Urban Plundering: I Corrupted The System! - Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Seoryeon and the Unimpressed Billionaire
“Good,” Parker said. “I want that finalized.”

Cassidy hummed. “It will be.” Then, a pause. “Oh, and speaking of power moves—Sophisticated Space has been on a fucking rampage. Ava and Alina have been working overtime, but this is some next-level shit.”

Parker arched a brow. “How big?”

Cassidy grinned. “$42 billion big.”

Parker stilled. That was beyond just real estate expansion. That was territorial dominance. These weren’t just buildings—they were keystones in global commerce. A portfolio that screamed untouchable.

He exhaled. “Damn.”

Cassidy chuckled. “Yeah. It’s wild. They’re in the process of accessing everything now. Alina just sent me a text—more properties got thrown in last-minute. The whole thing’s turning into a monster.”

Parker nodded. “Tell them to proceed with everything.”

Cassidy tapped something on her desk. “Already did.”

Parker ran a hand over his jaw. This was moving fast. Not that he minded—he liked speed. Liked seeing results. Liked seeing power consolidate.

Then Cassidy’s voice took on a teasing edge. “Last thing—Sophisticated Space’s CEO wants a meeting with you.”

That made him pause. He rolled his neck, thinking.

“Does she know who the real boss is?”

Cassidy didn’t even hesitate. “Duh. You were personally involved in the first acquisitions. No way she doesn’t know.”

Parker sighed. He didn’t love meetings. Didn’t love corporate ass-kissing. But this woman? She’d built one of the most exclusive real estate firms in the world. If nothing else, she was capable.

Cassidy, sensing his hesitation, snickered. “So? You meeting her or nah?”

Parker exhaled. “I’ll think about it.”

Cassidy’s laughter came through the line. “Translation: you’ll ignore it for a week and decide later.”

Parker smirked. “Exactly.”

Cassidy cackled. “Who are you fooling? A week? That woman’s gonna be out here waiting for a reply that’s never coming. If you stall long enough, she might just give up and go back to Korea. That’s if you’re the sole reason she came to USA in the first place and returning to Korea without meeting you. Hopefully she came here for more different reasons than one.”

Hpnestly? Wasn’t a bad outcome.

The truth? Parker wasn’t gonna meet her.

He didn’t want to. He could already tell—now that he had fully awakened—that this woman wasn’t normal. And the fact that she’d flown all the way from South Korea just to meet him? Yeah. That was a red flag. It could be that he was overthinking but Parker was one to trust his instincts and right now his senses were tingling. Seoryeon…

She was onto something. And Parker? He wasn’t about to throw himself into another jacuzzi of problems.

Not yet.

Not when he still had Olympian Champions to deal with and Plunder.

Not when he still had Origin Families moving in the shadows.

Not when he still had that vampire bastard who attacked him.

Not when he still had that woman—power-walking straight toward him—like a goddamn final boss.

And sure as hell, not before he had his full powers.

Because if this Korean CEO lady wasn’t a regular human? If she was tied to something bigger, something nastier? Then walking into that meeting unprepared would be the dumbest move of his life.

Yeah, he could hack into her records. Dig up something hidden in shadows. But how much would that really tell him?

Better safe than sorry.

Parker exhaled, rolling his shoulders like the weight of another “potential headache” was already creeping up on him.

Clichés! He could smell that from a far. And trouble? Thirty kilometres away!

“By the way,” he said, switching gears. “Don’t give Seoryeon’s people any expectations. That meeting? Might not happen.”

Cassidy hummed, and he could practically hear her smirk through the phone. “Figured. You dodging or just not interested?”

“A little bit of both,” he admitted. “They don’t need to be on standby, waiting on something that’s not gonna happen.”

“Got it. I’ll let them down gently—tell ’em the big scary boss-man is too busy taking over the world.”

He snorted. “Sounds about right. Speaking of which, start the preparations for the Infinity Holdings headquarters in Delaware. That building—” He paused, picturing it in his head. “It’s not just an office. It’s gonna be the palace for my business empire. So I don’t want ‘good,’ I don’t want ‘great.’ I want something that makes people’s necks snap when they see it. Something so insane, even billionaires will rethink their life choices.”

Cassidy let out a low whistle. “Damn. You’re really going for the ‘Bow before me, peasants’ vibe, huh?”

“Damn right,” Parker said. “With your connections and Ava, Claire, and Alina’s death grip on real estate, I expect nothing but perfection.”

“You got it, boss.”

“Also, schedule a meeting with Callista Nova. I’ll deal with that personally.” Cassidy made a note of it, and with that, the call ended.

Parker leaned back, stretching out his legs. His thoughts drifted to Levi.

“How far did you get?” he asked aloud and Cassidy could tell he wasn’t talking to her.

Levi’s voice, smooth as ever, replied instantly. [I finished the entertainment knowledge days ago. It’s already crafted into a wave—you can transfer it to your mind or someone else’s whenever you want!]

He nodded. His system wasn’t simple.

Now that he actually thought about it, the damn thing was a masterpiece. The base structure? Built with Sixth-life technology. The tweaks? All his own. And the last finishing touch? A goddess.

Which goddess exactly? He didn’t know yet. But he had a damn good guess.

His system was OP as hell. It had been built across three entire lifetimes. Even after Eighth Parker died, it kept developing—for one reason.

NINTH PARKER. The last one.

So yeah, transferring top-tier knowledge wasn’t even a challenge.

And that’s why he was meeting Callista—he needed to assess her himself. See if she was good enough. Trustworthy enough. Because he wasn’t about to waste time doing things himself when Callista was right there.

“Levi, make sure the AI assisting Callista is tailored to her. Personality, preferences, everything.”

[Already did.]Levi’s tone was smug. [The moment I saw the contract and paperwork after Cassidy bought the agency.]

Parker smirked. Instantaneous. Spontaneous. That was Levi for you.

[Now say it,]she teased.

He shrugged. “You already read my thoughts. That’s enough.”

[Ugh. Emotionally constipated, Master]

Parker just chuckled.
