Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: All Bets Are Off

Ermin felt so angry with himself.

Two things were gnawing at him, and both of them pointed back to himself.

The first was the rotten scheme Kiri had been discussing under the tree he had been resting in that night.

They had discussed watching Tera and making some sort of move towards her, and Kiri had been at the center of it. This disgusting jackal had also been part of them.

At the time, Ermin had dismissed it. He had agreed with their suspicions because Tera was the female who had ruined his life, and he hadn’t cared enough to report what he’d heard.

But now, watching Kiri, Ermin could feel a sick feeling settling in his stomach.

He had known about Kiri’s scheming, and that night had just slipped his mind until now.

And because he had said nothing, Kiri had been free to cause harm to Tera.

Ermin did not have any proof, but he strongly suspected Kiri had a hand in this. The more he thought about it, the more disappointed in himself he became.

The worst could have happened.

Ermin watched Xavi press Feron and Kiri for details.

He needed to tell Tera and Xavi about what he had heard.

What he had overheard that night would only complicate things right now. And it would be best if those five were singled out. He would personally do his very best to force the confessions out of them.

Bringing up the whole issue would not only take away what Feron had just done, but it would also introduce interruptions from the other clan members, and it would unnecessarily draw the whole thing out.

Ermin’s head slowly started to hurt.

He thought of Tera’s face when she heard he had listened to a scheme about her and hadn’t said anything.

He did not like it, but she needed to know.

And he would do his best to grill answers from them, including the fox female—

"I remember now."

Everyone turned to look at Tera, who was now speaking up for the first time.

Kiri’s ears perked up.

Ermin’s eyes widened at the look of anger and disdain on Tera’s face as she glared at Feron.

"I saw you entering my shelter. I wasn’t clear-headed, but I remember you coming inside, and I had to push you out. I didn’t know I had done it that hard."

Kiri, she would face another day. But as for this male. Something needed to be done about him.

Xavi and Ermin slowly returned their attention to Feron, immense rage welling in them.

Xavi took a step towards him. "You..."

Feron trembled before Xavi, his voice small. "PLEASE! I truly don’t remember. I don’t know why I would have gone to the shiftless one’s shelter. I don’t remember—"

"Shiftless?!" Xavi yelled. "She has a name!"

Feron stepped back, shaking. "I—"

"You do not know why you would have gone to her shelter?" Ermin hissed. "With all the foul things you have said about her, you expect me to believe that?"

[Foul things?]

[ヾ(๑╹◡╹)ﾉ🔪]

Tera turned to Ermin. "What does that mean?"

And why was this the first time she was hearing about this?

Ermin looked uncomfortable and was about to answer when the clan members beat him to it.

"That is true. He has been saying certain things. We heard you."

A few other clan members murmured in agreement. Feron’s face went pale as Xavi stood deathly still, a dark look on his face.

"I also heard him talking about her body," another male added.
