Chapter 3: The Fett Family's Conspiracy and Isaac's Counterattack
Isaac's plan is progressing steadily. The Drake family's involvement was the first step, and the next target, the Fate family, is another powerful force within Mary Geoise. Fate Saint Ilsa, the head of the Fate family, is an ambitious Celestial Dragon who has long been dissatisfied with the Five Elders' monopoly on power. The Fate family not only possesses abundant wealth but also controls a portion of Mary Geoise's military forces, giving them significant influence within the region. However, Ilsa lacks the courage to directly rebel against the Five Elders; he hopes to leverage the Revolutionary Army's power to launch a covert rebellion.
"Young Master, the Fate family has been in increasingly frequent contact with the Revolutionary Army lately. They seem to be planning a major operation," Kizaru reported lazily, seemingly quite interested in the intrigue behind this Celestial Dragon's back.
"Heh, the Revolutionary Army? Ilsa is incredibly foolish to think he can overthrow the Five Elders by relying on the Revolutionary Army." Isaac sneered, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.
While the Revolutionary Army is powerful, their true goal is to overthrow the entire Celestial Dragon system, and Ilsa has clearly misjudged the situation. Relying on the Revolutionary Army to rise to power will only place him in an even more dangerous position.
Isaac has seen through the Fate family's ambitions. Ilsa is an impatient and opportunistic man who attempts to use external forces to undermine the Five Elders' rule, failing to realize that he himself is merely a pawn of the Revolutionary Army. Isaac must destroy the alliance between the Revolutionary Army and the Fate family before their plan is completed, ensuring that Ilsa completely loses any chance of a comeback.
"Kizaru, notify the Drake family to prepare for action. Tonight, we'll launch a lightning-fast surprise attack."
Kizaru laughed and yawned: "Oh dear, young master really doesn't like trouble. But I like this direct approach."
Isaac decided to wait no longer; he would destroy the Fate family before the Revolutionary Army launched its rebellion. While the Revolutionary Army was undoubtedly a formidable future enemy, the Fate family would be easily defeated without internal support. Once the Fate family was dealt with, Isaac's power would expand further, and the Five Elders' rule would become even more unstable.
That night, the Fette family mansion was brightly lit. Fette Saint Ilsa was making final preparations with several high-ranking family members, their faces showing a mixture of tension and excitement, clearly preparing for the impending revolutionary army attack.
"The Revolutionary Army's plan is flawless; the Five Elders' power will be completely crushed. When that time comes, our Fate family will seize power in Mary Geoise and even become the leader of all the Celestial Dragon families." Ilsa was full of confidence, his eyes revealing greed.
He knew that a storm was quietly brewing in the darkness outside.
"Patriarch, should we contact the Revolutionary Army to confirm their timing?" The family's senior members were clearly looking forward to the upcoming rebellion.
Ilsa nodded: "Go, tell the Revolutionary Army's envoy that once we enter the Red Line, we can cooperate with them to dismantle Mary Geoise's defenses from within."
However, just as they were preparing to take further action, an explosion suddenly rang out outside, plunging the entire mansion into chaos.
"boom--!"
"What's going on?!" Ilsa suddenly stood up, her face changing drastically.
He rushed to the window and looked outside. He saw flames shooting into the sky, and the clan's defenses were battling a sudden enemy attack. Standing amidst the flames was Kizaru's lazy figure.
"Kizaru?! What's he doing here?!" Ilsa exclaimed in horror, her face turning deathly pale.
Kizaru lazily waved his hand, and suddenly a golden light flashed, instantly cleaving several Fate family guards in two. He looked up and chuckled lazily, "Oh dear, Fate family head, unexpected, isn't it? The young master said tonight is your last day."
Ilsa felt a chill run down his spine. He never expected Isaac to launch a surprise attack at this crucial moment. He had thought his cooperation with the Revolutionary Army was flawless, and that no one would suspect their conspiracy. But now, everything was exposed to Isaac's control.
"Retreat! Retreat now!" Ilsa hurriedly gave the order. He knew that he was powerless to resist Kizaru's offensive and could only retreat and wait for the Revolutionary Army's reinforcements.
However, Isaac quickly anticipated their reaction. Just as Kizaru launched his surprise attack, the Drake family's private army had already surrounded the Fate family's mansion from all sides, completely cutting off all escape routes.
In a panic, Ilsa tried to escape, but as soon as he rushed out the door, he was forced back by a powerful force. He looked up and saw Isaac standing in the doorway, watching him with a cold smile.
“Ilsa, do you think you have a chance?” Isaac’s voice was cold and full of disdain.
Ilsa gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with fear and rage: "Isaac! Are you insane? You're disrupting the balance among the Celestial Dragons! The Five Elders won't let you get away with this!"
Isaac sneered, "The Five Elders? Once I've wiped you out, they'll be next."
Ilsa completely broke down. He knew the Fate family was finished, and the Revolutionary Army's plans were doomed. He knelt on the ground, his face deathly pale: "No...it can't be...you can't do this...we're all Celestial Dragons..."
Isaac's eyes were cold, devoid of any pity: "Celestial Dragons? To me, there is only obedience or death."
Ilsa knew he had no way out. His body trembled with fear, and he instantly lowered his head. In that instant, Kizaru's laser beam struck his chest, ending his life.
With Ilsa's death, the Fett family's power completely collapsed. Those soldiers who had once been loyal to the Fett family defected and surrendered under Isaac's ruthless methods, plunging the entire mansion into bloody chaos.
Hours later, the Fett family mansion was reduced to ruins. Isaac stood in the center of the ruins, looking down at everything, his heart unmoved.
"Young Master, the Fate family has been completely destroyed." Kizaru walked forward with a smile, his tone relaxed.
Isaac nodded and said coldly, "Very well, the Revolutionary Army's internal support has been cut off, and their plan has failed as a result."
Kizaru chuckled lightly: "Oh my, young master is certainly decisive. However, the Five Elders will definitely take action next; they can't just sit idly by and watch you gradually erode Mary Geoise's power."
A cold glint flashed in Isaac's eyes: "I anticipated the Five Elders' counterattack. Now, it's their turn."
Meanwhile, in the secret meeting room of the Five Elders on the other side of Mary Geoise, the atmosphere was unusually tense.
"The Fett family... destroyed by Isaac?" Belmont stood in front of the conference table, his face ashen, clearly not expecting Isaac's actions to be so swift.
“He’s no longer hiding his ambitions; the Fett family is just the beginning,” another Elder said coldly. “Isaac has reached the edge of our power. If we don’t stop him soon, he will completely shake the foundations of Mary Geoise.”
Belmont scoffed, "Unsettle the foundation? Does he think he can challenge the Five Elders with just Kizaru and a few rebellious families? How naive."
“We cannot allow him to continue expanding his power; we must take immediate action.” Another of the Five Elders spoke coldly, his eyes revealing murderous intent.
