Next, Xiao Ran answered questions from several reporters.
A reporter asked him what he would do with these top-notch works of art discovered today. Should he collect them himself, sell them, take them back to Beijing or Los Angeles, or keep them in Paris?
Xiao Ran gave it away, saying that he hadn't had time to consider these things yet and couldn't be sure for the time being.
He also chose to keep the valuation of these top-notch works of art secret and did not make it public on the spot.
However, there are many professionals on site who know the market conditions very well.
With their respective understanding of the art market, these guys came up with valuations.
The valuation they gave is not far off, but it’s not far off!
Hearing these valuations, Xiao Ran just smiled softly and did not give any response.
After answering a few questions, he ordered his security personnel to load the last batch of antique artworks into the armored escort vehicle.
After receiving the order, Anthony and the others took action immediately.
Just when they opened an armored escort vehicle and loaded the antique artworks inside, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd.
A few guys in the crowd who were so jealous that they lost their minds suddenly began to surge forward, their eyes fixed on the armored escort vehicle that opened the back door.
Anyone standing behind the car could see that the armored escort vehicle's compartment was filled with large and small painting bags and boxes, as well as many telescopic painting tubes.
Those painting bags, painting tubes, and boxes contained antique artworks that Xiao Ran had swept away from the Byron Market.
And each piece is valuable, and "Pauline" is among them.
When they were loaded into the escort vehicle one by one, people didn't think anything was wrong.
Seeing the situation inside the car at this time, everyone was shocked by the number of antique artworks, and their eyes became redder!
Only then did people truly understand how many treasures Xiao Ran had swept away from the Byron Market and how much of a blow it had caused to the world's largest antique market.
While there was a commotion in the crowd, the security personnel hidden in the crowd also issued a warning to Xiao Ran.
"Sean, the mood of the crowd is not stable. It's time to leave here. If you continue to stay, accidents may happen."
"There are many robbers and art thieves hiding in the crowd, as well as some gangsters in Paris. Be careful!"
Hearing the warning coming from the wireless invisible earphones, Xiao Ran nodded immediately.
Immediately afterwards, he issued the command through the wireless microphone.
"Guys, please be vigilant. After installing those antique works of art, we will leave here immediately and go to the Musée d'Orsay."
"Copy that, Sean."
Anthony and the others responded immediately and quickly increased their vigilance.
in the crowd.
Several security team members pretending to be passers-by quickly approached those guys who were ready to make a move.
Then, using the cover of their coats, they directly pressed the pistols with silencers against the waist holes of those guys.
"Dude, don't move, otherwise I can't guarantee whether the pistol will go off!"
After hearing this, those guys who were ready to move suddenly froze in place and did not dare to move.
Without their instigation, the originally restless crowd suddenly stopped moving forward, and people calmed down a little.
Over at the motorcade, Xiao Ran had already asked Yi Lian, Fang Yufei and the others to sit in the car.
Then, he turned to look at Henry and the others who were already impatient, smiled and whispered:
"Gentlemen, the situation here is very complicated, and there are too many people, accidents can easily happen!"
"No matter what you want to say, please keep it for now. We will talk again when we return to the Musée d'Orsay."
Henry and Carlin paused for a moment, then quickly looked at the scene.
They instantly understood that what Xiao Ran said was absolutely correct.
The scene at this time was simply a powder keg ready to go off, and a violent explosion could occur at any time.
Once a riot breaks out here, it is very likely to trigger a major event that shocks the world.
With the way Sean behaves, even if he destroys all the top-notch antiques he just discovered, he will not allow them to be snatched away by others.
Once someone cannot suppress their greedy desire, they rush forward and try to rob.
Sean, a ruthless guy, and his men would 100% open fire in self-defense.
Once something like that happens, there will be big trouble.
Thinking of this, Karin immediately shuddered, then nodded quickly and said:
"Okay, Sean, I'll do as you say. If you have anything to do, go to the Musée d'Orsay to discuss it."
After saying that, the guy immediately turned to look at Francois and whispered an order.
He asked Francois to lead his many police officers to ensure that the scene was safe and no riots occurred.
Francois nodded and took action immediately.
In the blink of an eye, Anthony and the others had packed up all the antiques and artworks and locked the doors of the armored escort vehicle.
Afterwards, everyone got in the car and prepared to leave Byron Market.
The motorcade started immediately and drove slowly out along the safe passage opened by the Paris police.
Looking at the leaving convoy, many people around them were filled with dismay, but they were helpless.
They could only watch helplessly as the escort convoy passed through the crowd and headed towards the street outside, gradually drifting away.
At this moment, a huge roar of helicopter engines suddenly came from the air.
Hearing this sound, people looked up to the sky.
The next moment, people see it.
Two medium-sized helicopters roared from the southwest, flew directly over the escort convoy, and then covered the escort convoy in the air as they moved forward.
Seeing this scene, people still don't understand.
There is no doubt that these two medium-sized helicopters belong to Xiao Ran and are here to escort the escort convoy.
Understanding this, the crowd immediately burst into annoyed curses.
"Damn it! This bastard Sean has thought so carefully. He is fully protected by sea, land and air!"
"Obviously, this guy thought of every possibility, so he made all kinds of preparations, and there were no loopholes."
"It seems that the rumors are absolutely correct. Anyone who wants to take advantage of this guy Sean will probably lose his life!"
Amidst the murmurs of discussion, the armored escort convoy quickly moved away.
In the blink of an eye, the escort convoy has entered the 18th arrondissement of Paris, which is the area where Montmartre Heights is located, and is also called the Montmartre District.
Through social media and various news reports, all Parisians already knew about Xiao Ran's looting of the Saint-Ouan market and the existence of this armored escort convoy.
When this motorcade passed through the streets of District 18, it immediately attracted countless attention.
People on the street looked at this armored escort convoy one after another, almost everyone's eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
Some guys in the crowd protested loudly and even shouted curses.
"Fake U! Sean, you greedy bastard, keep those treasures and get out of Paris!"
"Sean, you are a fucking robber. Those antiques belong to Paris, not you bastard."
The ones who yelled the most loudly were the new immigrants in their teens and twenties and their descendants.
And most of them were young black and Arab men, all with red eyes, shouting and cursing unscrupulously.
Compared with these guys, the white French people seemed calmer and not so excited.
This has nothing to do with racial discrimination, only the education and income levels of different ethnic groups.
Seeing this scene on the street outside, Xiao Ran just shook his head disdainfully and didn't take it seriously at all.
Elaine frowned slightly and explained a few words helplessly.
"Dear, you don't have to worry about what's going on outside. The 18th arrondissement is the red light district of Paris and is notoriously chaotic."
"There are a lot of immigrants here, gangs are rampant, and the streets are full of gangsters and gang members."
"These guys outside hate everything. They even shouted slogans to get white French people out of Paris!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran and the others laughed.
"In Chinese terms, this is called the dove occupying the magpie's nest!"
While he was talking, Anthony's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Sean, there are some reckless guys who are trying to surround our escort convoy. They look like gang members."
"Several cars followed the convoy, and there were also several cars on both sides of the intersection not far ahead, ready to go."
"Judging from this situation, these guys are trying to outflank the front and rear, and are preparing to attack at the intersection ahead. The attackers are evil!"
Upon hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran immediately sneered.
The next moment, he said through the tiny microphone:
"Tell the guys to be vigilant and get ready for battle. The strategy is the same as before, strike first!"
"First let the two helicopters go to the intersection ahead to suppress those idiots ambushing at the intersection ahead."
"Don't forget to inform Francois and let the Paris police exchange fire with those guys first, and then we will appear."
"Got it, Sean"
Anthony responded, immediately springing into action.
A moment later, the two helicopters in the sky suddenly accelerated and flew straight to the intersection not far ahead.
