Chapter Two Thousand and Seventy-Nine: A Settlement Is Reached

In the afternoon, through a three-party video conference, Ye Tian and 'Our Cause' finally reached a reconciliation, ending the bloody battle that happened between them but shocked the whole world.

The third party involved in the video conference was the Bishop of Kent, who presided over the reconciliation on behalf of the Vatican Holy See.

In addition, representatives of the Italian Mafia and the American Mafia Committee of Eleven, as well as the leaders of the Italian anti-mafia department, the old acquaintance Director Enrique, and the director of the FBI New York branch Sanders, etc.

All these related people, at the moment when the settlement agreement was finally reached, also participated and witnessed the formal reconciliation of Ye Tian and 'Our Cause'.

But it was only a verbal settlement, and there was no document, and they didn't know anything about the specific content, only saw the happy scene at the end, and became a witness.

In the settlement agreement, the boss of 'Our Cause' personally promised to provide a piece of treasure information worth no less than 200 million US dollars to compensate Ye Tian, and promised not to seek revenge or interfere with the actions of the brave dauntless exploration company.

Ye Tian also vaguely promised to end the crazy revenge against 'our cause', and the grievances between each other were revealed.

Of course, there is a precondition here, that is, 'our business' must keep its promise to come up with that treasure piece of information worth no less than $200 million, and compensate Brave Explorer.

If 'our cause' goes back on its promise, Ye Tian has a way to deal with these mafia scum, and the Vatican will also come forward to put pressure.

Less than ten minutes after the settlement was reached, the bloody fighting that spread almost to the whole of Sicily finally stopped, and this beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea finally quieted down and began to lick its wounds.

Although the gunfire has stopped, the people of Sicily are still terrified and panicked, and it will take some time to calm down.

Through this series of bloody battles, everyone realized more clearly how ruthless and crazy that bastard in Manhattan, New York, was, an out-and-out madman.

Therefore, people also came to a consensus that it was better to stay away from that bastard in the future, as far away as possible, let alone provoke that bastard, so that they could live a little longer and be safer.

With the settlement reached and the mercenaries who had sneaked into Sicily began to evacuate one after another, away from the beautiful island they had ravaged at will, to count the results and collect their bounties.

Although I hated to eat these mercenaries who took money and sold their lives and killed their brothers and friends, the mafia scum of 'our cause' finally endured it and did not provoke the war again.

What can you do if you can't bear it?

This is a war in one's own homeland, and if it continues to fight, the whole of Sicily will be completely destroyed, and God knows how many more brothers and friends will die.

Besides, those mercenaries are all soldiers who have survived a hundred battles, and they are just a bunch of gangsters with guns, and it is okay to deal with ordinary people, but it is far worse to deal with well-trained soldiers!

Not only the mafia scum of 'our cause', but also the Italian government authorities and the local government of Sicily, as well as the police, also acquiesced in the withdrawal of these mercenaries and chose to turn a blind eye!

To a certain extent, they even thanked Ye Tian and these mercenaries from all over the world in their hearts for dealing a heavy blow to the mafia scum of 'our cause' and inflicting heavy losses on these scum.

This is something they have always wanted to do, but they can't do, or dare not let go, can they not be grateful?

Of course, none of this can be put on the surface, everyone knows it.

Ye Tian shook hands with 'Our Cause' and stopped fighting each other, which also made the five major mafia families in New York breathe a sigh of relief and were not so nervous.

Especially the Gambino family, who was involved in this fight, was even more relieved, and everyone in the Gambino family felt that they had just walked out of hell and finally escaped.

As soon as he learned that the settlement agreement had been reached, Gambino Family Boss Goti picked up his mobile phone and called to tell his son Little Gotty that he no longer had to hide in Tibet and could return to New York.

But little Gotty still had palpitations, hung up the phone and immediately left Atlantic City, where he was hiding, and flew directly to Miami, where he dared to return to New York.

Little Gorty did not plan to return to New York for a long time to come, he was really frightened by a series of ruthless bloody killings, leaving a huge shadow that will linger for the rest of his life.

After finalizing the settlement agreement, Ye Tian and the others returned to the company, and it was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Not long after returning to the company, Ye Tian's mobile phone rang again, it was a call from Jason's kid.

The phone rang out, and Jason's voice came immediately.

"Good evening, Steven, oh no, I should say good afternoon, I forgot about the seven hour time difference between the two places, it's night here in Athens and it's afternoon in New York"

When the words fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:

"Good evening, Jason, I should have said that, how is the situation over there?"

"All set, Steven, now that you arrive in Athens, we can set sail and explore the treasures of the blue Mediterranean, the scenery here is beautiful, and this exploration must be very pleasant."

"That's great, but don't be a kid to enjoy the scenery and the warm Mediterranean sun, and talk about other situations, such as the reaction of the Greeks."

"Okay, Steven, the day we arrived in Athens, we got the idea of the relevant Greek authorities, and in the past two days, the Greek Ministry of Culture and the Department of Cultural Heritage Protection have come to our door one after another to ask about the purpose of our trip.

In addition to these government departments, some folk cultural preservation organizations throughout Greece and various universities in Greece are also keeping an eye on our every move and inquiring about the treasure through various channels.

We had some trouble renting yachts and diving equipment and purchasing supplies, and some Greeks were reluctant to do our business, lest we loot the national treasures that belonged to Greece and treat us as robbers.

Fortunately, the Greeks are not monolithic, and we have successfully completed all the preparations, and according to your instructions, we have also released a little news that the destination of our operation is on the high seas, not Greece itself.

After the news broke, the mood of the Greeks relaxed a little, and the suspicion and hostility towards us also decreased a little, and the other thing is that there are some protesters on the port today, basically all of them are students of Greek universities."

Hearing Jason's report, Ye Tian groaned slightly, and then said with a smile:

"After the previous treasure hunting operations that shook the world, the reaction of the Greeks was completely a matter of cleanup, and it was not surprising to me.

We'll be leaving New York for Athens soon, and until we arrive in Athens, you'll have to keep a low profile and try not to leave the port to avoid clashes with the locals.

As for what treasure we are exploring in the Mediterranean this time, you can tell the media who came to visit that I am the only one who knows all kinds of information about this treasure, and you know nothing.

In this way, you should face a little less pressure, and in addition to the Greeks, you should be careful of the Italian mafia, especially the Bennano family and 'our cause'

Although it is the Bennano family that provides the treasure information, no one knows whether this old mafia family is willing, especially after finding the treasure, it is even more cautious.

And then there's the scum of 'our cause', I reached a settlement with those mafia scum this afternoon and ended the fight, but whether those guys keep their promises is also a matter of two words.

Also be careful of other mafia families, the location where we explore the treasure this time is close to Sicily, the mafia's nest, those scum will be red and take risks if they can't keep it!

When you and Sophie and the rest of the company are visiting Athens and enjoying the beautiful scenery, you should also be careful of the local Greek gangsters, but whenever you go ashore, you must be accompanied by security personnel."

"Understand, Steven, we're going to be careful, the security guards who come with the ship aren't decorations."

Jason responded, with confidence in his words.

Next, the two chatted for a while before ending the call.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian called Matisse into the office and said to him:

"Mattis, you go back and tell Wilson of Raytheon to have the security personnel hired by us set off and sail to the sea off the Andy Kithira Strait, waiting to join us.

Tomorrow morning, you will set off with a few men and fly straight to Athens to make a front stop for us, we have just fought against the scum of 'our cause', and this exploration must be extremely cautious."

"Okay, Steven, leave these things to us, nothing will go wrong"

Matisse nodded in response, his expression excited.

It's time for a new exploration to begin, and this must be another sensational exploration journey for the world, can you not feel excited?
