Felix turned around. A Mercedes-Benz SUV had pulled up behind him, honking incessantly.

Felix couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. This wasn't some bustling metropolis with proper roads, traffic lights, or strict rules.

It was open terrain, with no boundaries or designated lanes to worry about. Martial City's flat ground made for smooth travel without much risk of bumps.

The car door opened, and a young man stepped out. He pointed rudely at Felix.

"The road's wide enough. I've already moved over. What more do you want?" Felix replied coolly.

The young man's expression darkened with anger. "What the hell? Are you trying to teach me how to behave? Do you even know who's sitting in this car? The disciple of Harmony Clinic's chief steward is in the backseat! How dare you disrespect us?"
