To deal with a fraudster, the easiest method was to kill and behead—directly combat the root of the problem. However, Wang Lu was still reluctant to kill inside the Wang Family Village, even though he struggled very hard not to do it.
Otherwise, his spirit of professional adventurer would not necessarily allow him to debate a swindler. Just like one should not fight a pig in the mud because it would drag them on its level and spatter them with the mud; even if one won the struggle, one would still be covered with mud. If he instead directly butchered the pig, he could eat the pig; the food chain was enough to prove everything.
However, even though the opponent could not be physically defeated this time, from a different angle, “killing” the spirit of the opponent should be enough.
