Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3078

Knox's face filled with shame. "You're absolutely right. I don't match up to the Highland Tribe's might in any way, and that's exactly why my parents secretly sent me away from the Highland Tribe. They told me never to come back. They loved me, but I was an outcast among the Highland Tribe, completely unfit to become the next tribal leader.

"If I'd stayed with the tribe, I wouldn't have lived to adulthood and would've been killed. But I was lucky. After wandering the Wastelands, I met Mr. Lloyd Senior, and he brought me into Dragonfang. Later, I met all of you, and that's how things went!"

Petra walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Knox, you don't need to put yourself down anymore. I had no idea you'd been through so much."

Juno said, "Knox, honestly, you are pretty impressive. Look at you now. You're a martial god, and when you finally find the right chance, you'll definitely be able to unleash that power."

Knox opened his mouth with little enthusiasm. "I hope so. Juno, you don't need to comfort me. I'm actually more used to you roasting me!"

Nyx covered her mouth with a laugh. "Well, that makes you sound kind of masochistic, Knox. Don't worry. You're one of us, and from now on we'll all protect you!"

Knox replied glumly, "Nyx, please stop! Before Andrew came along, you were the most powerful person on our team after Mr. Lloyd Senior. Back then, I used to think that if I could marry you and bring you back to the Highland Tribe, it would really make my parents proud."

He sighed dramatically. "Mainly because you're so capable. As my wife, you could help me rule the Highland Tribe. Who would've thought that after all those years of quietly working toward that goal, someone would swoop in and steal you away? Ouch, my heart hurts so much…"

Everyone burst out laughing, and the gloomy mood that had hung over them completely dissipated.
