Chapter 33 Seeking Death on One's Own
Clark's uncle was actually Novaria’s Lord?
Chloe was terrified by this news, her face changing.
The Lord was the supreme authority of the entire city. No one could offend him.
Being the most influential family in Chicago, close to Novariak, Chloe's family had a great deal of power, but even they have to humble themselves before the Lord.
What would be the consequences of offending the Lord's nephew?
Even if she called her family, it would be useless!
“Now you know how formidable Captain Clark is?” Zachary looked at Chloe's frightened expression with disdain and said arrogantly, “You wanted to make a phone call, right? Go ahead, make it!”
“Thinking of finding someone to deal with me and Captain Clark? The Lord can crush you with just a finger!”
Ethan shook his head and smiled.
Coincidentally!
The person he was about to call was none other than Robert Torres, Novaria’s Lord!
Three years ago, Robert was just a Deputy Lord, responsible for attracting investment and the economic development Novaria. Within three years, he successfully rose up with Cloud Group’s help.
Cloud Group itself, along with its subsidiary investment projects, was Robert's most significant achievement in politics.
It can be said that without the company, Robert wouldn’t have succeeded.
In the current prosperous scene, Robert no longer holds the position of the city lord!
“Mr. Torres.” Ethan dialed Robert's phone, not even lowering his voice and smiling slightly. “There's a small matter, so could I please trouble you to come over?”
He briefly explained the matter and then hung up the phone.
“You called my uncle?” Clark almost laughed out loud when he heard him end the call. “Are you acting in front of me? You’re pretty good, and quite convincing!”
Indeed, it was quite ridiculous.
The position of the city lord was esteemed, and except for his relatives, ordinary people would never have his phone number. Calling him? It was utterly absurd to say the least.
Without exaggeration, in the whole of Novaria, the number of people qualified to have a direct conversation with the city lord wouldn’t exceed ten!
“You really made me laugh!” Zachary laughed heartily, almost shedding tears. “I thought you were going to call someone important, but it turns out to be Mr. Torres!”
“You're expecting him to speak up for you? Are you stupid? You must be dreaming!”
“Weren't you listening to what I just said? Mr. Torres is Captain Clark's uncle! If the city lord is supporting you, then I would kneel down and eat shit on the spot!”
Ethan nodded; his expression always very calm. “This proposal is not bad. If you want to eat shit, I can fulfill your wish.”
After speaking, he turned his head and smiled slightly at the pale-faced Chloe, softly saying, “Don't worry, Mr. Torres will be here shortly.”
Chloe wanted to speak but hesitated, sighing in her heart.
“It would be fine if Mr. Torres doesn't come, but if he does, things will become even more difficult! Which uncle wouldn't favor their own nephew?”
‘Oh, Ethan, you've really caused us a lot of trouble this time!’
Unbeknownst to them, time flew by quickly.
After about fifteen minutes, a sound of neat and powerful footsteps came from the corridor.
A middle-aged man walked in, assistant by a total of 20 elite bodyguards.
It was none other than the city lord of Novaria, Robert Torres!
“Uncle?!” Inside the office, Clark looked surprised and quickly went up to greet him. “Why are you here? I...”
His words got stuck in his throat.
Robert completely ignored Clark and walked past him directly, quickly heading toward Ethan sitting on the sofa.
As he walked, he extended his right hand with a smile. “Mr. Wilson, there was a bit of traffic on the way. Did I make you wait long?”
Ethan also stood up from the sofa and shook hands with Robert, smiling. “Mr. Torres, you're joking. Come, have a seat, let's talk.”
Afterward, they appeared like close friends, sitting down together.
As they were sitting on the sofa.
“Uncle.”
Clark was quite shocked, forcing a smile on his face as he walked up to Robert.
Just seconds ago, Robert had a smile on his face, but he then harshly slapped Clark in fury, “What the hell have you done? Do you even know who Mr. Wilson is?!”
“Now, apologize to Mr. Wilson in front of me, immediately!”
Clark covered his face, completely dumbfounded.
Not just Clark, but also Zachary, the secretary, as well as the security guards...
Even Chloe, standing next to Ethan.
Everyone stared in astonishment at Robert and Ethan, their minds unable to understand.
Mr. Torres actually slapped Clark in the face?
Moreover, he’s making him apologize on the spot?
It was unbelievable. He was Mr. Torres' nephew, after all!
“Uncle...”
Clark endured the pain on his face, constantly speculating about Ethan's identity as he gritted his teeth in frustration.
“Damn it!”
Just now, he deliberately sided with Zachary without verifying the truth before making an arrest.
Later, when Zachary showed interest in Chloe and wanted to sleep with her, he also along with it.
Deep down, he knew very well that what the security and the secretary said might not be true.
‘However, what about it?!’
Mr. Torres was his own uncle, and no matter how close his relationship with this Wilson guy was, he couldn't possibly help an outsider go against his own nephew!
“Uncle!”
Clark's heart suddenly hardened, gritting his teeth as he said, “He caused trouble and purposely harmed someone; it's a crime!”
“No matter who he is, if he commits a crime, I will arrest him! As a law enforcement officer, it's my duty, and I did nothing wrong!”
Then came an even harsher slap!
“You're foolish and confused!” Robert stared into Clark's eyes; his face full of rage. “You don't know Mr. Wilson's identity? Well, let me tell you!”
“He is Ethan, Cloud Group’s chairman! He came to inspect his subsidiary, and you call that provoking trouble? Disciplining his subordinate, and you call that causing harm? Tell me, which law did he break? Tell me!”
Word by word, like roaring thunder, it struck Captain Clark's mind.
It also struck everyone's hearts!
Zachary, the secretary, and the security guards...
Over a dozen pair of eyes stared at Ethan's face, as if they had encountered a fierce beast from ancient times, unable to withhold their shock.
Their legs went soft as they suddenly felt darkness before their eyes. Especially for Zachary, who felt a chilling sensation run down his spine and messing his brain up.
What?! He turned out to be the legendary, mysterious CEO of Cloud Group?!
This...How is it possible? It's over.
Everything was over!
This time, it wasn’t just a small mistake. It was like poking a hole in the sky!
A vice president of a subsidiary company, offending the company’s chairman and twisting the truth with malicious accusations.
Moreover, he even tried to sleep with the chairman’s woman?
It has even alarmed the city lord!
What was this?
This was called bringing trouble upon oneself and tying two bricks to your feet. Not even a deity could save him now!
“Mr. Wilson!” The more Zachary thought, the more frightened he became. Unable to bear it, his knees went weak and he knelt down with a thud, crying out loud.
“I've made a horrible mistake! Please spare me, Mr. Wilson!”
