Chapter 1572： The lively Metropolitan Museum

Upper Manhattan, in front of the Metropolitan Museum.

At this time, the square next to Fifth Avenue was already crowded and bustling!

People from all over New York, from all over the United States, and many tourists from other countries in the world gathered here today, making it crowded.

Unlike the past, people who come here today have almost the same purpose.

That is to appreciate the two top art works of the three masters of Renaissance art, Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", and feel the charm of the top masters!

After disappearing for more than two hundred years, the Metropolitan Museum was chosen for the first public exhibition of these two top art works after their reappearance. How can such a godsend opportunity be missed.

More importantly, after the Metropolitan Museum's public exhibition, these two top art works will return to the Vatican, and once more than two hundred years have passed, they will once again become the collection of the Vatican!

In other words, this exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum is likely to be the only public exhibition of these two top artworks. If you want to appreciate them again in the future, you can only go to the Vatican!

For this, it depends on the attitude of the Vatican towards these two top artworks.

Whether they treat these two top art works as if they are forbidden and store them in places where tourists cannot reach them; or whether they will be placed in public places for people to appreciate, this is an uncertain thing!

Under such circumstances, how could people be willing to miss this opportunity, so they gathered in front of the Metropolitan Museum and looked forward to the start of the exhibition!

Many of these people rushed to New York from other places or even from other countries overnight, just to appreciate the two top art works for the first time!

In addition to many tourists and art lovers, there are also many professionals in the field of antique art collection, many of whom are old friends who are familiar with Ye Tian.

The first to bear the brunt is, naturally, the curator of the Metropolitan Museum, as well as other senior members of the Metropolitan Museum, as well as many top antique art appraisal experts.

They are all standing on the highest level of the steps in front of the Metropolitan Museum, looking down on the south side of Fifth Avenue. Everyone is extremely excited and full of expectations!

Of course, there are many New York police officers who maintain order, security personnel from art insurance companies, and security personnel from the Metropolitan Museum.

Due to the relatively long distance, the torrential gunfire in lower Manhattan did not reach here, and the order on the Metropolitan Museum Square was pretty good!

However, many New York police officers who maintain order here have received the news.

They immediately raised the alert level here to the highest level, watching the situation on the square vigilantly one by one, ready to respond.

Soon, many high-level officials and security personnel of the Metropolitan Museum also received relevant news, and their faces changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly, and their eyes filled with worry.

The last to receive news are the rest of the antique art professionals, as well as the largest number of tourists and art lovers on the square.

The news of the fierce gun battle in Lower Manhattan, like a hurricane, spread across the entire social network in an instant, causing a huge sensation!

Some pedestrians and tourists near the scene did not forget to take photos while avoiding stray bullets to increase the click-through rate of their homepage.

They posted pictures of the scene like a battlefield on the Internet and on all social media, and everyone knows it!

Contacting the scene before and after the shootout, some guys immediately inferred that this fierce and unusual police and robber shootout was related to the guy Steven and the two paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo!

Those robbers who are fighting the New York police desperately come to the guy Steven and the two top artworks, preparing to rob halfway!

But I don't know what happened. Instead of robbing them, those guys were bitten by the New York police. When the street fires merged, the killing was very lively!

It is estimated that those robbers were not careful enough and accidentally leaked the news before they were surrounded by the police; or they were overseen by Steven's cunning bastard. This possibility is very high!

After learning the news through various channels, the front door of the Metropolitan Museum immediately boiled like a pot!

"Gosh! It's crazy that someone tried to rob Steven, Raphael and Michelangelo's paintings halfway, and they are definitely a bunch of idiots!"

"That was the peak painting of the three masters of Renaissance art, each of which was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It is normal to be stared at, and it is not normal for no one to think of them!

And the guy Steven is too high-profile. He publicly announced early that he will send the two top artworks to the Metropolitan Museum for public exhibition today.

This is equivalent to publicly declaring to all robbers and art thieves, come and rob me if there is a species! It depends on whether you have this ability, and only a crazy guy like Steven dares to do this."

While the discussion continued, people were also extremely worried. They all looked towards the south of Fifth Avenue, looking forward to seeing the safe arrival of the **** convoy.

Some people who are cautious have even become afraid and are ready to turn around and leave here to avoid accidents!

However, where the guy Steven appeared, there must be turmoil, not to mention that he still carries two top art works of invaluable value, it is even more dangerous!

At this moment, the roar of a huge helicopter engine suddenly came over with the wind, and it passed into the ears of everyone in front of the Metropolitan Museum!

Immediately afterwards, an Airbus H155 medium-sized helicopter with sleek lines and elegant shapes broke into people's field of vision, whizzing from south to north along the Fifth Avenue!

The moment I saw the Airbus H155 medium-sized helicopter, cheers rang out in front of the Metropolitan Museum.

"Wow! Great, it was Steven’s helicopter. Steven and the others are finally here. Raphael’s "The Madonna" and Michelangelo’s "Mourning for Christ" are also here!"

"Finally I can witness the two top art works with my own eyes. Today is not in vain. It is worth waiting for this long time, although it is a bit thrilling!"

Everyone on the scene cheered, all excited, and instantly forgot the fierce gunfight that took place in Lower Manhattan, and cast aside their fear.

Especially the high-levels of the Metropolitan Museum were dancing with excitement. Everyone took a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot!

It would be a shame to lose the opportunity to show the peak works of Raphael and Michelangelo because of the idiots who are merging with the police in Lower Manhattan!

Fortunately, God bless, the guy Steven kept his promise, and finally came to the Metropolitan Museum with the two top artworks. This is undoubtedly the perfect result!

As for those robbers who are fighting with the police, it is best to all die, and don’t have one left. That way you can reduce a bit of garbage and save a lot of energy!

The cheers have not yet subsided, and the **** convoy has appeared in people's vision, and drove straight to the entrance of the Metropolitan Museum along Fifth Avenue.

In particular, the Paramount Predator that Ye Tian was riding in was a lot taller than the rest of the car, and it was also much wider than other cars. It was very eye-catching in the rolling traffic, like a group of chickens!

While talking, the **** convoy had driven to the front of the Metropolitan Museum. Several bullet-proof SUVs and an armored **** vehicle met end to end and stopped on the fifth road.

"Papa Papa"

Thunderous applause suddenly sounded, very warm, resounding through the entire square in front of the Metropolitan Museum and the entire Fifth Avenue!

Everyone here gave their own applause for Ye Tian and the others, and for the two top artworks that will be on display.

Amidst the applause, the many New York police officers who maintained order at the scene, as well as those New York police who escorted the convoy, moved quickly!

They set up two cordon around the **** convoy, separating the crowds of onlookers in the square, so as to avoid accidents. No one can afford the result.

Immediately afterwards, Matisse led many armed security personnel to get out of the car and set up another line of defense beside the Paramount Marauder car and the armored **** car!

Each of them is fully armed, wearing body armor, holding short assault rifles, and is always on high alert, keeping a close eye on the surrounding situation, ready to respond.

At the same time, a group of professionals, headed by the curator of the Metropolitan Museum, walked down the high steps together, hurried through the crowd, and came to the **** convoy.

You can see each of them has a bright smile on their faces, and their excited eyes shine straight!

After confirming that there was no danger at the scene, Matisse immediately whispered:

"Steven, you can get out of the car, the scene is safe"

The voice fell, and the rear door of the Paramount Predator opened immediately.

Soon after, Ye Tian got out of this behemoth and landed on the square in front of the Metropolitan Museum.

The door of a Chevrolet Saboban bullet-proof SUV opened immediately, and David and his assistant lawyer got out of the car and walked over here quickly.

"Good morning, Steven, long time no see, welcome to our Metropolitan Museum, nice to see you here"

A few meters away, the curator of the Metropolitan Museum greeted him, and the enthusiasm was a bit fake!
