21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 446 Benefits (Happy New Year everyone, asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

Chen Yu returned to his office, sat at his desk, and looked at Keiko’s father’s medical report, preparing to organize it.

As someone who had awoken from a vegetative state after a year of coma, the medical history of Keiko’s father was of great significance for the treatment of patients in persistent vegetative states.

Although Chen Yu had used extraordinary materials like Dragon Blood in treating him, the cellular mutations and regenerations that could promote the recovery of consciousness were still topics worthy of research. If any results could be achieved, they would still be groundbreaking in the medical field.

Of course, these findings were based on the Healing Potion, so perhaps they could be categorized under the research achievements of Healing Potions?

As Chen Yu was pondering this, Shirai Reina suddenly spoke to him through the intercom on his desk, "Professor, Doctor Tashiro Nanaori is here looking for you, do you want to see her?"

"Is there something she needs?" Upon hearing Shirai Reina’s voice, Chen Yu thought for a moment and then asked her. He had just encountered Qingdai, which made Chen Yu somewhat wary of the people from the Tashiro Family at this time.

"Professor, I have a personal favor to ask of you. Please, I implore you to listen!" Tashiro Nanaori’s voice sounded very earnest and sincere, which made Chen Yu consider for a moment before deciding to hear her request.

After all, Qingdai mentioned that the Tashiro Family wanted to scheme against him, which made Chen Yu also take some interest.

A family with a long history surely has some depth. Even if it has declined, a sinking ship still has three pounds of nails. Moreover, the Tashiro Family could not be considered as having fallen yet.

"Let her in." Having made up his mind, Chen Yu had Shirai Reina let Tashiro Nanaori into his office.

Setting aside the medical report of Keiko’s father, Chen Yu leaned back in his chair, watching Tashiro Nanaori enter and close the door of the office.

"Professor!" Tashiro Nanaori looked at Chen Yu and immediately knelt down, her forehead touching the ground in a full prostration.

Seeing Tashiro Nanaori’s posture, Chen Yu couldn’t deny that while her attitude was significantly better than Qingdai’s, it only made him willing to hear what she wanted to say: "Just speak what you need to say, there’s no need for such a display."

"Please forgive me, Professor! All this time I’ve been lying. In truth, I was sent by the Tashiro Family to extract the formula for the Broad-Spectrum Anti-Cancer Drug and obtain the patents from you," Tashiro Nanaori began by revealing her true intentions: "It’s not just me; Doctor Qingdai shares the same mission. Her aim, however, is to seduce you, Professor, so that you would become an in-law of the Tashiro Family, thereby making your patents part of the Tashiro Family’s assets."

"Is that so? This is pretty much what I suspected," Chen Yu said, shaking his head nonchalantly. The motives of Tashiro Nanaori and Qingdai were almost transparent, and after such a long time of interaction, if Chen Yu couldn’t guess what they were after, he might as well gouge out his eyes and stomp on them.

Yet Chen Yu was still curious why Qingdai and Tashiro Nanaori came to confess to him one after the other. "Doctor Qingdai just sought me out, although I turned her down. But I suppose the matter she wanted to discuss with me would be similar to yours, right? Why do both of you want to discuss these things with me? Did you conspire to betray your family together?"

When Tashiro Nanaori heard that Qingdai had already looked for Chen Yu, her face showed a mixture of disappointment and melancholy. However, upon learning that Chen Yu did not entertain what Qingdai wanted to discuss, this made Tashiro Nanaori’s eyes brighten, and she quickly explained to Chen Yu: "It is because, last night, the family summoned Qingdai and me. They are growing impatient with our lack of progress, so they ordered us to put direct pressure on you, Professor, to make you succumb. However, under Qingdai’s mediation, the order was postponed. She probably wanted to discuss this with you too."

Tashiro Nanaori could have kept what Qingdai did yesterday a secret, but for some reason, she chose to come clean about everything in front of Chen Yu.

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow at Tashiro Nanaori’s words. While all of this was within his expectations, he still asked her, "You and Qingdai are cousins, but from the way you talk, it seems you don’t hold any affection for her?"

"Although nominally, she is my cousin, but in reality, she... should be from my grandfather’s generation. It’s only because of the family’s secret techniques... that she is also my cousin." It seemed like a matter of family disgrace not to be aired in public, so after a succinct explanation, Tashiro Nanaori refrained from further discussing the matter. Instead, she pleaded with Chen Yu, "Professor, I know you’re a Sub-Legendary Powerhouse and the hidden leader of the Mingyue Society. The Tashiro Family is nothing in your eyes! I beg, no, I implore you to help me, please destroy the Tashiro Family!"

"Destroy your own family? This request..." Upon hearing Tashiro Nanaori’s request, Chen Yu was surprised, and asked incredulously, "Why do you want to destroy your own family, and why should I help you with that?"

Chen Yu did not deny Tashiro Nanaori’s characterization of him because some things are easy to guess if one is determined enough.

Hearing what Chen Yu said and knowing he had not immediately rejected the idea, Tashiro Nanaori realized there was a ray of hope and eagerly said, "Because the current Tashiro Family is nothing but a decaying coffin! Maybe you don’t know, but even though my grandfather holds the title of family head, all affairs, big and small within the family, are still secretly controlled by my great-great-grandfather! Rather than his descendants, the Tashiro Family is more like pawns he manipulates. Even Qingdai, whom he purportedly dotes on the most on the surface, is nothing more than a more useful pawn to him."

"Useful? Her performance can hardly be called excellent," Chen Yu said, his lips curling up as he listened to Tashiro Nanaori’s description of Qingdai: "I understand why you want to take down your family, but what’s in it for me if I help you? What can the Mingyue Society gain from this?"

"This..." Tashiro Nanaori found herself in a difficult position, as Chen Yu’s question put her in a spot, not knowing what kind of benefits she could offer to move a Sub-Legendary Transcendent.

Just as Tashiro Nanaori was troubled, someone pushed open the door of Chen Yu’s office.

Both Chen Yu and Tashiro Nanaori looked up in surprise toward the entrance to see Jounouchi Hiromi walking in, with Qingdai standing behind her.

"As for the benefits, a Sub-Legendary who’s lived for two hundred years makes for quite an impressive material."
