Systematic bleeding resulting from the perforation of this artery is synonymous with certain death.

Doctors sutured Lincoln's internal wounds while giving him blood through an IV.

The hard part is over. Thank God the professor had a blood bag of the same type as the boy. His blood is indeed rare. No one in his family has it.

In Venom's office.

Drink the world straight from a cognac bottle. He's already calmed down, thanks to the liquor.

"This changed all my plans. I didn't have time for a full blood test. Who knows what effects it might have on Lincoln?"

Back to the hospital.

The doctors had already finished treating Lincoln after three hours. The louds learned he had been attacked while leaving work.

The younger sisters were sent home with Lori, in the care of their grandparents. Meanwhile, the elderly and their parents stayed behind to take care of him.

It was one o'clock in the morning.

Lincoln was using a ventilator. When he suddenly started convulsing.

Alarm sirens sounded, and doctors rushed to help him.

"What happens to my son?" Mr. Loud asked.

One of the doctors reassured him, assuring him that everyone who worked there were professionals who knew how to act in these situations.

Meanwhile, doctors took care of Lincoln.

"He's having a heart attack!!! Hurry! Use the defibrillator!"

Doctors placed some patches on Lincoln's chest connected to a machine.

Burden!

The machine downloaded. But the screen kept showing a horizontal line.

"Again. Burden!!!"

Lincoln's body spasmed again, but the machine still didn't respond.

"Come on, come on, come on, turn the power up. Burden!!!"

With the last spasm caused by the machine's shocks, Lincoln's heart started working again.

The doctor leaned against the wall, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Damn. It was close."

After that, doctors reported that Lincoln was out of danger, which was a great relief to his family.

After that, Lincoln was under observation.

At that time, Venomus told him that he wouldn't have to fight for long. In his despair, the owner of Tekno-Moro Inc. stated that he wasn't the only one who cheated in his battles. He provided a list of the names of the association's members. Therefore, a large-scale investigation was opened to search for these alleged perpetrators.

Therefore, all battles will be suspended indefinitely.

It has already been a week since that incident.

Lisa was working at Venomus Industries, analyzing a blood sample that had recently been taken from Lincoln.

"I don't understand. You said the blood would activate regenerative powers. Why hasn't my brother regained his sight yet?"

"As I told you, empowerment is a selective substance. Apparently his priority at the time was to help heal your brother's damaged organs," Venom, who was working on his computer, replied. The man zooms in on his computer, focusing on the artery. "What you're seeing here is your brother's aorta, thanks to the nanobots I injected into him yesterday. You see, there was a small tear in it, which was eventually going to get your brother into trouble."

"Not only that. The bullet was made of an alloy of lead and mercury. The new antibodies in the blood were responsible for destroying the toxins. Among all that, I think it was a wise choice."

"If you put it that way, it makes sense. Although I was hoping my brother would regain his sight"

"Well. That's not all it did."

"What do you mean by that?"

"My nanobots did a full scan of your brother and found out."

Venom gives Lisa a piece of paper. The girl, upon reading it, could not hide her astonishment.

Finally, Lincoln returned home. Doctors have not yet explained how he was able to heal his wounds in such a short time.

For his return, his family throws a party with the help of Clyde, Andy, and McBride.

However, Lori was absent. Well, the girl went out partying again the night before, and now she's asleep in bed with a hangover.

The party has started. Meanwhile, Andy and Clyde talk to Lincoln.

"Dude. You don't know what it was like for Clyde to find out you'd been shot."

"Don't overdo it, Andy. I'm just worried about my friend."

"He started crying. He said, 'Why? Why, my brother, take me in his place! It was hilerious.'"

"Awww. That's very nice of you, Clyde."

At that moment, Howard approached the boys.

"Guys. Come on, let's cut the cake."

"Okay, dad," Clyde and Andy said at the same time.

Which puzzled Lincoln, "Andy. Did you just say Dad to Mr. McBride?"

"Oh, I didn't tell you. Clyde's parents adopted me."

"What!?"

"Yes. It's true. While you were in the hospital, I followed Andy home to return his helmet. It turns out he lived in an abandoned apartment complex. From the gang side."

"What? Really? Now that I think about it, we've never seen what your house looks like, Andy."

"I told my parents. They felt bad for him. Because he was still a minor, they asked him if he wanted to be adopted, and he agreed."

Andy puts his arm around Clyde's shoulder. "That's how it is. From now on, I'm Andy Gervin McBride."

"Wow, that's great. I remember you always wanting to have a brother."

"Yes. And that's great. Especially since I'm the big brother."

"Only three months older; don't think too much."

"Ha-ha-ha. As you say, younger brother."

"Stop, damn it!"

Clyde and Lincoln laughed a little, then Andy followed them.

"Come now. Let's stop the jokes and go eat. How about a slice of that cake?"

In the dining room, Loud and McBride ate the cake that Mr. Loud had prepared. As Leni passed behind Lincoln, she noticed something on his neck.

"Nice tattoo, Linky."

"What?" Lincoln asked.

"What!? Another tattoo!?" Rita dropped her piece of cake, which Lola caught, and ran to her son.

The rest of Lincoln's family and friends came to see the tattoo. This was a small star located below the neck.

"Lincoln Marie Loud. Got tattoos again? What's next? Body modifications?"
