• Bristle explained to his white Boarman brother that he had targeted Tao Yu for his taming skill and believed his family connections and alibi would protect him.
• The white Boarman warned Bristle that he should have handled Tao Yu more thoroughly, especially because Tao Yu was connected to the Sun Family.
