Ye Tian rested for a while, then got up and sat down in the living room, quietly admiring the Parthenon standing on the top of the Acropolis through the tall floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

He was waiting for the sun to rise, casting its golden rays on the Parthenon, the ancient city of Athens, a moment that must have been too beautiful to be missed.

Many of the tourists staying in this five-star hotel, as well as many of those who come to visit Athens, have the same idea and get up and wait for the sun to rise.

The horizon in the east is getting brighter and brighter, and the previous white of the fish belly has been replaced by a fiery red morning glow.

As the night fades, Athens, an ancient city with a history of more than 3,000 years, is slowly waking up and preparing for a new day.

The landscape lights on the top of the Acropolis were extinguished, and in an instant, the Parthenon, which was originally resplendent and splendid, suddenly dimmed, and even the sky of Athens seemed to be much darker.

Suddenly, a golden ray of sunlight cast from the sky and shone on the east-facing side of the Parthenon, as if to paint the quaint and solemn temple with a layer of gold dust.

In particular, the tall Dorian stone pillars, as if made of gold, supported the ancient but dilapidated Parthenon, radiating the light of civilization.

The sun rose higher and higher, and sprinkled golden sunlight all over the Parthenon and on the top of the Acropolis, completely dispelling the darkness.

Athens, an ancient city with a history of more than 3,000 years, has completely awakened and is a new day.

Seeing this dazzling and beautiful scene, many rooms in this five-star hotel where Ye Tian was, as well as many places in Athens, all resounded with bursts of exclamation.

"Wow! It's so beautiful, it's like a miracle!"

"It's so shocking, it's a great idea to build the Parthenon on the top of the Acropolis, the temple is like a lighthouse, and the light of civilization is sprinkled all over Athens"

Just when people were amazed, Ye Tian had already stood up from the sofa, strolled to the floor-to-ceiling window, and admired this beautiful and moving picture intoxicated, unconsciously immersed in it.

......

Time passed quickly, and it was ten o'clock in the morning.

After breakfast, Ye Tian was ready to leave the Coco Mart Hotel and go to the Acropolis Museum not far from the hotel.

At this moment, Jason's voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible headphones.

"Steven, those guys from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art have arrived, along with two guys from the U.S. Department of Culture, and they want to meet you."

Hearing this, a sneer immediately flashed on Ye Tian's face.

He knew exactly where these guys came from, and without exception, they were all here for the Roman or Hellenistic sculptures that might exist in the shipwreck treasure.

Compared with the Louvre, the British Museum, and the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, the strength of major museums in the United States is very different in terms of the collection and research of ancient Roman and Greek sculptures.

I heard that this shipwreck treasure is likely to contain sculptures from the Roman or Hellenistic periods, and those at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art could not afford to miss such a godsend.

When Ye Tian flew to Athens, the curators of these top museums in the United States called Ye Tian one after another, asking about the shipwreck treasure and expressing their willingness to buy some sculptures.

Not only that, but even the president of the United States called Ye Tian, hoping that he could ship all the ancient Roman or Hellenistic sculptures he found back to the United States.

If he plans to sell these valuable sculptures, he should also give preference to major American museums and top American collectors to keep those ancient sculptures in the United States.

When talking to these guys on the phone, Ye Tian did not give a clear answer, promised or refused, only said that it depends on the situation, and it is too early to say this.

However, considering that his brave and fearless exploration company in Manhattan, New York, and still have to deal with these guys and do business in the United States in the future, Ye Tian still gave these guys a little sweetness.

He promised them to send several experts and scholars who studied the sculpture art of ancient Rome and the Hellenistic period to participate in and witness the exploration of the ancient Roman shipwreck.

The U.S. Department of Culture and the Metropolitan Museum of Art moved quickly, Ye Tian and they had just arrived in Athens, and these guys rushed over after them.

After a little groaning, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Jason, I'm not going to meet with these guys for the time being, just rub them out, and say that I have something to do, I can't get away, you arrange a few rooms for these guys, let them stay first.

If nothing else, representatives of the Louvre in France and the British Museum in England, as well as several other famous museums, will soon rush to Athens, all of them will do so."

"Okay, Steven, I'll take care of it"

Jason answered, and ended the call.

Next, Ye Tian cleaned up a little, and then walked out of the presidential suite, met with David and several other company employees, and prepared to visit the Acropolis Museum next to the hotel.

In charge of protecting them were a large number of armed security personnel led by Mattis.

When they stepped out of the elevator and appeared in the lobby of the Coco Marta Hotel, they immediately caused a sensation.

The many tourists in the lobby of the hotel, as well as all the staff, as well as many Greek policemen and others from various sources, all looked at them and whispered to them.

"Wow! Steven has really come to Athens, and it seems that Athens will not escape the fate of being ransacked by madness, just like Paris and London, and other cities that were ransacked by this guy before!"

"If Steven is just here for the antiques of Athens and to explore the treasure of shipwrecks, then it's better to say that at least we won't be hurt by the fish in the pond, and we can see the excitement.

I'm afraid that if this guy turns Athens into a battlefield full of bullets and blood, then he will be in big trouble! You know, no matter where this guy goes, he will set off a huge storm!"

While people were talking, their eyes were also full of curiosity and endless envy when they looked at Ye Tian.

For these, Ye Tian and they had long been accustomed to it, and they also turned a blind eye, and their group walked through the hotel lobby with a smile and walked straight to the hotel door.

Several officials of the Greek Ministry of Culture waiting in the lobby of the hotel, as well as some Greek police officers in civilian clothes who specialize in crimes against cultural relics, followed and watched them closely.

Outside the hotel, heavily armed Greek police officers are on standby, vigilantly watching pedestrians and vehicles passing through the streets, ready to respond.

When he came to the door of the hotel and was about to walk out of the hotel gate, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective and quickly took a thorough look at the situation outside and across the hotel and several buildings on the street.

After making sure that there were no potential safety hazards, Ye Tian walked out of the hotel and came to the street outside under the protection of Matisse and them.

Standing at the door of the hotel, Ye Tian glanced at the situation on the street, and then said with a smile:

"Let's go, guys, let's go to the Acropolis Museum, and then go to the top of the Acropolis and admire the Parthenon, the symbol of Western culture."

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already stepped out and walked straight towards the Acropolis Museum, which was less than a hundred meters away.

David and Matisse followed, talking and laughing, and everyone was very relaxed, looking no different from other tourists who had come to Athens for a vacation.

But the Greeks who followed, whether they were officials from the Greek Ministry of Culture or heavily armed Greek policemen in civilian clothes or uniforms, could not be at ease.

Each of them was highly nervous and on high alert, keeping an eye on the movements around them, lest the gunshots suddenly rang out and a rain of bullets flew from a corner.

If that happens, with the ruthless behavior of Steven and his bastards, Athens will instantly become a battlefield of bullets.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

No gunshots rang out, no deadly bullets flew, and even the most common thieves on the streets of Greece seemed to be much less.

This made all the people who followed Ye Tian and them, and even every Greek and every tourist nearby, secretly relieved, not so nervous.

While speaking, Ye Tian and the others had already arrived at the door of the Acropolis Museum.

This is a modern and classical museum building, located at the foot of the Acropolis Mountain, covering an area of about 25,000 square meters, which is quite huge!

Built in 2009, the Acropolis Museum is very recent and different in style from the historic Acropolis Hill and the Parthenon at the top of the hill.

However, they are not in conflict with each other, but rather in harmony.

Standing in front of this famous museum, visitors have the feeling of being in a time tunnel, wandering between the past and the modern, which is very magical!

Standing in front of the museum, Ye Tian saw several old friends walking towards this side at a glance, the director of the Acropolis Museum, Pendemaris, and several famous antique art appraisal experts.

Obviously, these old friends have received the news and are welcome from the museum.
