They were living in a lawless place, so there are inevitably sunderhanded actions." "Did you know they're from the Huffman family?" I asked Atlas ahead.
"At first, I didn't know. I asked them questions and guessed," Atlas said.
"What questions?" I asked.
He glanced back atand smiled faintly, "Related to Navi." It seemed that when he got out of the car, he tested them by speaking Cirencester's language to them.

I didn't know how far we had walked when someone cover and whispered, "Sir, they're coming soon." "Then let's rest here for a while," Atlas said to everyone.
