Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2920

Andrew showed no surprise at all. "I could tell that Knox is a top-tier martial god, but he gives me a strange feeling."

Knox smirked. "Of course! While I'm at the martial god level, I lack the bite. My actual combat power is ranked dead last in Dragonfang, trash tier."

Andrew looked puzzled, so Franz explained, "Knox’s situation is unusual. He truly is a martial god, and his level is even higher than Nyx’s. However, his power could not be used offensively; it could only be used to save people. That's why his nickname is Ambulance. Reginald had been trying to fix that. Come on, it's time to move."

He added, "Before we leave, I need to confirm one more time. Andrew, are you really going to participate in this operation?"

Andrew smiled. "Mr. Hearst, you made it sound like I have a choice. By the way, where's my father?"

Franz replied, "He went to meet with the werewolf clan's lord, Mr. Viktor Kessler. The situation in the Outlands has been very chaotic lately, and the Deadlands is where his focus is. Dragonfang has always been fighting on multiple fronts."

Andrew's heart stirred, but he resisted the urge to ask more questions. He knew why Reginald's focus was on the Deadlands.

The entrance to The Veiled Paradise was in the Deadlands, and Eleanor was from The Veiled Paradise.

Later, the massive armored vehicle started up. Franz led the team, with Nyx serving as the strongest backup. Meanwhile, Juno was the main attacker, and Petra was in charge of the assault.

Andrew fell silent.

Franz gave a bitter smile and added, "Andrew, Juno only told part of the truth, so don’t let it scare you. The real reason was that every single one of us carried a kill order. Some came from the Lomuia Grand Cathedral, some from transcendent Outlands powers, some from the Dark Clans, and some from the major foreign nations."

He said, "For example, do you know how much Nyx was worth on the Dark Clans bounty list? Three billion Meurico dollars, and it is still rising. Reginald didn’t want any member of Dragonfang to live a life where they could be hunted down at any moment.

"So under his leadership, we had to keep growing, and we had to keep taking resources and profits. At the very least, one day, Dragonfang’s people might not live freely in the sunlight, but we would be rich enough to retire safely, disappear into the world, and live the rest of our lives in comfort. That was the promise he made to everyone in Dragonfang."
