Urban Plundering: I Corrupted The System!-Chapter 240 : A $30-Billion Transaction

Parker couldn't help but be a little shooked at Tessa's status. The girl hadn't just walked up the power ladder—she'd straight-up leaped. And her abilities? They weren't even growing like normal powers. It was more like she was unlocking them, as if they'd always been there, just waiting.

What were the damn chances?

[Thanks to all the essence you poured into her while she was still a mundane. Those are the fruits. And if I'm right, there's more to come.] Levi's voice held that usual smugness.

Parker clicked his tongue. "Yeah, yeah, I know." He plopped onto the floor, stretching his legs out. Curiosity? Half over. Now, all that was left was for them to wake up. Hopefully, he wouldn't have to deal with anyone rejecting their powers, but honestly? He wasn't worried.

Especially not about his woman.

Tessa? She'd embrace this. Probably with that casual, elegant attitude that made it seem like she'd been built for this shit from the start.

Unfazed, Parker shut his eyes and sank into meditation. There were things to sort out—memories, past lives, old beef. The Origin Families still needed handling that refused to leave his thoughts over and over. Maya was still out there. And, of course, there was his Aunt Helena and big sis the menace waiting for him.

Not that he could be bothered.

Now that he had a firm foothold in the magical world, the Ether Community wouldn't be on his ass as much. If anything, his current status would make things way easier. That meant he could lazily grind, plunder everything in his path, and build his empire without the usual distractions.

Trillions? Yeah, those were coming. Magic? He'd use it when necessary. Right now, the goal was simple: Go fast. Get money. Own the world—in shadows of course.

Meanwhile, true to Parker's capitalist dreams, Cassidy was finalizing the paperwork for his next power move—buying out the entertainment company he'd had his eyes on.

On the other side of her desk? The finished contracts that would wipe Blackwood's company off the business map. Just the thought of it made her smirk. She'd been in contact with the Real Estate Avengers a few hours ago—Ava, Alina, and Claire. As soon as Ava landed back in New York, the four of them set to split up for work:

Two of the team had already packed up and were heading to Delaware to check out the land where their office building was supposed to go. After some back-and-forth, they all agreed to build it from scratch—a bold move, but one that made sense. Cassidy had pitched the idea, and as usual, her instincts were solid.

No messy renovations, no dealing with past owners. Just a brand-new monument to their success. The other two were going to Sophisticated Space to see the latest high-tech project.

As for Cassidy? Hollywood was not on her to-do list today.

She figured Parker might actually enjoy handling that himself—probably with Tessa—hopefully Parker would accept this little vacation. Something about him screamed "I need a victory lap for my empire", and what better way to do it than walking into a brand-new skyscraper in his name?

She shook her head, signing off on another document. The man was unstoppable. And honestly? She respected the hell out of it.

Cassidy exhaled, shaking her head. One more piece left on the chessboard. Once the Summit & Wolfe buy-in was done, Parker could finally breathe a little easier.

The only problem? Those spineless executives were dragging their feet like their lives depended on it. She got it, though. If she were them, she'd be terrified too. Ava Klein and her unstoppable team were steamrolling through corporate America like a goddamn hurricane.

Summit & Wolfe's high-ups were scrambling, desperate to find some miracle loophole to block the takeover. But it wasn't gonna happen—not with Alan Wolfe himself and several of Ava's colleagues backing her. They weren't just fighting Ava anymore; they were up against a juggernaut. The only thing that had slowed Ava down before was money—and that was no longer a problem.

Whoever knew about her secret funding from Parker? They kept their damn mouths shut.

Because snitching on a woman whose backer casually threw millions around like pocket change on just tips? Yeah, that was career suicide. If anything, everyone wanted to stay in Ava's good graces. Hell, they probably prayed for the chance to carry her damn coffee just to stay on her radar.

Parker's reckless generosity was working overtime. Alan himself was a bit helpless and could only support Ava in shadows since right now he was on verge of losing the firm that's why he was supporting Ava then the firm he'd dedicated his whole life on wouldn't fall into the hands of those greedy vultures.

Cassidy leaned back in her chair, fingers tapping idly on the desk.

"It'll be over soon."

If things dragged out any longer, she'd step in herself.

She was free now, after all. Robert Blackwood's dumbass procrastination at first in saving his sinking business had given her a head start. If it came down to it, she'd put her foot on the gas and make sure Summit & Wolfe was in their hands ASAP.

Besides, she owed Ava.

Even though Cassidy had known Parker long before Ava entered the picture—hell, she'd been close to his family for years—it was Ava who ultimately secured her place in Parker's world. If not for her, Cassidy might've never landed a deal with the young billionaire, the nephew of her best friend.

She smirked.

"Well, time to finish what we started." This next move wasn't just big—it was fucking massive. Sophiscated Space!

Sophisticated Space wasn't just some regular real estate stop where Parker and his people were securing a few hundred-million-dollar deals. Nah.

This was some $100-billion, earth-shaking, economy-bending, boardroom-sweating type of shit. And the silence from Sophisticated Space these past few weeks? It wasn't because they were hesitant. Hell no.

They'd been preparing.

When Claire and Alina got the call, they weren't just getting updates on some random project—they were being briefed on $30 billion worth of property acquisitions that had already gone through. The only thing left? Sign some papers and casually drop a fat-ass bag of billions like it was Monopoly money.

And, of course, Sophisticated Space's CEO herself wanted in.

Because there was zero chance in hell a $30-billion transaction was happening without the top dog stepping into the room. Cassidy had to admit, she respected the hell out of that.

She'd always thought of Sophisticated Space as an under-the-radar heavyweight in the real estate game. But now? They were moving like a trillion-dollar entity in the making. And at least they had the sense to keep this entire deal quiet. The last thing they needed was the media sniffing around before the ink even dried.

But there was one issue.

Parker wasn't picking up his goddamn phone.

Neither was Tessa.

Cassidy frowned, tapping her fingers against the desk.

Was he good?

Was he off throwing money at something absurd again? Buying an island? Another superyacht? No, no, he'd said he was gonna wait until he turned eighteen before doing dumb billionaire shit.

But then again…

Was he really gonna wait?
