Chapter 694 Conan's Life Hangs in the Balance, Ran's Suspicions About Conan's Identity

Ono Takeshi was not lying, nor was he trying to fool or appease Cameron.

In fact, he invested far more than $10 billion in IMAX.

But it was all worth it. This company was related to his future plans, so Takeshi Ono didn't feel any heartache.

It is precisely because of his unwavering support that IMAX has now completely shaken off its previous predicament and entered a period of rapid development.

It developed much more smoothly than in its previous life, and the speed and scale of its development also surpassed that of its previous life.

Based on this trend, Takeshi Ono estimates that the 3D era may arrive even earlier than in his previous life.

Of course, this excludes the influence of the mysterious timeline in the Conan world.

Perhaps one day we'll wake up to find that the technology has made a breakthrough.

But no matter what, the money that needs to be invested still needs to be invested.

This is also because IMAX is no longer what it used to be, and Cameron's limited resources only allowed him to acquire a 3% stake.

However, for Cameron, the amount of shares is secondary; it means he has already obtained the ticket to a period of change!

This is the most important.

Ono Takeshi wasn't at a disadvantage either; having shares meant he had to put in the effort. These shares were like a carrot dangling in front of Cameron, incentivizing him to work harder.

Therefore, Ono Takeshi naturally delegated some tasks to Cameron.

+1 for cattle and horses!

Jiejiejie~

……

The IMAX technology project is not expected to yield results anytime soon, and with Cameron as a capable and reliable figure, Ono Takeshi felt comfortable setting it aside for the time being.

After the celebration banquet, Ono Takeshi inspected the situation of several companies.

He was very satisfied with the result.

Both Ghost Pictures' US branch and Paramount are doing very well.

Several of his films were box office hits.

Although it can't compare to "The Terminator," it still made good money.

Compared to 20th Century Fox, which is now mired in financial crisis and at risk of bankruptcy at any time, it is a world of difference.

Of course, the former is entirely reaping what he sowed.

They don't have the same kind of cheat code as Takeshi Ono, who can casually pull out classic movies that guarantee profits.

Under Takeshi Ono's "superpower," both companies have now become leaders in the industry.

Ghost Pictures' US division has completely surpassed second-tier film companies like Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate, joining the ranks of first-tier companies and standing shoulder to shoulder with the Big Eight!

The development momentum is extremely rapid!

Paramount is among the top eight in the industry!
It will never recover from its previous decline!

Ono Takeshi's status naturally rose accordingly.

Such a situation has undoubtedly drawn envy from many of their peers.

Unfortunately, 20th Century Fox had just entered the fray and, with its own failure, once again proved that Takeshi Ono was invincible.

So no matter how unwilling they were, they could only watch helplessly as Onitake grew stronger and stronger.

……

Originally, Ono Takeshi wanted to stay in America for a few more days, but a message that suddenly came from Japan forced him to change his plans and rush back as soon as possible.

……

"How's Conan? Is he dead?"

As soon as the plane landed, Ono Takeshi called Ai Haibara.

The little girl's signature indifferent tone came through the receiver: "Unfortunately, he is still alive."

"Are you out of danger?"

"Ah."

Although Ai Haibara's tone remained as cold as ever, Takeshi Onino detected a sense of relief in it.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although I knew that Conan was probably not going to die, I still couldn't help but feel nervous and worried when I suddenly heard the news that he was seriously injured and on the verge of death and had been sent to the ICU for emergency treatment.

After spending so much time together, the other person is no longer a two-dimensional character from the animation of their previous life, but a living, breathing person with flesh and blood.

Although he usually teases Conan, Onino Takeshi actually considers him a friend.

After all, humans are not plants or trees.

That's why, upon hearing that Conan's life was in danger, he chose to drop what he was doing and rush back immediately.

Fortunately, the other party is out of danger.

The events were actually quite simple; it was nothing more than the Grim Reaper's aura activating once again. Only this time, even Death himself wasn't spared.

Just yesterday, as usual, Professor Agasa took the Junior Detective League camping.

As is customary, whenever they go camping, a case is bound to occur.

This time is no exception.

The three restless kids accidentally discovered a cave and insisted on going inside to explore, despite Conan's objections.

Conan had no choice but to go inside with them.

Unsurprisingly, they ran into a gang of robbers inside.

It turns out that this cave was where the bandits hid their stolen goods.

And so the conflict naturally broke out.

In order to cover for the Junior Detective League, Conan was unfortunately shot and lost a lot of blood.

After finally managing to defeat several robbers with his wisdom and protagonist's aura, Conan could no longer hold on and fainted.

The anxious Professor Agasa and the three children rushed him to the hospital.

Another unexpected event occurred: the hospital's blood bank ran out of blood.

Fortunately, Ran, who arrived at the scene, has the same blood type as Conan and donated blood in time, which saved Conan's life.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Ono Takeshi went to the ward and saw that it was crowded with people.

Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, the three little ones, Professor Agasa, Ai Haibara and her sister... not one is missing.

Of course, Inspector Megure and his team were also present.

A hint of worry lingered on everyone's face.

Ran Mouri, in particular, stared intently at Conan lying on the bed, her gaze complex and indescribable.

Everyone looked surprised when they saw Oni Takeshi.

Oni Takeshi waved his hand: "I just got back. What exactly happened?"

Kogoro Mouri immediately recounted what had happened.

Inspector Megure added, "Thanks to Conan and the others, the entire gang of robbers has been apprehended, but..."

He looked at Conan, his tone one of relief.

Fortunately, Conan is out of danger.

Following his words, Oni no Takeshi shifted his gaze to Conan.

Thanks to timely rescue and Ran Mouri's blood transfusion, Conan was fortunate to be out of danger. However, the effects of the anesthesia had not yet worn off, and Conan was still unconscious.

Ono Takeshi glanced at the kid. Hmm, his breathing was steady and his heartbeat was strong. He was indeed alright.

Sure enough, it wasn't that easy to kill this guy.

Suddenly, Oni Takeshi's eyes flashed as he noticed the unusual expression on Mouri Ran's face.

The others, unaware that Conan, as the protagonist, possessed incredible resilience, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him escape unharmed.

Inspector Megure and the rest of the First Investigation Division left first. Since guns had been drawn, this was no longer a simple case. The Metropolitan Police Department was taking it very seriously, and there would be many troublesome things to come.

"Let's go too, let Conan get some rest."

Oni Takeshi said to Professor Agasa and the others.

"Ah, that's right, that's right."

Professor Agasa nodded. "Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, let me take you home. Your parents must be worried about you this late."

"But Conan..."

Ayumi's face was full of worry and reluctance, her gaze fixed on Conan.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of him."

Ran Mouri immediately comforted her.

"Alright then, I'll leave Conan in Ran's care."

Ayumi bit her lip. Although she was reluctant, she knew that there was no point in her staying.

Professor Agasa then took the three little ones home.

Although the three's parents were unusually carefree, it was indeed too late.

Moreover, after the day's adventures, the three little ones need a good rest.

Oni no Takenori was responsible for taking the Haibara sisters back.

In the car.

Ai Haibara glanced at the hospital behind her, then suddenly turned around and said something to Takeshi Onino that greatly surprised him:
"Ran... seems to have guessed Conan's identity!"
