Chapter 722 Officer And The Old Man
Fein grinned, "Tholanoid, an A-rank artifact I made. They're made of special materials and I incorporated my understanding of the laws to create them. They can boost your movement speed by 800% and let you float for five minutes. They're A rank artifacts."
Fey looked at her brother in amazement. "That's incredible, Fein. Thank you so much." She hugged him tightly and he hugged her back.
Fein stepped back and admired his sister in her new boots. She looked happy and confident, and he knew that she would be able to handle anything that came her way with these new powers.
As she walked towards the door, Fey turned back to Fein, "Hey, why don't you come with me? Let's test out these boots together."
Fein chuckled, "Sure, why not?" He followed his sister out of the room.
As they stepped out of the blacksmithing room, they were greeted by the bright sunlight that filtered through the trees outside. The air was fresh and cool, and the rustling leaves of the nearby forest created a gentle, soothing sound.
Fey put on the Tholanoid boots and immediately felt a difference in her movements. She took a few steps forward and then jumped, soaring into the air with ease. She giggled with joy as she landed softly on the ground.
"These boots are amazing, Fein! I feel like I can run faster than the wind and fly like a bird," Fey exclaimed.
Fein smiled at his sister's excitement. "That's the power of Tholanoid boots. They're not just for show. They'll give you the speed and agility you need to overcome any obstacle."

Fein nodded, "Okay, let's do it!"
They both took off, Fey with her new boots and Fein with his own natural speed. Fey was fast, but Fein was faster. As they ran, the wind whipped past their faces, and they could feel the adrenaline pumping through their veins.
Fey was amazed at how fast she was moving. It felt like she was flying, and the boots made her movements effortless. She reached the top of the hill and turned around to see Fein not far behind her.
Fein arrived a few moments later, panting slightly. "You're fast, but you still have a long way to go before you can beat me," he teased.
Fey grinned, "I'll keep practicing. With these boots, I know I can get there."
...
Fein and Fey were strolling along the road, admiring the vibrant colors of the sunset, when they heard a loud argument between an old man and a police officer. The old man, whose name was Henry, was shouting at the officer, whose name was Officer Brown, for his unfair treatment and racism towards him. Fein and Fey walked closer, curious about what was going on.
"Can't you see that I am an old man and I need to cross the road? Why are you stopping me?" Henry demanded.
Officer Brown, who was a middle-aged man with a stout build, responded in a harsh tone, "You can't just cross the road wherever and whenever you want, sir. There are rules and regulations that need to be followed."
Fein, who was always a man of justice and equality, could not ignore the injustice that was happening right in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke in a calm but firm tone, "Excuse me, officer. I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. Is there something wrong?"
Officer Brown turned to him and replied curtly, "Stay out of this, kid. This is none of your business."
Fein took a deep breath and composed himself. He knew he had to be careful with his words and actions. He could sense the tension rising between Officer Brown and Henry, and he didn't want things to escalate further.
"Well, sir," Fein addressed Henry, "what seems to be the problem?"
Henry explained, "This officer won't let me cross the road. I have the right to do so, don't I?"
Fein nodded, "Yes, sir. You do have the right to cross the road. However, you have to do it safely and within the rules of the road."
Henry frowned, "What rules?"
Fein smiled, "The rules are mentioned in the 'Manual of Traffic Signs and Rules' book. Would you like me to recite them for you?"
Henry nodded eagerly, "Yes, please."
Fein cleared his throat and began, "According to Article 32, a pedestrian has the right of way on a marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection. However, he or she must yield to a vehicle if it is within close proximity."
Officer Brown snorted, "That's easy to say, kid. But what if the pedestrian just jumps in front of the car? Who's responsible then?"
Fein calmly replied, "That's why Article 33 states that a pedestrian must use the crosswalk when it is provided. If there is no crosswalk, the pedestrian must yield to the vehicle and use caution when crossing the road. In this case, there is a crosswalk right there, so the old man has every right to cross the road safely."
Officer Brown looked at Fein with surprise and admiration. He had never heard such an accurate interpretation of the traffic rules before.
Fein continued, "Furthermore, Article 34 states that a driver must exercise caution when approaching a pedestrian who is crossing or about to cross the road. The driver must yield to the pedestrian if he or she is on the crosswalk or is about to enter it."
Henry smiled, "Thank you, young man. You certainly know your rules well."
Fein smiled back, "It's my pleasure, sir. I believe in justice and equality for all."
Officer Brown stepped forward and extended his hand, "I apologize for my behavior earlier. You're right, I was being unfair and unreasonable. Thank you for enlightening me, young man."
Fein shook his hand, "No problem, officer. It's always good to learn something new."
As they walked away, Fey turned to Fein, "You never cease to amaze
