Seeing Cain Wills react in such a way, Lachlan Willis was immediately shocked!
Is he… going to go crazy again?
Thinking about the terrifying power of Cain Wills, Lachlan Willis felt a chill run down his spine.
If someone like him lost his sanity and started doing things without distinguishing between friend and foe, the consequences would be unimaginable!
“Grandpa, Grandpa, are you alright?” Lachlan Willis called out in panic.
“Ugh…”
Cain Wills clutched his head, and his expression gradually changed.
He fixed his gaze on Lachlan Willis and said, “Jade pendant! Give me that Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant! Quickly…”
“Only when that pendant is on me can it suppress my madness! Back then… I was considered a traitor by the family because of this pendant…”
“Grandson! Where is the pendant? Give it to me…”
“Give it to me…”
Cain Wills’ eyes turned red as he growled at Lachlan Willis.
“The pendant?”
“Okay, okay, Grandpa, I’ll give it to you…”
Upon hearing this, Lachlan Willis hurriedly took out the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant from his wrist space. It had already turned gray and even had two cracks on it.
The inheritance inside it had already been passed to Lachlan Willis.
Though it still helped him store true qi, he hadn’t noticed any other use for it yet.
Cain Wills had repeatedly mentioned that this pendant could suppress his madness, so Lachlan Willis didn’t think too much and took it out.
This pendant had originally been brought by his grandfather from the Ancient Willis family and was later passed down to him by his father.
Seeing Cain Wills demand it, Lachlan Willis instinctively handed it over.
Cain Wills’ eyes glinted with greed as he looked at the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, but then he showed a hint of confusion.
“This… how has this pendant become like this?”
Cain Wills stared blankly at the pendant, then at Lachlan Willis, asking.
“I don’t know! I got the inheritance inside, and it turned into this,” Lachlan Willis said, shaking his head.
Cain Wills muttered to himself, “Got the inheritance? Right, you’ve already received the inheritance of the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant!
Good, then I’ll keep this Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant as a memento!”
“By the way, good grandson, here, take all of these!”
*Whoosh!*
Saying this, Cain Wills threw down several space treasures and snatched the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant from Lachlan Willis.
*Boom!*
Then, he started laughing madly, broke through the roof, and flew into the sky!
“Hahahaha…”
“Hahaha, I’ve got the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant!”
“This Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant was always mine, hahaha…”
“Good grandson! A filial grandson!”
Amidst the mad laughter and ramblings, Cain Wills quickly disappeared from Lachlan Willis’ sight.
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
The next moment, two figures appeared, rushing toward them-it was Michael and Reginald Wills.
“Lachlan Willis, what happened to your grandfather…?” Michael asked, his face full of uncertainty.
Lachlan Willis’ expression was also grim. He shook his head and replied, “It’s nothing! Grandpa still has some things to do, so he left.”
He didn’t mention that Cain Wills often went crazy; he only felt a deep sense of doubt in his heart.
He felt something familiar in his grandfather’s presence, as though he had heard of this condition before.
“Ancestors, I want to know, when my grandfather left the family, what was his level of strength?”
Lachlan Willis hesitated for a moment before asking Michael and Reginald, the elders of the Ancient Willis family.
“Back then? His strength seemed to be in the late stage of Void Reclusion!”
Reginald Wills recalled and said solemnly.
“Late stage of Void Reclusion!”
Lachlan Willis was stunned upon hearing this.
After so many years of madness, with his grandfather even saying he didn’t know what he had been through, his strength had somehow risen from the late stage of Void Reclusion to the level where he could easily kill those in the peak of Fragmentation Void?
Lachlan Willis even felt that his grandfather’s strength might be more terrifying than the gray-clad elder who had easily destroyed the demon Kendrick of the Order Keepers Organization.
Despite losing his sanity often over the years, his strength had continued to grow.
This situation seemed eerily similar to the features of a world-destroying demon that had used a borrowed body to resurrect, as the gray-clad elder once mentioned.
Could it be…
Lachlan Willis suppressed the various doubts in his heart and continued to ask the two elders, “Why did my grandfather leave the family back then? Do you know the details?”
He had asked Violet Willis about it, but Violet, being a younger generation, said that her grandfather, Hayden Willis, had reservations about the matter and couldn’t speak of it directly. Violet didn’t know the specifics.
Michael hesitated for a moment, then told Lachlan Willis what he knew.
“Back then, your grandfather was actually the next head of the family! He held the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant.
However, once when he left the family for some business, he secretly contacted the Broken Pulse Sect with the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant.
Later, Maximus Willis found out and brought people to capture your grandfather on charges of secretly collaborating with the Broken Pulse Sect.
According to Maximus Willis, when he questioned your grandfather about why he was secretly meeting with the Broken Pulse Sect, your grandfather attacked him directly.
Only Maximus Willis and Archer Willis, the law enforcement elder, returned alive. The rest were all killed by your grandfather.
And your grandfather, with the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, never returned to the family. It seems like there was something he couldn’t show the world.
So, the Ancient Willis family labeled your branch as traitors.
Over the years, they’ve been searching for the whereabouts of the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant.”
At this point, Michael sighed and said, “Looking back now, who really knows what happened when Maximus Willis tried to capture your grandfather?
Perhaps it was Maximus himself who wanted to kill your grandfather and take the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, so he framed him.
And your grandfather, thinking that Maximus represented the will of the rest of the family, misunderstood deeply and never returned.
What a pity… If your grandfather didn’t have such deep animosity with the family, our Ancient Willis family would have had a strong warrior at the Great Vehicle level.”
