"Wait a moment!" Lehrman stood up and said, "Why do you want to buy so many mystic eyes?"
"Ah... about that." Kazuya casually stood up and said, "You see, if I get into a fight with someone else... would it be better for them to be wary of just one mystic eye, or is it more challenging when they don't know the total, which happens to be five mystic eyes?"
Lehrman's eyes lit up, and this time, instead of acquiring any mystic eyes, he smiled, "Well then, Kazuya, how about cooperatin...

"Thirty million dollars."
"Thirty-five million dollars."
"Forty million dollars."
"Forty-one million dollars..."
The bidding had somehow turned into a private auction between Lehrman Noel and Kurokawa Kazuya.
"Forty-five million dollars." Kazuya once again stated the new bidding price.
"Really... Mr. Kurokawa, you've already bought two mystic eyes, haven't you? Why do you still want to buy this one..." Lehrman frowned, his tone, though polite, carried a hin...

The Tesseract?
Upon hearing Bakshi's response, Russell furrowed his brows slightly.
It wasn't surprising that Hydra wanted the Tesseract. However, if Hydra wanted the Tesseract, there was no need for them to resort to force.
Pierce had been the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Nick Fury had become the current director under his recommendation. Although Pierce was no longer the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was now Nick Fury's superior and the Minister of the World Securit...

Russell's face darkened, and he didn't reach out to catch the phone Bucky threw at him.
The palm-sized phone traced a perfect parabola in the air before falling from the top of the building.
Seeing that Russell had no intention of cooperating, Bucky's already cold expression grew even colder.
Russell didn't mind Hydra occasionally playing some tricks; after all, it was a longstanding tradition for Hydra.
But that didn't mean he would tolerate all of Hydra's actions.

The Mystic Eye Collection Train had the idea of auctioning 'Rainbow'-level mystic eyes!
This was beyond his expectations.
According to the situation seen through his Stand Atum, the mystic eye they were preparing to auction was the damaged 'Rainbow' mystic eye.
Based on the answers seen through his stand, one eye was intact, while the magic circuits inside the other eye suffered some degree of damage, but the exact extent was unknown.
He didn't continue to inquire... a...

The Mystic Eye Collection Train continued its relentless journey forward.
The remaining Mystic Eyes were subsequently displayed one after another.
They were the "NobleColor" Mystic Eye of Petrification, the "Golden" Mystic Eye of Illusion, and the "Jewel" Mystic Eye of Darkness.
The first Mystic Eye, as the name suggests, could petrify things seen literally.
The second Mystic Eye, in simple terms, was an illusion-type Mystic Eye, but it was much more convenient to use....

Diana is the head of Stardust Charity, and Peter's beautiful aunt May happens to be the second in command at Stardust Charity.
Although Diana doesn't often go to the offices of Stardust Charity, whenever she visits, she can hear May mention Peter to some extent.
In the past, when Peter had just been persuaded by Russell to become an intern at the detective agency, May was a bit worried that Peter might turn bad.
Especially when Peter brought home his first week's salary.

Apart from Diana, Russell had a habit of leaving some leeway when dealing with others.
This had nothing to do with trust; it was purely a personal habit.
Russell hadn't informed Peter about the enhancement serum in advance, not because he doubted Peter but because he wanted Peter to gain even greater power.
The enhancement serum produced by the Octopus Monster Lab had Peter's contributions. Although Peter was one of the co-inventors of the enhancement serum, he hadn't though...

For safety reasons, Russell decided to ask a few more questions.

"No, I got it wrong. It's 'Planet of the Apes,' a science fiction movie where chimpanzees have reached human-level intelligence."

Blood-red eyes emitted a chilling murderous intent.

June 6, 1989.
A light rain fell in London.
In front of the abandoned train station, Kazuya once again arrived at the location.
Unlike before, this time, he could feel a bit of human presence.
Before long, he reached the platform, where a few figures were standing in pairs.

As Russell looked at the still-not-quite-adult Peter, he couldn't help but reminisce about the time he had convinced Peter to become his intern at school. Even though this had happened more than half a year ago, it now felt like a distant memory.

"Not Death Thirteen, but... Atum?"
Kazuya looked in surprise at the Stand he had obtained.
Atum—this was the Stand ability possessed by Terence T. D'Arby!
It had two abilities.
One, the power to extract a person's soul! Afterward, it could be stored, and Terence T. D'Arby's preference was to place them in dolls. His brother, on the other hand, turned the souls into coins.
This could be considered a shared ability between the two.
However, this ability had...
