Hi

He's a bad man and he would make you his slave if you passed his way.

--- What does "pass his way" mean here? stand in his way?
 
If you happened to just walk by his side.
If you happened to just meet him.
As soon as he saw you.

It's obviously a hyperbole (exaggeration) to stress his (bad) character.

If you went anywhere near him.
If you were anywhere in his vicinity.
