However, when they get there, they are surprised to find their friend Leorio participating as a bidder.

The Scarlet Eyes are said to be a pair of eyes that belong to a goddess and they allow their wearer to see any treasure or hidden object they desire. It is revealed that the eyes belong to the Kurta Clan, a group of people with unique red eyes. However, tragedy struck when a group of thieves attacked their village and killed everyone except for a young boy named Kurapika, who managed to escape with his life.
