Start the side objective

In the black market (Mission 4, "The Past Never Dies"), speak to Nirmala, the pawn-shop owner on the left after you descend the stairs from the auction, and take her sub-objective.

Win the cup game with the Q-Lens

Pay Aadan $3,500 to play (pickpocket nearby guards if you're short). When he shuffles the cups, hold L1/LB to activate the Q-Lens — the red jewel is highlighted through the cups, so you can follow it no matter how fast the shuffle is. Pick the correct cup and the win is guaranteed.

Reward and whether it's worth it

Returning the jewel to Nirmala pays $30,000 (about $26,500 net after the entry fee) and clears the "Cupped" challenge. It's a fine top-up toward the $100K auction fee, but the Fight Pit and Crypto Wallet are far more efficient — treat the Jewel as a bonus, not your main earner.
