Polished leather and quiet money fill the dealership air. Jaer ignores the cars, scanning exits and cameras, his gaze lingering on the salesman’s hands. The salesman pitches a sleek black SUV, then climbs into the trunk to demonstrate its space. Jaer watches, amused by the absurdity. He approaches slowly, resting a hand on the trunk edge while his men watch silently. The salesman talks on, oblivious. Jaer commands, 'Stay there.' The salesman freezes. Jaer taps the trunk—solid, spacious. 'You convinced me,' he says, closing it partially to hear the salesman’s sharp intake of breath before lifting it again. 'I will buy this car.' Relief washes over the salesman as he climbs out, smoothing his suit. Papers are signed. Money moves.
