As soon as Hera unlocked her car, Dave recognized it immediately. The limited edition Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail's headlights blinked on, causing him to stop in his tracks. He knew that this exclusive model was valued at $30 million—a price tag so high that not even Athena, Hera's well-connected friend, could acquire it through her uncle, a distributor of rare cars. This model could only be reserved directly from the manufacturer, well before its public release.
Dave knew there were only three of these cars in existence worldwide. Such exclusivity was reserved for those who were exceptionally well-connected or leaders in their respective fields. As far as he was aware, the only other person in their country who owned one was the Avery family. He had witnessed the car being transported through customs, confirming its arrival firsthand.
