21st Century Necromancer

Chen Yu didn't stay long on the USS Iwo Jima, after all, the warship now has a big hole and is heading to meet an aircraft carrier battle group of the Fifth Fleet to return home as ordered by the U.S. Military Side.

Without any intention of visiting the United States, Chen Yu naturally took a helicopter back to Star Sea Island.

"Ah-Yu, what's been going on with you the past couple of days? Why do helicopters keep coming to find you?" Chen Yu's father felt a bit strange about helicopters frequently visiting Chen Yu.

"It's nothing, Dad. There was just a small medical issue with the U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf, so they asked me to help out." Chen Yu didn't tell the truth and used a pre-prepared excuse instead.

This excuse had already been coordinated with Major General Claire, who would ensure the Fifth Fleet's cooperation in extending an official invitation, so Chen Yu wasn't exactly lying.

Chen Yu's father didn't seem to have a good impression of Americans, furrowing his brow, he said, "Don't get too close to Americans, they're not good people."

"I know, Dad." Chen Yu nodded, agreeing very much with his father's view: "I also don't want to get too close to them. This time they found me through the U.S. Forces in Japan, so I went to help them."

After listening to Chen Yu's explanation, Chen Yu's father didn't say much, but Chen Yu's mother felt a bit worried for her son, and couldn't help but say to Chen Yu, "Ah-Yu, if it really doesn't work out, just come back home! Conditions in China are also quite good now, and if you and Hiromi come back, you won't have trouble finding jobs. We, as the old generation, can help take care of the children."

"Mom, don't worry! Now they're asking me for help, there's no problem." Chen Yu had trouble explaining to his mother but still reassured her: "And I'm not planning to stay in Japan for much longer. Once the laboratory on this island is built, Hiromi and I will settle here permanently."

Chen Yu had not previously told his parents that the island was already his property, and the laboratory on the island also belonged to him. He and Jounouchi Hiromi were going to live on this island.

Upon learning this news, Chen Yu's parents were extremely surprised.

"What about your job in Japan?" Although she thought Chen Yu could return to China if necessary, his mother was still very concerned about his job.

Regarding this question, Chen Yu calmly explained: "There's no problem job-wise, I'm not planning to move here immediately. I'll have a transition with the hospital over the next half year or so, gradually handing over my work. But more likely, I'll keep my position and commute between Japan and here."

"Commuting between both? Isn't that exhausting?" Chen Yu's mother suddenly felt a bit distressed for her son, utterly forgetting that this was the vacation spot Maldives.

To this, Chen Yu didn't explain much, he merely told his mother, "Mom, transportation is so advanced now, just take a flight! It's no trouble at all."

"But..." Chen Yu's mother wanted to say more, but his father interrupted her.

Chen Yu's father glanced at his son. Although he was also concerned about his son, he only said, "It's good you have your own thoughts. If you can't manage everything, we can help take care of the children."

"I know Dad, rest assured, there's no problem." Chen Yu nodded, certainly agreeing.

Seeming to feel the atmosphere was a bit stagnant, Chen Yu smiled at his mother and said, "Mom, didn't I tell you as a kid that if I got rich, I'd buy you a big villa to live in? Now that wish is fulfilled; this holiday villa will be mine, you can live here however you like!"

"This villa is yours? What's going on?" Chen Yu's parents were instantly shocked by this news from Chen Yu.

Though they knew their son was now quite accomplished and had made quite a bit of money, a beach holiday villa wasn't something they thought Chen Yu could afford.

However, Chen Yu merely smiled and explained, "I licensed my cancer drug patent to an American pharmaceutical enterprise for production, and this island was a gift from them. That's why Hiromi and I are considering moving to the island. Otherwise, how could we consider moving from Tokyo to here?"

"Your drug's patent? You sold it to Americans?" Chen Yu's father seemed a bit uncomfortable with this and questioned Chen Yu.

"Not sold, just licensed; I allow them to produce and sell it, limited to North America." Chen Yu understood his father's concern and explained, "I am also working with my former school to promote the drug domestically, which shouldn't be a problem, as long as the related procedures are completed."

Chen Yu's explanation still left his father frowning slightly, but he said nothing more, only nodded, "It's good that you know what you're doing."

After these exchanges, Chen Yu's mother seemed very pleased, looking at the holiday villa and asked her son, "Ah-Yu, this will be yours in the future?"

"Yes, it will be mine. Hiromi and I plan to move over once we finish handing over our work in Tokyo. The family will be here in the future." Chen Yu explained to his mother with a smile, with a hint of showing off in his words, "Hiromi and I will spend most of our time here, and when Yixi grows up, we'll send her back to Tokyo for school."

"Send Yixi to school in Tokyo? Don't you consider letting her return home?" Chen Yu's mother obviously preferred her granddaughter to stay around them, as that would be the happiest thing for grandparents to see her every day.

However, Chen Yu had his own considerations about this, and thus he explained to his mother, "We did think about sending Yixi back home, but relatively speaking, the educational conditions here in Japan are slightly better. After all, I plan to arrange for Yixi to go to a private aristocratic school, and the schools here in Japan all have decades of history, which are somewhat better than those at home."

"Aristocratic schools? Aren't there aristocratic schools at home?" Chen Yu's mother knew of this but still didn't quite understand the difference.

"Mom, Japanese aristocratic schools and Chinese aristocratic schools are different." Jounouchi Hiromi hurried over, handing the daughter in her arms to Chen Yu, then pulled Chen Yu's mother aside to explain, "Mom, let me tell you, many Japanese aristocratic schools offer everything from kindergarten to university; their educational services are very..."
