Chapter 1526: The Wind Rises
As Ye Tian expected, the birth of Napoleon's treasure caused a huge sensation around the world, and countless eyes focused on Ye Tian and the secret room located deep underground!
Especially in European countries, it has set off huge waves.
While Ye Tian was talking to the camera lens and declaring his ownership of Napoleon's treasure, the French government authorities and police had already taken the lead in reacting.
From the French presidential palace and the office building where the Ministry of Culture is located, several cars drove out one after another, speeding all the way to the Avenue de la Chanunnes on the Île de la Cité!
The chief of the Île de la Cité police, who was close to Ye Tian and them, soon received a phone call from his immediate boss, the chief of the Paris police.
"We have just received a call from the president's office to cordon off the entire Île Cité, organize tourists and pedestrians to enter the island, and focus on preventing protesters from entering the Île de la Cité.
According to sources such as Sorbonne University and Second University, there are already calls for protest demonstrations on social media, targeting Steven's bastard!"
"Understand, boss, we will immediately lock off the Île de la Cité and will never let the protesters enter the island!"
The chief of the Île de la Cité police responded, his face was quite solemn and a little bitter.
Immediately afterwards, the police chief said to himself cleverly:
"Chief, the building where Napoleon's treasure is located is next door to us, and there are only two residences in between, so why bother with us sending some men to take over that building!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of the chief of the Paris police rang out in his ears.
"Stop, that's the stupidest piece of advice I've ever heard, if you don't want to retire early or go to jail, be honest, don't play any tricks!
I'd like to emphasize that you can't force your way into that historic building and get into a confrontation with Steven's goddamn bastards without getting orders from the top.
The U.S. ambassador is in that building, and if you force your storm, it is very likely to cause a major diplomatic incident, and at that time, all of us will be unlucky, and even roll up and go home.
That bastard Steven is so well prepared, in addition to the American ambassador, there are many senior lawyers there, and none of them are good at stubble, those guys can definitely eat us alive!
In addition, there are news outlets from all over the world, and it's going on live, so we can't find any excuse to fool the eyes of those news outlets.
With the usual style of that bastard Steven, we must have made all preparations, even if we launch an attack, we may not be able to take advantage, and maybe we will have to pay huge casualties!
The whole world knows that the building is his private property, and if we want to get into it, there is basically no way, and we can't handle it with just those lawyers.
If we were to attack, Steven's bastards would have fought back on the grounds of legitimate self-defense and the sanctity of protecting private property, and there would be no hesitation.
Due to the many entanglements, even if we pay a huge price, we may not be able to take the historical building and Napoleon's treasure, and we will also invite the bloody revenge of that bastard Steven!
Everyone knows now that Steven is a bastard who has nothing to do with murder, and if he succeeds in escaping the Île de la Cité, it will be a nightmare for everyone!"
Hearing the words of his immediate boss, the chief of the Cité Île Police couldn't help but shiver, and a bone-chilling cool air went straight to his head from his heels, which instantly sobered him up.
yes! Whoever has nothing to do and is fed to provoke Steven's murderous bastard, isn't that a clear way to kill himself, buddy hasn't lived enough!
In an instant, the chief of the Île de la Cité police threw all unrealistic thoughts out of the clouds and never dared to mention them again!
At the same time, the rest of Europe reacted.
In particular, those countries that had been ravaged and plundered by Napoleon's army were successively published in the news media and on the Internet.
They unanimously demanded that Ye Tian publicly display all the antiques and artworks in Napoleon's treasures, and claim in advance those treasures that once belonged to their country, including Austria!
At the same time as the public statement was made, the ambassadors and cultural counsellors of various countries in France had also set off for the Île de la Cité.
Their respective domestic cultural and heritage conservation departments are also running at high speed, some are ready to fly to Paris directly, and some are staying in China to do logistical support!
As for the Internet and various social media, there has long been a lot of noise, everyone has different positions, arguing with each other, and even attacking and insulting each other!
All of a sudden, the whole continent was buzzing with activity!
The initiator of all this is Ye Tian, and the eyes of everyone from all over the world are also gathered on him.
At this time, he had already made various arrangements, and he was ready to leave the living room and go to the basement to explore the secret passage that led to the depths of the underground.
At this moment, Martinez suddenly said expectantly:
"Steven, leaving aside the question of Napoleon's treasure, there is some truth to what you just said, and I know that I have no chance of convincing you.
I'd like to join you in your next quest to enter the secret chamber deep underground through the secret passages and see for yourself the top antique artworks that have disappeared for more than two hundred years.
As a professional in the field of antique art collection, I don't want to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life, and I hope you will grant my request!"
Ye Tian turned his head and took a deep look at this old friend, and after pretending to think about it, he nodded and said:
"No problem, Martinez, you can participate in our exploration, but you must follow our commands, only then can we ensure your safety.
You are the top professional in the field of antique art collecting, and it is good to have you with you, just in time to supervise our exploration and avoid some doubts!"
Hearing this, Martinez immediately nodded excitedly, and the old face instantly smiled like a flower, and all the furrows and folds magically disappeared.
"No problem, Steven, I will definitely obey the command, and I will definitely not cause you any trouble or interfere with the progress of the exploration!"
"That's good, let's go, the relevant equipment is in the basement, and then you can wear it after you get to the basement, and then you can enter the dark passage!"
After speaking, Ye Tian took the lead and walked towards the stairs, preparing to go to the basement.
Matisse and the others followed closely behind, followed by an excited Martinez.
The other people in the living room and the reporters wanted to follow along, but as soon as they walked together, they were stopped by Anderson and two security guards.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the basement space is limited, there is not room for too many people, and there is a certain danger, everyone should stay in this living room, it is safer here!
When Steven and the others start their exploration action, everything in front of them will appear in front of everyone's eyes synchronously through the projection equipment, which will definitely bring everyone an immersive feeling!"
Anderson said with a smile, but his tone was very firm and unquestionable.
Hearing this, the eager creatures had to stop, look at the side of the stairs, and then retreat back to their original positions.
Ye Tian's figure had disappeared from the staircase, and the two armed security personnel immediately walked to the staircase, like two door gods, guarding there!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had already entered the basement.
As soon as he entered the place, Martinez, the old fellow, rushed to the big pit that had been dug in excitement, wanting to see the situation in the dark tunnel for the first time.
But it's a pity that when he left here before, Ye Tian had already closed the iron gate again, and pressed two granite stones on the iron gate again, and the cover was sturdy, and he couldn't see anything!
"Hey, that's too cautious, Steven, you're in the living room above, is it necessary to seal the entrance to the secret passage again?"
Martinez said angrily, with a little regret and anticipation in his eyes.
"This treasure is too important, you can't be too careful, Martinez, come and get dressed, you can't move those two granite bars anyway!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, with a bit of smugness in his tone.
"That is, who can move these granite strips weighing hundreds of kilograms except for a monster like you, and they are not made of plastic!"
Martinez said jokingly, turning around and walking over to Ye Tian's side.
In less than ten minutes, everyone was dressed and ready to start the expedition.
Before turning on the high-definition camera he was wearing, Ye Tian deliberately walked up to Mattis's side and whispered to him:
"Mattis, after we enter the dark passage, the security of this basement, as well as the command of all the security personnel in the living room above and outside, will be handed over to you.
As I said before, everyone's safety always comes first, and everything else is secondary, including Napoleon's treasure in the underground vault.
We can handle this secret passage and the traps in the secret room, and there will be no problems, as long as you keep Betty and the others safe.
No one is allowed to enter this secret passage and secret room, and if anything happens, let those French lawyers come forward to deal with it, and if it doesn't work, let Perry and them come forward!"
"Understand, Steven, don't worry about exploring the treasure, we will guard this place, protect Betty and her sisters, and no one will try to take advantage of this!"
Matisse replied in a low voice, but in a categorical and confident tone.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, then turned around and walked towards the entrance of the dark passage.
