THE STRANGER
“What can a piece of trash like you think of? Could it be that you can get $10 million to save my sister's company”. “ He couldn't get 10 million even if he sold himself for medical experiments. Look at him. There's more value in Christopher's little finger than this piece of trash and marrying him brought on enough bad luck for 8 lifetimes”. " Raymond didn't seem to hear their mockery. He saw his wife, Stephanie's flustered look and felt very sad and distressed Stephanie, “It's just 10 million. I can think of a way to earn that much. I know I can't immediately but things will get better”. Raymond said. And grabs Stephanie's hand Stephanie suddenly pulls her hand back and said agitatedly. “Don't bother me. Can I have some quiet time, please”. Jessica stood up from the dining table, pointed at Raymond and scolded. “Stop being disgusting here. $10 million. How can you get it just like that? What do you think you are other than making trouble for our family? Trash. What else can you do? I really don't understand the meaning of a person like you even being alive. If I were you, I would have taken a long dive off a tall building a long time ago”. “Enough!. Stop talking”, Donald slammed his fist on the table again and said “Raymond has good intentions. Isn't he comforting your sister?” Jessica sneered. “Comfort, What use is comfort? Stephanie needs money if she's going to save the company” just as the family was wondering what to do next. The doorbell suddenly rang. Rebecca angrily looked at the door and then scolded Raymond. “What are you standing there for? Go and answer the door”. Raymond. stood up and walked to the door and opened it. There was a woman in her 20s standing outside the door. She was dressed in casual clothes and had a long ponytail. She looked very fresh and pretty behind her were two men in black. Raymond was stunned. “Who are you looking for?” The woman smiled. “Is this Mr Hernandez's residence?” Raymond was stunned again. “Mr Hernandez, why do these words sound so awkward?” Because no one had ever called him Mr Hernandez, Raymond frowned. “You are looking for me, but I don't know how you” Raymond felt depressed. He'd never seen this woman before. Although this woman dressed casually, her demeanor was not something ordinary people generally had. “My name is Isabella. Although you don't know me, I know you. Can I come in and talk to you?” The woman looked inside, when Rebecca heard Raymond talking to someone outside the door. Rebecca impatiently shouted. “Who is it?” Raymond stepped back and let the woman into the room As for the two men in black, they stayed outside the door. “Sorry to bother you. I'm here to talk with Mr Hernandez”. The woman said, the people of the Midwire family were stunned. Jessica said. “What did you say, Mr Hernandez? Holy cow. You actually called him Mr. Why does it sound so funny?” Rebecca said. Who are you? We don't know you. Why are you looking for that piece of trash?” Isabella. frowned at the way they were talking about Raymond with him standing right there. What weird relationship did this family have with the man? as the head of the family and a kind old man. Donald politely stood up and said to Isabella, “a guest is a guest, too. Miss, please have a seat and say what you need to Raymond. She smiled politely. “Thank you. No need. I'm here to issue an invitation to Mister Hernandez. After saying that, she turned her eyes to Raymond, who was standing to one side. You are Mr Hernandez, right? Can you come with me, please?” Raymond said “I don't really know you. Are you sure you have the right person?” Isabella nodded. “I do. I've seen your photo. It can't be wrong. Mr Hernandez, I sincerely invite you to come with me. Is that?” “OK”, Raymond shook his head. “No, not until I know where you want me to go” “to my house”. Isabella replied, Jessica asked “you want this piece of trash to go to your house?”Raymond was stunned. The others were also stunned. No one had a clue of what this woman was trying to do. Rebecca, however, jumped to her feet. She shouted out as if she had just discovered Raymond's dirty little secret. “Trash, what is your relationship with this woman? She's. brazenly asked you to go to her house with her. Why would she want you to do that? The two of you don't tell me the two of you have that kind of relationship. Raymond, you haven't been cheating on my daughter, have you?” Hearing these words, a trace of anger flashed across Isabella's face. Anywhere else, if someone dared to be so disrespectful to her, miss green, she would have already gotten someone to throw this middle aged woman out as. much as she'd love to do it, she couldn't do it now. She needed Raymond to do something for her. Besides, this wasn't her house, so she didn't have the authority. Isabella was a steady and calm person who did things without showing her emotions. So even though her unhappiness flashed across her face, she continued to maintain a smile and said, “don't. misunderstand me. I'd like Mr Hernandez to come to my house to treat my grandfather”. Hearing her words, the people of the Rodriguez family were even more dumbfounded. “What about treating illnesses? What do you mean? They chorused” “About that, my grandfather has an illness that is exactly the same as Mr Rodriguez's illness”. Isabella said and looked at Donald before she arrived. She had investigated this family thoroughly. Isabella continued. “ I didn't believe it at first, but now I see that Mr Rodriguez has been completely cured by Mr Hernandez. I can see that Mr Hernandez is like a living God with incredible skills. So I would like to ask Mr Hernandez to come with me”.Latest Chapter
CHAPTER 30
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
CHAPTER 28
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
CHAPTER 27
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
CHAPTER 26
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
CHAPTER 25
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
