Isidore went home with a light heart. He's so excited to share his foods to Iris. Even though Julia has just called for a divorce, he wasn't very much affected by it.After all, Julia granted him a freedom.“I'm home!” Isidore shouted gleefully the moment he entered their newly rented apartment. It's small and very basic. If compared to the White's house, Ceres apartment is nothing but a mere ant.“Brother!” Iris called with anticipation as she went to him. Isidore, with his full enthusiasm, placed the food he brought to the little dining table they have. He proceeded to take out each of the foods from the plastics and opened it. He was very keen to let Iris taste the delicious food he bought. He even had a chocolates from the grocery.But Iris seems like she has something to say. She loves food but she is unusual today and rather reacted nonchalant. Isidore furrowed his brows at his sister. “What is it, Iris?”Iris only bit her lower lip. As soon as she realized Isidore won't take s

Isidore wore only his basic clothes. A white t-shirt and a faded ripped jeans that look like it has been dump in the thrift store for months. He is now on his way to the lawyer's office of where Julia wanted to signed the divorce papers. He didn't even know why Julia would bother for them to sign the papers in a law firm where in fact she can just approach him and give him the papers. So much time needed over unimportant and trivial matter.Upon arriving to the destination he saw many reporters outside the law firm. He just heaved a sigh. Isidore knew where this is going. He rolled his eyes upon realizing the reason why his soon to-be-ex-wife would go to such extent of going in a law firm. Of course, none other than but to humiliate him in front of everyone around Clandver.'My wife really wants to put a show, huh? Alright, then I'll show her what a show really mean is,' he said to himself before stepping out from the taxi.The moment he got out, people looked in his way. They glare

Jameson's face flushed red in anger upon hearing Isidore. "What did you say, you loser?" He gritted his teeth. Julia has her annoyed look in her face after Isidore's words. It was true she cheated, but she firmly believed that it was all because of his incapability of giving her what she wanted and needed in the first place. After all, Isidore was deemed as a useless husband who is worthless and always pathetic.She laughed sarcastically. "Hah! You only say that because you're insecure of Jameson who can buy me everything I want!"Jameson smirked. "That's right, babygirl. Don't worry, I'll make sure to buy you a birkin bag after this. You deserve everything in this world, apparently your once husband here didn't realize that." He looked at Isidore with his humiliating look. "Oh well, I forgot, your husband can't even barely afford anything." He chuckled.'Tsk. Like as if she didn't dried my salary every paycheck,' Isidore thought to himself. The lawyer rubbed his nose and talked to
Medici Return: The Ancient Healer Chapter 1
The sound of the ambulance that keeps coming was the reason why outside of the hospital was full of fuss. There were dying and injured individuals pushed by the paramedics towards the entrance. Families are weeping and crying. Everyone was in their own state of emotion. While there in the corner, beside the huge concrete pillar, stands a man who was persistently trying to call his wife. Biting his nails in a nervous manner, Isidore Medici almost wept when the last call was still rejected. 'Please just fifty thousand!' he cried like his wife could hear his mind. When no response was initiated, throwing away shame and heavily carrying the last of his dignity, Isidore ran back inside the Hospital. He has come into resort of begging to the head of the cardiology department. He was in a desperate state just so her sister could have the scheduled operation today. “I promise I'll pay the needed amount. Just please...please have my sister undergo the operation while I gather the money.”
Medici Return: The Ancient Healer Chapter 2
It was Jameson Roy, the head of the cardiology department. “They owed the hospital a huge amount of money. If you help them, I'll deduct all of your salary to 20%!” The Doctors were threatened by Jameson's words. It seems as if they forgot their Hippocratic Oath and step back from the dying patient in front of them.Isidore shook his head out of disbelief. Soon, crowds doubled and started gossiping and pointing. His sister's eyes weakly opened and tried to smile at him. “J-just l-let me go. Y-you must e-enjoy your l-life my d-dear b-b-brother...”“No. Don't say that please...”Isidore remembered how he and Iris had escaped with their mum from their country 15 years ago when Algoria was at war with Bergium. His grandparents and father died in the bomb attack. All of their family were badly injured.His mother was also awfully injured, but luckily, they escaped and came to Carreon and got settled as refugees at Clandver City. However, his mother didn’t make it due to severe injury

With the little money he has in his pocket. Isidore called for a taxi to bring them to the White’s Herbal Farm. Since the security knew him, he was able to enter without restrictions. With haste, he went to the small hut nearby the fence and placed the dying Iris down to the wooden floor. Panicking and panting, with his shaking hands, Isidore plucked six of eight-leaf herb, two cerulean lily-like flower, and one dried aloe vera. He washed the herbs and plants he gathered and with his bloodied grip, he squeeze it raw. According to the System in his mind, any flowing water of mother nature will be the last ingredient and the potion will then be effective.And the only natural water around the area was the Woley, the modified water system that flows from Mt. Wou. He used a well-cleaned coconut shell as a bowl to mix. And when everything was all set up, he looked at the time with his cold sweat. 5 minutes left...An invisible bar popped out in a flickering red. Warning Isidore about

Just a few seconds ago...“My deepest condolence to you.” Isidore stared at his breathless sister still. The security started to walk away but he stayed and waited for the time to complete. [2 seconds...]2 seconds left and Iris was already closing her eyes leaving her weary breath.“Please work...”Isidore held his sister's hand to give warm to its dropping body temperature. “Please...please,” he beg with too much hope.[1 second]1 second but nothing happened. Isidore did not panic, nor scared. He knew it from the start before accepting the mission that it's either a deal or kill. Deep in his mind and heart he prepared himself for the consequences of trusting the unknown voice in his head. But still...he hoped.“I'm s-sorry,” his voice cracked as he utter these words. “I'm so sorry.” He cried and embraced his dead sister. He knew everything was too risky but still, hoping was the only thing he could do. And those who hope are not hopeless. His sob were low but heavy. His heart
Medici Return: The Ancient Healer Chapter 5
Isidore and Iris roamed around the city to look for an apartment for the time being. Isidore knew he can't swallow the disgusting action of his wife. After she just revealed that she cheated on him with Jameson Roy, he knew he had to take his sister away from those rascals. After all, they were the reason why his sister had suffer great pain although it was only for a short amount of time.“Are you sure you are fully okay now?” Isidore asked again. It was his sixth time of asking about her condition. Because although he has already trusted the system he still can't ignore the fact that Iris were in a lot of pain just awhile ago.“I told you, I'm fine! I'm so much fine than I ever was since my illness progressed,” she said as she formed her small muscles in her thin arm.Isidore sigh. “Okay. Just don't hide your pain from me, okay? I'll be here for you, I'll be here for the both of us.”Iris smiled to his worried brother. She leaned on the seat of the cab. It was already 1 hour sinc

Isidore blinked from what he heard from the other line. He's not hearing it wrong, right? Divorce. For 5 years of marriage, he and his sister has not been able to enjoy life under that family's provision. He know he own them for the help they extended. But that doesn't give them the freedom to humiliate and belittle them. Also, it wasn't free. Isidore paid them very well from his hardwork in research. The White's family own a laboratory facility for researching herbal medicine. And Isidore contributed so much to these research. He knew he could earn more than his minimum wage from the Whites if he'll try to apply to other companies.Only if his sister was not ill. He would have quit his job from Whites family and hunt for another. But he could not afford to waste a day and wait for job interviews approval.And even if he would quit, he knew the White's will do everything to stop him from applying to other company. Therefore, for all the downgrade they received, a divorce would

Isidore was contemplating as he sat there on the sofa. He was silently meditating, and preparing himself for an unexpected urgent mission from the silly voice inside his head.Although he was very curious about the special gift, he still fears the thought of having another urgent mission that could result in death if not attended at the right time.If he die now, how would he get revenge? Who will then take care of his sister?Speaking of sister...It has been an hour since he left her in the apartment alone. Isidore quickly reached for his phone and gasped upon seeing the 30+ messages and 14+ missed calls from her. The drama earlier took his time, and now he has to deal with Iris' undending questions the moment he comes back.“Shi* I have to go,” he said, without taking a look at the people inside the lounge.Greg stood abruptly and went to Isidore. “Mr. Isidore! Are you going home now? H-How about the investment? How will I contact you? You're not backing out, right?” He was so ner

“Quick! Move your lazy ass and get Mr. Isidore some ginger and lagundi leaves!” Greg ordered to his people, as he too was busy typing on his phone.After Isidore received another urgent mission from the unknown system in his head, he requested Greg for the certain herbal medicine he needed. Luckily, it's not hard to look for it because it's only common, including in the market. Or else he would probably be expecting death the moment he received the notification. Because who sane human being could prepare a medicine for 5 minutes without having the ingredients first? “Sir! We're out of stock for ginger.”Greg angrily glared at the man who reported to him. “You bastard! I will have you removed from the company if you can't find the ingredients within 3 minutes!”The man, who seems to be Greg's assistant, paled and nervously scurried away to look for the ingredients. He just witnessed the scene earlier, and he knew he too couldn't afford to lose his job. Because even though he saw Isi

Isidore was so shocked upon receiving the notification of 1 million dollars. He blinked, unable to process the surreal amount of numbers he received.'This mission will make me rich,' he thought to himself.“Uhm, s-sir? Should we proceed to the lounge? Or y-you'll settle your business first with my staff?”Isidore was pulled back to reality when Manager Greg talked. His brows furrowed, and coughed a little to calm himself, and he turned to the junior manager who gambled her job and her boyfriend's bank account.His head held high. Looking down, Isidore's condescending eyes met the arrogant manager who was kneeling in front of him. “So? The bet you risk, where is it now?”The junior manager trembled as she shook her head. Her palms were rubbing against each other as she was about to weep. "Please, please, please? I admit I was wrong. Spare me, please? I need this job. Please, I'm begging you.” She cried in front of everyone after she pleaded.Although she knew Isidore would hardly acc

“Ma'am!” Leya approached the manager and supported her to stand up. “Are you alright? You seemed like who just saw a ghost and frightened.”“I-I'm alright, Leya...”She looked at Isidore with her horrified eyes. She couldn't believe the small paper on her hand. Because it is no other than the receipt of one hundred thousand dollars! Suddenly a group of people rushing down towards the cashier with confused and startled face.“Who is it?” the guy in black suit asked. He seems like the boss of them all.The junior manager felt fear upon seeing her boss in the scene.Jameson on Isidore's side chuckled as he said. “You're doom now. That's Deputy General Manager Greg. He will surely fracture your useless bone and drag you out away from this store.” As soon as the Deputy General Manager saw Jameson, he abruptly approached the Doctor and pushed aside Isidore who was standing on his way. “Doctor Jameson! It is an honor to have you here!” The General Manager held Jameson hand and repeatedly

“Tsk! Obviously you are building your own hall of shame,” the manager sneered. But Isidore wasn't affected at all and instead remained calm. He knew very well that he is not building his hall of shame today. And if there is one, that would be the arrogant manager in front of him.“Why? Are you afraid that I might really be able to pay the said one-hundred thousand dollars and humiliate you?” The manager sour upon hearing Isidore's confidence. “Hah! Don't be too full of yourself!”“Okay. Then why don't you just give me all the chocolates available in this grocery?” Isidore shrugged. The manager glared at Isidore furiously. She was even angry about the fact that Isidore is pushing her to do what he want just to prove herself and to completely humiliate him. Why the hell should she comply in this situation? She just want this deadbeat loser to be humiliated and get out of her sight! Yet this nuts is really pushing her to her limits! The manager looked at the security before saying.
