"I request to have a duel for the position of patriarch."
When Julius arrived and suddenly said those words many of those present were not surprised. It was no secret that Julius wanted to replace Nero as patriarch, but in a clan such as the Loder Clan, such a thing was normal.
What confused the other members of the Loder clan was not that he wanted that position of patriarch but he actually asked for a duel. That was not how the patriarch of their clan was chosen, and even if they did have a duel normally that wouldn't make Julius into the patriarch. Not to mention the difference in strength between Julius and Nero, even if Julius somehow won no one would recognize him as the patriarch. While the members of the Loder Clan were confused as to what Julius wanted to achieve with such meaningless actions, they heard Ren's voice.
"Oh, that sounds interesting. Seeing who will become patriarch through a duel sounds very interesting."
