After concluding the meeting with the Pope and Bishop Kent, Ye Tian and the others left the Vatican and went to a five-star hotel not far from the Vatican.
When they left the Vatican, the Pope also invited them to stay in a hotel attached to the Vatican or in the small building where they had lived before, but Ye Tian politely declined.
He does not want to put all his actions in Rome under the eyes of others. Even if the Vatican is a friend but not an enemy, it will basically not pose any threat.
Not long after arriving at the hotel, some old friends called him one after another, asking why he suddenly appeared in Rome instead of Jerusalem as everyone thought, and whether he had discovered any treasure in Rome.
In response to these inquiries that were full of curiosity or had ulterior motives, Ye Tianquan dealt with them casually on the pretext that he came to Rome mainly to thank the Pope for his canonization.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.
Derek and several company employees knocked on the door and walked into the presidential suite where Ye Tian lived. These guys pushed two luggage carts with seven or eight huge metal suitcases stacked on them.
After entering the living room, Derek pointed to the suitcases and said:
"Steven, what are contained in these suitcases are the fragments of statues that Erwin and the others collected in Rome according to your instructions. Some of them come from all over Italy, as well as from Greece and surrounding areas"
As soon as he finished speaking, Erwin, who had been staying in Rome before, continued:
"Stephen, the statue fragments in these boxes all have some characteristics of ancient Greek sculptures. The important thing is that the marble used for the carvings is exactly the kind of marble you specified.

As for whether these statue fragments are what you are looking for, you need to identify them yourself. I hope these fragments are exactly what you are looking for, so that our time during this period will not be in vain.
During the process of collecting these statue fragments, the Italian Carabinieri have been keeping a close eye on us, even secretly intercepting and checking these statue fragments, but found nothing."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately nodded and said with a smile:
"Well done, Erwin, open these suitcases and let me see these ancient statue fragments. As for the Italian Carabinieri, they have no way of knowing which famous sculpture these statue fragments came from."
Derek and Erwin nodded, and then took the extremely heavy metal suitcases off the luggage cart, lined them up, and placed them on the floor.
Then they opened the suitcases one by one.
What appeared in front of everyone were piles of tattered fragments of marble statues, some large and some small, with different shapes. Some of them could still see their outlines, and some could not even tell which part of the statue they came from. .
The moment he saw the fragments of these statues, David's eyes immediately flashed with understanding and a bit of excitement. He had already guessed what treasures were inside these statues!
But deep in Ye Tian's eyes, a flash of ecstasy flashed, fleeting.
Next, he pretended to look at the statue fragments carefully, then picked out a few statue fragments and carefully placed them on the solid wood coffee table.
Among these marble statue fragments, including the right foot of a female sculpture, is the most complete among them. The other statue fragments are relatively small, and it is unclear which part of the statue they came from.
After picking out these statue fragments, Ye Tian looked at the other statue fragments, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"Erwin, tomorrow you will take these statue fragments I picked out and fly directly to Beijing on my private plane. Someone will pick you up in Beijing and receive these statue fragments.
As for the other statue fragments, although they are not what I am looking for, they are all statue fragments from ancient Greece and still have certain artistic value. Let’s take them back to New York! ”
"Okay, Steven"
Erwin nodded in response. Although he was very curious, he didn't ask any more questions.
Next, Ye Tian gave Erwin, Derek and others a few more words and asked them to leave the presidential suite.
After they left, David finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked in a low voice excitedly:
"Steven, are these ancient Greek statue fragments you just picked out, are they all fragments of the Statue of Athena? They are the only "Athena" left in the world by Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture. Like "part of"?
Ye Tian looked at this guy, then nodded triumphantly and said:
"Yes, the right foot of this statue standing on tiptoes on the ground is exactly the right foot of Phidias's statue of the goddess Athena. The other fragments also come from the statue of the goddess Athena, but what exactly is it? The fragments of the parts still need to be studied!
The shapes and lines on these statue fragments are full of the charm of ancient Greek idealism, simple and elegant, and full of power. This is completely consistent with the artistic style of the fragments of statues of the goddess Athena that I collected before!
Counting these statue fragments, I have collected nearly 85% of the fragments of Phidias' "Statue of Athena". Before the private museum in Beijing is built, I hope to collect more than 95% of this famous statue. of fragments.
When my private museum opens, the greatest classical sculpture in the Western world, the Statue of Athena, will stand at the entrance of the ancient Greek and Roman sculpture halls and become a symbol of Western civilization. ! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian walked to the fragment of the right foot of "The Statue of Athena" and began to admire it intoxicatedly.
David, who was on the side, exclaimed in a low voice first, then stepped forward and began to admire these priceless statue fragments.
……
Soon, the time came to the afternoon.
Ye Tian and the others left the room and prepared to visit the Vatican Museum and appreciate the many antique works of art displayed in that top museum.
Of course, Ye Tian also has another ulterior purpose, which is to go to the Vatican Museum to plunder spiritual energy to make himself stronger.
When a group of them got out of the elevator and walked into the hotel lobby, they saw several familiar old friends at a glance.
The leader is none other than Giovanni of the Italian Cultural Relics Gendarmerie, as well as his subordinate Pizarro and some other guys.
Seeing these guys, Ye Tian immediately stopped and looked at these familiar old friends with a smile.
At the same time, Giovanni also came towards them with a group of his men, and everyone's eyes were full of fear.
As they approached, the two parties naturally exchanged polite greetings and shook hands. At first glance, they looked like old friends they hadn’t seen for a long time!
After going through these scenes, Giovanni whispered:
"Steven, can you tell me frankly, what is the purpose of your coming to Italy this time? Don't say you are here for tourism, no one will believe such nonsense!"
Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then said with a smile:
“Don’t be nervous, Giovanni, you guessed it right, our visit to Rome this time is indeed not a tourist trip, although the scenery of Italy at this time of the year is beautiful and worth a visit!
You must have heard that our company is about to cooperate with the Israelis to explore a legendary and famous treasure. In fact, there is a third party in this joint exploration operation.
This third party is the Vatican, which we have cooperated with before. The reason why I came to Rome this time is to communicate with the Vatican before signing the joint exploration agreement!
In addition, I also want to thank His Majesty the Pope. As you know, at the Sunday Mass in early June, His Majesty the Pope personally canonized my wife and children. Of course I have to express my gratitude."
After hearing this explanation, the expressions of Giovanni and his men relaxed and seemed to relax a little.
Next, Ye Tian chatted with these old friends for a few more words, then said goodbye and left, taking David and the others out of the hotel.
Looking at their leaving figures, Pizarro asked gloomily:
"Boss, do you believe what Steven just said? I don't really believe it!"
Giovanni shook his head firmly, then gritted his molars and whispered:
"I don't believe a word of it. Anyone who believes it is an out-and-out idiot. Steven, this greedy bastard, must have an ulterior motive when he comes to Rome. Our mission is to keep an eye on this bastard. Can’t relax for a moment!”
After the words fell, the Italian cultural relics gendarmes on the scene all nodded in unison, somewhat sharing the same hatred.
Afterwards, Giovanni led these men out of the hotel, followed Ye Tian and the others from a distance, and walked towards the Vatican Museum not far away!
