Chapter 2735

Howie laughed and said, “Haha, brat, three minutes is up, so why am I still sitting here in one piece?

Young man, don’t brag if you don’t have what it takes…”

But, before Howie finished speaking, a subordinate ran from the stairs behind him and shouted,

“Patriarch, something has happened! We just received a call that the house has been seized! A team of

investigators has shown up!”

“What?!”

Hearing that, Howie jumped up in agitation and asked, “What are you talking about? Who dares to

investigate the Stark family?”

The subordinate quickly said, “Patriarch, I’m not sure either. According to the news, the second master

and the young master as well as all the members of the Stark family have been taken away. All the

businesses under the Stark family have been ordered to suspend operations due to pending

investigation! All the stocks and some properties under your name have also been frozen!”

Boom!

These words struck Howie like a thunderbolt!

Howie staggered and nearly fell from the high stands. He said in shock, “How did this happen?

Impossible!”

At this time, Ethan said indifferently, “Patriarch Stark, do you want to change your name? Maybe I can

let you go then.”

Hearing this, Howie immediately turned around. He stared at Ethan in shock and resentment, then

roared, “Is it you? Did you do this?”

Ethan shrugged and admitted, “Yes, I did it.”

Hearing this, Howie was furious but dared not do anything.

The other party could do this to the Stark family with just one phone call, which was enough to show

that the strength behind Ethan Clarke was not simple. Hence, Howie looked at Ernest and said, “Villa

Master Turner, you have to save the Stark family. I…”

However, Ernest frowned and said, “Patriarch Stark, blame it on your mouth. Since you messed up,

find a way to solve it yourself.”

He was washing his hands off this matter. Ernest knew Ethan’s identity very well. The second young

master of the Clarke family was no small fry. He did not want to have other conflicts with the Clarke

family right now. Otherwise, if the Clarke family got angry, Ernest would go to hell with just one word

from them.

Howie never expected Ernest to abandon him. In desperation, he knelt in front of Ethan with a thud and

said, “Y-Young Master Clarke, I’m sorry. I said something I shouldn’t have said. Please spare me and

the Stark family. I was wrong!”

With that said, Howie bowed in apology.

The commotion here also caught the attention of the nearby spectators who started talking about it.

“Gosh, isn’t that Howie Stark, the head of the Stark family? Why is he kneeling in front of Ethan

Clarke?”

“Unbelievable! It seems that Ethan Clarke is not a simple person. Even Howie has to kneel before him.”

On the other side of the high stands, Hannah looked in Ethan’s direction and said with a smile, “Ethan

is still so playful.”

Lilo took a glance, crossed her arms, and said angrily, “Hmph! He’s just a wealthy young master who

relies on his family’s wealth and power. I hate this kind of person the most!”

Hannah smiled and said, “ Lilo, I think you and Ethan are a good match.”

Hearing that, Lilo jumped in anger.

On this side, everyone’s eyes returned to the competition stage because Philip had already stood up at

this moment.

On this side, everyone’s eyes returned to the competition stage because Philip had already stood up at

this moment. He brushed his chest, looked at Stanley coldly, and suddenly asked, “Back then, did my

mother’s incident have anything to do with the Nonagon and your Berry family?”

Hearing this, Stanley frowned with a trace of fear in his heart.

He thought of the taboo of the Berry family and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. If you

want to know something, let’s talk after you defeat me!”

Hearing this, Philip frowned and said with a sigh, “In that case, let’s fight!”
