Have you tried to await the call to consumeApi? Because this is async your view is potentially returned before the call completes

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
var response = await ConsumeApi(2);
return Json(response);

I changed your response to json so you could inspect the respons in the browser when you call your method.
