"Gentlemen, please wait!"

Silva said with a smile and nodded, and then went to get the treasure map.

However, instead of going upstairs or into any of the rooms, he left the living room and walked straight to the small fountain in the center of the courtyard.

Immediately after reaching the edge of the fountain, Silva crouched down, leaned forward and put his hands in the water.

Apparently, the treasure map was hidden beneath the pebbles and sand in the fountain, or at the bottom of the water sculpture!

Seeing his action, Ye Tian was suddenly stunned.

It's no wonder you don't see the glow of the treasure map in the living room! It turns out that it is hidden in the fountain, which is covered by layers, and this is indeed a very good hiding place!

Russell and Matisse had a look of surprise in their eyes, and they secretly gave a thumbs up, what a cautious guy.

Soon, Silva pulled out a sealed box wrapped in layers from the bottom of the fountain and returned to the living room with it.

"The environment around me was so sinister that I had to hide it so that I wouldn't be discovered by the gangsters outside the door, who would surely snatch it.

During this time, when there was no one at home, there were already several groups of uninvited guests, but fortunately they did not find what they were looking for, and they did not wreak havoc, so they were very cautious.

However, through some small traps that have been secretly arranged, I still found traces of these people, which is why I secretly contacted you at the bar, hoping to get rid of these bastards.

From beginning to end, this thing has been hidden under the fountain, and I don't dare to take it out at all, let alone take it with me, otherwise it will definitely not be preserved now!"

Silva explained the situation as he unpacked the sealed package, a slight smug in his tone.

"You're doing the right thing, the most dangerous places are often the safest!"

Ye Tian echoed and said, his eyes always staring at the box on the coffee table that was gradually revealing his true face.

Although he had not yet seen the treasure map, through the dazzling red light emitted by the box, he was already very sure that the treasure map was indeed from the beginning of the eighteenth century, with a history of nearly three hundred years.

As for whether the contents of the treasure map are related to the shipwreck of the Princess of Malaga, you can only know if you open the map and study it, and there is no need to rush into perspective.

The few sealed bags wrapped around were quickly removed, and a simple cherry wood box was presented to everyone.

Just as Silva took out the key and was about to open the small padlock on the box, Ye Tian suddenly remembered something, pointed to the oil painting on the wall behind him and said:

"Silva, did the painting on the wall behind you hang there all the time? You said several groups of people broke into this place, didn't they take anything with them?

That painting looks good! How could those guys let it go? I know the saying that thieves don't go away, and since they come in, they always take something!"

What Ye Tian pointed to was the top-level artwork that radiated a dazzling orange light, a beautiful landscape oil painting.

It's a miracle that a top-notch piece of art is hung on the wall in such a big way, without any protection, and it hasn't been stolen by those gangsters!

This situation only shows two problems, Silva has no eyes, and those Colombian gangsters have no eyes! I don't know what a real treasure is!

Fortunately, they have no eyes to make this top work of art survive until now, appearing in front of their eyes.

Obviously, this is for buddies! If you don't take it into your pocket, who is it worth?

Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but secretly feel lucky.

Hearing this, Matisse and Russell immediately looked up at the painting.

Russell was a pure man, who knew no art, let alone oil painting! After a glance, he withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on the box in front of him.

Matisse's performance was different, and a hint of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes!

Although he couldn't see the value of that oil painting, and he didn't know whose work it was, he knew very well in his heart that it must be worth a lot of money.

There is no other reason! Steven has always been targeted! When did he look away?

Silva glanced back at the painting, then turned to it and said:

"You mean 'Venetian View', that's right, that classical painting has been hanging there for years, it's been a relic of my uncle, he gave it to me after he died.

The painting is probably old, for as long as I can remember, it hung on the wall of my uncle's living room, and my uncle never mentioned what I got from there.

After getting the painting, I asked someone to have it appraised and was disappointed, and the expert told me that it was just the work of an unknown Italian painter and was not worth a few dollars!

Because it is a relic of my uncle, it has a certain commemorative significance, and the scenery on the painting is really good, so I hung it here as an ornament to decorate the living room!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately began to complain wildly in his heart, and he was almost laughed at angrily!

Unknown Italian painter? Not worth a few bucks?

Where the hell is this bullshit identification expert who came out, the brick family is pretty much the same!

When did Titian Vecellio, the greatest painter of the Venetian School of the late Renaissance, become an unknown Italian painter?

If he is an unknown painter, then there are probably not many well-known painters in this world!

His paintings aren't worth a lot of money?

In addition to the three masters of Renaissance art, how many paintings by top masters of art can be more valuable than his paintings?

Among other things, the Gardner Museum in Boston's "Europa Catastrophe" is a priceless treasure.

Vermeer's "Concert" and Rembrandt's "Storm on the Sea of Galilee" may not be worth as much as the sum of these two oil paintings! These are top-notch oil paintings worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

Colombians seem to be only suitable for growing coffee or selling cocaine, and they are so far away from art!

Silva continued to speak, not paying the slightest attention to the subtle changes in Ye Tian's mood.

"You're right, thieves don't go away, and those bastards, although they didn't take the oil painting of the unknown artist, took the few hundred dollars that I deliberately hid behind the oil painting.

The second time I lost was an emerald brooch from my wife, and it was through these details that I discovered that someone had broken into the house and searched the house."

"What are you going to do with this painting? Take it down and take it away? It's not easy to carry, it's more than a meter wide and high, and even if you put it in a painting tube, it's very conspicuous!"

Ye Tian looked at the oil painting on the wall and asked curiously.

He's ready to make a move! Since you guys are all blind and treat priceless treasures as trash, what are you polite about, buddy?

If you miss this God-given opportunity, you will be thundered by the sky!

"What else can I do? I had to throw it here, not only the oil painting, but almost everything in this house, I had to throw it away, and the most important thing was to escape!"

Silva said sadly, taking a quick look around his home and taking in everything.

It's a matter of course!

"What a shame to throw it away! I love this painting, how about selling it to me? I'm going to take it back to decorate my apartment, and make the most of it!

The water city of Venice is famous, I have always wanted to go there, but I can't find the time, since I came across this oil painting depicting the scenery of Venice, it would be a pity to miss it!"

Ye Tian looked at Silva with a smile and said, his expression was quite calm, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.

But in his heart, he was very nervous at this time, looking forward to hearing the most perfect answer.

For him, dreams can always come true!

"Since you like this oil painting, then just take it, it's better than throwing it away!

Silva replied very simply, without the slightest hesitation or other thought.

Of course, if he knew that he was facing Ye Tian, the famous professional treasure hunter with vicious eyes, it would be a different matter!

At this time, he still has the heart to pay attention to a worthless oil painting, and what he cares most about is how to escape Colombia with his family and start a new life!

Besides, there is a top-notch work of art hidden in the ceiling above my head!

As long as you take that top famous painting out of Colombia, a new life like paradise will appear in front of your family!

As for the rest, what is there not to give up?

Great!

Ye Tian secretly cheered, and almost jumped up excitedly.

Then, he immediately suppressed his excitement, smiled and shook his head and said:

"Silva, I can't take this painting for nothing, whether you're going to throw it away or not, even if you pay $1, I have to trade it in.

It's the rule of the trade! I can't break it, it's beautiful, and I like it, so I decided to bid $500, can you accept it?"

With that, he pulled out his wallet and pulled out five Franklin cards and placed them in front of Silva.

Seeing his movements, and the determined look in his eyes, what else could Silva say.

"Okay, Jack, $500 deal, that Venice View is yours"

Silva got up and shook Ye Tian's hand, closing the deal.

Then, he directly put away the five hundred dollars on the table, and there was even a little joy in his eyes.

That's it! Another windfall!

Ye Tian secretly cheered, so beautiful that he was about to bubble with snot!

After calming down a little, he immediately said to Matisse:

"Peyton, go and take down that oil painting, be careful when you roll it, don't fold it, roll it up and carry it first, and after we leave here, let's go buy a painting tube"

"Okay, I know how to do it"

Matisse answered, got up and prepared to go over to dismantle the painting, his eyes flashing with excitement.

At this moment, Silva suddenly interjected:

"You don't have to buy a painting tube, there are a few tubes in the cabinet next to the painting, pick a suitable one"

As he spoke, he pointed to the cabinet against the wall.

"Okay, thank you!"

Matisse nodded in reply and strode over to the top-notch painting.

Just as he removed the painting and began to remove the frame, Silva also opened the lock of the box on the coffee table, lifted the box, and pulled out an old sheepskin map from inside.

Then, he spread the map on the coffee table and displayed it in front of everyone's eyes.

"Jack, please identify it, this is the treasure map you're looking for, it's the real thing!"
