Chapter 765
"Are you serious?" Keaton asked in surprise. No one knew better than Keaton how much Jonah cared about his nephew.
Given Jonah's temperament, he would've never been so tolerant of people like Maxim and Zeke if it weren't for his nephew's sake. Jonah glared at Keaton and the latter immediately stayed silent.
Zeke noticed this and smiled calmly. "It seems your search hadn't yielded much."
Jonah stared at him and replied coldly, "What news do you have?"
"Well…" Zeke smiled as he took a box out of his pocket. When he opened it, Jonah's eyes twitched!
Inside the box was an emerald pendant! There was an inscription in bold that read, "Heaven." It was written in a way that seemed to capture one's soul. It was almost pulsing with raw energy.
Even Steven narrowed his eyes as he sensed the energy from the inscription.
When grandmasters reached the Heavenly Realm, they could condense their energy and spirit into raw energy. Every move could utilize this raw energy to overpower others.
The inscription in front of them now held an extremely strong raw energy.
However, Steven didn't pay much attention to it because there was something else beyond the raw energy!
When a grandmaster achieved the Divine Realm, their understanding of combat and the essence of existence evolved profoundly! The raw energy they commanded would be elevated and evolved into refined energy.
In the legacy of the Master Sage of Medicine, each letter was imbued with his unique refined energy. Even a knowledgeable Heavenly Realm grandmaster could be deterred by a book filled with refined energy.
Unfortunately, this feeling could only be understood and not described. Thus, very few Heavenly Realm grandmasters knew its value as grandmasters of the Divine Realm were rare. They had no chance to experience the essence of refined energy.
"Where did you get this from?" Jonah grabbed the pendant and looked at Zeke, staring intensely. The energy around him shifted darkly, showing his stormy emotions.
Zeke felt the pressure and his face turned pale, yet the smile on his face grew wider. "It was bought from the Jewel Auction House. It was said that years ago, someone found this pendant in Southbury and sold it.
"After changing hands many times, it ended up at Jewel Auction House."
Hearing this, Jonah's face changed to shock. He seemed to age several years instantly. His fingers trembled slightly as he touched the pendant, letting out a sad laugh.
"Brother… you've even abandoned this…"
Steven watched in confusion. Jonah was known for being tough and rarely showed such sadness. What was happening?
Seeing this, Keaton sighed and explained softly to Steven, "That pendant signifies the direct lineage in General Lewis' family. He had four brothers.
"They were nicknamed the Heaven, Earth, Invincible, and Majestic. General Lewis is the third brother, called Jonah the Invincible. The brother he's looking for is Jovan Lewis. But it seems Jovan sold the pendant that represents the Lewis family."
"Big families are really complicated…" Steven sighed as he watched. In big families, identity was highly valued.
For example, Zane proudly called himself the "13th son of the Quarry family" due to his rank in the family.
Meanwhile, Jonah's elder brother sold his pendant, showing he was getting rid of the family identity, and breaking ties completely with no intention of returning.
"But does that mean his second brother is named Earth Lewis and the fourth Majestic Lewis?" Steven asked curiously. What kind of names were these?
Keaton's mouth twitched. "No, the second brother is Demitri Lewis, which means 'from the Earth.' The fourth brother is Cyril Lewis, meaning 'lord and majesty.'
"Back then, the four Lewis brothers were known as the three tigers and one handler. Each of them had the poise of a leader and the energy of a general. The strongest of them was the eldest, Jonah's elder brother!
"But now, since the second and fourth have died in battle, only the eldest and General Lewis are left. And the eldest… he abandoned his pendant. He must've changed his name and looks, making it hard to find him.
"Otherwise, why would my godfather be forced into such a position…"
