Maksim didn't care if the man standing there is his Uncle or not. Maksim is not attached to his own father, why would he care about a relative he never met? However, Maksim was interested in the possibility of Hong taking over the position of the Grand Master. Uncle or not, if he can do that, then Maksim will not be pushed into a path he is not willing to follow, and Sarah said that Maksim would get to keep his properties and maybe get other perks as well.
"How will you claim the position of the Grand Master?", Maksim questioned Hong.
"I will challenge Simeon publicly."
"Can you prove that you are Gedeon and not some random man who came to stir trouble? You know that Elders will object to you replacing my father even if you kill him, unless you can prove your identity."
