Earlier, you mentioned something about witnesses. Do they serve a special role?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—That is correct. A minimum of five witnesses are required for the union ceremony, and these witnesses are automatically selected from the first guests to arrive at the ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it’s first come, first served among the guests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Selected guests are recorded on both the list of blessed participants and the list of witnesses. This record may also be used as a reference in future family court cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Does that mean the witnesses are seen as having a significant connection to the married couple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a vague understanding of the concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, suppose a prominent politician attended the wedding of a famous criminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone would naturally assume there was a strong connection between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a similar vein, even in space, a guest witnessing the ceremony—and especially being selected as a witness on a first-come basis—was seen as having a notable relationship with the hosts or the newlyweds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does this mean there's going to be a scramble to enter late, so they can avoid being witnesses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Yeongwoo, the only witness who came to mind immediately was Chairman Dogo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the chairman, he would behave however he liked, whether he was selected as a witness or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was unclear if he could serve as both a witness and a guarantor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So at least five guests need to step up and take responsibility. Becoming a witness might be a disadvantage if there’s ever a trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—It’s a sign of trust and loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But a lot of my guests are borderline criminals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea of a trial might feel remote to benevolent aliens, but the aliens Yeongwoo knew had different stakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because many of the primary guests were from weapon-making companies involved in all sorts of shady business or bribed planet inspectors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, the ceremony will proceed as scheduled tomorrow. The current time is….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current time, 3:23 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo checked the time and looked at Kubu, his eyes flashed blue as he answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Arrangements have been made. The union ceremony will take place at 3:23 PM tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Kubu asked Yeongwoo for the ceremony venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Where would you like the union ceremony to be held? As your administrative representative, I must provide the coordinates to the family court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right? We have to decide the location too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo scanned the iron-clad expanse of Metal Seoul with his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And soon made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about Gwangjin District? If a fight breaks out, there won’t be anyone hurt besides the guests, and there’s nothing but buildings to be destroyed there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Understood. The union ceremony location will be reported as Gwangjin District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the wedding venue for Jeonggu and Jiseon was confirmed to be Gwangjin District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although neither of their preferences were reflected, they understood there were no other choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Looks like all sorts of scoundrels will come to my wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiseon muttered under her breath, and Yeongwoo shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's precisely why it’s more meaningful. This wedding will significantly impact our planet’s rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What are you talking about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You saw the guest list earlier, right? The mere gathering of those people in one place is already a massive event. It will surely influence the evaluation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other planets that requested ranking reviews may also have considerable influence, but there's always a limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo was certain not many planets would gather the universe's worst villains under the guise of a parent’s wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, the only thing left….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo looked at the clock again, and Jiseon was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Isn’t everything done? What else is there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re mostly finished with the wedding preparations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Right…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But today’s tasks aren’t over yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current time, 3:27 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About three hours and thirty minutes later, the addresses of the three companies competing for Earth’s development rights would be revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From 7 PM tonight, the real battle begins. I don’t know how it will play out….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What? The ceremony is tomorrow, but the battle starts today? What the hell is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay. I’ve invited our opponents as guests, so there won’t be any issues with the ceremony itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though we do have to make it through tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, as Yeongwoo spoke, the “Tower” in Jongno District began to shine white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was using a high-speed transit route to get there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lower wall of the tower opened, and from within emerged Bantubangtong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo ran to greet the Orc Lord, who likely brought 120 million in tow, while rows of red-footed orcs followed behind him, carrying large bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Small Foot, I brought the money as promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Money?
