Chapter 2: The Struggle for Power, the Celestial Dragons' Rebellion in the Undercurrents

After Belmont left, Isaac stood by the window, his eyes cold. Although the Five Elders had sent a representative to warn him, he knew that Belmont's departure meant the Five Elders had realized that he, their heir, was no ordinary person, and that they would certainly take more radical actions next.

"The Five Elders will not sit idly by and wait to be killed," Isaac thought with a cold smile, but at the same time, he realized that the situation had entered a delicate phase. Although he now had Kizaru as an ally, this alone was not enough to completely overthrow the Five Elders' rule; he needed a bigger bargaining chip.

"Young Master, what should we do next?" Kizaru lazily walked to Isaac's side, still with a leisurely expression, as if the confrontation just now had not put any pressure on him at all.

Isaac smiled slightly, his eyes deep: "Next, we will shake the foundations of Mary Geoise. Although the Five Elders control the World Government, there are undercurrents within the Celestial Dragon families. We only need to give them a gentle push to cause the entire system to collapse."

Kizaru narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of interest in his voice: "Oh? Young Master, are you planning to start from within the Celestial Dragon family?"

Isaac nodded: "That's right. The Celestial Dragon families within Mary Geoise appear arrogant and superior on the surface, but in reality, many families are already in a state of division. Although they use their privileges, the real power is in the hands of the Five Elders. As long as we stir up conflict among them and offer them enough temptations, we can make these selfish guys serve us."

“That’s a great idea,” Kizaru said with a smile. “The Celestial Dragons are always scheming against each other, so they naturally won’t stand idly by if someone steps forward to challenge the Five Elders.”

A cold glint flashed in Isaac's eyes: "And all we need to do is fan the flames and create an opportunity for them."

Hours later, Isaac had everything arranged, and he decided to target several ambitious Celestial Dragon families within Mary Geoise. According to the information provided by the system, the family most likely to become his ally was—the Drake Family.

Drake? The Holy Family has a long history among the Celestial Dragons, once being part of the power center of Mary Geoise. However, as the Five Elders gradually consolidated their power, the Drake Family was gradually marginalized, filled with resentment towards them. Yet, due to the Five Elders' suppression, the Drake Family has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to rise again.

“The Drake family is my breakthrough point.” Isaac smiled slightly, already having an idea in mind.

That evening, Isaac, accompanied by Kizaru, secretly visited Drake Saint Yar's mansion. The unexpected visit surprised Drake Saint Yar, the head of the Drake family.

"Young Master Isaac, it is an honor to have you visit us." Although Yar appeared respectful, a hint of wariness was visible in his eyes.

Isaac smiled slightly: "Patriarch Drake, no need to be so polite. I'm here today to discuss a big deal with you."

Yar paused for a moment, then smiled: "Oh? What brilliant idea does the young master have?"

Isaac stated bluntly, "I know your Drake family is very dissatisfied with the current situation. The Five Elders monopolize all power, while you, the former core families, can only eke out a living in their shadow, having lost your real voice."

Yar's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "Young Master, I'm afraid what you're saying is not appropriate to discuss in this setting?"

Isaac smiled and shook his head: "No, Patriarch Drake, I think this is the best time. Your Drake family has a long history and a strong foundation, but if things continue like this, you will forever lose the chance to turn things around."

Yar's expression gradually calmed; he knew Isaac's words were not unfounded. As a once-powerful family, the Drake family had harbored resentment towards the Five Elders, but they had never found a suitable opportunity to retaliate. Now, Isaac's visit seemed to offer them hope.

"Young Master, what are your plans?" Yar pondered in a deep voice, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

Isaac smiled faintly, his tone full of confidence: "It's simple, the era of the Five Elders has come to an end. The world needs a new order, and I—will become the master of this new order. I can help your Drake family rise again and reclaim the power that belongs to you, as long as you are willing to stand on my side."

Yar's breathing became rapid; he was clearly moved by Isaac's words. For the Drake family, such an opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime chance; they could no longer tolerate the oppression of the Five Elders.

"Why should we trust you?" Yar narrowed his eyes, his gaze probing. "The Five Elders control the core power of the entire World Government, and you..."

"You think I'm incapable?" Isaac sneered, his tone filled with domineering arrogance. "Kizaru, show me your strength."

Upon receiving the command, Kizaru lazily walked to the center of the room, flicked his finger, and a golden beam of light instantly struck the wall, cleaving the outdoor garden in two with lightning. The intense light illuminated the night as if it were daytime.

Yar's eyes widened in shock: "Kizaru... the Marine Admiral... is loyal to you?"

Isaac said coldly, "This is just the beginning. I will make all the Celestial Dragon families in Mary Geoise submit to me, and your Drake family will be the first."

Yar remained silent for a moment, a resolute glint in his eyes. He knew that this young heir was no ordinary Celestial Dragon; he possessed the power to completely overturn the power structure of Mary Geoise.

“Alright, I believe you.” Yar finally made his decision, his tone filled with determination. “The Drake family is willing to stand by your side.”

Isaac's lips curled slightly as he coldly said, "Very well. From this moment on, the fate of the Drake family will be tied to mine. The rule of the Five Elders will soon collapse."

That evening, Isaac successfully won over the Drake family, a move that marked his first victory in the power struggle within the Celestial Dragons. The Drake family's addition not only strengthened his power but also laid an important foundation for him within Mary Geoise.

“Next, we need to continue expanding our influence.” Isaac stood outside the Drake family mansion, a deep light gleaming in his eyes. He knew that discontent within Mary Geoise extended far beyond the Drake family; many families were waiting for their opportunity.

Kizaru stood lazily opposite him, smiling as he said, "Oh my, young master, you certainly have some impressive skills. But who will you deal with next?"

A cold glint flashed in Isaac's eyes: "The Fett family."

Kizaru raised an eyebrow, clearly interested in Isaac's decision: "The Fate family? They've been getting a bit too close to the Revolutionary Army lately."

Isaac said coldly, "That's why their ambitions must be shattered. We must make all the Celestial Dragon families understand that the only consequence of opposing me is destruction."

Meanwhile, a secret meeting of the Five Elders was quietly taking place on the other side of the Holy Land.

“Isaac has already begun his actions.” Belmont’s tone was somewhat grave. “He has approached the Drake family, clearly provoking unrest within Mary Geoise.”

“The Drake family?” one of the Five Elders sneered. “Those old geezers who have lost power are still trying to rise again? How laughable.”

“However, Isaac is not a simple successor,” Belmont said in a deep voice. “He possesses some kind of mysterious power, and even Kizaru is loyal to him.”

The five elders exchanged glances, their expressions instantly turning grim.

“It seems we underestimated him,” another of the Five Elders said. “We must act quickly, or this kid will become our greatest threat.”

“I agree. We can’t let him get any more arrogant.” Belmont nodded, a murderous glint in his eyes. “He’s gone too far.”

The Five Elders quickly reached a consensus: they decided to take action against Isaac to prevent him from further expanding his influence within Mary Geoise. However, they were unaware that Isaac had anticipated all of this and was already prepared to face them.
