Seeing the two of us acting like this, Julius just raised his hands and said, "I come in peace. I'm just here for a small talk."

Both of us looked at him with a wary look before exchanging looks with each other.

We could both see the doubt and hesitation that was in each other's eyes.

After all, even if he had appeared out of nowhere, there was a reason why we had been talking about him before.

So if he really had come here in peace, then this would be a good chance to talk to this candidate that was considered one of the best in the tournament and broker an alliance with him.

As well, if they could get some information about him regarding his powers…

Then that would be even more helpful.

So the two of us slowly sat back down in our chairs, but we made sure to move away from the chair that Julius was sitting in.

He didn't seem to mind as he waited for us to settle.
