Chapter 1783: Triumphant

Leaving the Porte de la Botceis open-air market, as soon as he came to the parking lot next to the market, Ye Tian saw two old friends from afar, one was Giovanni, and a deputy minister of the Italian Ministry of Culture.

At the same time, these two guys also saw Ye Tian and his group and greeted them.

Just like Pizarro just acted, the expressions of these two guys were a little embarrassed, or embarrassed.

However, these two are battle-hardened old fritters after all, and it is a basic quality to spit on their own faces.

In an instant, they adjusted their emotions and their expressions returned to normal.

After a few polite words, Giovanni went straight to the point and asked with a solemn face:

"Steven, now that the whole Italian antique art collecting scene has been spread, you guy has ransacked the Porte de Porte de Botes souk and swept away a lot of valuable antique art.

Pizarro, who has been with you, has also confirmed this, and I would like to ask you about the antique artworks you bought, and what is the origin and value of them?

And one more thing, what are you going to do with those antiques? Are you going to dispose of them in Rome, or are you going to ship them back to New York and do it again?

Ye Tian looked at the two old friends in front of him, and then said jokingly:

"It's an exaggeration, one might even say a lie! Giovanni, I did buy a lot of things at the Porte de Botceis, but to say that it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that it was a spree!

It's hard to say whether the things I bought are antique works of art or not, and how much they are worth now, but I will have to go back and study them carefully to get a definite answer.

Maybe I'll just be able to see that many things are not antique artworks, but counterfeit works, or even modern crafts, which have no value at all, and this is also a very likely thing!"

Hearing this, Giovanni and the Italian deputy minister of culture rolled their eyes angrily and complained secretly.

Who the hell believes you, you bastard, who has heard of it!

In the antique markets of Paris, London, Florence, and Milan, you bastard, you were blinded by the previous bastard? Didn't you go crazy and loot countless valuable antique artworks?

How could Rome be an exception? The open-air market in front of you is probably about to be ransacked by you greedy bastard!

As a last resort, we took advantage of the threat of a terrorist attack to close the bazaar ahead of schedule, interrupting your bastard's actions in order to leave some more treasures for Rome!

Even so, the Botesai Gate Souk is a place of mourning, and God knows how many antique dealers have become the protagonists of bloody tragedies and the swords of you bastard!

Although they were complaining frantically in their hearts, Giovanni and the others did not resort to it, but looked at Ye Tian coldly angrily.

Ye Tian saw the reactions of Giovanni and the two of them, but he didn't bother to take care of it, and still continued his performance.

"As you may know, our company and the Vatican have signed a joint exploration agreement, which will soon be put into action, and we will not be able to stay in Rome for a few days, at most a week, and we will be gone!

And there's still a lot to do in the meantime, and there's not much time to study the things you bought today and determine where they came from and what they're worth, so you can only send them back to New York to study later!"

Hearing this, Giovanni immediately became anxious, and immediately said with a gloomy face:

"Steven, you also know Italy's policy on antique art, and if there are particularly important antiques in the things you buy today, we can't let them go out......"

He was about to continue, but was interrupted by Ye Tian with a smile.

"Giovanni, of course, I am very familiar with the Italian antiques and art-related policies, and I am happy to cooperate, and we have worked together quite happily in Florence and Milan before.

But the price of these things I buy today is no more than 100,000 euros, and most of them are ordinary goods of a few hundred or thousands of euros, and I don't think I am qualified to be on the list of artworks that are restricted from leaving the country.

What's more, the origin of these things is very clear, the transaction process is legitimate, and there are corresponding supporting documents, as well as video evidence taken at the time of purchase, so you can't fault anything.

Of course, when we ship these things back to New York, we will also pay the corresponding customs duties according to the purchase price, and we will not lose a penny, which is also a contribution to Rome.

Of course, your cultural relics gendarmerie can inspect and appraise, and customs and other relevant agencies can also inspect it, but there is no reason to detain these things, and my team of lawyers will follow them all the way!"

"Hiss——!"

Giovanni and the others gasped and were secretly frightened.

This damn bastard is so cunning that he can't think about anything?

Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence!

Next, Ye Tian said a few more nonsense words to the two of them, and then said goodbye and left, taking Betty and a few loot that had just swept over, and walked towards his convoy.

Looking at the back of Ye Tian leaving, Giovanni and the Italian Deputy Minister of Culture both hated it so much, their eyes were full of anger, but they felt very helpless.

Waiting for Ye Tian and the others to get in the car one after another and drive away, Giovanni and the deputy minister also left here quickly, and went back to discuss with someone to discuss and think of countermeasures against Ye Tian.

More than half an hour later, Ye Tian and his convoy returned to the Vatican smoothly.

As usual, Ye Tian and Betty chose to get off at the edge of St. Peter's Square and walk across the square to return to their residence in the Vatican Gardens.

Anderson followed the convoy with the antique artworks that had swept from the Porte de Porte de la Botceis souk, around the other entrance to the Vatican, and directly into the underground garage.

As soon as he crossed the border between the Vatican and Italy and entered St. Peter's Square, Ye Tian saw Leonardo and several members of the Swiss Guard walking towards him.

When he came closer, Leonardo immediately whispered enviously:

"Congratulations, Steven, I've heard that you've made a huge hit today, sweeping almost the entire Boteser Gate Souk and sweeping through countless valuable antique artworks.

Those two medium-sized helicopters that were responsible for transporting the loot flew back and forth seven or eight times, and our Vatican is about to become a warehouse for you to store the loot!"

"It's a bit of an exaggeration, Leonardo, but it's a bit rewarding today, and it's worth it! Tomorrow I'm going to visit two more famous antique streets, Coronari Street and Margeta Street.

The famous antique shops near Piazza di España, the Castro antique shops with a history of over 100 years of antique art business, are not to be missed, and after visiting these places, the tour of Rome is over!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, but he exposed his ambitions.

Hearing his words, Leonardo couldn't help but shudder and was shocked.

Steven's this thing is really ruthless, this is the rhythm of showing the whole of Rome to be ransacked, it's just greedy to the extreme!

Leonardo, who secretly sighed to himself, knew that he saw only a partial.

In secret, Ye Tian still has many unknown actions, the purpose of which is to sack Rome.

Jason and the others have already started to acquire the historic buildings near Piazza Venezia and Trajan's Square, and it's going very well.

After successfully taking over those historical buildings and jointly exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar, Ye Tian can return to Rome to carry out the exploration operation, which is another wonderful show destined to cause a sensation in the world.

After chatting a few words, Ye Tian diverted the topic.

"Leonardo, you guys get ready, in three days we will hold a press conference to announce the joint exploration of the Templar Knights' treasures, and then we can start the operation!"

"Great, we're ready to wait for you guy to finish his trip to Rome and start a joint exploration operation, this is the day we've been waiting for for hundreds of years!

Later I will tell His Majesty the Pope and the Bishop of Kent, set the time, and then inform the major media that they will come to the Vatican in three days for a press conference."

Leonardo whispered excitedly, and flicked his fist lightly, his eyes shining.

As they spoke, the group had passed through St. Peter's Square and into the Vatican Gardens.
