"Elder, you might have raised me and taught me, but that doesn't excuse the fact that you are disrespecting me and my position as the clan leader."
"I would like to say the same to you.
You might have become the clan leader, but that doesn't mean, you can forget where you came from and what the true extent of your capabilities are. If the clan suffers because of you, I will break every bone in your body and make your crippled body take the throne of the clan leader and lead the clan until your son is ready to take your place.
And you know better than to think I am just bluffing."
The elder left after that.
Time passed slowly.
Sam didn't bother with meeting any clan leaders or deal with any young masters. After a long time, he is lost in his thoughts. He is calculating every single thing in his mind. He even went back to doing calculations on the rocks and trees within the mountains.
Doing small experiments and calculations.
