My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1683: Something Happened!

Bei Daohai, holding the "Bloody Mary" in his hand, lay on the expensive leather sofa with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, enjoying the taste of being a victor.

This feeling he could often savor, because he had never lost.

Single-handedly, he transformed Beidao Guang from an obscure small family into a powerful clan that would cause Huaxia to catch a cold with just a sneeze, never relying on pandering or seeking protection from others or major forces.

He always relied on himself, on strategic planning and a bit of luck, believing that for those living in this world, success requires several crucial factors.

One is perseverance; everyone knows the path to success is hard, and walking it requires immense determination to see the light at the end, which is understood by the masses, but very few manage to persevere through the entire journey.

These people have undoubtedly become individuals who can influence the course of this world.

The second is awareness, the sense for opportunities. Success does require a bit of luck, and he remembered reading it in a book written by a mortal.

A great man who laid the foundations of modern technological advancements once said: success consists of ninety-nine percent effort plus one percent luck, but that one percent of luck is even more crucial than the ninety-nine percent of effort.

Though it is said that way, Bei Daohai knew deep down, everyone encounters countless fortunes in life. Luck won’t always overlook you, but most people, in their mundane lives, perfectly avoid the bullets delivered by luck.

So awareness, the grasp of opportunities and luck, is the most crucial point of success.

This is what Bei Daohai prided himself on most. He understood that his ability to topple Sky Net was not through himself, nor through his Beidao Alliance; ultimately, he relied on the power from the Great Sound Buddha Sect.

He borrowed the strength of the Great Sound Buddha Sect to completely eliminate Sky Net from this world, removing the biggest obstacle blocking his way and throwing it into the garbage bin of history.

This is the rule, the world’s rule.

No one is a genius, and everyone must operate within the circle drawn by this rule. To step out of this circle is to defy the rule, and no one who defies this rule ends well.

Sky Net wanted to jump out of this circle, and in a certain sense, they nearly succeeded. At one point, Bei Daohai even doubted his long-held beliefs until the news of Xiao Zheng’s death reached him.

Only then did he understand that Sky Net, or rather Xiao Zheng, intended not only to jump out of this circle to play the game. They wanted to draw a new circle outside, forcing those inside to jump into their self-drawn circle.

They wanted to shatter the world’s long-standing operational rules and reset the game.

Once Bei Daohai understood this point, he knew, whether it was Sky Net or Xiao Zheng, their eventual fate could be summed up in four words.

Their days are numbered.

It wasn’t him who personally sent Xiao Zheng to Nirvana, and this left Bei Daohai somewhat regretful. But to fill this regret, he wouldn’t mind personally sending the power Xiao Zheng created to Nirvana.

He wanted to let other arrogant individuals in the world know that the rules of this world are absolute, unbreakable by anyone. People are born within the circle and can only live within that circle for their entire lives.

His goal in the showdown with Sky Net and Xiao Zheng was less about the transactions and connections with the West and more about the clash of two worldviews.

If you wish to break this circle, if you want to redraw the established classes, you must at least possess the power to defeat all higher classes. Without it, you would be crushed by the rolling historical wheels and then tossed into an unseen corner by a forgetful world.

To slowly decay!

It’s unwise, he couldn’t understand why a clever person like Xiao Zheng would attempt such an outrageously foolish act. It was too ridiculous to think one could fight against the world alone.

Who did he think he was?

A god?

He smirked with disdain. If possible, he truly wished to see Xiao Zheng’s face at the moment Sky Net perished, when all his efforts turned futile, revealing a face of resentment and powerlessness.

That would certainly be spectacular.

He thought to himself, the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth becoming more apparent, shaking the wine glass in his hand before slowly taking a sip.

"Good wine."

He stated blandly.

Beep...

The earpiece thrown aside suddenly emitted a calling sound, and he glanced at it, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Tian Yin... what does he want with me at this time?

A flash of confusion and sharpness flickered in Bei Daohai’s eyes.

From the moment Sky Net was eliminated, the alliance relationship between the entire Beidao Alliance and the Great Sound Buddha Sect would begin to become somewhat subtle, which is an unchangeable fact.

In this world, there’s no friendship or mutual understanding between powers; every force pursues the greatest interest for itself.

Now, the greatest interest between Beidao Alliance and the Great Sound Buddha Sect is to eliminate Sky Net, but what happens once Sky Net, the common enemy, disappears?

All this will start to become ambiguous.

He gently weighed the communication earpiece in his hand, his gaze flickering with hesitation.

He couldn’t guess what Tian Yin wanted to say now, but he was sure the Great Sound Buddha Sect was not coming to congratulate him, nor did he think Tian Yin would seek a confrontation with him right after Sky Net’s elimination.

Even if future interests between the Great Sound Buddha Sect and Beidao Guang were to conflict, now isn’t the time...

Though Sky Net has been vanquished, their possessions are what they ultimately want. Since these interests haven’t been fully digested or allocated, is the Great Sound Buddha Sect already impatient?

They couldn’t be that unwise, Bei Daohai believed.

So, Tian Yin’s purpose for seeking him must be something else.

After a brief thought, a notion he didn’t want to believe suddenly flashed through his mind...

His expression instantly became somber, the hint of pride he’d felt was forcibly suppressed by him, followed by a deep breath before pressing the call button.

The voice in the earpiece also carried a hint of seriousness, yet unlike him, it bore a tinge of coldness.

"There’s been an incident."

Crack!

The crystal glass in Bei Daohai’s hand shattered on the ground, but he had no interest in the expensive glass or the costly red wine contained within.

He abruptly stood up.
