Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 269: The Secret

Zahl’s body was swiftly dealt with, yet no one in the Windsor Family made any attempt to conceal his death—nor could they. It was only a matter of time before the Saint-Spear Family came down with fury and judgment.

The members of the Windsor Family were caught in a whirlwind of emotions. Despite the engagement between the two families, they had never liked the Saint-Spear Family. The arrogance of that draconic bloodline was infamous.

Even in decline, the Windsors were still a prestigious magical house, yet the Saint-Spear Family had always acted like they were superior in all things.

Now that Zahl had been killed by Qin Xian, they felt uneasy—but also deeply satisfied.

After all, the Saint-Spear Family’s retribution would be directed at Qin Xian, not the Windsors… or so they hoped.

Still, everyone was now even more intrigued by the mysterious “Soren.” Not only had he instantly killed Zahl, but he also showed no fear toward the Saint-Spear Family at all. His origins must be astoundingly powerful.

Lia, especially, looked at Qin Xian with blazing admiration. In her eyes, he had killed Zahl for her.

Anthony, the family patriarch, observed Qin Xian deeply. He could tell this “Soren” was far more than he appeared. Yet by the standards of Hydra’s world, someone who wielded such pure and divine Holy Light couldn’t be evil.

So he didn’t grow suspicious—only more cautious.

He sighed, “The Saint-Spear Family will come. I’ll reach out to Lord Rosha. Perhaps… he can mediate this matter.”

One had to admit—Anthony was a man of principle. Even now, he believed the blame wasn’t entirely on Qin Xian. As Windsor’s guest, his safety and dignity should have been protected. And it was the family’s oversight that allowed Zahl to arrive unchallenged.

Anthony planned to ask the Hero Rosha to intercede—and he was prepared to pay the price for it.

Given the strong alliance between Rosha and the Windsor Family, he had reason to believe Rosha would help.

And Qin Xian himself was clearly a future powerhouse, someone who could become a pillar against the Void. Rosha, who strove to unite all such forces, would certainly want to protect him.

So, just like that, the drama of Zahl’s death was brushed aside—or at least appeared to be.

Soon after, they made their way to the Origin Domain—the Windsor Family’s most guarded secret realm. Its entrance lay deep within the forest surrounding the castle.

At the edge of the ancient woodland, a towering mountain range stood wreathed in mist. Its silhouette against the morning light was like a gateway to another world.

Anthony stepped forward, his body aglow with starlight. The stars shimmered around him like a cosmic river, each twinkling speck whispering secrets older than time.

Then—glyphs ignited in the sky above the forest.

As their rhythm pulsed faster and faster, the very earth began to tremble. The stars overhead seemed to respond to a celestial call, their lights intensifying.

Suddenly, a radiant beam of light burst from an ancient monolith, piercing the sky and forming a shimmering pillar of energy. Within that beam, a gateway slowly unfolded, surrounded by halos of iridescent light.

On the other side lay a mysterious, luminous world—the Origin Domain.

“That’s the Windsor Family’s Origin Domain,” Lia explained, her voice full of excitement. “Every direct descendant gets to enter once and receive the Origin’s Blessing. You’re only the second outsider ever allowed inside!”

Qin Xian raised an eyebrow. “The second? Who was the first?”

“The Hero Rosha, of course!”

Lia’s eyes sparkled with admiration. “Back then, Lord Rosha was just a wandering knight. He somehow snuck into the Origin Domain using a special artifact—and was blessed by the World’s Origin.”

“But instead of punishing him, our family chose to support him, offering resources and friendship. That’s how the Windsor Family and Lord Rosha forged their deep alliance.”

Qin Xian’s expression shifted slightly.

Interesting.

The Windsor Family truly had vision. Had it been a house like the Saint-Spear Family, Rosha would’ve been killed without hesitation. But the Windsors chose to befriend greatness—and in doing so, helped shape Hydra’s savior.

And now, they were clearly seeing him as the next Rosha—a potential investment in a rising legend.

Qin Xian squinted toward the glowing gate. So you’re betting on me now, are you?

But he didn’t mind. After all, he had his own reasons for coming.

All he wanted…

…was to uncover the secrets of Hydra’s World Origin.
