I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree-Chapter 20 - Turns Out There Were Traitors (4/5)

Half an hour later, Orson stood at the entrance of the tribe. The longsword in his hand was still dripping blood.

With his Tier 7 strength, dealing with the beastmen of this tribe was like a professional soldier fighting infants.

The only thing that could limit Orson’s stamina was canceled out by the fact that Orson practiced both physical and magical arts and could enhance himself with magic.

There was nothing else for it. Sometimes, you had to be this ruthless.

If you don’t root out the weeds, they will grow back with the spring breeze.

He couldn’t protect that demi-human tribe forever. If he spared the beastman tribe before him, a new leader would surely emerge afterward.

That leader, upon seeing Arati’s tribe and knowing Orson was gone, would definitely launch a revenge attack on Arati’s tribe.

And at that time, it would be the demi-humans who would suffer.

As for the reason Orson did this?

Was it justice? Orson didn’t think so.

In the desert, there was no such thing as justice or evil. There was only survival. Survival was justice.

He wanted to help Arati’s demi-human tribe survive. That was all.

As for the beastman women and children, Orson didn’t spare them either.

Without food, they would ultimately die painfully from starvation. Even if they were rescued by other tribes, they would inevitably incite those tribes to attack Arati.

Rather than that, it was better to have their hatred directed at himself.

Anyway, there were already quite a few beastmen who had died because of him.

Adding this group didn’t matter. It was simply a difference between doing it himself and doing it through others.

After thinking all this through, Orson ignited a flame in his hand and set the beastman tribe before him ablaze.

On the other side, in Arati’s tribe, conflict had already emerged.

Some young people absolutely refused to go out hunting and instead remained in the tribe.

When the other men had all gone out, they instead surrounded Arati’s house.

“Chieftain, you need to give us an explanation,” a young man said, looking at Arati standing at the entrance, his tone hostile. “The loss of our food is all your fault, isn’t it?”

“Although you apologized at the assembly, is this the kind of thing that can be solved with an apology?!” Another young man stepped forward, pointing a finger at Arati. There was absolutely no trace of respect in his manner.

Arati frowned tightly.

Molent had already gone out hunting with the others. The only people remaining in the village now were either a group of women or a group of children. They were completely incapable of resisting the few young and strong men before them.

Not to mention that some of them were even holding weapons like hammers and wooden clubs.

“So what do you want?” Arati said this, looking at the group of people at the entrance. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

“Chieftain Arati, you have been in the position of chieftain long enough. We are very grateful for your contributions to the tribe before, but now, please step down and yield to a more capable person.” Seeing Arati ask, a young man felt the time was right. He swaggered out.

“If this incident had been handled by me, it would never have turned out this way. I would definitely have prioritized the interests of the majority of the tribe, having them evacuate with the resources first, and then returning to find those who were separated later, instead of wasting time on such meaningless matters and ultimately losing all the tribe’s grain.”

“So your goal is to force me to step down?” Arati raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, old man, you should have stepped down long ago!”

At this moment, Laina emerged from behind Arati.

She stood in front of Arati, her hands protecting Arati.

“You bunch of scoundrels! Aren’t the lost members of the tribe also a part of it? If we had moved, what would have happened if they returned just as we were leaving? What would have happened if the beastmen happened to come here at that time and saw an empty tribe and them?”

“Are we supposed to abandon those people just for the sake of the majority of the tribe’s interests?!” Laina said this, her tone full of criticism.

“Scoundrel! What nonsense are you spouting here! Don’t you see they couldn’t come back?!” a young man retorted Laina. “In the end, we gained nothing, only a few corpses, and our current state of being about to starve to death!”

“But... but it’s not because... it’s not because we didn’t know they had already met with an accident...”

Seeing that they couldn’t reason with Laina, a few young men prepared to resort to forceful means.

One person walked up, holding a club.

“If you don’t want anything unexpected to happen, just obediently hand over the position of chieftain. Otherwise, I also don’t want anything ‘unexpected’ to happen.”

At this moment, Laina suddenly stepped on the young man’s foot. The young man cried out in pain, then reached out to protect himself.

With that, the club instantly fell to the ground. Laina seized the opportunity to pick it up, holding it across her chest in a defensive posture.

“Laina, we usually see you as a lively character in the tribe, which is why we’ve been polite to you. You’re forcing us to lay hands on you now!” the young man said this, motioning for his companions to step forward.

“You... don’t come any closer! We’re all from the same tribe. Why can’t we sit down and talk things over properly!” Although Laina held a weapon in her hand, at this moment, she was only using it to defend herself.

Just then, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Laina looked through the crowd. Upon seeing the familiar white cloak, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

“It’s big brother Edward!” She said this, waving to Orson.

The young man looked at Orson, who had returned to the tribe, in surprise.

He had planned to stir up trouble and take power only after Orson, the outsider, had gone far away. He hadn’t expected Orson to return so unexpectedly.

“You guy, didn’t you leave?”

“I encountered something unexpected and wanted to come back and tell you. Then I saw this scene,” Orson said this, smiling.

“I heard some interesting things. The reason the beastmen came to inspect a day early seems to be because someone secretly informed the beastmen. I wonder who that was?”

Although Orson didn’t explicitly say it, it was clear that his target was the leader of this group of young opponents, the young man whose foot Laina had stepped on.

“You... don’t talk nonsense! How can you slander me!”

“Slander?” Orson heard this and looked in Laina’s direction in confusion.

“Laina, did I just say who it was?”

“Pfft,” Laina heard this and was amused.

Subsequently, the young man became enraged.

“Damn it! I don’t care anymore! Brothers, go! Give this person a beating! Let him know the consequences of being nosy!”

“Ah, big brother, be careful!” Laina said this, but before her words had even fallen for a few seconds, the few young demi-humans were already lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

“Heh, with this level of skill, you’re still thinking of rebellion?” Orson clapped his hands. After simply tying up the few young men with rope, he dusted off his hands.

He didn’t want to see blood in this tribe. He had simply been a bit heavy-handed with these traitors, but they were far from dead.

After dealing with this, Orson looked at Laina and Arati.

“Chieftain Arati, Laina, are you alright?”
