Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 752 Shuichi Akai is dead, another pillar industry of the Onino Group

"(⊙o⊙) Huh? Shuichi Akai is dead?"

Just as Takeshi Onino was basking in the joy of the soaring box office success of "Kill Onino," he suddenly received some terrible news from Ai Haibara.

Oni Takeshi turned his head to look at Okiya Subaru, who was clinging to Enma Ai on the sofa like a "lolicon," and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Noticing his gaze, Subaru Okiya turned his head and met his eyes, then shrugged indifferently.

Shuichi Akai is dead, what does that have to do with Subaru Okiya?

Oni Takeshi's lips twitched.

Unexpectedly, while he wasn't paying attention, the organization had already clashed with the FBI and a certain Grim Reaper, and had even successfully "resolved" the major threat, the "Silver Bullet."

Just like in the original story, in order to prove her "devotion to the dark side", in the confrontation with the FBI, Rena Mizunashi had no choice but to premeditatedly "kill" Shuichi Akai.

And she did succeed.

Shuichi Akai and his car plunged off a cliff and perished in the flames, leaving no trace of his body!

With this solid pledge of loyalty, Rena Mizunashi once again gained the trust of Gin and the organization.

Moreover, with Vermouth's intentional or unintentional "helping hand," she even gained access to some of the organization's core information.

However, Gin didn't expect that he had been tricked.

In reality, there's a "behind-the-scenes hand" manipulating things behind the scenes.

It was all just a show put on for him and the organization.

Shuichi Akai was not dead. Instead, he used the opportunity to go from the light to the dark, faked his death to escape, and continued to use the identity of 'Subaru Okiya' to cover his tracks and thus get away from the organization's sight.

Conan, just like in the original storyline, gets involved, joining forces with the FBI to deal with the organization. He also takes the opportunity to learn about Rena Mizunashi's undercover identity and even gets in touch with the CIA.

With the FBI on his left and the CIA on his right, and the occasional call for reinforcements from the Public Security Bureau, Conan now possesses the resources to confront any organization.

Conan was unaware that Rena Mizunashi had been forced to become an "ally" with Rumi Wakasa.

The game between red and black was more complex than he had imagined.

Without Ono Takeshi's intervention, the original plot unfolded as usual.

After understanding the whole story, Ono Takeshi suppressed his shock; he had no interest in getting involved.

Since Shuichi Akai wanted to "change his appearance," Takeshi Onino pretended not to know anything about it.

Pretending not to recognize Subaru Okiya, Takeshi Onino greeted him and then dragged Ai Haibara, who was somewhat disappointed that Shuichi Akai hadn't really died, to the laboratory.

With the unwavering support of Takeshi Onino, the big spender, and Conan, the sucker, Ai Haibara's laboratory is no longer as rudimentary as it was in the original story.

Dr. Agasa directly expanded her underground laboratory to over 100 square meters, with advanced equipment and instruments that were no less sophisticated than those in professional laboratories.

Under these conditions, Ai Haibara's research made considerable breakthroughs.

Firstly, regarding the research on drug A, thanks to the selfless dedication of a certain lab rat, Ai Haibara has already made some progress in finding an antidote.

The onset time is also getting longer and longer, at least enough to satisfy Conan's "transformation", provided that drug resistance is disregarded.

However, this was not the reason why Ai Haibara invited Takeshi Onino over, as the latter was not particularly interested in the A drug itself.

As long as the timeline of this world remains chaotic and stagnant, the so-called 'immortality' is something that is readily available.

What Ono Takeshi cares about are its derivatives.

"This is it."

Ai Haibara handed over a test tube containing a small amount of pale blue liquid.

Through the tireless efforts of this brilliant biologist, a targeted drug that can inhibit cancer cells was finally developed.

Oni Takeshi took the test tube, looked at the unremarkable liquid inside, and his heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

Calling this thing "liquid gold" wouldn't be an exaggeration; it's even more precious and valuable.

The potential profits from a highly effective cancer drug are unimaginable. "Don't get too excited yet."

Ai Haibara, however, poured cold water on the idea.

"This drug cannot completely cure cancer; it only inhibits the spread of cancer cells, and it only works in the early and middle stages, with a success rate of only 78%."

He paused for a moment, then smiled.

"However, its inhibitory effect is excellent, which can significantly delay the onset of the disease. Long-term use can likely allow patients to survive for more than five years."

Upon hearing this, Oni Takeshi showed no disappointment; instead, he broke into an excited smile.
"That's enough!"

Although it only has a suppressive effect and the success rate is not 100%, it was already enough to surprise and satisfy Ono Takeshi.

Ai Haibara certainly didn't disappoint him.

In fact, if she were to develop a specific drug for cancer treatment, given the current size and strength of the Oni-no Group, it might not be able to withstand the risks involved.

Even with the current achievements, it is destined to infringe upon the interests of those large international pharmaceutical groups and their backers.

Once this drug is launched, it will inevitably face a massive boycott and backlash.

But after receiving a call from Ai Haibara, Takeshi Onino still came without hesitation.

Compared to the enormous profits this drug could bring, taking a risk is entirely worthwhile, since it's just an inhibitor and won't drive those pharmaceutical interest groups crazy.

If that's all there is to it, with the strength of the Onino Group and the network of interests behind it, it wouldn't be difficult to withstand the pressure.

If this drug can be successfully launched, it will surely become another pillar industry for the Onino Group after the Phantom Mobile Phone!

It will also become a key for the Onino Group to become a first-class conglomerate!

"Well done, Ai!"

Ono Takeshi smiled broadly and praised him generously.

Ai Haibara also understood the benefits and risks behind the drug she had developed, but seeing Takeshi Onino's confident appearance, she swallowed her worries.

In her mind, the man before her was almost omnipotent, and the mere risks were nothing to him.

……

Upon returning, Ono Takeshi immediately assembled a team and quickly established a pharmaceutical company.

The original Houmoto Group was involved in the pharmaceutical industry and owned two pharmaceutical factories. After Takeshi Ono took over, it naturally became part of the Ono Group.

Therefore, Takeshi Ono merged the two pharmaceutical factories into the newly established "Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd." to ensure the inhibitor's market launch as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Onino Takeshi contacted allies such as the Suzuki Foundation, the Ooka Foundation, Old Dong, and His Highness, and successfully formed an "alliance of offense and defense" through a series of exchanges of interests.

Just like with the previous "Phantom Phone," they will share the benefits of the inhibitors, but of course, they must also share the risks.

Ono Takeshi was not worried about this.

Those international pharmaceutical groups are powerful, but they are not to be trifled with either.

Without a life-or-death conflict of interest, the other party would certainly not want to escalate the situation.

After a series of steps, everything was ready.

There are no longer any obstacles to the market launch of inhibitors.

However, this matter cannot be accomplished overnight and requires long-term planning.

The establishment, integration, and production of pharmaceutical companies all take time, not to mention the inevitable need to sit down at the negotiating table with international pharmaceutical groups, which is a protracted process.

Therefore, in the time that followed, Ono Takeshi simply focused on the progress of the matter and let everything proceed in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, the process went more smoothly than expected.

But before Onino Takeshi could even relax, a series of unexpected events followed...
