The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 114

"Felix! Are you blind? Can't you see the car coming?" Belle shouted.

Felix's face darkened. "This is a residential area. Even if a car is coming, basic courtesy says the driver should give way to pedestrians. Don't you even know that much?"

He was well aware that Belle was intentionally picking a fight. He had seen the car approaching from a distance, but it had suddenly sped up.

"You're saying I'm the rude one?" Belle laughed incredulously. "Do you think just because you're a martial artist, you can act arrogant and reckless, thinking a speeding car can't kill you?" Felix, clearly uninterested in continuing the argument, glanced at the figure in the back seat of the car. "What is it this time?"

Instantly, Belle's irritation hit its peak. "Oh, my God! How can someone be so shameless? Do you really think every time Lady Summers comes to Tabiner Bay, it's to look for you?" "It's better if she's not here for me."

Felix made his way over to the neighborhood's artificial lake, where Ernest was fiddling with a fishing rod. Beside him stood Jairo, the bodyguard who remained vigilant as he scanned their surroundings. "Sorry that I'm late, Mr. Holt Senior," Felix greeted.

Ernest smiled warmly. "Oh, you're not late. I'm already grateful that you're taking the time to fish with an old man like me."

Most people would assume that spending time with Ernest was an attempt to curry favor, but Felix was different. He had no such intentions.

"Better to spend time here than sit around idly. Besides, my dad used to take me fishing all the time when I was a kid."
