Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3092

Othniel said, "That has to do with the forbidden grounds of the Highland Tribe. But this matter must be explained by Chief Weiser because I don't have the authority to speak on it."

Tobiah let out a long sigh and said, "From the moment Knox was born, he possessed divine strength. If we used the outside world's terms, he was already at the martial god level."

Andrew, Juno, and Nyx were all stunned.

None of them had expected Knox to be that extraordinary, born as a martial god. Even Andrew felt that this was something he himself could not compare to.

Tobiah gave a bitter smile and said, "But fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Knox seemed blessed by the heavens, and at the time, I believed our tribe's golden age had arrived. I thought Knox was the rebirth of a true titan who would lead our people to success.

"But in the end, I was wrong. Knox remained the same from birth to adulthood, with no noticeable changes. All the anticipation and excitement slowly turned into disappointment over the years. The Highland Tribe doesn't tolerate the weak, and infants born sickly or disabled are abandoned.

"However, I made a selfish decision and raised Knox, hoping that one day he would change. Yet, when he grew up, he couldn't even defeat an ordinary warrior of the tribe. As mockery and rejection grew, I knew I couldn't keep him here anymore. As his father, I had no choice but to drive him away from the Highland Tribe."

Andrew frowned. "Mr. Fernsby mentioned earlier that Knox's condition is connected to the Highland Tribe's forbidden grounds. Does this mean that Knox should have been able to grow normally and become the tribe's true strongman? But because of the forbidden grounds, he ended up like this."

Tobiah's expression shifted unpredictably. He seemed to remember something, and his face turned extremely grim.

Andrew did not rush him. Instead, he just watched calmly. If Tobiah did not want to talk, he would not press him. Either way, his purpose for this trip had already been achieved.

With that, she dropped to her knees before Andrew.

Andrew quickly stepped aside and went to help Rinnah up. "Please rise… How about this: first, explain everything clearly. That way, I can decide how best to help your Highland Tribe."

With Knox's support, Rinnah stood back up.

Tobiah said, "Fine, I'll tell you everything from the past. The truth is, our tribe was originally a branch of the werewolf clan. Long ago, our warriors were tall and fierce, feared neither heat nor cold, and like the immensely strong werewolves, could fight in any environment."

Andrew and his companions were stunned by this revelation. They had not expected the Highland Tribe actually to share ancestry with the werewolf clan. After all, it seemed almost impossible.
