It was the fourth day of arrival in Florence and the sun was shining and the weather was very nice.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and the others sat in the living room of the presidential suite, drinking coffee while enjoying the scenery of the old city of Florence through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, which was very comfortable.

As always, yesterday's sweep of the Florentine antique art market went very well and was a success!

In this ancient city, known as the capital of art, Ye Tian found a lot of valuable and neglected antique artworks, many of which were top-notch.

Faced with such an opportunity, it was natural that he could not miss it, which was one of the main purposes of his visit to Florence.

With almost negligible prices, he successfully acquired a lot of valuable antique artworks through various techniques and means, and ransacked the antique art market in Florence.

As for the antique works of art of relatively average value, they were sold by Bowie, who followed behind, and all of them were in his pocket.

Even some antique shop owners and gallery owners are very cautious, in order to avoid being ransacked by Ye Tian, they have asked for a price, and even made it clear that they will not do his business.

However, they still could not avoid the tragic fate of being looted.

These antique dealers and gallery owners imagined that Ye Tian had prepared a backhand to deal with them and deal with this situation long before he came to Florence.

His back hand is none other than Bowie, who has a London accent.

For a whole day, almost all the antique shops and galleries of the old town of Florence that were a little famous and large, as well as large and small galleries, were visited by Ye Tian and them.

Everywhere they passed, it was like being swept away by a hurricane, and there was a lot of mourning, but all the antique works of art that had some value and were ignored were swept away by them, and there was not a single hair left.

But the antique shopkeepers and gallery owners who were ransacked in a frenzy were in a daze and had no idea what they had lost.

It wasn't until dusk, near the end of the sweep, that at the behest of a gallery owner, Ye Tiancai explained in public a classical oil painting he had just bought.

It is an outstanding painting by Titian, the top master of art in the late Renaissance, the most famous painter of the Venetian school, known as the 'sun among the stars'.

Moreover, it is a painting of Titian's later years, which is almost impossible to come across in the art market, and the artistic value is extremely high, and the market value is naturally extraordinary.

After explaining the classical oil painting of Titian, he gave an estimate on the spot, the value of the painting was not less than 180 million euros, and if it was auctioned, it would definitely fetch a higher price.

The moment he gave his estimate, the gallery owner almost fainted and died of a burst heart.

Afterwards, they left the famous gallery and drove back to the Villa Medici Hotel.

Before the convoy could return to the hotel, the news that Ye Tian had discovered and looted an outstanding painting of Titian in his later years spread, and the wind spread throughout Florence, causing a huge sensation.

Even many people in the field of antique art collecting in other cities in Italy, and even in other parts of the world, soon received the news, and they were all stunned and stunned.

After the news spread, the owners of the antique shops and the gallery owners who had been patronized by Ye Tian before suddenly realized that they must have been ransacked by Steven's bastard.

However, until this point, they still don't understand what is the value of what Steven's bastard bought from his store, and how much is it worth?

As the night passed, the sensation caused by the appearance of Titian's painting in his later years did not subside, but intensified.

Early this morning, two groups of people appeared at the door of the Villa Medici Hotel.

A group of petitioners, mainly students of the Florentine Academy of Fine Arts, but also a number of professional and amateur painters, begged Ye Tian to leave the Titian painting in Florence.

In their eyes, it is a rare and top-notch work of art, a spiritual treasure that belongs to the city of Florence and deserves to be left here.

The other crowd is mainly made up of antique dealers, large and small, as well as some ordinary Florentine citizens, and a few tourists who claim to be righteous but are actually full of food and have nothing to do!

They had come to protest against Ye Tian's insane ransacking of the Florentine antique art market, and to ask him to return the antiques and artworks that had been looted yesterday.

Whether it was a petition or a protest, Ye Tian didn't bother to take care of it, and simply ignored the noise at the door of the hotel.

As he spoke, it was nearly half past nine in the morning, and Cole's voice suddenly came through the headphones.

"Steven, the Italian gendarmes are here, and it's Giovanni who is leading the way, and besides, Mario from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence is here.

And the director of the Uffizi Gallery, and two top art experts, these guys are already in the hotel lobby, and they are asking to see you!"

After hearing the briefing, Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but raised his hand to look at the time, and then said with a smile:

"These guys must have heard the rumors, apparently coming for Titian's painting of his old age, and with the Italian way of doing things, we don't want to leave Italy with this painting at all.

Needless to say, as long as the Italian gendarmes saw this oil painting and determined that it was the work of Titian's later years, they would definitely put it on the list of artworks restricted from leaving the country as soon as possible.

There's still some time, and it's okay to meet those guys, but we're going to visit the Uffizi Gallery today, and if we turn away the director of the Uffizi Gallery, it's not appropriate to do so.

Let them come up, I'll be waiting for them in my suite, and someone from Sotheby's will be here later, just in time to do the appraisal together and build hype for future public auctions."

"Understood, Steven, I'll send someone to bring them up."

Cole replied in a deep voice and immediately went into action.

A few minutes later, Cole walked into the presidential suite with a group of Italians.

These guys are familiar faces, some of whom have dealt with before, such as the gendarmes of cultural relics, Mario of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, and a few others.

As for the director of the Uffizi Gallery and the two top art experts, although they had never met before, they had already seen their photos and heard their names.

Without exception, these guys are the top professionals in the field of antique art collecting, and each one of them is not simple.

After greeting each other and exchanging a few words of greeting, Giovanni said with a wry smile:

"It seems that we shouldn't have let this guy enter Italy at all, just like Paris, London, Nice and other cities, Florence has not escaped the poisonous hands, and has been ransacked by you guy!

In addition to the previous Botticelli painting and yesterday's work in Titian's later years, I wonder what other top antique artworks you have found, can you tell us about them?"

Hearing this, everyone at the scene immediately looked at Ye Tian, everyone's eyes were full of expectation and envy, and their eyes were almost red.

Ye Tian nodded lightly, then said with a triumphant smile:

"Florence is the capital of the arts, the birthplace of the Renaissance, there are so many good things that it is no exaggeration to say that the city is full of treasures.

In addition to the two fine works of art, I found a copy of Machiavelli's The Monarch, the first edition of 1513, but a little damaged,......"

Before the words fell, the scene was completely fried, and these Italians all hugged their heads and exclaimed, their expressions and tones exaggerated to the extreme.

"Oh my God, Machiavelli's Treatise on the Monarch, and it was the first edition in 1513, I heard it right, and there were only two copies of the first edition of the Monarch in all of Italy."

"If it is really the first edition of "The Monarch", then there is no doubt that it must be a national treasure of Italy, with great research value and incomparably precious!"
