Approaching ten o'clock in the morning, a banquet hall used by the Vatican to hold press conferences and announce all kinds of important news was full of seats, crowded with reporters from the world's major news media.
At this time, these uncrowned kings were sitting in their respective seats, staring at the empty seats on the podium in front of them, and looking at their watches from time to time. Everyone looked like they couldn't wait.
They are waiting for the press conference to start, and are whispering non-stop, guessing what will be announced at the press conference later.
"Where is the treasure that the Vatican is going to explore this time? It actually cooperated with that **** Steven, who doesn't know, that **** is notoriously greedy, is it really good to cooperate with such a guy?"
"What exactly is the treasure, the answer will soon be revealed! Although I don't like Steven very much, I have to admit that he is indeed the most outstanding professional treasure hunter in the world today!
His Brave Exploration Company is also the best treasure hunting company in the world today. Perhaps because of this, the Vatican chose to cooperate with his Exploration Company to jointly explore the treasure."
In the midst of buzzing discussions, the time has come to ten o'clock in the morning.
A side door in front of the banquet hall suddenly opened, and the Bishop of Kent and Ye Tian took the lead from the lounge behind the door, followed by David and another middle-aged white man in suit and leather shoes.
Next, there are several senior Vatican officials, all wearing priestly costumes.
After entering the banquet hall, the Bishop of Kent glanced at the scene first, then made a gesture of please, and then walked onto the rostrum with Ye Tian and sat down in the two seats in the middle of the rostrum.
David, the middle-aged white man who looked like a lawyer, and several other senior priests of the Vatican also took the stage one after another and sat down in their seats.
The originally noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet.
All the media reporters in the audience watched Ye Tian and Bishop Kent sitting in the center of the rostrum, waiting for the official start of the press conference.
Without exception, every uncrowned king on the scene is full of curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.
After Ye Tian and the others were all seated and the Bishop of Kent nodded and gave instructions, the Vatican press officer who presided over the press conference immediately stepped forward and kicked off the press conference.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, welcome to the Vatican. I am Julio. Next, I will be responsible for hosting this press conference.
Attending this press conference were representatives from the Vatican and from the Brave Exploration Company in New York, USA. Mr. Steven personally attended,..."
Following Julio's introduction, the representatives of the Vatican, Ye Tian and David sitting on the podium, stood up and greeted many media reporters on the scene.
After a regular opening remark, Julio finally talked about the topic that everyone cares about most.
"The reason why Mr. Steven of the Brave Exploration Company is here today is very simple. The Vatican will cooperate with his treasure hunting company to jointly explore a famous treasure.
This is also the main thrust of today’s press conference. Today we will announce the action plan for the two parties to jointly explore the treasure. The specific situation will be introduced by the Bishop of Kent."
Before the words were over, there was a commotion at the banquet hall.
Although these media reporters at the scene already knew that the joint exploration plan between the Vatican and the Brave Exploration Company would be announced today, everyone was still shocked when Julio said it himself.
"Wow! Sure enough, what treasure has the Vatican found? It's so much fanfare!"
"I don't know! But I'm sure that this treasure must be no small thing. Once it is announced, it may be a sensation in the world. With the huge appetite of Steven, ordinary treasures can't move him at all!"
Not only the many media reporters on the scene, but many viewers on the live broadcast side are also very curious, and are speculating about what the treasure will be announced next.
When the noise at the scene subsided, the Bishop of Kent immediately took the microphone and said with a smile:
"Good morning, friends from the media and journalists, I am very glad to see you here. I am a cardinal of the Vatican, named Kent, and I am also the head of the Vatican for this joint treasure exploration operation.
Next, let me introduce to you the relevant situation of this joint treasure exploration operation, as well as the cause and effect. After the introduction, it is free time for questioning. You can actively ask questions."
Following the words of the Bishop of Kent, many media reporters on the scene immediately stopped talking and all looked at the rostrum.
After a short pause, the Bishop of Kent continued:
"You must remember that a few months ago, Steven and his Brave Fearless Exploration Company discovered the famous Napoleon treasure in a historic building on the island of Citi in Paris, which caused a sensation in the world.
There are many top antique artworks hidden in Napoleon’s treasures that have disappeared for more than two hundred years, including the second of the three masters of Renaissance art, Michelangelo’s "Mourning for Christ", and Raphael's "The Madonna".
Two hundred years ago, these two priceless top art works were once treasures of the Vatican, but unfortunately they were looted by Napoleon. Since then, there is no news. It was only a few months ago that they could be seen again.
After discovering these two top artworks, Mr. Steven quickly got in touch with us, and then publicly announced that it would be a very generous move to give these two top artworks to the Vatican.
Because of this, these two priceless top art works have been able to return to the Vatican and are currently on display in the Vatican Museums for all visitors to appreciate and re-emerge the charm of art."
Hearing this, everyone in the banquet hall showed a knowing smile.
That is a deal! People all over the world know it.
Of course, in that deal, Steven was indeed very generous, and everyone was dumbfounded!
As for the reaction of everyone at the scene, the Bishop of Kent had not seen him, and he continued to speak in a rounded tone according to the draft.
"As of early October, on his way to the United States, His Majesty the Pope took the time to rush to Boston and personally presided over the wedding of Mr. Steven and Ms. Betty, and sent the best wishes to Ms. Betty at the wedding.
It was during this trip to Boston that we, the Vatican and Mr. Steven, reached a preliminary cooperation intention to jointly explore a famous treasure in history. If the treasure is successfully discovered, we will then share the benefits according to the agreement.
The reason why we chose Steven and his Brave Fearless Exploration Company is very simple, because Steven is the most outstanding professional treasure hunter in the world today, and the Brave Fearless Exploration Company is the most outstanding treasure hunt company.
In terms of exploring treasures, they are professionals and the best companies in the industry. The treasures that were born and made a sensation in the world through their hands are the best proof. There is no doubt about this.
We at the Vatican have no experience in this area. In order to find the famous treasure, we will cooperate with Steven and his Brave Exploration Company to jointly explore the treasure.
Having said that, everyone must be very curious. The treasure we are going to explore together is the famous treasure. Now I will announce the answer, which is the mysterious treasure of the Knights Templar! ..."
Before the words were over, the banquet hall was already frying.
Many media reporters even jumped up from their seats like an electric shock, jumping three feet high!
It was the same with countless live broadcasts. Everyone was completely shocked by the content they had just heard. Each one was stunned in place, eyes full of incredible, and even lost the ability to speak.
"God! It turns out to be the treasure of the Knights Templar, that's an eternal mystery! The Vatican and Steven are planning to jointly explore the treasure of the Knights Templar. This is crazy!"
"It seems that the Vatican knows where the treasures of the Knights Templar are roughly buried, so why don't you explore it alone? But it has to cooperate with the greedy fellow Steven. Isn't this just sticking out your neck and waiting to be slaughtered!"
Amidst a frenzy of exclamation, some media reporters could not wait for the free questioning session, and could not wait to start asking questions loudly.
"Good morning, Bishop of Kent, Steven, I am a reporter from the Italian National Television. Where are the treasures of the Knights Templar buried? Can you tell me something?"
"Good morning, Bishop of Kent, Steven, I am the reporter of The New York Times in Italy. According to legend, there are countless treasures of gold and silver and top antique art in the treasures of the Knights Templar.
More importantly, according to legend, the treasures of the Knights Templar are related to the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, and other Christian holy objects. If the treasure is found, how will you distribute the contents of the treasure? "
Hearing these questions, several people sitting on the rostrum couldn't help laughing softly.
Bishop Kent and Ye Tian looked at each other, then smiled and said loudly:
"As for the approximate location of the treasures of the Knights Templar, we certainly can't make it public. It still needs to be kept strictly confidential. As the joint exploration operation unfolds, everyone will gradually know the answer.
Legends about the treasures of the Knights Templar and many holy objects have been passed down from the Middle Ages to the present. Needless to say, the main goal of our Vatican is to find those Christian holy objects!
In view of this we have reached a reasonable treasure distribution plan. If the treasure of the Knights Templar is found, all the holy objects will go to the Vatican, and all the secular properties will go to the Brave Fearless Exploration Company! ..."
Not surprisingly, the scene boiled again.
Everyone was surprised by this treasure distribution plan! I even couldn't believe my ears.
Not to mention the extremely precious Christian holy relics in the legends, the countless gold and silver treasures and antique artworks in the treasures alone are enough to make everyone crazy. What a huge wealth!
Once the treasure of the Knights Templar is discovered, all the worldly properties in the treasure will be owned by the Brave Fearless Exploration Company, and the guy Steven will make a lot of money!
Thinking of this, the numerous media reporters on the scene and the countless viewers in front of the live broadcaster, their eyes flushed with jealousy, wishing to replace Ye Tian!
In the blink of an eye, the news that the Vatican and Ye Tian jointly explored the treasures of the Knights Templar, like an extremely powerful hurricane, madly swept the entire world and caused a huge sensation!
