At around half past two in the afternoon, Ye Tian and his motorteam arrived at the Metropolitan Museum.

At this time, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the surrounding area remained heavily guarded and tense, with heavily armed New York police officers on high alert.

As soon as Ye Tian's convoy arrived, it stopped on the side of the fifth main road in front of the museum, and the New York police immediately blocked the north-south road of Fifth Avenue and the opposite street, and set up a cordon.

At the same time, Mattis got out of the car with a large number of heavily armed security personnel, set up a defensive line around the convoy, and watched the situation around him vigilantly.

Immediately afterwards, Thomas, the director of the Metropolitan Museum, came out with several museum executives and a large number of security personnel, along with Jason and Cole.

At the same time that they came to the front, Ye Tian and David had also gotten out of the car and landed on the square in front of the Metropolitan Museum.

"Good afternoon, Steven, you guys are here, the shootout near our museum in the morning, and the series of shootouts in Central Park and Lower Manhattan, all have something to do with you, right?"

Before he could gain a foothold, Thomas asked in a whispered eagerly, his eyes full of concern.

Ye Tian nodded lightly, smiled and whispered:

"Good afternoon, Thomas, you guessed right, the series of shootouts that took place in Manhattan this morning are indeed related to us, and the reason why I didn't tell you when I called in the morning was because I was afraid that you would be worried.

When we were exploring the Templar Order's treasures in Europe, those guys had been following the joint exploration team, waiting for an opportunity, but unfortunately they never found the right opportunity to rob it.

When we returned to New York, we would have thought that those guys would still be thieves and chase them all the way to New York, trying to loot the gold and silver treasures and top antiques from the Knights Templar's treasures.

When we left the office in the morning, we found the traces of those guys, and immediately notified the New York police to have the police come forward to deal with them, so there was a series of shootouts that followed.

The performance of the New York police is not bad, and they have basically caught all those guys, even if there are fish that slip through the net, they will not be able to make any waves, let alone affect the art trade between us."

Hearing his words, Thomas couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and whispered angrily:

"Dealing with this guy of yours is not only a matter of being slaughtered, but you also have to be afraid of being drawn into great danger at all times, and the risk is too great.

Those idiots from Europe are all about to loot you, cunning guy, and I don't know what they think, what a self-defeating death!"

"Don't worry, Thomas, those idiots are coming at me, and I'm confident enough to take them out without putting you in danger.

As for who those guys are, you don't need to know, so it's better, lest you learn the identity of those guys and cause some unnecessary trouble."

Ye Tian smiled and shook his head and said, his words full of confidence.

"Well, I won't ask so much, lest I bother myself, and to get down to business, these armoured transports must be filled with antiques and religious items from the Knights Templar, right?

The Chinese antiques and rare books that our museum took out for trading, Betty and the others have already counted them, and there are many of them, now they are waiting for you to confirm in person, and then you can seal the box!

At your request, priceless Chinese paintings and calligraphy artworks such as "White Picture in the Night" and "Bamboo Bird" have been removed from the exhibition hall, and you can personally authenticate them to determine their authenticity."

"That's right, Thomas, these armoured transports contain antiques and religious items from the Knights Templar's treasures, each of which is of great value and significance.

You can start moving now, and our employees will cooperate to move these treasures into the Metropolitan Museum, and when you finish counting and signing off, these treasures will belong to you."

"Great, Steven, let's get started, to be honest, I can't wait to put those top antiques and religious items from the Middle Ages on display in the museum right away"

"Me too, Thomas, I can't get those top Chinese antiques and complete this art deal right away, since everyone is so urgent, what are you waiting for?

As he spoke, Ye Tian made a gesture of please, and gestured to the armored escort vehicles parked on the side of the road.

Next, many of the Met's security personnel escorted the convoy to the Met's internal parking lot, along with Mattis.

Ye Tian and Thomas naturally followed, directing and supervising the staff of both sides to carry those antique artifacts and religious items from the treasures of the Knights Templar on the spot.

Soon, more than an hour had passed.

Antiques and religious items from the Knights Templar's treasures have been removed from five armoured escorts and moved into the Metropolitan Museum's vault, where they are temporarily stored.

It won't be long before valuable medieval antiques and religious objects will be officially unveiled to the public in the exhibition halls of the Metropolitan Museum and the Monastery.

After completing these tasks, under the leadership of Thomas, Ye Tian and his party came to a large conference room located in the office area of the museum.

As soon as he walked into the conference room, Ye Tian saw Betty and Jason, as well as dozens of portable safes placed in the conference room, some large and some small.

The boxes were so numerous that they filled the entire conference table, including quite a few on the floor.

Seeing Ye Tian and them coming in, Betty and Jason immediately greeted them.

Before approaching, Betty immediately began to report the situation to Ye Tian.

"My dear, the Chinese antiques and rare books that the Metropolitan Museum of Art trades are here, in these portable safes, exactly as marked on the transaction contract.

However, the authenticity of these Chinese antiques and rare books still needs to be verified by you, and once the authentication is correct, these portable safes can be locked up and transported away.

In the brown safe at the front of the conference table contains the famous Tang Dynasty painter Han Gan's "White Picture of the Night", according to your advice, we are very careful, that painting is intact."

Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but hugged Betty and whispered a few words in her ear.

Then he turned his head to look at Thomas again, and then said with a smile:

"Thomas is an old friend of ours, and the Met has not traded with our company once or twice, and I am sure they will not use some fakes to deceive us.

Due to time reasons, it is not realistic for me to appraise so many top Chinese antique artworks and rare books one by one, in that case, it is estimated that I will not be able to complete the appraisal by noon tomorrow.

Except for the portable safe containing the "White Picture of the Night", the other portable safes can be locked, and when I finish appraising the "White Picture of the Night", we will leave the Metropolitan Museum."

It was a beautiful remark, and the guys at the Met listened to it very comfortably, nodding their heads frequently.

Of course, they all felt a lot of pain, and a trace of regret flashed in the eyes of several of them, and they knew that they would do something about it!

In fact, as soon as he entered this conference room, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective and thoroughly saw through every portable safe placed in the conference room, as well as the treasures in the box.

The quantity, authenticity, and preservation status of those top Chinese antique artworks and rare books were instantly clear to him, and he knew better than anyone else.

He was well aware that the Met was not playing tricks in this transaction, trying to deceive itself by indiscriminately filling up the numbers with imitations or fakes.

That's why he behaved so generously and brightly, directly omitting the links of identification one by one, and saving a lot of trouble.

With his words, Jason and the others immediately took action, stepped forward one after another, and locked the portable safes one by one.

Later, when Ye Tian stepped forward and personally entered his fingerprints and passwords, he could transport these portable safes.

Looking at Jason's movements, Thomas and several other high-level officials of the Metropolitan Museum of Art had a look of pain on their faces, and their facial muscles twitched slightly.

But this heavyweight art deal, which caused a huge sensation, has long been a foregone conclusion, and even if you regret it, you can't change anything.

The performances of these old friends at the Metropolitan Museum were all seen by Ye Tian, and he also understood their feelings very well.

However, understanding is understanding, if you want to tear up the transaction contract and keep these top Chinese antique artworks and rare books in the Metropolitan Museum, Ye Tian will never agree, it is no fun at all!

The place where these priceless treasures should exist is in China and not in any other hellish place!

It is only in China, in their own private showrooms and museums in Beijing, that they shine brightest!
