THE EYE OF THE HIDDEN VALLEY

Meanwhile, Lily's training in the afternoon was for the dance sports competition, and Solaris was her dance partner. Solaris was suspected to be more than he appeared, his innocent smile hiding something more. Following a meeting the previous night, Leeroy, Lily’s close-in bodyguard, was tasked with being vigilant and watching Solaris’s every move while Goldie and Rockie followed Solaris around the clock. Earlier, Mushu had been notified of Solaris’s arrival. With his subordinates' help in distracting Solaris’s driver, he managed to place several trackers on Solaris’s car.

As the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting long shadows across the courtyard, Lily slipped away to change into her dance training outfit. She moved with graceful ease, her excitement for the upcoming session evident in the spring of her step and the sparkle in her eyes. Leeroy followed her, his protective instincts kicking in as he watched her every move, his expression a mask of calm vigilance.
