Chapter 1651 Cultural Relics Gendarme
As soon as Ye Tian and the others appeared in the terminal of Peretola Airport, they immediately caused a sensation.
"Look, that Steven guy is coming to Florence, and that's not good news for Florence, the art capital of the world!"
"Wow! What a ruthless and lucky fellow, and if they had known the news, the Florentine antique dealers would have trembled.
Not long ago, Steven ransacked almost the entire south of France, sweeping through countless valuable antiques and artworks.
Now he's in Florence again, this guy has never been a thief, and the antique art market in Florence is bound to encounter a hurricane, and there is a good show to see now!"
Compared with some European countries and cities that I have visited before, Italians have a much better and friendly impression of Ye Tian.
After pushing the luggage out of the VIP channel, there were people who kept greeting Ye Tian, including passengers who came down from other flights and people who were waiting outside the guardrail to pick them up.
"Good morning, Steven, welcome to Florence and thank you for returning Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's Mourning Christ to Italy and to the Vatican!"
"Hello Steven, I wish you all a wonderful time in Florence, in Italy, and enjoy this trip!"
For these people who greeted them warmly, Ye Tian responded with a smile and nodded gently, showing a very friendly expression!
Like all major airports, Peretola Airport is a perennial crowd of media reporters at the exit of the international arrivals lane, waiting for the news.
As soon as Ye Tian and the others appeared, they were discovered by these sharp-eyed guys.
Immediately afterwards, these media reporters raised their cameras and video cameras one after another, and shot wildly at Ye Tian, and the sound of the shutter clicked instantly.
When Ye Tian and the others were about to walk to the exit of the guardrail, these guys immediately couldn't wait to start asking questions loudly, scrambling one by one, and they were extremely excited.
"Good morning, Steven, I'm a Corriere della Sera, why did you come to Florence this time? Could it be that you're here to explore the treasures? Can you tell us about it?"
"Hello, Steven, I'm a reporter for Italian television, what you did in the south of France before has spread all over Europe, this time in Florence, will you do it again?"
For these questions, Ye Tian did not answer immediately, but only responded with a smile.
It wasn't until he reached the exit of the guardrail that he stopped, quickly glanced at the many media reporters at the scene, and then said with a smile:
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you all here, Florence is a very beautiful and artistic city that I've been looking forward to for a long time!
We are here to travel, and I am fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Florence and the priceless and top-notch works of art at the Uffizi Museum, which is why I came to Florence!"
Hearing this, many media reporters, pedestrians and tourists coming and going, and airport staff at the scene rolled their eyes angrily and complained secretly.
I'm afraid even the ghosts won't believe you!
In Paris, in London, in Brussels, in Nice, in many other cities, when you first arrive, you seem to say that you are here for tourism, for the beautiful scenery!
But what is the result? Which of these cities has escaped the clutches of you? Which city has not been ransacked by you? Lost a lot of valuable antiques and even treasures!
How could Florence be an exception! I guess I can't escape the tragic fate of being ransacked by you guy, and the antique dealers and art dealers in the city are probably going to be in bad luck!
After casually dealing with a few words from media reporters, Ye Tian and the others walked out of the guardrail and joined Charlie who was waiting outside to greet them.
And, of course, Leonardo and the Swiss Guards.
Although Leonardo was a close confidant of the Pope and had a prominent position in the Vatican, he did not often appear in public, so not many people knew him, including many media reporters.
It is precisely because of this that he will lead the team to participate in future joint exploration operations, so that it is convenient to operate.
If many media reporters knew that he was a close confidant of the Pope, the scene would have already boiled, and the joint exploration of the Knights Templar's treasures would inevitably not be able to continue to be kept secret.
After standing still and chatting a few words from the VIP passage, Ye Tian and the others were ready to leave the terminal and take the car to Florence City.
At this moment, several guys in police uniforms suddenly appeared in front of them, and walked straight towards Ye Tian and them, all of them with solemn faces and gloomy expressions were about to drip water!
"Don't be nervous, Steven, these are Italian gendarmes, from Rome, I'll introduce you to each other."
Leonardo whispered, apparently knowing these Italian gendarmes.
Ye Tian shook his head lightly, smiled and whispered:
"Needless to say, Leonardo, I know all of them, I dealt with them in Boston and New York last year, and I also dealt with them in Paris not long ago, they are all old friends."
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian took Betty and Anderson and them, took two steps forward, and greeted the Italian police officer who led him warmly.
"Good morning, Giovanni, long time no see, how are you doing? How did you know I was coming to Florence?
Ye Tian was joking as he stretched out his right hand, ready to shake hands with the other party, like an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time!
Came all the way to greet him?
I wish you bastard would never come to Italy, you bastard's arrival means that a lot of people are going to be unlucky!
Giovanni complained to himself angrily, not to mention how depressed he was.
Of course, this is only his mental activity, and it is impossible to say it in public.
He stretched out his hand and shook Ye Tian's hand, and whispered with a gloomy face:
"Good morning, Steven, it's been a long time, thank you for your concern, my job is not bad, if you don't come to Italy, my job will be a little easier.
I know Leonardo and I know what you're going to work with, which is why I'm here, and my men will always follow you for some time to come."
"Hahaha"
There was a chuckle of laughter, and Betty and Anderson all laughed.
"Your people always follow us, that's also very good, it means that we have a few more free bodyguards, and we can definitely avoid some unnecessary troubles, I can't ask for it!"
Ye Tian smiled and whispered, his expression was very relaxed, and he didn't take these Italian cultural relics gendarmes seriously at all.
Looking at his calm and breezy expression, Giovanni and several cultural relics gendarmes behind him hated it, but they were helpless.
"Steven, we welcome you to Italy and Florence, and we have no right to interfere with the cooperation between you and Leonardo, but will only supervise from the sidelines.
In the process, I hope that you will be restrained and not too ostentatious, and when you leave Italy, I want you to take with you only good memories and photos, and nothing else!"
Giovanni said in a low voice, his words and eyes full of warning.
Obviously, Ye Tian's brilliant achievements in the past have made these guys frightened, and they are afraid that Ye Tian will ransack Florence and even the whole of Italy, so they issued a warning!
Ye Tian looked at these old friends, then smiled and whispered:
"Don't worry, Giovanni, we never do anything against the law, in New York and in Italy, as you should know.
However, I'm a treasure hunter by profession and I think I have a good eye for it, and I wouldn't turn a blind eye to an overlooked or forgotten piece of antique art.
In Italy, the cradle of European culture, and in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, I am sure that there will be surprising discoveries, so it will be worth the trip!"
Hearing his words, Giovanni couldn't help but clench his fists hard, and wanted to punch the hateful smiling face in front of him, so as to vent his evil anger!
But he knew very well in his heart that he would never do that, unless he didn't want to mess around!
Not to mention the terrifying force of Steven's gang and the ruthless revenge methods without taboos, these people from the Vatican and the Holy See alone can't afford to provoke themselves!
After chatting a few more words, Ye Tian and the others said goodbye and left, pushed their luggage and continued to walk forward, walking towards the gate of the airport terminal.
Giovanni and several of his men discussed a few words in a low voice, and immediately followed, intending to follow closely!
Walking out of the airport terminal gate, the convoy is already waiting at the door.
There are eight black Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUVs parked at the entrance of the terminal one after another, four of which are bulletproof cars, provided by Raytheon Security, and the other four are ordinary SUVs, and the performance and protection capabilities are also good!
Before getting into the car, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective as usual and thoroughly saw through the eight SUVs.
After making sure there was no danger, he took Betty to a bulletproof SUV in the middle, and Anderson and the others boarded the other vehicles one after another.
As for Leonardo and several members of the Swiss Guards, they could only continue to wait at the terminal gate, their car was last in line, and they could only drive to the terminal gate later.
Soon, the convoy was up and running, slowly leaving the Peretola airport terminal and heading straight for the old town of Florence.
This was followed by Leonardo's two SUVs, followed by Giovanni's Italian gendarmes and two police cars.
