deposit the statue of Athena in the vault of the financial street, I will post a bounty on the Internet, in Italy, in Greece, and around the world for finding the remaining fragments of the idol.

Once the bounty is announced, it is bound to attract a lot of attention, and many people will inevitably wonder if these fragments of the statue are from that famous sculpture and deserve such fanfare.

I guess I can guess everything, and if people know that I'm looking for a fragment of the statue of Athena, it's going to be a big problem, and I'm going to have to pay a huge price.

Even if someone finds a finger of the statue of Athena, they will dare to offer millions or tens of millions of dollars, which may not be able to be collected, especially important parts such as the head.

The Italian government and the Greek government will never watch me collect fragments of the statue of Athena, they will definitely set up all kinds of obstacles, snipe wildly, and even cut off halfway!

Once the head or other important parts of the statue of Athena fall into the hands of the Italian or Greek governments, it will be completely finished, and it will be impossible to take those pieces again for any amount of money!"

"I know, Xiaotian, don't worry, we will keep it strictly secret! Except for a few adults in our family, I haven't told anyone about this, even your aunt doesn't know the existence of the fragment of the statue of Athena!"

The sister-in-law said with an oath, her tone quite serious.

Then he told his sister-in-law a few more words, and Ye Tian ended the call and hung up the phone.

Before he could put his mobile phone in his pocket, the phone of the Forbidden City Shan Lao came in again, followed by several other old gentlemen from the Forbidden City, calling him one by one.

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

On the phone, these old gentlemen did not hesitate to praise him, and they all smashed Ye Tian's head, one by one, with a lotus tongue, only praising him as rare in the sky and nothing on the earth.

Listening to this crazy praise that was marginal and completely lost in principle, while being relaxed and happy, Ye Tian also felt that his old face was a little feverish, no wonder he was embarrassed!

While talking, Ye Tian and the others came to the street where another famous antique store was located, and continued to frantically sweep the antique art market in Rome, sweeping away all the antique artworks that were slightly valuable and neglected!

As time passed, twilight gradually enveloped Rome.

At the beginning of the day, Ye Tiancai announced the end of today's operation to sweep the Roman antique art market, and returned to the Vatican in triumph.

It was only at this point that almost all professionals in the field of Roman antique art collecting breathed a sigh of relief a little.

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

After a cursory inventory, these Italians finally understood what had happened to them today, to Rome, to Rome, and even to Italy!

It was a catastrophe that would have left everyone heartbroken and completely insane.

Upon understanding this result, many parts of the city of Rome immediately resounded with hysterical and extremely crazy curses, which resounded in the night sky of Rome.

As for the object of the curse, who else can there be besides Ye Tian!

At this moment, Ye Tian has become a public enemy in the field of Italian antique art collection, everyone gritted their teeth with hatred, and hated to tear him apart and feed him to the dogs!

At this time, Ye Tian was sitting in the back seat of the Knight XV armored car, laughing and chatting with Betty, while enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the car window, and went straight to the Vatican!

About half an hour later, Ye Tian's convoy had already arrived at the edge of St. Peter's Square, stopped on the side of the road, and joined each other, forming a tall and solid arc of defense.

As they had done on previous occasions, Ye Tian and the others planned to walk through St. Peter's Square and return to their accommodation in the Vatican Gardens, while the convoy would take another entrance and go directly to the underground parking lot.

As soon as the convoy came to a stop, Cole and the others quickly got out of the car and stood on alert.

A moment later, Ye Tian took Betty to get out of 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 hurriedly greeted them, and everyone's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, like a dead father!

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

Why did they come, Ye Tian was clear in his heart.

What else could it be because of that painting by Caravaggio?

Sure enough!

After greeting each other and saying a few nonsense words that didn't have any nutrients, Giovanni got to the point.

"Steven, is it true that you found a Caravaggio painting on Coronari Avenue and pocketed it for a very low price?

According to what you said to the antique shopkeeper Rossini, 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 want to see and appraise that painting for ourselves, and if it is truly Caravaggio's masterpiece and has a special meaning, I hope you will leave it in Italy!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately laughed softly, and showed an expression that was indeed so.

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

"Giovanni, you are the Italian gendarmerie of antiquities, you are very well informed, yes, I did find a masterpiece by Caravaggio, and the meaning of that painting is very special.

I'm so confident in my own vision that I can't be wrong! If you want to see and authenticate that painting, of course, it's fine, but not tonight, but tomorrow at about two o'clock in the afternoon.

Shortly after I took the classicist painting this morning, I was called by a number of top collectors and super-rich, as well as antique art experts.

Everyone called for the same thing: to see the painting, and several top collectors and super-riches, as well as two museums, expressed their willingness to buy it.

Seeing this, I decided to hold a small appreciation session tomorrow at 2 p.m., inviting all the friends who called me to come to the Vatican to admire and appraise this particular painting.

In addition to Caravaggio's masterpiece, there will also be other valuable antique artworks for everyone to admire, and if you are interested, you can also buy them on the spot.

You can also come and participate, and whether Caravaggio's masterpieces will stay in Italy depends on the performance of the Italian collectors and super-riches, as well as the museums, and I am happy to see it!"

Hearing this, Giovanni and the others couldn't help but roll their eyes and complain to themselves.

It's only been a few days since Lisa Gladini sold for sky-high prices, and he's been playing up the idea of top collectors and super-rich again.

After chatting 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.

Looking at their backs as they left in the night, Giovanni gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Fortunately, this bastard Steven is about to leave Rome, if I let him stay in Rome any longer, I am afraid that the whole of Rome will be ransacked by this bastard!"

"Who's to say it isn't! Look at how many valuable top-notch antique artworks he has swept over the past few years, it's heart-wrenching to think about!"

A guy from the Italian Commission for the Preservation of Historical Heritage chimed in, a pained expression on his face.
