Chapitre 90: Chapter 89: The Costly Dinner Date with an Heiress
Ever since Su Jinyan agreed to be Infinite Overlord's girlfriend, the Infinite Guild members had finally settled down and stopped their relentless hunting of the three guilds' players.
Members of Supreme, War God, and Misty Rain Guild could finally resume their quests, dragon hunts, and leveling up without constantly looking over their shoulders.
Infinite Overlord seemed to understand that Su Jinyan wasn't fond of him constantly hanging around her, so he refrained from disturbing her during the day.
It wasn't until five in the evening that he sent her a Feixin-Message: "Xiao Jing'er, would you honor me with your company for dinner tonight?"
"Relax, it's just a meal and a casual offline meet-up, nothing more."
The news of Su Jinyan agreeing to be Wu Haotian's girlfriend had already spread across the city. Just asking her out for a meal seemed like a reasonable request she couldn't refuse.
She thought to herself, 'Maybe I can use this chance to make him lose interest in me. Then he won't pester me anymore.'
So, Su Jinyan reluctantly replied, "Alright."
"Really? Great. Tonight at seven, Ocean Restaurant by Linhai City's coast. See you there."
To make a less-than-favorable impression, Su Jinyan intentionally waited until 7:30 to log out. She didn't put on any makeup, kept her face bare, and chose a low-quality, street stall outfit paired with oversized, non-prescription black-rimmed glasses.
Her sister Su Jinya, who knew about her dinner with the Infinite Guild's vice-president, arranged ten strong bodyguards to accompany her.
8 p.m., Ocean Restaurant, a high-end spot overlooking the coast of Linhai City.
A sharp-looking young man in a crisp suit was sitting by a window, seemingly waiting for someone. His good looks attracted glances from several women dining nearby.
"Look over there—isn't that guy just gorgeous?"
"He's way better looking than my boyfriend."
Moments later, Su Jinyan entered the restaurant, flanked by ten bodyguards dressed in black and wearing sunglasses.
Finding Wu Haotian, she took a seat across from him.
Wu Haotian looked at the group of bodyguards standing behind her and gulped. "Isn't this a bit much… for dinner?"
Su Jinyan smiled professionally. "Surely you don't mind?"
"Ha-ha… Of course not."
Wu Haotian took a closer look at Su Jinyan and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect you to be even prettier offline."
'Seriously? And I look like this?'
Su Jinyan was speechless. "What exactly do you like about me? I'll change it, alright?"
"What I love is the way you don't like me. Want to try changing that?" [T/N: Oh, so a masochist.]
Su Jinyan: "🤢"
"I'm starving. Let's order."
Su Jinyan picked up the menu and deliberately chose the most expensive dishes.
The total was already estimated well into the five-figure range.
Trying to give off a high-maintenance impression, Su Jinyan smiled and said, "This is just my usual meal. And when I'm not eating, I love splurging on LV bags, makeup, and clothes. You wouldn't mind that, right?"
"Ha-ha… of course not. I've got money; I can take care of you."
Despite his bravado, Wu Haotian's fingers were practically digging into the underside of the table…
As the vice-president of Infinite Guild, his 100,000 yuan monthly salary was decent, but it was still far from enough to support an heiress who casually spent five figures on a meal.
For the sake of pride, he endured.
After ordering a table full of food, Su Jinyan barely touched anything before saying she was full. Then, with her bodyguards surrounding her, she left Ocean Restaurant.
Wu Haotian stared at the untouched dishes, feeling his heart bleed.
But he resolved himself even more, thinking, 'Don't worry, Xiao Jing'er. I won't give up on you. I'll pass every test you throw at me until I win your heart.' [T/N: And a simp.]
Just then, the waiter handed him the bill. "Here's your total, sir. Including food and drinks, it comes to 38,000. Will that be cash or card?"
"Pfft…" Wu Haotian spat out the tea he'd just sipped.
"Um… we barely touched the food. Could I get a discount?"
The waiter gave a professional smile. "Security?"
"Kidding. Just kidding… ha-ha…"
After paying the bill, not wanting to waste the food, Wu Haotian called a few guild buddies to come over and enjoy the 38,000-yuan dinner.
Meanwhile, across the restaurant, two middle-aged men had been covertly watching Wu Haotian the entire time.
One of them took a photo of Wu Haotian and sent it to a contact saved as Infinite Phantom, with a message: "Guild Leader, I saw Vice-President Tian wasting 38,000 on a dinner date to impress some girl, completely neglecting guild business…"
———
[Zhejiang Province Headquarters, Tianlang City]
[Infinite Guild Headquarters]
When the guild leader, Infinite Phantom, saw the message from his subordinate, his rage ignited instantly.
"That fool Wu Haotian. If I'd known he was this unreliable, I'd never have sent him to Linhai City."
One guild member suggested, "Guild Leader, Vice-President Tian seems completely distracted by the Su family's younger daughter. He's neglected his mission to suppress the three guilds. If we let them continue to develop, it'll only increase our challenges in the Championships."
Infinite Phantom replied sternly, "Looks like we need to send someone else to whip this team into shape."

The following evening, while Su Jinyan was hunting dragons and completing quests in Destruction City, she received another Feixin-Message from Wu Haotian.
"Xiao Jing'er, got time tonight? How about a movie?"
"Movies take too long," she replied. "Let's just eat."
At that moment, while leading a group hunt in the Level 35 Wilds near the Hall of Light, Wu Haotian's eyes lit up. "Or… we could take a walk by the beach? I hear your city has a great ocean view."
"Let's stick to eating. I'm hungry."
Wu Haotian checked his wallet, steeled himself, and gritted his teeth. "Alright, same time, seven o'clock."
'Just hang in there. Only half a month till payday,' he told himself.
"Alright, team, let's wrap it up and go eat," he announced.
As Wu Haotian and his squad prepared to leave the Land of the Forgotten, three figures suddenly appeared at the edge of the zone.
Seeing the person in the lead, Wu Haotian was surprised. "Sword Saint? What're you doing here?"
At the front, a man clad in golden armor—the Level 30 second-tier rare-grade Holy Sword Warrior, [Infinite Sword Saint]—fixed a cold gaze on Wu Haotian. "Came to check up on you."
Before Wu Haotian could react, Infinite Sword Saint drew his sword and charged forward, cutting him down in one swift strike.
As Wu Haotian lay on the ground, stunned, Infinite Sword Saint turned to the other Infinite Guild members and announced coldly, "By order of Guild Leader Phantom, I'm taking over all guild operations in Linhai City effective immediately."
