I quickly pulled her up and had her sit beside me. "I’m his daughter," I said. I don’t even know why I told her that.

She was stunned and looked at me in disbelief. She wiped away my tears instinctively.

Then, she solemnly assured me, "I’ll tell my brother to save him so he can see you."

I embraced the girl. She was truly my lucky star, and I would surely be able to find my father with the siblings’s help.

From Anya's words, I could deduce that my father's mind was still clear.

We chatted for a while before Atlas finished talking to Loak and returned to our side. Then, he had Cane escort them back.

I saw Anya casting reluctant glances at me. Her smile was beautiful and had an exotic charm.

I kept watching them until they disappeared from my sight. Atlas said to me indulgently, "I've arranged for them to learn our language. When she can communicate with you, you can take her back to Pleca Park."

"Really?" I exclaimed, feeling like I had obtained a precious treasure. "How did you think of the same thing I did?"

When he saw that I was finally happy, he gave me a wicked smile, leaned in, and asked, "So, how will you reward me?"

"I’ll reward you... by giving you a chance to take me for a tour of the storage area," I said immediately.

He kissed me passionately, then drove me around the storage area as promised, showing me every corner. I was surprised as this place exceeded my expectations. He even pointed to a mountain and said mysteriously, "They’re building the world's largest secret base there."

"What is it for?" I asked curiously.

In the car, I told Atlas, "Anya said she met my father. He told her he had a daughter... and his daughter is very beautiful."

I started choking up, "I can tell that my dad’s mind is clear.”

He rubbed my head, "But he has always pretended to be crazy. Loak confirmed that too. Fortunately, Loak didn't mistreat him when he was looking after him."

"Can we trust what he says?" I asked Atlas.

Atlas thought for a moment and nodded, "I think so. He wouldn't dare to lie to us right now. And he hates Navi. After all, he saw Navi kill his father with his own eyes. Once the seed of hatred is planted, it will take root and grow." 

Atlas glanced at me, very sure of himself. "They'll naturally align with Navi's enemies and see them as their allies."

"Does that mean he won't harm my dad?" I asked.

Atlas nodded decisively, "Yes."

"Did he say anything else? Where are they taking my dad now?" I asked urgently.

Atlas remained silent and shook his head, "He doesn't know that. After all, he was just a slave to Navi. He can't possibly know that."

"Do you believe him?" I expressed some doubt.

"He's asking for permission to go back and investigate," Atlas told me.

That surprised me. It seemed like a good idea. "When does he plan to go?"

"I didn't agree to it," Atlas said firmly. "It's too dangerous for him. We'll wait for news from the Huffman family. If necessary, we'll go back with Loak. That way, everyone will be safe." 

I wanted to object, but Atlas was right. I couldn't be selfish. Loak's life was not a trivial matter.

But every day that passed would mean more danger for my dad.

When he saw me keeping silent, Atlas grabbed my hand. "As soon as the Huffman family decides where they're going to take him, our people can set off. And considering the current situation, taking things slow might not be a bad idea." 

His words left me speechless, but what I feared most was an unforeseen accident.
