Columbia University, in a small reception room in the College of General Education.

Ye Tian was drinking mellow coffee, laughing and chatting with Professor Kane and Professor Douglas, and watching the live broadcast on the big screen TV in front of him.

On a two-seater couch not far away, Betty and Professor Melissa were sitting together, chatting intimately and watching live television from time to time.

The big-screen television was a live broadcast of the Pope and his entourage returning to Rome, Italy, after a 10-day visit to the United States.

The Pope and his entourage had just finished their visit to Philadelphia, so they were at Philadelphia International Airport at this time, preparing to take off from there for a direct flight to Rome, Italy.

And the Bishop of Kent, who rushed back to Manhattan yesterday to receive the two outstanding paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo, has already left the United States one step ahead!

Early this morning, they took off from New York's JFK International Airport on a chartered flight back to the Vatican!

He left the United States with several Vatican clergy led by Leonardo, and more than a dozen heavily armed members of the Swiss Guard!

And, of course, Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's Mourning Christ, two priceless and top-notch works of art.

It would be around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the Pope's motorcade had not yet arrived at Philadelphia International Airport, but the Pope's plane was ready on the runway and ready to take off.

"Steven, your wedding to Betty was so grand and dreamy, it was everyone's dream wedding, and I still have an incredible feeling when I think about it.

Here, I would like to thank you and Betty again for inviting me and Melissa to your wedding, if it weren't for your invitation, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet the Pope and shake hands with the Pope."

Professor Kane said with emotion, with a little gratitude, appreciation and envy in his words and eyes.

As soon as his words fell, Douglas next to him immediately said:

"Me too, Steven, thank you and Betty for the invitation, I never imagined that I would one day meet His Majesty the Pope in person, and be so close to him!

What's more, we shook hands with His Holiness the Pope and received blessings, and you don't know that from the moment we shook hands until we returned to New York, Lola was in a state of near madness!"

"Hahaha"

Ye Tian and Professor Kane, as well as Betty and Melissa next to them, everyone laughed.

At the same time, both Kane and Melissa nodded in agreement.

At that time, their state was not like this, it felt like a dream, they were in the clouds, and they were almost unable to find the north!

When the laughter fell, Ye Tian said politely:

"Kane, Melissa, and Douglas, you are Betty's teacher, my elder and friend, how could I not invite you to Betty's wedding?

It was a serendipitous thing to invite His Holiness the Pope to officiate at our wedding, and the result of this was something for everyone, which is exactly what I wanted."

"Indeed, Steven, everyone who attended your and Betty's wedding left with great joy and a great honor to be there.

But when I think of the two top artworks you gave away, I feel a lot of pain, and you, the lucky guy, if you were someone else, who would be willing to do it?"

Kane smiled and nodded, and sighed a few words, and there was a bit of admiration in his eyes.

That's two top works of art worth about a billion dollars! How many people can give them away for nothing without even blinking an eyelid?

Who can play such a shocking extravagance? It is estimated that there is no one else in this world except for this extremely lucky guy in front of him!

Others are generous enough even if they have the bearing and the heart, but only if they have the outstanding works of Raphael and Michelangelo in their hands!

How many people in this world can have outstanding paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo at the same time?

Except for a few of the best museums, such as the Louvre, there are probably none!

After chatting for a while, Ye Tian and the two professors changed the topic.

Betty and Melissa, on the other hand, whispered on the couch next to them, both of them frowning, chatting happily, giggling a few times.

"Steven, tell me about the Golden City, when are you going to go to Honduras to explore the Golden City? As far as I know, there are already a lot of people flocking to the ancient city of Copán in Honduras.

Among those guys are professional treasure hunters, treasure hunt companies, explorers, and many Honduran locals, including the Honduran government, all heading for the Golden City."

Professor Douglas asked, pretending to be curious, that was what he was most concerned about.

Ye Tian looked at the famous Latin American historian, and then said with a smile:

"I also have some understanding of what you said, and I chose this season to explore the treasures of the Golden City near the ancient city of Copan, and I have to say, those guys are out-and-out idiots!

As far as I know, the fools who rushed to the vicinity of the ancient city of Copán to explore the treasures of the Golden City, instead of finding the Golden City, paid a terrible price, with countless casualties.

The current ancient city of Copán is not only full of storms, but also has become a bloody killing field, full of blood and fire, and those greedy fools seem to be sacrificing for the Mayan civilization!"

Kane and Professor Douglas looked at each other, then nodded in unison, their expressions becoming much more solemn.

For these situations, they have also heard of them, and they know that what Ye Tian said is true!

Without the slightest pause, Ye Tian continued:

"As for when we will team up to go to Honduras and explore the legendary Golden City, the exact time has not yet been determined, but it is certainly not now, and we don't want to run to death now!

As you know, Honduras is a country that is poor, backward, rotten to the roots, and has little credibility to speak of.

I don't need to hide it from you, someone from Honduras has already approached me and asked for the six-pointed golden scepter head, which symbolizes the royal power of the Mayan Empire, but I directly refused.

But I didn't mean it, and during the meeting, I made it very clear that we could work with the Honduran government to jointly explore the Golden City, just as we had explored the treasures of Lima.

The details of how to cooperate, how to distribute the treasures of the Golden City, and so on, have not yet been discussed, so there is no need to rush these things, and there is time to negotiate slowly."

Hearing this, Professor Douglas's eyes suddenly lit up, shining like two searchlights.

Before Ye Tian's words fell, he couldn't wait to grab the conversation.

"Steven, if you're going to Honduras to explore the Golden City, then be sure to bring us with you at Columbia University's School of History, just like the last time the tripartite joint expedition to the treasures of Lima.

You're right, Honduras is a rotten country with incredibly poor, volatile and gang-ridden murder rates in the world.

If you're working with Honduras to explore the Golden City, you really have to be wary of them turning their backs at any moment, because they really don't have any credibility to speak of, which is notoriously good.

However, if we, the School of History of Columbia University, joined the team, with the huge influence of our university, the Honduran government would have a little more scare even if it wanted to turn the other cheek!

Just like when we jointly explored the treasures of Lima before, we have no coveting of the large number of gold and silver treasures that may exist in the Golden City, we only do relevant archaeological research and interpret history!

Whether it's for you, the Intrepid Exploration Company, or the Honduran government, Columbia University's School of History, joining the joint exploration team is only good, not harm."

Obviously, in the last tripartite joint exploration operation, the famous Latin American historian in front of him, as well as the Columbia University School of History behind him, have tasted great sweetness!

With the release of some important research results on the treasures of Lima, Columbia University's School of History and Professor Douglas have attracted a lot of attention and reaped great fame and fortune!

At this time, this kind of God-given opportunity is once again in front of us, and it is a more famous golden city that has been passed down for thousands of years in Central and South America, where will Douglas let go of this opportunity!

Ye Tian knew what Douglas was thinking and what he wanted to get.

And he also does not rule out the reintroduction of Columbia University for cooperation, which is a win-win good thing, and what reason is there to refuse?

Ye Tian looked at Professor Douglas and smiled, and was about to speak.

At this moment, a sharp knock on the door suddenly came from outside the reception room, which directly interrupted his words.

Immediately afterward, a bespectacled white man in his early fifties pushed the door open and walked into the reception room, his expression extremely excited.

After entering the reception room, before he could gain a firm foothold, he looked at Ye Tian excitedly and said:

"Steven, we've deciphered that mysterious Arabic text, and behind that mysterious text, there is probably a huge secret hidden"
