Ch. 1521..1530

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1521-Stilling his pounding heart, Urian did his best to look calm. "Where did you get this button?"

However, he had no idea that Frank's sharp eye noticed the flicker of panic he showed for a second.

He had a hunch right then that Urian was connected to the saboteurs who attacked Lanecorp's transport trucks.

In fact, he was in the loop and not just a supplier of clothes, or he would not panic like that.

It was just an instant, but Frank could see through Urian.

Bang!

Frank slammed his palm on Urian's desk, projecting an invisible pressure as he leaned close to Urian's pudgy face. "Mr. Reno, I'm asking you a question! Now, tell me did you manufacture this button?!" While Urian flinched from Frank's threat, he gulped.

Still, he came to his senses before he said anything this was not right!

This was Longham Garments, his turf!

And since this place was his turf, why would he allow anyone to threaten him here?!

Even if he was up against Noel, Chet had already said it-Noel did not have any backing now.

What was he even afraid of?

With that in mind, his flustered reaction turned calm, and he glanced at Noel as he growled coolly, "Ms. York, you really should discipline your boy. This is my turf! Is this how you approach me with a request?" Noel frowned a little when she saw that Urian was so calm. "You misunderstand, Mr. Reno. This gentleman isn't my bodyguard, he's-"

Frank turned to wink at Noel. "Actually, Ms. York is exaggerating-I am Ms. York's bodyguard at this moment."

It was clear that Urian knew something, and it was best not to reveal themselves at the moment the priority was to probe him.

Noel was certainly sharp too and nodded at Frank's cue. "Alright, let's put aside the issue of bodyguards-what I'd like to ask, Mr. Reno, is whether your factory produced this button."

Urian, however, was wary now that he saw that neither Frank nor Noel were there to talk business. "No." He denied it bluntly.

Who were they kidding? If he had no brains, how would he have survived in this business for years?

He could tell right away that the pair did not have simple intentions, not to mention that they had produced evidence of a very delicate issue.

Even if Urian had no idea where they got the button, telling them that he knew would be admitting that he was an accomplice when Lanecorp found the saboteurs.

He was just paid to make those suits-he was not about to take the blame.

However, while Urian was musing to himself, Noel caught a cue from Frank and sighed softly, flashing a look of disappointment. "Oh, it's not from here?" "Eh?"

Urian was puzzled to see Noel disappointed.

"Hehe. You see, I met this gentleman just today…"

Noel winked as she put to use her acting skills, @ursing her lips in dismay. "I found this button dropped from his suit sleeve, and I like it a lot since it's very unique. I traced it all the way here, intending to have this button used for the costumes of my next production. What a shame…."

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1522-Noel carefully tucked the button into her pocket, patting it. "And since you're not the manufacturer, I shall excuse myself."

One could expect nothing less from her, getting into character even when she was not filming at the moment.

There was a mix of sadness and disappointment on her face, and it was almost not an act the way she looked at the button-she looked just like a maiden who had just found an object of affection. And now, she appeared in a dilemma but nodded at Frank to leave Urian's office together.

At the same time, Frank had a hunch that Urian would stop them when they reached the door.

After all, Frank had observed that Urian was fickle, and it would take an idiot not to take an opportunity to make money.

There was no way he could resist that, just as it was such a major bragging point that his factory would not even need any other publicity efforts after this.

The influence of Draconia's top actress was no joke it was very likely that he would receive orders from every corner of Draconia come tomorrow.

In fact, it was thanks to Noel's endorsement of and celebrity influence on Frank's farm resort that Riverton was made famous throughout the country. Tourists from every corner of the country traveled miles to visit, and there were even groupies who came to drink the hot spring water Noel dipped in… According to them, one sip extended one's lifespan, and two made one immortal.

It was obviously exaggerated, but that went to show that Noel's popularity was in a class of its own in Draconia.

Even if she had been staying out of the public spotlight, her popularity never diminished.

Moreover, she was very smart and knew even using it to appeal to apply her influence- to Urian's greed. Content greed.

There was no need to worry about the man not falling for it.

And to no surprise, as soon as Frank and Noel turned and walked a couple of steps, Urian ran toward them, wheezing.

He held out his short, pudgy arms to stop them from leaving, while he laughed so much his pudgy cheeks were shaking.

He clearly fully bought Noel's act, though it made sense when Frank thought about it.

After all, Frank himself almost believed it-Urian certainly would.

Still, he was chuckling under his breath, as Urian was a lot more fickle than he thought.

"Hehe… Please, wait a moment, Ms. York." He smiled, since he had every reason to not let Noel leave.

Noel's lit up in turn. "What's wronguld there have been a mistake, and your factory made this button after all?"

"Uh…"

Urian's sweet trickled off his cheek, unsure how to respond.

While he was stammering for a moment, his eyes lit up as he had an idea.

"No, Ms. York… that's a misunderstanding. The button wasn't made here…"

Urian noticed the disappointment on Noel's face and quickly threw up his hands. "But even if it wasn't made here, we can make an imitation! If you really like it, it's not a elet problem-we could make as many as you want… So, how many do you like? And how much would you like to pay?"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1523-Seeing Urian's earnest, fawning smile, Noel smiled too.

Her expression almost drained Noel of his soul, like he was suddenly taken to paradise.

However, that all came to a screeching halt as Noel said, "Well, I'm afraid I'd have to say no."

Urian flinched and came to his senses, and asked in confusion, "But why? Don't you like that button, Ms. York?"

Noel shook her head.

"I know a thing or two about fashion, Mr. Reno-I've designed clothing myself."

Pausing, Noel then smiled. "I know that buttons appear to be a simple part of clothing, but everything from the manufacturing process and materials matter, so most factories can't perfectly imitate any button they come across. Even if they do, it'd be second best… and I need the original manufacturer urgently, so I must apologize, Mr. Reno."

Urian panicked as Noel strode around him toward the door.

"One day!"

He cried as he pressed his weight against the door. "I swear by my name, Ms. York. If your price is right and you believe me, I will provide you with a piece of insider information on top of that! You won't regret it!"

Noel was actually surprised to see that Urian was looking like he was putting everything on the line.

Was he really going to betray the saboteurs just for a business deal?

It was not just Noel either-Frank was stunned too.

If this was Urian's earnest reaction, he was really unsure about him now.

"Alright, I'll accept your suggestion. But I'm curious-what's this information you'll offer me?"

Urian's cheeks flushed at Noel's question, clearly caught in internal turmoil.

Still, his gaze soon turned determined as he looked Noel in the eye and said, "It's important information that might concern your survival. That's why I'm hoping for a reasonable price from you.

"My survival?"

Noel was left uncertain at that.

Was it possible that the saboteurs who attacked Lanecorp's transport trucks were after her and did not just wantto destroy Lanecorp's venture into showbiz?

However, she never went public with her connection to Lanecorp, and just a handful of people were aware of it.

Still, Noel quickly repressed her fears as she urgently wanted the information from Urian. "In that case, you can name your price, Mr. Reno."

Urian finally smiled. "If we're talking about a gown for a film production, counting in everything from buttons to hair ornaments… that woons five million deposit."

"What? Five million?!" Noel exclaimed, stunned by the number.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1524-"What? Five million?!" Noel exclaimed, stunned by the number.

As Draconia's top actress, while she could be nitpicky when it came to her clothes' designs, it was still ridiculous that a modest manufacturer would demand five million dollars from her. While it was not that much money to her, giving it to a man like Urian left her more or less sick.

And seeing that Noel was shocked, Urian quickly came clean and added seriously, "Trust me, Ms. York. You don't have much time-just take my deal, and you'd be dodging a bullet." "I…"

While Noel remained hesitant about paying Urian, Frank strode up.

"I'll take the deal in her stead," Frank said as he whipped out a checkbook from his coat pocket, taking a pen from Urian's desk and writing five million dollars on it. "Okay… Good, good."

As Urian took the offered check and saw that it was no fake, his face lit up in greed.

"So? Can you tell us what danger awaits her?"

Frank's question left Urian hesitant, but he soon made up his mind.

Sliding the check into his pocket, he composed himself and looked at Noel solemnly, "Take note, Ms. York-this is just the deposit. There's still another payment due worth five million. Surely you wouldn't miss this pocket change as Draconia's top actress, would you?" "Of course I'd miss the money!"

Noel was left flabbergasted by Urian's greed and almost called him a pig right then.

After all, she had just lost two billion dollars worth in equipment last night, and she was supposed to pay this pig ten million dollars just for information?!

Despite her usual flair, her rage almost spilled as she barely stayed in control. "Hehe…"

That was when Frank strode out, and he whipped out his checkbook again. It's just ten million. Ms, York isn't stingy if you could do her wardrobe justice."

Urian's eyes lit up at the sight of Frank's check book.

He basically did nothing and was already raking in ten million.

It was certainly no different from a treasure chest dropping from the skies, though he knew the risk.

After all, if he wanted the follow-up payment, he would have to renege on his deal with Chet and allow Noel to leave.

But he made up his mind-why not take a chance, when he could get so much money in return?

In fact, it was not just about letting Noel go-he wanted to mess with Chet just by telling Noel all the sleazy deeds Chet had in mind.

At that point, he just had to let them go for each other's necks, while he made money with little effort.

He had countless excuses in mind in case Chet blamed him too, for example…

Urian glanced at Frank with a cunning smile, intending to use the excuse that Frank was a marital elite knocking him out before he realized it.

In fact, he was content with that excuse-it made sense, since Noel would not travel anywhere without solid protection.

And since Urian himself was no martial artist, Noel escaping would not be his fault, would it?

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1525-Having formulated his plan to rat out Chet, Urian smiled ever so slightly. "Do you remember that man just now, Ms. York?" "Chet Jonas?"

Noel nodded.

Chet was definitely no angel-she could tell that much from the way he was so transfixed on herself.

In fact, he was very blunt about wanting her, saying stuff like a full-body checkup to find out if her goods were real.

Just thinking about the man sickened Noel-how could such someone so despicable exist?

Still, Noel bottled her repulsion and asked, "What is it, Mr. Reno? Does he intend to hurt me?"

"Exactly." Urian sighed softly. "I'll come clean right now-Chet Jonas is a Lionheart, but he's no more than a lapdog who runs errands. But this time, he has brought over a dozen Lionheart martial elites and infiltrated Zamri for unknown reasons." Seeing that both Frank and Noel were staring at him, Urian measured his words before he continued, "I'll admit that the button you brought was made in this factory, but that's a deal that Chet told me to keep secret from everyone else… "And just now, he threatened me to keep you both here while he called for backup. I'm guessing that would be the Lionheart martial elites he brought, as he's ready to capture and hurt you, Ms. York."

Urian certainly let loose as he blabbed everything in one swift stroke.

He had decided to double-cross Chet anyway, so he was simply being thorough.

He did not like Chet either, who exploited his intentions to get more business for his factory, as well as his tendency to cut corners.

After all, Chet's greed did not pale in comparison to Urian's, and he was a pervert on top of that, making up his mind in an instant that he would force himself on Noel.

Urian certainly had to consider his options at that point-if he kept helping Chet, Chet would just continue to squeeze him for money. No matter what Urian did or paid to appease him, Chet might eventually deny him the business deals he promised him too.

That meant less chances to make money, if not suffering major losses.

But if he chose to help Noel, forget the goodies he would be getting up front-he might establish himself firmly in Zamri with Noel's fame. Losses? Not a chance!

Judging from those outcomes, it went without saying who Urian would side with.

"That bastard is so… heinous!"

Noel was snapping despite her refined mannerisms too, hearing that Chet was already summoning his men to force her to comply. The man was so full of himself!

While Frank remained silent and frowned in thought, Urian added urgently, "That's what I've been saying, Ms. York-I'm selling your et that information so that you can escape in time. Chet's boys are Lionheart martial elites, and I've met them personally."

"They are each individually powerful, and not someone we should mess with. They'd capture you if you stay, and…" Urian simply trailed off, as it went without saying what would happen to Noel if the Lionhearts got their hands on her. "Before we run, I have another question for you, Mr. Reno."

Frank looked up at Urian just then, asking quietly, "Aren't you worried that Chet would make life hard for you after you betray him and let us leave?"

"Hah! I'm sick of him myself too!" Urian chuckled coolly.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1526-"Chet Jonas has been blackmailing me plenty lately."

As Urian continued, his cool smile turned into a look of exasperation. "I'd have my men gut him already if he wasn't connected to the Lionhearts!" "I see."

Frank nodded but soon remembered something else. "And you said the button was manufactured here?"

"Y-Yes?' Urian did a double take, confused just then.

Why were Frank and Noel not panicking after he told them about the imminent threat they faced, even staying ever so calm?

Still, he urged, "Don't worry about the button now-you don't have time. Chet will soon be back with his men, and you won't make it out when they do."

After all, he wanted Noel to escape and pay him the other five million dollar check! Who would he get money from if Chet captured her?

That was why Urian was the most worried here.

"Hehe. Well, everything is clear now that we've got that fact straight."

Frank turned to smile at Noel before striding up to Urian, pointing at himself with a grin. "Allow me to introduce myself, Mr. Reno. I'm Frank Lawrence, the current head of Lanecorp's health and safety department." "Oh, I see, I see, Frank Lawrence of Laneocorp! Now's really not the time for introductions, sir! I—"

Urian suddenly stopped, as he froze up despite his anxiety, his mouth hanging open but speechless.

As he turned and saw Frank smiling at him as ar-to-ear, he seemed to turn Stiff as stone. "Y-You said y were…"

"Yes, I am Frank Lawrence."

Frank beamed, even clapping Urian on the shoulder in approval. "And you might not know me, Mr. Reno but you should understand what I'm getting at now, if I tell you that Ms. York is now affiliated with Lanecorp."

"You're… She's… Lanecorp?! What?!"

Uriran stared at Noel's face in disbelief even as he realized what was happening.

So it was all an act?!

All those things Noel said-liking that button, wanting clothes made in his factory… it was all just bait?! "Mr. Reno…"

Noel's smile was as gentle as it was beautiful, but Urian no longer had any fantasies at this point.

That was the smile which deceived him! How could she lie so naturally?!

Oh wait, she was the nation's top actress!

It was only then that Urian truly realized what had happened and almost hammered his own chest to kill himself.

It was truly over-he did not expect these two to be working for Lanecorp! And he just spilled all the beans!

"Word of advice, you should see the light and reveal the entire conspiracy. Noel continued smiling, whipping out the recorder from her pocket as she narrowed her eyes: "That, or I will let Mr. Jonas listen to everything you just said. If he finds out that you were going to backstab him, hehe…"

Suddenly, Urian no longer found paradise in Noel's smile, only a fiery hell.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1527-"What the hell is going on here?!" Urian cried miserably.

He was just the owner of a modest clothing factory. Though he had some connections, one could quickly tell that he was a nobody. After all, what could a business named Longham Garments amount to? All the money he made was just enough to feed his men.

First, it was Chet Jonas and the Lionhearts, coercing him into making over a dozen uniforms within days to keep their martial elites incognito.

He yielded, giving in to both profit and threat as he made those uniforms… only for Chet to come in the next day to brag about his achievement, that his group had destroyed over two billion dollars worth of Lanecorp equipment! That was two billion dollars they were talking about!

Urian was certainly scared shitless when he found out. After all, if Lanecorp managed to trace it to them, Chet might be able to escape unscathed, while he would be screwed!

And now, Noel was herself visiting with a button he used.

He was panicking further, but because Noel put up an act while tempting him with orders and money, Urian got duped.

Never did it cross his mind that Noel was from Lanecorp, and the man beside her was the head of Lanecorp's health and security department too!

And right now, everyone in the city of Zamri knew about Lanecorp's health and safety department. Despite their name, they were a massive organization consisting of all of Zamri's gangs! Who would ever dare mess with them?! One false move, Urian's modest factory would be razed to the ground!

It was certainly a dilemma for Urian even as the thought crossed his mind, especially now that Noel was threatening him to betray Chet right now.

What should he do-yield to Lanecorp, or keep the Lionhearts' secret?

Choosing was so much more difficult now, and Urian's face turned green.

If he refused to sell out Chet and insisted he knew nothing, Lanecorp would not play nice.

But if he yielded to Lanecorp, would the Lionhearts really just let it slide?

Once Chet returns with his men, they would just-wait!

Urian's eyes lit up at that thought. Why did he not think of that before?

In just a moment, Chet would be back with the Lionheart martial elites!

He had met those Lionheart martial elites himself.

And on the Lanecorp's side was just Frank and a noncombatant in Noel.

Would they even stand a chance against Chet's martial elites?

swnove Moreover, he had over a hundred men right outside his office-even if the head of Lanecorp's health and safety department could grow extra limbs would he really be able to handle so many martial elites at BUMS once?

As Urian quietly did the math, he eventually realized that this was his only way out. After all, Lanecorp really was not all that threatening compared to the Lionhearts.

Hence, looking between Frank and Noel, Urian composed himself and snapped, "What are you talking about? Mr. Jonas and I haven't done anything! You two, on the other hand, barged into my factory slandered, and even threatened me. Do you know what you've done?!"

"Mr. Jonas, you say?"

Seeing Urian's sudden change of attitude, Frank certainly knew that Urian had switched sides again.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1528-Frank did not play nice, seizing Urian by the collar right then and slamming him against the wall.

"Argh!" Urian cried out in pain as the back of this head struck the wall.

Frank was sneering in turn and reached out to pull out the five million dollar check from Urian's pocket. "You really failed to understand your situation, Mr. Reno! I'm giving you one last chance. You can stay as the Lionhearts' lapdog and I will strangle you right here, or you can tell me everything you know."

Urian's face contorted in heartache as he watched Frank tear the check into pieces and drop it on the floor.

"I… I…" Urian stammered repeatedly, still caught in a dilemma.

"Can't decide, huh? Well, let me help you." Frank chuckled coolly and launched a spiraling burst of pure vigor straight out of his meridian nexus.

The pure vigor shot into Urian's body instantly, expanding and whirling endlessly, hitting his insides and leaving him screaming.

He dropped to the floor and convulsed endlessly, his eyes rolling up their sockets.

"Frank, what…"

Noel frowned worriedly, assuming that Frank had killed Urian since it was a horrific reaction.

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Frank smiled and smacked his palm on Urian's chest, dispersing the pure vigor.

It still took Urian a while to gather himself, and Frank asked, "So, Mr. Reno-shall we continue?"

Urian stared at Frank as if he was the devil himself, his cheeks drained of color.

He shook his head repeatedly, as it felt like someone had sawn off his insides, inch by inch.

No person could endure it, let alone Urian, who barely had any strength of will.

As he lay limply and stared at Frank in fear, Frank poked him on the hip, and suddenly, all the pain faded from his body.

"So? Are you going to talk now?" Frank asked.

It was such a bizarre technique that Urian was left dumbstruck.

He heaved for a while and eventually breathed an exasperated sigh.

"A-Alright… I don't want to die yet, and since you've asked "

Before he finished, Urian suddenly leapt to his feet and dashed at top speed out of his own office, screaming even as he did, "Boys, get your weapons! We have troublemakers here!"

Noel was at once flustered when she realized what Urian just did.

On the other hand, Frank remained smiling coolly. "Mr. Reno, since you refused to see reason, you have no one else to blame now!" "Fuck you!"

Urian shouted at his general direction even as he scrambled away. "You bastard! I thought I could make money with you, but you're just here to trick me?! You're done!"

en FindNovel Then, as his goons rushed over with metal bats and machetes, Urian stopped running and stood in the distance as he gloated at Frank et "Once Chet returns, you are both resting in pieces! No one would even show up at your funeral!"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1529-Then, when Urian was done snapping at Frank, he turned toward his men and yelled, "Boys! Just keep that prick there Mr. Jonas will soon be back with the Lionheart martial elites, and they'll kill him on the spot. All we have to do is just enjoy the show!" "Alright!" The goons cheered.

One had to give it to Urian, holding such sway over his men that they quickly surrounded his office and Frank and Noel who were inside.

They were clearly not intending to hurt Frank, only to keep him there.

Noel frowned as she could see what Urian was planning and pointed at Urian as she snapped, "You're despicable!"

"Despicable?!" Urian snorted. "Hah! Don't think that you're untouchable just because you're Draconia's top actress! How naive, trying to build something for yourself when you have no patron!" "Damn it!"

Noel clenched her fist, but Urian was right.

She had wanted to build something for herself in Draconia's showbiz with the sweat of her brow, only for the advanced equipment she pinned her hopes on to be destroyed.

Not only did that inflict terrible losses for Lanecorp, but she also got Frank involved, and they were now surrounded.

But while she was caught in anger and guilt, Frank read her mind and flashed an assuring smile. "Don't worry-we didn't fall for anything here. In fact, someone even went out of their way to serve us dinner. From a certain point of view, it's all thanks to you." "What? Thanks to me?" Noel was left at a loss.

Frank smiled and nodded without offering further explanation, instead turning toward the gloating Urian. have a question-so it was Chet Jonas men who sabotaged Lanecorp's transport towel.ne "Yes!"

Urian gave up on pretenses, seeing that he had Noel and Frank surrounded, laughing viciously as he came clean. "And I provided their suits and a safe house here in Zamri, hidden from Lanecorp's eyes. I've really put in considerable effort here!"

Frank laughed, hearing how smug Urian was. "Mr. Reno, did you really think your pawns could stop me?"

Urian laughed coldly back despite Frank's glare of contempt. "Oh, I just need them to keep you here for five minutes. Mr. Jonas and his men will be back soon enough, and you're not getting away!" However, Frank's smile broadened at his gloating, and he even started clapping.

"Eh?"

Urian was left staring blankly at Frank's lax attitude and smile, feeling that something was wrong nět just then "What are you smiling t about? We have you exactly where we want you, and you're going to die?! Is your brain malfunctioning?"

Frank kept smiling despite Noel's confused stare. "Where you want me? What are you talking about?"

"You've really lost your mind, huh?!"

Urian leveled a sneer of contempt at Frank as if he was an idiot and pointed at his hundred over goons. "We have you surrounded! How dare you threaten me… You're never leaving now!" "Hehe…"

Frank simply smiled at Urian in amusement, even wagging his finger at him.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1530-"You're wrong, Mr. Reno. I have you exactly where I want you, and…' Frank's smile broadened. "You've really spared me the trouble of searching everywhere for the saboteurs of Lanecorp's transport trucks. How convenient." "What? What the hell are you saying? You have "

Even before Urian finished, his triumphant expression turned to shock and then panic.

After all, Frank just leapt out of his office so quickly that he was a blur and boldly landed into the center of the hundreds of goons.

"Argh!!!"

"Oof!"

"My arm! My arm!"

The goons were screaming every exclamation possible as Frank changed among their ranks like a wolf among sheep.

He was unstoppable, hitting the goons even before they realized what happened with ease as if on a garden stroll.

He would break arms or legs without a thought, while all the goons could see was a shadow flashing before their eyes. Terrible pain would soon ensue as they looked down to find a disjointed limb or wrists that were twisted in a circle.

Even as most of the others screamed in pain, one of the goons finally zeroed in on Frank.

But when he raised his steel bat, poised to strike, Frank disappeared in an instant like a ghost and reappeared behind him.

Bones crunched audibly, and the goon did not even have time to glimpse Frank's shadow when he looked down to find his ankles crushed.

He screamed hysterically as he dropped to the floor, clutching his legs.

The same thing continued for over a minute.

By the time Frank dusted his hands in front of a rigid Urian, his lively goons that numbered up to a hundred were now all lying prone on the ground, some screaming while others unconscious from sheer agony.

Either way, none of them were getting out.

Urian gasped as he looked on, dumbstruck.

There was no question that he had met martial artists before-that was, the Lionheart martial elites whom Chet Jonas had brought with him.

The way they moved was mysterious and their strength immense, but Urian could least size them up.

While his goons would never beat any of them in a one-on-one fight the Lionheart martial elites would not win when his goons had numbers on their side.

It was why he was confident enough to insult Frank-he only stopped his boys from attacking because he would rather spare himself any casualties. After all, while the Lionheart martial elites might not necessarily beat his men, Frank was somehow gloating that they were where he wanted them to be?

That only made Urian further confident, unaware that the Lionhearts were intent on keeping a low profile.

That was why they sent in novices who were vigor wielders at best, which turn gave Urian the wrong idea that this was all those martial artists could do.

However, there was no comparing Frank to those Lionheart rats, just as the martial art novices would not compare to his power.

He could floor over a hundred average Joes, even if he had to stay physical without using his pure vigor.

If he did use his pure vigor, they would all be dead.

"Oh… Haha…"

Urian flashed an awkward smile at Frank, even as he trembled in fear. "Mr. Lawrence… would you believe me if I told you that I was just joking?"
