Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1736: St. Peter's Basilica

Just as Ye Tian and the others walked into St. Peter's Basilica and began to visit the world's largest Catholic church, a fight officially kicked off in Barcelona, ​​Spain.

The two parties involved in this fight were five or six mercenaries who had just smuggled into Barcelona and a notorious local gang in Barcelona.

Those mercenaries come from all over the world, and everyone is an elite on the battlefield for more than a hundred battles. I don't know how many people have blood on their hands. They are all cruel and sturdy!

As for the local Barcelona gang, it is a gang of mobs, with different levels of combat effectiveness, many of which are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Such a fight, the result can be imagined, there is no suspense at all.

At the same time, in Marseilles, France, not too far from Barcelona, ​​and Belgrade in Seville, there appeared a mercenary with explosive combat effectiveness, and they also came smuggled.

Like the mercenaries who appeared in Barcelona, ​​these two groups of mercenaries also came with a killing mission. The targets were a gangster in Marseille and a local gangster in Belgrade!

Ye Tian was not the one who issued this series of killing missions.

This is his revenge action. Before arriving in Rome yesterday, the reward for killing was released.

Although everyone in the world knows that he will definitely offer a reward for hunting down those gangsters who try to rob him and hitting the gangsters behind those scum, but no one expected it so soon!

Who could have imagined that he would launch a revenge action so quickly, offering a reward to kill the gang behind those scumbags, and using a thunderbolt method.

And his reward is very special, and there is no clear price, indicating the reward amount!

In that way, it is very possible to give someone a handle, or to be bitten by the law enforcement agencies of the relevant country, and the flow of money will still leave traces.

The reward he offered was three opportunities, three of which hinted at missing opportunities in the antique art market, and the missing antique artworks must be valuable!

Anyone who accepts and completes the hunting mission can get such an opportunity.

Appear in the same antique art market with him, accept his hint, pick up a big leak in the antique art market, and then convert it into money through auction.

For those mercenaries and killers who lick their blood, this is undoubtedly the most perfect mission and the most perfect way to offer a reward.

Because the money earned in this way is clean, it is wealth under the sun, and no one can question it. You can use it with confidence and boldly, without hiding it!

Ye Tian doesn't need to worry about getting into trouble, he just hinted, what kind of evidence can he leave, so as to give others a handle? No one can take him in this way!

As for his insight into antique art and his ability to pick up leaks, no one doubts at all, he has long been famous, and people all over the world know it.

When the rain of gunfire rang through Barcelona, ​​turning that city into a battlefield, Ye Tian and the others were visiting St. Peter's Cathedral and admiring this magnificent church!

Although they had been here for a while last night, it was at night after all, the lighting conditions were too poor, they didn't look carefully, and time was tight, so many places were not visited.

Today is different, there is time, and the light conditions are very good, you can enjoy the tour.
