Conquest { VII }

Rowan was so focused on his purchase that he didn't notice the ugly expression on D'andre's face as he stared at him.

[ Confirm purchase of 510 Common-grade swords, spears, bows, arrows, leather armor, and shields for 2,075,000 evolution points – YES/NO ]

Rowan's finger hovered over the YES button. As his hand moved closer, D'andre's eyes grew wider with alarm.

Time seemed to slow down comically at that moment.

In a last-ditch effort to stop Rowan from making such a reckless decision, D'andre shot up from his seat and sprinted toward him, his mouth slowly opening as he let out a loud "NOOO!!"

Time still moved comically slow as the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned tense.

Rowan's finger was just two inches from the YES button.

D'andre was seven feet away.

But despite his desperate attempt, he couldn't stop Rowan in time.

DING!
