"As an observer, this initially had nothing to do with me. But out of a sense of public duty, I must step forward and speak a word of justice for Lord Tao and his son!"
"Although Lord Tao and his son have made a mistake, their crime does not warrant death. Furthermore, Lord Tao Jinshan just risked his own safety to fight Takeda Masao, nearly losing his life in the process!"
