Chapter 45：A Riot (1/2)

I don't know when it happened, I was watching at the sidelines like everybody else. I knew the fight was entering its final moments, so I decided to activate my dragon eyes skills.

I could see Monks energy flow, after the ten-minute mark his energy was getting smaller and smaller but when the sword broke and everyone thought it was over, his energy seemed to double in size as he was aiming to grab the pieces of the broken sword. A last-ditch effort to win the match.

That's when my body started to move on its own. Suddenly I was directly by Monk's and Gary's side, I reached out my hand and grabbed the wooden like dagger, inches away from Gary's neck.

All three of us were frozen in place for a moment, the crowd was silent. Just seconds ago they were cheering with excitement.

Monk removed his grip from the weapon and started to bow down in front of me and Gary.

”I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me.”

What Monk didn't know was I was thinking the exact same thing. I was originally going to let whatever happened in this fight happen. It would have been a lesson for them both in the future.

Monk quickly then used his skills to leave the field silently going through the crowd of people. Gary just stood there in silence, trying to comprehend what just happened.

The crowd of people started to speak amongst themselves.

”So who won the fight?”

”I'm not sure, that red hared kid came in when Gary was about to win.”

”What are you on about? Monk was going to win.”

The crowd then started to argue over who had won the fight. Some believed that Gary had won, while others supported Monk. In the end though, the anger and hatred in the crowd started to steer towards one person. The person who had stopped the fight.

”Why did that red-haired have to get involved?”

”Perhaps he didn't want to lose all his money?”

Kyle seeing that the crowd was starting to get riled up towards the match, stepped into the centre of the field.

”Hey guys, sorry to say but due to the involvement of a third party member, the match has been voided from official rankings. So don't worry you will all get your money back.”

I don't know if Kyle was doing this on purpose or not. But his words just made the people steer their anger more towards me. It seemed like he was just out there to save himself.
