"Stop!" I called, and immediately all of the arena had their attention focused on us, but I didn't care. Seems like something big was happening behind me but I didn't care, someone tried to hurt a friend of mine.

Meng Hao gulped hard as he was looking not at me, but behind me but I didn't care.

A man came behind me and stood tall, I could even feel his shadow behind me.

"What's going on here?" asked the man.

At this exact moment, I should have turned but I was too focused on the type of poison within Meng Hao's body to care and turn to talk to some stranger behind me.

"Stop gawking, you, help me, do you have a clean blade, a dagger would be best?" I asked the man who was behind me, still, I didn't turn.

"Eumm… yes," said the man and handed me a dagger.
