Inside the car, the boys were traveling tightly. Since Andy and Chandler's gang were sitting in the back together, despite the fact that there were few boys, most of them crowded behind Clyde's seat because they were afraid to be behind Lincoln. Except Andy.
"Hey, Lincoln. How do you feel?" The orange-haired man asked.
"I'm fine, Andy... It's just…" Lincoln's stomach gave a growl that could be heard even behind the car. "I am hungry"
"You can eat at my house. After you take a shower and bandage your wounds," Clyde hurried towards his house.
In the meantime, on a road next to a river where a large sewer pipe was blocked off with a grate, a man wearing a suit was found with three larger men who could have been his bodyguards. It seemed like this person had been waiting. The man looked visibly upset.
"Where are these trio of incompetents? A week ago, they told me that by today at this time, they would have the merchandise. How hard can it be to bring in three teenage girls?" Suddenly, the men turn towards the sewers at the loud sound of it. "What the hell?" Before finishing, the fence is torn from its place, decapitating the men in the process.
Hideki comes out of the tube. The boy was very hurt, but also very happy.
"My lord, that was amazing! The time has truly come when all your divine power will appear before the eyes of mortals!!!
-Back to Clyde's house-
The boys looked at Lincoln in amazement. The boy had bandages on his cheek, chin, forehead, nose, and eyebrow. But that wasn't what surprised them. What surprised them was the way he ate.
On the table was a large pile of dirty dishes, and Lincoln was sitting in front of it, eating a chicken leg in one hand and a potato in the other.
"Hmm. This is delicious. Hey Clyde, can you get some more?"
"Er... sure, Link" Clyde said, entering the kitchen while Lincoln was still eating.
For his part, Andy looked at him with a cold expression. "Even the raw potatoes were eaten. This guy looks like a termite."
"Hey. Don't you think it's bad for you to eat so much?" Troy asked
"Isn't that normal? After a fight like that, I get really hungry afterwards," Lincoln replied with his mouth full.
"Swallow first and then speak, pig."
Clyde arrives with a tray of baked piglet with vegetables. "Here you go, Lincoln."
"Thanks, Clyde." Lincoln salivated as he smelled the delicious dish and began to eat.
The boys were amazed when the animal disappeared from the plate in thirty seconds.
"He... he... ate a roasted pig... in thirty seconds!" Chandler couldn't believe his eyes.
Lincoln loosens his belt and relaxes in the chair. "Ugh... I'm full."
"How could you not be? You swallowed almost all the food in the house," Andy scolds Lincoln.
"Sorry"
"Don't worry, Lincoln. It's the least I can do for my friend. Although I'll have to explain a lot of things to my parents"
"No, nothing like that. Take it, buddy." Lincoln puts his hand in his pants pocket and places a wad of money on the table. "You can buy more food. If you want, I will go with you."
"Where did you get this much money?" Troy asked.
"I work for Professor Venomous. I'm... his assistant."
"Wow, thank you, Link. Now for you." Clyde watches the men from Chandler's gang.
-Next day at school-
Students were in the hallways when televisions hanging from the ceiling in the hallways turned on for school news. In this, you can see the news collection as in professional newscasts. Complete with a desk, sitting at the table was Clyde.
"Good morning, Royal Woods High School. This is Clyde Luther McBride with today's news."
"On today's menu, the cafeteria will serve chicken nuggets, French bread pizza, turkey sandwiches, and spaghetti with meatball sauce."
"Physical education classes have been suspended indefinitely."
"New members of the clubs will be announced."
"All that and more are below. But first, it's time. the Truth Report With McBride!"
"Oh great. I love the truth report with McBride. I love the way he revealed the person who stole the toilet paper from the bathrooms," said one student who was watching the report.
"On this day on Truth Report With McBride, we will expose the biggest lie ever told here and perpetrated by everyone."
"Nearly three years ago, a boy left our town. Since then, much has been said about him. I'm talking about Lincoln Marie Loud, considered by many to be the most dangerous boy in town. But. What will you say if I tell you that was all a lie? To clear it all up, we have Lincoln Loud himself as a guest"
Lincoln was sitting next to Clyde.
"Lincoln, can you tell our audience what happened three years ago and why you left Royal Woods?"
Lincoln was frustrated and hesitant to answer.
"Lincoln. Don't hesitate anymore. I know you don't care what others think, but it's time for them to know the truth. You've already endured so much for others. Let others help you now."
Lincoln sighed and looked at Clyde with a smile. Although the boy could not see and his eyes were hidden behind his hair, they showed great determination. This is where his story began.
"Three years ago, on the first day of a wonderful winter vacation, I was heading out into the backyard to use my new snow sled. My sister Lynn had broken the other one on a trip to the beach when"
Lincoln paused in his narration, which took on a sad tone. After another sigh and another drink of water,
"It's no secret that my house wasn't the best cared for or the most structurally stable. But we liked it that way. Until that day."
