CONFIDENCE

Although she was asking for help, her tone was neither servile nor overbearing. Her attitude and manner were that of a young woman from a big family, a young woman used to lead. It had a chilling effect on the Rodriguez family, though. she didn't know Isabella's identity, seeing the commanding attitude of this woman. Rebecca didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore. Instead, she took a chance and laughed out loud.

“Did I actually hear you right? You actually said that this piece of trash has incredible skills. This is too ridiculous. Do you really want to invite him to treat your grandfather's illness? You must hate your grandfather. This piece of trash is not a doctor, and he doesn't understand medicine at all. He's nothing but a wimp”.

Jessica seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. She joined in her mother's laughter. “ Raymond didn't cure my father. No, no, no. My dad just came back to life. He was sticking needles into my dad at the time. So it seemed like he cured my dad. Actually, it wasn't like that at all. It was a complete coincidence. Sorry, but you're barking up the wrong tree”.

“Yes, miss. I'm sorry for your grandfather, but you have definitely found the wrong person”. Rebecca added

“Is that so?” Isabella couldn't help but mutter in her heart, especially when she examined Raymond's still unattractive appearance. He didn't look like a godly doctor at all. Besides, he was so young But Uncle Harry said that he was a godly doctor. It couldn't be a lie, could it? Donald Rodriguez was certainly sitting at the dining table. Large is life. Had he really been cured by Raymond? Or was this just a coincidence? Whatever. Since she was here already, if there was even a glimmer of hope, Isabella would do what she could.

Isabella made up her mind and then said to Raymond “Mr Hernandez, do you have any medical skills at all? Anything since I've come personally to invite you, please come with me and at least try surprising me”.

Raymond took a step forward and looked at this woman with a tremendous poise. He said very seriously. “I can save your grandfather”.

Isabella was stunned along with everyone else in the room. Jessica said. “What are you talking about? Trash. You don't have any medical skills or knowledge at all. Why do you insist on pretending to be a big shot?” Raymond ignored Jessica and continued to say to Isabella.

“Since I could cure my father-in-law, I can cure your grandfather no matter what kind of illness your grandfather is suffering from. Isabella raised her chin and looked at the young man in front of her with great interest. At the same time, she judged that this young man was really confident. Or was he just talking big? “Are you that confident?” Isabella asked.

Raymond nodded. “Absolutely. Since you came to find me today, you must have confidence in me too”.

“Am I right? But it doesn't matter. Even if you don't have confidence in me, it doesn't matter. When I cure your grandfather's illness, I believe you'll have a whole new level of respect for me”. Raymond's words were completely shocking to the Rodriguezs.

“Damn this piece of trash is addicted to boasting and he's shameless. He thinks that others will look at him in a new light. What does he think he is? Does he really think of himself as a godly doctor?”

Jessica said “it was an exaggerated expression of amazement”.

“Whatever you think I've invited Mr Hernandez to come with me?” Isabella said she sincerely came to invite Raymond today. She had thought he would probably put on air if say a few polite words, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily. She'd expected to have to work to convince him.

“Wait”, Raymond said. Isabella looked at him with her bright eyes. “I'm willing to cure your grandfather, but what can you give me in exchange?” Raymond said he was talking about conditions trying to make a deal.

“What do you want? Isabella asked with interest.

“Money, Can you give me money?” Raymond said. Isabella was stunned for a moment and then smiled. “Of course I can. How much do you want?”

“ 10. million dollars”. Raymond didn't even think about it and spat out the number. Rebecca, Jessica, Stephanie and Donald all opened their mouths wide and shocked.

“10 million?. Was this guy crazy? He knew nothing. Yet he pretended to be a big shot and asked for $10 million. This person was really sick”.

Stephanie. couldn't continue watching. She felt that her husband was a joke right then. She stood up. “Raymond, that's enough. Stop showing off”. Then Stephanie said to Isabella, “I'm sorry. Miss. You found the wrong person. My husband does not know medicine at all, so he's no good to you. He cannot treat your grandfather's illness. Please find someone else”.

Raymond was a little anxious. “Stephanie, don't. This is the chance for me to earn money at last. Don't blow this for me, please”.

Stephanie glared at him fiercely and softly scolded. “Are you sick? What chance to earn money? You don't know anything at all? How are you going to earn money?”

“ I…..” Raymond wanted to explain, but Isabella suddenly smiled and said “10 million. That's easy. As long as you can cure my grandpa. 100 million is not a problem”.

The people of the Rodriguez family were shocked. This woman had actually agreed to Raymond's crazy demand. somewhat amazed, he said.

“Really. Can you really give me 10 million? Is your family very rich?” Raymond had to confirm whether this woman had $10 million in her family. If she gave him a dud check, he might never find a way to earn enough to help his wife's company.

Stephanie almost fainted when she heard Raymond ask if there was money in Isabella's family. She couldn't believe he would be so rude. But Isabella was amused by Raymond's straightforward manner.

She thought it was cute that he actually directly asked if her family was very rich. “Don't worry, money is nothing to the green family. I will definitely keep my word if you cure my grandfather”. Isabella said

“Green family?” Rebecca's expression changed. Which green family?

    THE ENEMY LISTA heavy silence filled the room after the old man finished speaking. The dim light above the bed cast long shadows across the walls, making the atmosphere feel even colder than before. Raymond stood beside the bed without saying a word, but inwardly, his emotions were surging violently. For the past five years, he had lived like a useless stray dog, humiliated and trampled upon by others while carrying countless unanswered questions about his family’s destruction. Now, for the first time, someone was finally revealing the truth hidden behind that nightmare.The Hernandez family had not fallen because of simple business failure.They had been targeted.Destroyed deliberately.And the people responsible were connected to the Black Serpent.Raymond slowly clenched his fists as a dangerous coldness appeared in his eyes. The air around him seemed to grow heavier without anyone noticing.The old man carefully observed Raymond’s reaction before speaking again.“Your father kne

    THE OLD MAN’S SECRETThe atmosphere inside the corridor became tense as Raymond, Isabella, and Robert quickly made their way toward the old master’s room. The guards stationed along the hallway immediately stepped aside upon seeing them approach, but the uneasiness on their faces was impossible to hide. Ever since the servant’s death and the revelations surrounding Robert, the entire mansion had fallen into chaos beneath its luxurious surface.Isabella’s heart was beating rapidly as she walked beside Raymond. Her mind was still overwhelmed by everything she had heard moments ago. The existence of the Black Serpent, her uncle’s betrayal, and the realization that someone inside the Green family was still working with that organization made her feel as though the ground beneath her feet had become unstable.Robert followed closely behind them, but unlike before, his expression carried obvious fear. He kept glancing nervously around the corridor as though expecting danger to appear from t

    THE BLACK SERPENTA heavy silence lingered inside the room after Robert finished speaking. The dim light above them cast dark shadows across the walls, making the already tense atmosphere feel even more oppressive. Isabella stood motionless beside the door, her expression pale and complicated. The information Robert had just revealed was far beyond anything she had imagined. What began as an attempt to uncover the truth behind her grandfather’s poisoning had now exposed something much deeper and far more dangerous.Raymond, however, remained calm on the surface. His expression did not change much, but his eyes had gradually turned colder. He had already suspected there was another force operating behind Robert, yet hearing it confirmed directly still carried weight.“They know about me already?” Raymond asked calmly.Robert nodded immediately.“Yes.”“How?”Robert hesitated briefly before answering.“After you saved my father tonight, word spread faster than expected. People inside th

    THE CONDITIONThe atmosphere inside the east wing was heavy and oppressive as Raymond and Isabella walked down the dimly lit corridor toward the locked room where Robert was being held. Two guards stood outside the door with tense expressions, clearly uneasy after everything that had happened throughout the night. The news of Mr. Hale’s death had already spread among the guards, causing fear and suspicion to grow inside the mansion.One of the guards stepped forward immediately after seeing Isabella.“Miss Isabella.”“How is he?” Isabella asked.The guard hesitated briefly before answering.“He’s been demanding to see you for the past several minutes. He keeps saying he has information about the person behind all this.”Raymond’s expression remained calm, but inwardly, he became more cautious. Robert was not the type to suddenly cooperate unless he had no other option left.“Open the door,” Isabella said firmly.The guard nodded and unlocked the door quickly. As the heavy door swung o

    THE SILENCERThe moment Mr. Hale’s body hit the ground, the garden fell into a suffocating silence. The faint rustling of leaves in the night breeze was the only sound that remained, but even that seemed unnaturally loud under the circumstances. Isabella stood frozen, her eyes fixed on the butler’s lifeless body, unable to process what had just happened. Just seconds ago, he had been speaking… and now he was gone.Raymond did not move immediately. His gaze had already shifted beyond the body on the ground, locking onto the dark perimeter of the estate. The dart embedded in Mr. Hale’s neck was thin and precise, clearly launched from a distance with deadly accuracy. This was not a random act. It was deliberate, calculated, and executed without hesitation.“They’re still here,” Raymond said calmly.His voice broke the silence, but it only made the tension heavier.Isabella finally snapped out of her shock.“What… what do you mean?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.Raymond’s eyes

    THE RUNNERThe night air outside the mansion was cold and heavy, carrying a faint scent of damp grass as the shadowed figure sprinted across the garden toward the outer gate. The path lights cast long, flickering silhouettes on the ground, making the entire scene feel tense and unreal. The guards stationed around the estate had already begun reacting to the commotion, but the figure moved with surprising familiarity, weaving through the paths as though they had memorized every corner of the place.“Stop right there!” Isabella shouted again, her voice echoing across the garden, but the figure did not slow down even for a second.Raymond’s eyes sharpened as he followed closely behind. Although his body still carried traces of weakness from earlier, the surge of urgency pushed him forward. His breathing remained steady, and his movements were controlled, but there was a clear increase in speed compared to before. The faint energy within him seemed to respond once again, as if danger itse
