The 100-carat blue diamond, known as Hades’ Tear is auctioned off at 1 billion dollars along with its accompanying Hades statue to the KL Foundation of Kingsland. Lupin and Jigen make off with Hades’ Tear with ease, but they soon find out the blue diamond is nothing but a blue-tinted glass ball. The KL Foundation reveals that although it’s a glass ball, it holds Kingsland’s national secrets, and hires Lupin to smuggle it back to Kingsland. Teaming with a girl named Maria, Lupin decides to deliver Hades’ Tear to Kingsland, but is he actually being duped?
