Alex remained calm as he swept his gaze over the bodyguards. He said, "You should think about it, too. Those who go against me will end up groveling at my feet."

"Grovel at your feet?" Desmond scoffed and raised his chin in disdain. "Come on. Let's see how you'll make me get down on my knees today!"

The crowd gasped at Desmond's words. Everyone thought Alex would pay the price for talking back to

him.

However, Alex frowned when he saw a black gust of air surrounding Desmond's forehead. Something bad is about to happen to him, he thought.

A tiny smile lit his face as he uttered, "Kid, something bad is coming your way. I believe misfortune will befall you today. If you get on your knees now, I might consider saving you. Otherwise, you'll be dead by nightfall."

He had learned some geomancy skills from the Nine Heaven Scrolls, so he could help Desmond out if the young man agreed to get on his knees.

"Damn it, did you just curse me? Beat him up!" Desmond bellowed angrily. His bodyguards immediately obeyed his orders and approached Alex.

Vroom!

Just then, a car on the road suddenly lost control and failed to stop at the zebra crossing. A few street vendors yelled in shock and hurriedly escaped."

Desmond was practically standing right next to the zebra crossing, so the car was hurtling towards him. Stunned, he stood rooted to the spot as he stared at the incoming car blankly.

"Ahh!" Even Jessica couldn't stop herself from screaming as she covered her mouth in horror.

The bodyguards hurriedly ran out of the car's way. Desmond's safety was the last thing on their minds.

At this critical moment, Alex took action.

He hated Desmond, but he couldn't just watch someone die before him without acting.

He grabbed Desmond's hand. With a forceful tug, the young man was pulled out of the car's way when the car was mere inches away from him.

The car rammed into a store ahead before it finally stopped.

As Alex had managed to save Desmond at the very last minute, the crowd couldn't help but praise his bravery.

At this moment, a gorgeous lady stepped out of the car. She was strikingly beautiful, but she was obviously distressed and terrified by the accident. "Autumn? Hey, did you know you nearly killed me?" Desmond was stunned to see the gorgeous lady and hurriedly went up to her.

He never thought the person who had nearly killed him would be none other than his cousin, Autumn-

Autumn couldn't believe she had nearly run into her cousin. She immediately heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing a safe Desmond.

She took a long and deep breath while thinking, Luckily nothing happened to him. Otherwise, I'll be doomed.

"I lost control of my car," Autumn explained.

She hurried over to Alex and thanked him profusely. "Thank you for your help, Sir. If it wasn't for you, my cousin would've been dead by now."

She had witnessed how Alex pulled Desmond out of her way in the nick of time. If he hadn't done that, she would've hit Desmond right away. Alex glanced at Autumn before turning to Desmond. He mocked, "Kid, don't forget you owe me your life."
