Mario held Logan's hand, his voice shaking. "Grandpa was once a 28-star Legend. He was just one step away from becoming a Saint, but that attack left me badly injured and I dropped to 22 stars."
"For all these years, I stayed in this broken old house, thinking the Latio family was gone for good. I never thought... I never thought I'd see you again!"
Hearing this, Logan stayed silent.
His twin bones began to resonate. The Yepera bone and the Black Dragon bone both heated up.
Now everything made sense.
Logan was actually the direct heir of the Latio family, one of the thirteen Golden Families of Pinocchini.
"Child, you've suffered a lot over the years," Mario said, touching Logan's face. "I thought you were dead. I never thought I'd see you again."
Logan took a deep breath and knelt on one knee. "Grandpa, I am Logan Latio. I've come back to visit you."
"Good! Good! Good!" Mario was so excited he nodded repeatedly. He helped Logan up. "The Latio family finally has a successor!"
