Damian glanced at Autumn without any change in his expression. “There’s a large amount of negative energy in the Jones family. I used a powerful geomancy skill to force the energy away. As the head of the family, Stefan naturally took the brunt of it. The negative energy gone the moment he spits out the blood. The Jones family is now free of their bad luck.”
Stefan climbed weakly to his feet as he murmured, “Thank you so much, Mr. Kline. I am deeply grateful for your help.”
It was true that he felt immensely better after coughing out the blood.
He was not the only one; the other Joneses had felt a change in their bodies as well, and they swiftly thanked Damian.
In an instant, Damian was revered by the entire Jones family. On the other hand, they looked at Alex in disdain.
“Dad, let’s take a seat over there.” Autumn helped her father to the side.
Right then, Desmond turned toward Alex and provoked, “Fraud, what now? What Mr. Kline has done is true geomancy. Hurry up and return our money now, you fraud.”
The corner of Alex’s mouth twitched as he scoffed, “I can return the money to you, but I’m afraid that Stefan won’t have the time to spend it anymore.”
“What?” Stefan whipped his head toward him in shock.
Alex glanced at him before asking, “Look at your palm. Is there a red line?”
With a pale face, Stefan turned his hands over and froze.
Alex was right, there was a faint red line on his palms.
The red line started from the middle of his palm, where the lifeline was, and extended all the way to his arm.
Stefan shouted, “What is this? I didn’t have this earlier!”
Alex explained in a cold tone, “That is your lifeline. It corresponds to the divine light on your forehead. The negative energy that surrounded the Jones family was powerful. The way Damian resolved it was by using your life. Now that he’s cut away the divine light on your forehead, your lifeline is revealed. In three days, the red line will reach your elbow. When it does, you’ll be dead. You’ve used the good karma you’ve accumulated throughout your life in exchange for the Jones family to continue living.”

She fell to her knees in a loud thud and pleaded, “Mr. Kline, please. Please save my dad!”
A proud look was on Damian’s face as he sneered, “There’s no use crying over spilled milk. I can’t possibly undo this. You should be thanking me for using Stefan’s life to save the rest of your lives.”
Autumn’s face paled as regret wrapped itself around her heart.
Similarly, Stefan’s face was ashen, and he looked like he was in despair.
The rest of the Jones family members all had grave and sorrowful expressions.
The head of the family had sacrificed himself in exchange for the rest of their lives. The Joneses were upset, but they were also grateful.
However, Autumn did not want her father to die. She bit down hard on her lower lip and hesitated before begging, “Mr. Jefferson, please. Please save my dad…”
Alex glanced at her before muttering, “Since the Jones family has decided to believe in Damian, I’m no longer involved in this matter. Tell me your account number. I’ll return the money to you now.”
Alex did not want to help a family who insisted on digging their own grave.
Autumn’s eyes reddened as she ground out, “If you can save my dad, I’ll agree to any requests you have. I’ll even sleep with you.”
She decided to go all out for the sake of saving her father.
If Alex were capable of knowing what Damian had done in a glance, Autumn was sure that he would have a way to save her father.
Alex chuckled, “I’m not interested in your body.”
Autumn paled further, feeling embarrassed.
She was the daughter of the Jones family. Not only was she one of the prettiest women in Nebula City, but she was also talented. She had not expected Alex to humiliate her in this
way.
Right then, Stefan ran over and cried out, “Mr. Jefferson, I was fooled! Desmond was the one who had put a spell over me!”

As he spoke, he pulled Desmond over and started slapping the other man.
