The voice hadn't fallen yet, Larson's trembling voice, which was octave high and excited, was uploaded from the auction station again, and it was clearly heard by everyone on the scene.

As he announced the starting price loudly, Larson also began to scan the entire auction hall quickly, his voice still very excited, his eyes shone straight!
The same goes for the Christie's staff who assisted in the auction. They quickly scanned the audience and the telephone bidding area, ready to check the remaining vacancies at any time, and remind Larson in case he misses the buyer's bid!
The auction hall at this time, because of the ultra-high starting price that Larson just quoted, has been completely opened!
"I'll go! The starting price of 30 million euros is too crazy. The co-authoring buddies were so happy, but they didn't even qualify for the final competition!"
"Wow! The starting price is unheard of! Obviously, Oppenheimer's Blue has nothing to do with us at all. We needy ghosts can just get addicted to the eyes, don't be foolish!
The competition will be between the jewellery predators and the super-rich. Who can beat all the opponents, have the last laugh, and successfully win the'Oppenheimer's Blue' is still very exciting! "
The starting price of 30 million euros was very high, which instantly smashed the hopes of most of the buyers on the spot, so that they did not even get the opportunity to compete, and they were eliminated!
But for those well-known jewelers and super rich, the starting price is completely expected and not too high!
Moreover, no famous jeweler or super-rich dare to hope to take the Oppenheimer Blue at this price. This is just the beginning of the competition!
The voice of Larson's offer just fell, and someone in the audience could not wait to hold up the bidding number plate and shouted out his offer.
"Here, Mr. Larson, 31 million euros!"
At the same time, on the street two hundred meters away from Diamond Avenue, the fighting was in full swing, and the gunfire was deafening and never stopped!
The Antwerp Special Police and the Pink Panthers are firing frantically. Pistol bullets and assault rifle bullets are raging like a storm on this ancient street.
Under the almost crazy burst of fire from the guys in the Pink Panther~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the Antwerp special police who had just attacked the apartment building were blasted out again, and paid the price of a special police injury!
The Pink Panther, who was condescendingly guarding the second floor of the apartment building, paid the price of a human life before driving the Antwerp special police out of the apartment building and got a chance to survive.
"Fak! Dimit is also dead, I want to kill these Belgian idiot police officers and avenge Savoy and Dimit!"
A member of the Pink Panther rushed downstairs to open fire frantically, while roaring in anger, his voice filled with despair and fear.
The important figures of the'Pink Leopard' standing a little later, their faces were sinking, and their expressions were hard to see the extreme.
At this time, each of them had the same question in their minds.
Who on earth leaked the address here? Could it be that the Antwerp police found this place? There is almost no such possibility!
If the Antwerp police found this apartment, why did they go early? How could it be possible to wait until this time to start? There must be someone else!
