Plot[]

Yorknew City arc[]

On the night of September 1st, the mummy of Princess Corco was to be sold at the Underground Auction held in the Cemetery Building.[1] However, the auction is interrupted after the Phantom Troupe massacres the attendees during their plan to steal all the items. They utilize Shizuku's Nen ability to remove any traces of the massacre.[2] By the time back-up arrives at the building, mass hysteria reaches a fever-pitch within the Mafia Community, with both the attendees and auction items all missing. It is later revealed in a phone conversation between Chrollo and Uvogin that the missing auction items were moved elsewhere by one of the Shadow Beasts named Owl.[3]

Two days after the massacre, it is announced that the Underground Auction will be held again in the Cemetery Building that very night and that precautions have been taken by the Ten Dons to prevent another incident.[4] A conversation between Light Nostrade and Kurapika reveals that there will be many important figures of the Mafia Community present and that it will be protected by a large number of Mafia members and even police officers, who have created a perimeter of one kilometer around the building. Anyone who tries to enter without permission will be killed on sight. Before the start of the auction, Neon is accompanied by a disguised Chrollo who helps her get past the barriers. The two briefly talk at a restaurant inside the building,[5] and Chrollo has his fortune told by Neon. Soon after, he knocks her unconscious and then assassinates most of the professional assassins hired by the Ten Dons to eliminate the Troupe.[6][7] Meanwhile, following Chrollo's orders, the other Troupe members massacre every single Mafia member and police officer they encounter outside the Cemetery Building.[7][8]

In the basement of the building, Chrollo faces off against Silva and Zeno Zoldyck,[8][9] but the fight ends in a draw after the Ten Dons (who hired the two Zoldycks) are assassinated by Illumi with the help of Kalluto and Maha. As Bean assures the Mafia members inside that everything is fine and leads them to the auction hall, Illumi manipulates the Dons' corpses and has one of them assure the Mafia members that the Troupe's leader has been killed and that the others will be eliminated as well. After he tells them to enjoy the auction and the Mafia members celebrate, it's revealed that the Troupe is controlling the auction backstage as they make copies of every item.[10]

After the Troupe members fake their deaths, Kurapika arrives at the auction hall just as the announcer introduces the last item: a pair of Scarlet Eyes. He gets permission from Light to spend as much as he needs to win them, and after Kurapika gets into a bidding war against Zenji, Light is stunned to learn that the final bid reached Jenny Symbol 20112.9 billion. Kurapika picks up the item and delivers them to Light and Neon after dealing with an enraged Zenji.[11]

At Neon's hospital, after giving the eyes to his daughter, Light tells the Nostrade bodyguards that the last item left to bid on is the tissue used by a celebrity, which will be auctioned off the next day.[11]
