Spirit City, Pope Palace.
When the black-robed man spoke the three words "Su Yuntao," Bibi Dong, the Pope who had always kept her emotions hidden, froze where she stood.
Her eyes widened slightly as she stared fixedly at that unfamiliar, resolute face on the Sky Screen.
Only after three full breaths did she gradually recover.

Still, Bibi Dong was, after all, a formidable figure of her generation.
