Succession of the Pope

"Today, I gathered everyone here despite your busy schedules for three matters."

Qian Daoliu's gaze swept across the seventeen Titled Douluo present. The usual kindly smile was gone from his face, replaced only by barely concealed fury and killing intent. This was directed at Tang Hao, and likewise at the Clear Sky Sect.

He did not waste words and went straight to the point.
