[Seo Ju-Heon is getting married?]

[Let’s learn more about the lucky person who makes even his little sister jealous.]

The entire world was fervently talking about this unexpected wedding announcement. It wasn't that weird that the information had spread throughout the world.

‘Big news! This is breaking news!’

There were quite a lot of paparazzi around Ju-Heon at all times.

There were entertainment magazine reporters to political reporters pretty much stalking him. Reporters were following him 365 days a year to get information related to Ju-Heon.

Information about his businesses, artifacts, hobbies, even trivial things about Ju-Heon were used to change the flow of things in the world.

That was why Ju-Heon meeting with his twin sister was a great source of information for them.

So, how could these reporters not hear it?

"Seo Ju-Heon is thinking about getting married!”

This was extremely shocking.

The world turned into pandemonium as the news continued to spread.

"Fuck, Seo Ju-Heon is getting married?! Who is the girl?!”

“I'm certain of it. I sent him a photo of my daughter not too long ago. He must have liked what he saw.”

"What are you talking about?! It’s my granddaughter!”

The politicians and businessmen who had sent marriage proposals to Ju-Heon went crazy, hoping that it was their daughters or granddaughters who had been chosen.

“Contact the wedding planners immediately!”

“I'm sure he'll be looking for wedding gifts and setting up a registry! Get on it!”

“Hurry up and call the top designers!”

The people in the wedding industry and the top players of the fashion world started to make their lists.

Businesses always competed with each other to handle celebrity weddings. The businesses trying to win the right to plan Ju-Heon’s wedding got ready for a difficult battle.

‘I MUST be the one to plan Seo Ju-Heon's wedding.’

Ju-Heon, as the Majesty, was the most famous man in the world right now.

Ju-Heon might not have realized it, but important people from all over the world were trying their best to be on good terms with Ju-Heon and be his friend.

That was why none of them would be willing to miss this opportunity.

‘Our stock will go up just from the fact that we are responsible for his wedding.’

The snobby luxurious brands pretended as if it was below them, but...

"H, he should be using our brand for the dress and suit, right?”

“I, I think so?”

Even they felt as if their asses were on fire.

“I, I can't stand this! Contact the Grave Company to discuss a partnership and appeal to them!”

“Y, yes sir!”

Wedding planners, jewelers, fashion icons, photographers, travel agencies, any and all possible businesses related to weddings were trying their best.

As for the man in question...

"What are you going to do? The whole world seems to be in an extremely festive mood.”

“.........”

Ju-Heon, who was reading the newspaper, scoffed at Julian. He didn't think it was such a big deal, but...

“This isn’t bad. I haven’t paid much attention to it since it's still a while away, but I don’t have to bother looking for people anymore.”

“That’s not the problem!”

Bang!

Jaeha stared at Ju-Heon with a serious gaze.

"Who is it? Irene? Seol-A?”

The rest of the team members chimed in as well.

“No. It might be Zhen Cai Yuan.”

“What?!”

“They’ve gotten pretty close lately.”

“Maybe it is the British princess... they went on a few dates lately. There was also that scandal.”

“Huh? It isn’t an artifact?”

“?!”

The others turned pale after hearing Ilya’s comment.

He was joking but they feared that Ju-Heon really might try to marry an artifact.

‘N, no. I can't accept an artifact as my sister-in-law.’

“A, anyway, who is it?”

They were pretty sure that it was not Seol-A.

Why?

‘Seol-A wouldn’t be crying outside right now if it was her.’

‘There’s no way it is an artifact.’

‘That just leaves one person.’

But Irene's family was too quiet for it to be her.

‘Who the hell is it?’

Jaeha was the one to break the silence.

“I, it’s your wedding, Captain-nim. You need to make it public who you are marrying so that we can prepare...!”

Ju-Heon looked toward the team as if he was shocked.

“What? Who else would it be? You guys know her...”

It was at that moment.

Buuzz.

“!”

Ju-Heon looked at his phone and his eyes opened wide.

It was a call from Korea.

Ju-Heon picked up as he realized something.

“Ah, hyung. It’s been a while. Sorry, I should have contacted you first...”

Ju-Heon got up and headed toward the terrace.

And after a while...

Click.

He hung up and started packing his clothes. The clothes he was packing were the extremely fancy ones that he only wore for important public appearances!

“I'm going to Korea for a bit. It won't take that long.”

The others dropped their jaws in shock at his sudden proclamation.

They were sure of it.

‘The family meet-up!’

“It's definitely the families meeting up! I don’t know who it is, but the families are meeting!”

The team members were shrieking in shock.

“U, umm Seol-A? Are you okay?”

Jaeha looked at Seol-A who was quietly eating a late lunch.

Jaeha had come to find Seol-A as soon as he saw the article that morning. He had shouted toward her as if it was obvious.

‘Damn, congrats! You’re finally marrying the Captain-nim!’

‘Hmm? What are you talking about?’

‘.........Huh? This isn't you?’

Seol-A fell into a mental breakdown as soon as she read the newspaper. Jaeha, who felt apologetic and concerned for her mental health, was buying her lunch.

The shock must have been extremely difficult to handle as she wasn’t eating properly.

“T, the Captain-nim is getting married...”

“A, are you okay? Huh? Huh? Do you want some more soda? Or maybe you want to get drunk? Waiter! Please give me all of your most expensive drinks!”

Jaeha was extremely flustered. Despite everything they had been through, he wanted her to be happy as her close friend.

He couldn't help but be worried about her.

But Seol-A didn't seem to care.

She never expected anything nor had she been greedy for it. It had been this way from the day she chose to remain as Ju-Heons team member and not his girlfriend from the day the tomb raiding team was disbanded by Chairman Kwon.

That was why she knew that a day like this would eventually come, but she still took a lot of damage after experiencing it for real.

“I, I was planning on being happy and congratulating the Captain-nim when he got married... but...”

Seol-A sniffled.

“But he still could have said something to us first...!”

Seol-A started crying.

“I accept that Irene is a great match for him! She’s a nice giiiiiiirl!”

Jaeha patted the sniffling Seol-A on the back. Chloe poured her a cup of wine.

Actually, Irene was crying elsewhere as well.

"It’s not me either...!”

“I, it’s not?”

Julian became anxious. He had been filling out the documents for the marriage license and other things as Ju-Heon’s lawyer.

But what?

“He hasn’t said anything? He hasn’t proposed?”

Irene nodded her head.

“Nothing. It’s not me. But the articles just keep coming...!”

She was sniffling as well. She seemed to have gotten calls from multiple people.

Julian and Dan, who had come to see her, were having mental breakdowns as well.

Their reactions were to be expected.

‘That’s weird, Irene is the only possible option if it isn’t Seol-A.’

Dan whispered to Julian.

"I thought the Captain-nim already proposed. He said that the woman knows about the wedding......”

Julian's face twitched at Dan’s whisper.

Ju-Heon had definitely said that.

That was why Julian was angry.

‘What the hell is that son of a bitch doing?!’

It wasn't Seol-A and it wasn't Irene.

‘Is it really an artifact?!’

The entire team was starting to get frustrated.

While that was going on...

“You’re finally fulfilling your big bro’s wishes, Ju-Heon!”

In Korea...

Inspector Kim was very happy as he met Ju-Heon for the first time in a long while.

“You punk, remember how you used to tell me that you would never get married? You completely ignored me whenever I asked to see some nephews!”

“Of course, I'm not even thirty yet.”

Well, he was close to sixty if he added his age from before he regressed.

“Why did you suddenly decide to get married after saying no for so long?”

"Because I found a good ring artifact?”

Ju-Heon chuckled as he continued to speak.

"Anyway, now that things are like this, I know that it is extremely sudden and might be too much, but I hope you and sister-in-law could attend as my parents.”

“W, what?!”

Inspector Kim and his wife's eyes opened wide. Inspector Kim and his wife who was a professor... These two had been with Ju-Heon since he was an immature little kid.

“I guess I can’t force you to do it if you don’t want to.”

“N, no! It’s just that we heard that Chairman Kwon Hyuk Soo and President Edward were your patrons...”

They didn't dare to be Ju-Heon's family with such amazing people in his life. They felt as if it wasn't their place.

But forget patrons...

“Those old men are my sl...no, they are just my business partners.”

Ju-Heon smiled brightly.

“Let me make it clear. My only family in Korea are you and sister-in-law.”

“Ju-Heon...!”

These were people who had treated him so well when he was a little punk. They had done so much to protect him and his sister against Chairman Kwon’s terrible ways when he worked at TKBM prior to his regression.

Furthermore, they didn’t have much money but they still put aside a large amount for him.

Kwon Hyuk Soo might be upset that he won't get to sit at the wedding as the ‘father,’ but it didn’t matter.

‘Just be happy that I'll be taking your money for the wedding, you old bastard.’

As the corners of Ju-Heon's lips were twitching...

His sister-in-law innocently asked with joy.

“Show us a picture of the woman who will be your wife. She is pretty, right?”

“Ah, of course she’s pretty.”

Ju-Heon showed them a picture on his phone. But the couple’s eyes opened wide.

It couldn't be helped because...

[#$#&$!]

Am I pretty? Am I pretty?

The rope was batting its eyes while coiled around on top of the phone.

Ju-Heon was shocked.

“Hey move, you little punk!”

He quickly tried to move the rope away but the rope wrapped itself on the screen like a piece of gum.

It even tried to act cute to Inspector Kim and his wife.

[#$**#$8!]

Please take good care of me! Please take good care of me!

The rope's eyes flashed as it greeted its father and mother-in-law.

It must have put some blush on its cheeks since one side of the rope was red!

‘This damn punk, you’re just a rope...!’

“Get off, you little punk...!"

[#$#&$!]

No! No!

“I said get off...!”

Ju-Heon barely managed to get the rope off and showed them his phone again.

“It’s not the rope... here...”

However...

Flutter!

A Crow suddenly burst into the room! The Crow grabbed the phone and started running.

“?!”

This Crow was none other than his Heirloom, the Three-legged Crow.

Ju-Heon jumped up in shock.

‘That thing isn’t even shiny!’

“Hey! Give that back! Hey!”

However, the Three-legged Crow just ignored him and ran off. It might be planning on destroying his phone.

Ju-Heon sighed after having his phone stolen and pulled out his wallet.

He had a photo or two he kept in his wallet.

“Here... here is a picture of us together...”

However...

“.............”

The couple shot had been turned into a single shot a long time ago.

There were visible scissor marks on the photo.

‘These little shitheads.’

Ju-Heon put his wallet back and smiled although he was visibly angry.

“Just search her name. She is someone you know very well, sister-in-law, and her picture should pop up right away......”

Unfortunately, it looked as if this wedding would be very difficult for him to complete.
