Outside a tall, imposing villa, dozens of soldiers were arguing with a wedding procession.
"Today is your Commander He's big day. I've only ever heard of people blocking the wedding procession, never blocking the wedding party. If word gets out, it will only make you, Commander He, lose face. Quickly make way and welcome us in."
"Our commander has been unconscious for half a month and has not agreed to any marriage. If the commander has not approved, then she is not our commander's wife and cannot enter!"
"You're talking nonsense! The spouse section of your commander currently lists our young master's name, which has legal effect and is protected by the Empire. It's not something you can just deny."
"I don't care, we'll talk about everything after the commander wakes up."
"If you dare to stop me, I'll post this on the StarNet, and then we'll see who's embarrassed!"
"........"
The two sides argued fiercely.
Inside the wedding car, a thin, pale-faced boy lay on the sofa, his breath faint.
"Butler, is this person about to die?" the maid asked in a panic.
The middle-aged butler placed his index finger under the boy's nose and found that the boy's breathing was so weak that it was almost non-existent. He panicked immediately, "Go tell the people outside to speed up. If they can't, force our way in. I don't believe they would dare to fire!"
"Yes." The maid hurriedly got out of the car.
The middle-aged butler stared intently at the boy's face. When he noticed the boy's face turning bluish-purple, he gritted his teeth and said, "Never mind, even if he dies, he'll die in the He family!"
The middle-aged butler picked up the boy and got off the car.
"The bride is coming! Make way, make way!" the middle-aged butler shouted.
Upon hearing this, the wedding procession immediately pushed the soldiers aside with their bodies, saying, "Our young master is Commander He's legal partner, legally, you know that!"
"But our commander hasn't woken up and hasn't given any permission—"
"Just treat this as a wedding to bring good luck. Maybe your commander will wake up after the wedding."
"This, this—"
"Stop with the 'this' and 'that'! If you miss the auspicious time and delay your commander from waking up, you'll be a sinner!"
The wedding party forcefully pushed past the soldiers and rushed into the villa.
At this moment, no one noticed that the boy on the butler's body had stopped breathing, nor did anyone notice that a ball of light had struck the boy and attached itself to him.
The wedding procession stormed into the villa, rushed into the hall, and was about to go upstairs when they discovered a row of gun barrels pointed at them on the stairs.
They're good at talking, but when it comes to real guns and ammunition, they immediately back down.
"We've already entered the house, so we've completed our mission, right?"
"Calculate, calculate, how can we not calculate? Take a photo, keep it as evidence, and go collect your wages."
"Okay."
The photographer snapped a few random pictures of the boy on the butler's back and the villa's lobby. "All done, let's go!"
The wedding procession began to retreat.
"Butler, what should we do?" The maid trembled as she followed closely beside the butler.
The butler glanced at the lobby. "There's a sofa over there. We'll drop them off there and leave."
The butler placed the boy on the sofa in a rather rough manner. Without caring whether the boy was alive or dead, they ran out of the villa without looking back.
The butler and maid rushed back to the car and slammed the door shut.
"Butler, is that young master Li Ze still alive?" the maid asked in a low voice.
"Alive. No matter who asks, you must firmly tell them that we delivered the living Young Master Li Ze to Commander He's villa," the butler said through gritted teeth.
If it weren't for the fact that the old master of the Li family had made a will requiring that young master Li Ze be married into the He family so that Li Ze's father, Li Zonghe, could inherit the company's shares, Li Zonghe and his young wife, Lin Ran, would not have joined forces to force the terminally ill and comatose Li Ze into marriage.
If the person isn't sent to the He family soon, and Li Ze dies, all the company's shares will be donated.
All of the Li family's real estate, jewelry, and savings are under Li Ze's name. Li Ze had also made a will long ago, stipulating that upon his death, all of his property would be donated, leaving nothing to his father, Li Zonghe, or his brothers.
This forced Li Zonghe and Lin Ran to hire a wedding procession to take the unconscious Li Ze to He Xingjue's villa.
As for He Xingjue—
An SS-rank sentinel, young yet with a distinguished record of military exploits, he became the commander of the Snow Wolf Legion at the age of twenty-eight, making him the youngest commander in the Empire's history.
He Xingyang, He Xingjue's cousin, was engaged to Li Ze, but He Xingyang loved someone else and was unwilling to marry Li Ze. Therefore, the person who married Li Ze became He Xingjue, who had been seriously injured and in a coma for more than half a month and whose chances of waking up were said by doctors to be less than 50%.
The He family couldn't bear the stigma of breaking their promises, while the Li family only needed to marry Li Ze into the He family; they didn't care who he married. So, disregarding the wishes of Li Ze and He Xingjue, the heads of both families used connections and back channels to register their marriage. They didn't even hold a wedding ceremony, simply bringing together two people who had never met before.
Inside He Xingjue's villa, a group of guards stood on the stairs leading to the second floor, looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering what to do in the current situation.
"Commander Chen only told us to hold this place and not let anyone go up and disturb the commander."
"Therefore, we don't need to meddle in other people's business."
They happened to be unsure what to do with this young master of the Li family.
The person on the sofa did not open his eyes, but he had been replaced by a different soul, Li Ze, or more precisely, Li Ze, a demon born from devouring evil spirits.
Just a moment ago, he was fighting to the death with the Demon King Ji Lin in the Demon Realm. He destroyed Ji Lin's Demon Palace, and Ji Lin was furious. He broke off his demon horns and slapped him with a palm, sending him into a spacetime rift.
