Volume 3 Chapter 65 - Taxi (1/2)

After listening to Krush, Mercado gave up on finding work at the Sandton industrial district. Rather he headed to the Falling Rain Valley, planning to participate in the driver’s license exam at the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

After personally experiencing the speed and comfort of the Magic Car, Mercado was certain that this thing would replace horse carriages. It would become the most used method of transportation in the Lampuri Kingdom and even the Sines Continent.

Then that driver’s license would be necessary in the future. If he passed the test ahead of time, it meant that he would have an advantage compared to others.

But while Mercado was excited when he rode Krush’s Magic Car to the Falling Rain Valley, after he arrived, he was heartlessly rejected by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

“I’m sorry, we aren’t holding driver’s license exams right now. If you want to apply, please patiently wait for a notice from our company.” The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s receptionist was young, beautiful, and had a nice voice, but he was dissatisfied when he heard this.

“Why?” Mercado angrily slapped the desk in front of him, “This Magic Car is clearly produced by your company and you’re the ones who want people to take the exam, so now you’re telling me that you’re not holding exams? Are you playing me? Doesn’t this mean that if I go and buy a Magic Car, but because I don’t have a driver’s license, wouldn’t I have bought it for nothing? Because I can’t drive it at all! Tell me, how do you do business like this!”

Mercado’s raised voice echoed through the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s lobby, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.

The receptionist’s face turned a bit red as she quickly shook her head and said, “I’m sorry, this sir, I didn’t mean that. This is the policy of our company. Moreover…..our company currently isn’t planning on selling Magic Cars to individuals right now…..”

“Not selling to individuals?” Mercado’s eyes popped out again, “Then who are you planning to sell to? Only to the Fersen Carriage Company? Could it be that we normal people aren’t qualified to buy it?”

Seeing Mercado’s fierce expression, the receptionist’s face turned completely red. She could only shake her head and couldn’t say a single word.

Although she had been the receptionist for some time, the guest that came here all admired the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so they were very polite to her. How could they be as fierce as Mercado was now? It really made it hard for her to adapt.

Seeing that the receptionist was speechless, Mercado became even angrier.

Because he had been unemployed for half a year, Mercado had a lot of pressure. Now that he had finally found a chance for better work with the driver’s license, but he was told that he couldn’t test for one, it immediately made the anger he had over the last half a year explode.

“Let me tell you, if your Frestech Chamber of Commerce doesn’t let me test for a driver’s license, you’re discriminating against us normal people. I’ll tell…..”

Mercado had just said this when he felt someone tapping his shoulder and he angrily waved his hand.

“Scram!”

That person tapped his shoulder once again.

Mercado’s anger surged and without caring, he turned and sent out a punch.

However, this punch seemed like it had hit a soft but firm wall, scattering all the power behind this fist.

Mercado looked at the tornado that surrounded his right fist in a daze before looking up at the person in front of him, immediately becoming shocked. It was like a tub of cold water fell over him and his legs turned soft as he fell to the ground.

Xu Yi shook his head and waved his hands at the guards, stopping them from coming over. He reached out towards Mercado on the ground and said with a faint smile, “This sir, no matter how you feel about our Frestech Chamber of Commerce, you don’t need to yell at such a young girl like this, right? Getting angry doesn’t solve your problem. If you have opinions, you can calmly express them. If we can solve them, then I think that we will be happy to help you.”

Mercado looked at Xu Yi in front of him. That anger that filled his mind completely disappeared and all that was left was shame. He wished that he could dig a hole to jump into.

Too embarrassing!

It really was too embarrassing!

He had actually yelled at a young girl in front of all these people and had even cursed the Frestech Chamber of Commerce in their domain!

The most important thing was that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu had seen him!

“I…..I…..I don’t have any opinions, just…..I just lost control of my emotions…..” Mercado couldn’t meet Xu Yi’s eyes at all, as he kept looking around while answering, “That…..Xu…..Chairman Xu, you…..you shouldn’t mind it. I…..I was just impulsive and…..didn’t mean anything.”
