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

The driver was clearly picking a fight on purpose. "Hey, kid! What are you staring at? Never seen such a nice car? Get out of the way!"

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?"
