Back stabbing

"You son of bitch.", the sixth uncle shouted at Fei and got ready to attack him while fuming.

"Hold it right there.", Fei's mother also took a fighting stance and stared at him. Suddenly, the patriarch showed up while the tornado of air was created and both of them pushed back.

"Both of you. Don't do anything foolish.", he shouted with might. Soon the pin-drop silence was there.

"Why did the two of you fight, boy?", he asked while looking at the dead body and towards him with a piercing gaze.

"He attacked me first while I was heading toward the library.", he explained while gasping for air.

"Why did you kill him?", he asked him calmly observing his reaction.

"He burned his foundation to attack me. I had no option.", he calmly replied to the patriarch while maintaining eye contact.

"That's a lie. You dare to kill people in the middle of the day.", the sixth uncle yelled and stared at him.

"I was only defending at first. You can ask other people.", he gazed at him and replied.

"Y-you … ", he lost his words and pointed his finger toward him continuously.

"That's enough. Let's end this today, we will discuss and reach the final decision tomorrow at my house. All the people go home.", patriarch disperse the crowd.

While sobbing for his son, the sixth uncle carried his son and stared at him like a wounded tiger. Soon all the people went toward their home while Fei was supported by his mother and walked toward their house.

"Are you all right? Let me see your wound.", his mother enquired while being restless.

"I am alright. It's just a superficial wound.", he told her and ate a high-quality pill. Soon all his wounds disappeared and only tattered cloth remained. Seeing him alright, she let out a big sigh and prepared new cloth for him. He bathed with the help of his mother and wore his new cloth.

He had a hunch that something was not right and started to roam around while thinking. While his mother was sleeping, he slowly got up from bed and started to head towards the patriarch home. With light steps, he infiltrated into the house and observed around it. Most of the clan members were in deep sleep but at this time in the meeting room, most of the elders, patriarch, his uncles, and his grandfather were discussing something.

"I want revenge for my son. I want that rascal dead.", the sixth uncle declared while gritting his teeth.

"You shut up. How can you be so idiot? Why did you let your son be so dumb.", patriarch roared.

Soon the roam was filled with an extreme exchange of words.

"All of you, shut your mouth.", Fei's grandfather spoke with his old voice. Soon the room became pin-drop silence. Everyone looked toward and old man with respect.

"What are you people debating about? We don't have to discuss this matter further.", grandfather shouted at them.

"They are un-auspicious for our clan. We have to get rid of them as soon as possible. The longer they remain, the longer calamity will follow us. Tomorrow, kill that mother and son.", he declared his hatred towards them. Soon all of them agreed on this.

Sensing the dangerous situation, Fei got a little nervous and many thoughts came into his mind. He slowly disappeared from there and appeared inside his home. Thinking about all the pros and cons, he thought this was the best outcome as he had to go to places that is bigger and stronger than this town. If he had loose ends then he will get stuck in this place so he decide to go to other places and create his own clan. He slowly approach his mother and caressed her hair for a minute. Sensing his son awake at the time, she slowly opened her eyes and asked "what's the matter?" with her eyes.

"I think we have to leave tonight.", he dropped the bomb to her.

"Why? What's the matter? Is something bothering you?", she asked with doubt.

"Well. The fact is ... ", and he narrated everything about the events and their talks. The more he talked, the more furious she became. In the end, she was shaking with anger and hatred toward all the clan members. Soon she was cursing them with wild words and he was observing her with amusement. In the lightning speed, she collected all the things of their home into her dimensional ring and rubbed her belly then kissed him passionately. With his hand on her hand, she dashed outside the house and looked around the place for the last time with tears in her eye. They both disappeared from that place and after five minutes appear at the nearest mountain peak and look back for the last time toward the town.
