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.
