Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 546 Karasuma Renya Appears! Oni Takeshi: Seeking Peace? Then I'll have to set my conditions!
"Should I call you Oni ​​Takeshi, or Old Baijiu?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was neither male nor female; it was clearly a synthesized electronic voice. The words it uttered were even more astonishing, directly exposing Oni Takeshi's disguise.

Even with Oni Takeshi's composure, he couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

A variety of guesses flashed through my mind in an instant, and then I ruled them out one by one.

Ultimately, it all came down to a name...

"Karasuma Ren?"

"So you really knew me. It seems I underestimated you..."

The electronic voice on the microphone paused slightly, and it was clear that Ono Takeshi's words had also shocked the other party.

It's really him!

As his guess became reality, Ono Takeshi's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm his racing heart.

He never expected that the person calling would be Karasuma Renya!
This most mysterious mastermind in the Conan world would suddenly appear without warning under such circumstances.

Moreover, he revealed his hidden identity in a single sentence.

After the initial shock, Ono Takeshi felt a chill run down his spine, his mind racing as he tried to guess the other party's purpose.

He had just destroyed the brewery's submarine and hadn't even had a sip of water when the brewery owner called. He would never believe there was no connection between them.

But the question is, how did the other party know his or her identity?
Oni no Takeshi was confident that he hadn't revealed any flaws.

Although Karasuma Renya on the other end of the phone was also shocked by Onino Takeshi's revelation of his identity, he quickly regained his composure, at least not from his tone.

He didn't explain why he knew Oni Takeshi's identity, nor did he ask why Oni Takeshi knew him. He continued in a somewhat enigmatic tone:

"I have long admired your name, Oni-san, and have always regretted that we have never met. I never expected that you had already dealt with my organization."

Karasuma Renya's tone was inscrutable, sounding like he was accusing someone, but his words were not harsh.

For a moment, Ono Takeshi was unsure of his purpose, so he could only calmly go along with it and say, "I have also long admired Mr. Karasuma, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to visit him in Tottori Prefecture."

He did not deny his identity as a baijiu enthusiast. Since the other party had already chosen to call and confront him directly, denying it would be an insult to his intelligence.

However, his words were also quite clever, directly pointing out the fact that Karasuma Renya was in Tottori Prefecture.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other end fell silent for a moment again.

Clearly, Onino Takeshi's words once again surprised Karasuma Renya.

The other party not only knew of his existence and his connection with the brewery, but also knew that he was in Tottori Prefecture!
The latter, in particular, shocked Karasuma Renya.

This is a top secret that no one knows!

How did Onitake know that?!
This unscientific!

He originally intended to reveal Oni Takeshi's identity directly to gain the upper hand, but unexpectedly, he was almost fooled one after another.

At this moment, Karasuma Renya, who was in a dark room, had a look of surprise and confusion in his old and cloudy eyes.

How does Ono Takeshi know so much?
Of course, it's because I'm a time traveler.

Oni no Takeshi thought to himself.

Thanks to 73, just as he said, Karasuma Renya really is in Tottori Prefecture!

Originally, Onino Takeshi was just testing the waters and wasn't sure, but the result actually fooled Karasuma Renya.

It took a full three seconds before Karasuma Renya spoke again, revealing his shock.

"It seems that Onino-san knows more than I thought."

Karasuma Renya's voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it subtly conveyed a sense of oppressive pressure.

Oni Takeshi didn't respond. Karasuma Renya's words didn't put him under much pressure, even though the other party was the mysterious boss of the brewery.

At this moment, Ono Takeshi had completely calmed down.

The surprise at the sudden appearance of Karasuma Renya, the mastermind behind it all, was suppressed deep in his heart.

So what about Karasuma Renya?

I am not afraid of the other party!
If it were earlier, he would indeed have been wary of this big boss, but he was no longer the same person he used to be.

Now that he has grown powerful, he is not afraid of Karasuma Renya in terms of wealth and influence!
On the surface, the Karasuma Group is already defunct. It may have great hidden strength, but how much of that strength can it openly display without any scruples?
Admittedly, no one knows exactly how powerful the trump cards Karasuma Renya has accumulated over the past century, but precisely because of this, he is somewhat constrained and can only sit at the table under certain rules.

After all, how strong can it be compared to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council?
If you don't have the power to overturn the table, then you have to obediently play by the rules they set.

While Ono Takeshi's strength may indeed be inferior to Karasuma Renya's, he has now earned the right to be on the table.

It won't be easy for Karasuma Renya to control him.

Moreover, Onino Taketaka's strength is something the other side has to consider and be wary of.

Perhaps that's why Karasuma Renya called.

Communication means there is room for negotiation.

Upon realizing this, Ono Takeshi immediately felt relieved.

Indeed, things turned out exactly as Onino Takeshi had predicted.

After the two of them beat around the bush for a while, Karasuma Renya couldn't help but state his purpose directly:
"Kino-san, I can overlook the things that happened with Gin before and the submarine incident this time, but I need a guarantee that from now on, we will leave each other alone."

Karasuma Renya's words once again surprised Ono Takeshi.

He had anticipated that the other party would threaten him or even break off relations, and he was mentally prepared for a head-on confrontation, but he never expected that the other party would come to make peace.

After the initial shock, a deep sense of doubt arose in my mind.

Given Karasuma Renya's strength, if he were to actually attack him, while he wouldn't be completely helpless, he could certainly inflict serious damage.

Why be so "humble" when you've clearly suffered a loss?
Oni no Takeshi couldn't help but frown.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
The only explanation is that his strength made Karasuma Renya feel threatened, so he hesitated to act rashly.

But then Ono Takeshi thought about it again and felt that he couldn't justify his own explanation.

Perhaps... Karasuma Renya has a more important purpose, and conflict with him may cause some unforeseen and unnecessary losses.

After weighing the options, he made this choice.

But what could possibly make Karasuma Renya "swallow his anger" even when his submarine was bombed and his brewery suffered heavy losses?
Four words almost immediately popped into Onitake's mind—

"Immortality!"
Oni Takeshi subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

The only thing that could make Karasuma Renya give up the pursuit and "forgive past grievances" was this thing he had been pursuing and dreaming of for a hundred years!
He didn't know if his guess was right, and he couldn't very well confront Karasuma Renya.

While pondering this, I couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Karasuma Renya was unaware that he had already achieved "immortality".

This has a touch of dark humor to it.

Ono Takeshi's mind raced with various thoughts. He was unsure of the other party's purpose, but he sensed something from Karasuma Renya's attitude.

Whether out of fear of him or with a deeper and more important purpose, since Karasuma Renya "took the initiative to seek peace," then—

Oni no Takeshi's eyes darted around, and he said:
"Sure, but I have one condition!"

After he finished speaking, the phone fell silent again.
