:3Oh? They think that they can just come in and inquire against the Greatest Lawyer in the world!? Well, I may have a few things to respond to! One of which being..."OBJECTION!" Marco shouted, to the gathering of people around him. Little known fact: Marco actually used to be a lawyer in the other world, so he knows his way around a few legal arguments. He continued, striking a powerful pose to everybody who had arrived.
"Deciding to attack a man for what he said, without having read his Miranda Rights first, is a violation of the Miranda Rights themselves." Pulling a crate over from the other side, Marco slammed his hands onto it.
"Furthermore, none of you are officers, and therefore are not qualified to read my Miranda Rights, let alone arrest me. Clearly, a contradiction to your claim!" Marco triumphantly called out, holding up a few pieces of paper, and brushing his hand up against them.
"These papers are blank, and have nothing to do with the case!" He admitted, powerfully, before slamming his hands onto the crate once again.
"Now, back onto the case at hand! Since you are trying to claim that I am a culprit for something that happened in a place that is quite a long way from here, and still think that I could have walked all the way there and then back to here. How is that possible, for a man wearing bulky armor, such as myself, to travel between there and here, in such a short time frame?"A contradiction already formed: The Adventurers did it, too, so it isn't without reason that he could do it as well. Not to mention, he's a cavalier, and he could just very easily call about his horse, and ride away without too much trouble. But, the number of people here, who have already seen his face, would also be able to recognize him, should they ever cross paths again. Obviously something he didn't want to have happen. So, he decided to play it cool from here, and just see how far he could get with the whole Lawyer thing.
"Now, explain to me this, those who accuse me." Marco continued.
"Why are none of you proclaiming that they are involved with the trouble on Londinium? It could very much be that one of you is hiding among the others, trying to pin the blame on somebody else!" Marco very quickly pointed up and to the roof of a nearby building, at the girl who was hiding up there.
"Perhaps it could be her! The girl hiding up atop the roof! For what reason does she hide? Why would she need to conceal herself in a shroud, if she is innocent!?" Marco laughed aloud, triumphantly, tilting himself back, but too far back. Losing his balance, Marco fell onto his back, and suddenly, a soft whirring could be heard from him. His eyes widened, as the device he had been given had turned on.
The device itself was called a Level Nullification Device, or a Lind for short. What it does is it lowers everybody's levels to a specified number, and lowers their stats along with it, in a rather wide range. However, normally, this would effect the one who uses the device in the first place. Unbeknownst to the Adventurers, though, Marco had also been given another device, which would nullify the effects of the Lind. This other object, placed securely on Marco's inner armor, was already active from the moment he left the HQ. Having this ace up his sleeve actually hindered him at the moment.
The fact that his level didn't drop would be more than enough of a reason for the others to suddenly attack Marco, which he very quickly realized, and began to visibly sweat. Swiftly regaining his composure, Marco stood back up, struck his pose, and laughed again.
"Case closed!" He shouted quickly, before summoning his horse, climbing onto it, and began to charge off into the distance.
"I'll see you all in court!" He shouted, as he began to run. But, the streets were narrow, and had many turns, so the horse was rather slow. Still sweating, Marco tried to guide the horse.
