After Rudolf Symboli voiced her intention to drag Su Luo to Central, Su Luo's goodwill toward her took a sharp nosedive.
Why the hell are you trying to haul me to Central right away?!
That's not how it works in that gacha game!
You're supposed to chat with me more, raise my affection, occasionally help me lose money, have some special interaction on the special holiday, then bond with me during some mysterious inner "event," and after I agree to that bond we unlock a special CG together.
How are you just skipping straight to abducting people?!
That's not how the gacha game goes. I refuse to accept it!
"Um… should I be calling you Miss Rudolf… or Miss Luna?"
Su Luo's mouth twitched as he tried to pull his hand back from Rudolf Symboli's grip.
But it didn't budge at all!
Even with his enhanced strength, Su Luo still wasn't strong enough in front of a horsegirl…
"Mr. Su Luo, you can call me whatever you like~" Rudolf Symboli said with a smile. "Rudolf Symboli is fine, Luna is fine—whatever you prefer… so, what do you think of my proposal?"
As she spoke, Rudolf Symboli wore a bright, sunny smile—while both hands locked tightly around Su Luo's palm.
"F-for example?" Su Luo asked cautiously.
"If you're employed by Central Trezan, you get weekends off~"
So you mean I still have to work five days?!
"And Central will give you generous pay too, Mr. Su Luo."
"If it's you, I think a million a month is definitely possible~"
Only a million and you want me to work overtime?
"And if you go to Central, I can take extra good care of your business too~"
…This woman isn't trying to steal my body, is she?
After hearing those reasons, Su Luo made up his mind.
Hell no—Central? Even a dog wouldn't go!
Why would I go be a wage slave in Central when I can live my best life locally, be a hands-off owner, and lose money in peace?!
So—
"Miss Rudolf, I understand what you're saying, but…"
Seeing Su Luo about to respond, Rudolf Symboli's purple eyes lit up.
"But?"
"But I refuse!"
"Huh?"
Apparently she hadn't expected Su Luo to reject her. For a moment, Rudolf Symboli's mind went blank.
And in the instant she loosened up, Su Luo yanked his hand free from her "seal"!
"If it's just sending Oguri Cap to Central, then maybe I could still consider it…"
"But if you want me to go to Central and work, those terms are nowhere near enough, dear Miss Emperor~"
Hearing his teasing refusal, Rudolf Symboli froze for a beat—then her surprise was replaced by an even stronger interest.
Instead of backing off, she leaned in slightly, those violet eyes fixed on him as she pressed:
"Then, Mr. Su Luo—what conditions would it take for you to be willing to come to Central?"
Watching her serious-but-unwilling-to-give-up expression, Su Luo found it even more amusing.
He rubbed his chin, put on a show of thinking, then broke into a grin that was practically mischievous—before casually stating a condition that, to him, was obviously impossible:
"Well then… how about this, Your Excellency, Miss Emperor."
He deliberately dragged out his tone.
"If Oguri really goes to Central, and—and I mean and, okay—she somehow actually manages to win a GⅠ-class race in Central…"
He paused, enjoying the way Rudolf Symboli listened so intently, then continued slowly:
"When that happens, I might… be a little interested in considering a visit to Central Trezan. How's that for a condition?"
Su Luo felt the subtext couldn't be more obvious.
In his mind, Oguri Cap winning a GⅠ in Central was pure fantasy—the premise itself was basically a joking excuse to say no.
But after hearing his "joke" condition, Rudolf Symboli didn't look offended in the slightest. Instead, she nodded thoughtfully.
She lowered her gaze as if weighing the condition seriously.
A moment later, she looked up again—sharp, earnest light glittering in her purple eyes as she stared at Su Luo.
"How could it be…"
She murmured softly, her tone carrying a hint of confusion.
Mr. Su Luo… do you really have so little confidence in Oguri Cap's future?
No.
If Mr. Su Luo truly had no confidence in Oguri Cap, he wouldn't have invested in her from the start!
But if he does believe in Oguri Cap… then why would he propose this condition?
I get it!
Mr. Su Luo actually has a lot of confidence in Oguri Cap!
He's convinced she can win a GⅠ!
It's just that my offer was too tempting, and Mr. Su Luo—because of pride—doesn't want to agree outright!
So he set a condition like this instead.
Which means there's only one thing I need to do.
She took a soft breath, and her gaze toward Su Luo grew deeper.
"I understand… if this is your condition…"
The corners of Rudolf Symboli's lips curled into a smile—playful with challenge, yet utterly serious.
"Then when Oguri Cap really wins a GⅠ race… I'll be waiting for Mr. Su Luo to honor his promise and come to Central~"
No way she'll win~
Su Luo didn't know what kind of mindset the Emperor was operating on.
But he did know this:
A professional investor makes professional judgments!
If he said Oguri Cap couldn't win a GⅠ, then she couldn't!
Want me to go to Central and work overtime? Dream on!
Thinking that, Su Luo couldn't help the smile tugging at his lips.
And when Rudolf Symboli saw that utterly confident expression, she immediately felt even more certain that her earlier conclusion was correct.
Just as I thought—this really was Mr. Su Luo's plan!
