The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 989

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 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?"

The Chief Steward? That was a rank higher than Nellie and usually reserved for alchemists.

Felix hesitated for a moment, but he stepped aside soon. He didn't want to cause any trouble for Delilah. Letting it slide was the easier choice.

The young man smirked smugly. “Heh, see? That wasn't so hard. You could have saved yourself from a scolding, you pathetic fool.”

The Mercedes-Benz sped off.

Felix resumed his journey, soon noticing that the SUV was driving straight ahead without making any turn.

The driver simply honked or got out to show off whenever people were in his way. It was all just to flaunt their status.

As Felix moved closer to the mountain, the road became busier, with more people and vehicles appearing—likely others on their way to take the Intermediate Alchemy Assessment.

Given the mix of participants, it was no surprise to run into all kinds of characters.
