The eight thieves that had just robbed a store on the street Marcus and his companions were walking down were running away and about to duck into an alley and disappear into the backstreets of Houten's capital.
Unfortunately for them, Marcus, Mrazivý, Miguel, and Lilia had locked their sights on them, and their chances of escape had been reduced to zero.
Naturally, Marcus could have stopped the thieves from where he was standing with his phantom pressure, but that would not have been any fun. When miscreants are running away from the scene of a crime, it is thematic to chase after them on foot.
"Ah, thank you. I will go and stop them myself. If you all just wait here, I will be back once I am finished." Agustin said, taking Marcus' words as permission to purse the thieves.
However, before he rushed off, Marcus raised a hand to stop him.
