Mathis stood in front of the bathroom mirror, the steady hum of running water blending with the rhythmic brushing of his teeth. The soft towel wrapped around his body felt comforting and warm. A faint knock on the door jolted him from his routine. He hesitated for a moment before opening it, revealing Bree on the other side.

Bree's gaze swept over him, her sly grin betraying a mix of admiration and curiosity. "You're in good shape, Mathis," she remarked, her eyes lingering on the evidence of his past battles. "But I can tell you've had your share of fights."

She wore a pair of form-fitting black pants that accentuated her curves and a snug blouse that highlighted her graceful contours. Her smile was playful, her eyes glinting with a touch of flirtation. Her hair was neatly pulled back into a tight ponytail.

"I'm just getting dressed, Bree," Mathis said with a smile, his gaze briefly lingering on her.

"Don't bother for my sake," she replied, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

Mathis returned her smile and disappeared into the bathroom to finish getting ready. A short while later, they were in Bree's car, weaving through the bustling traffic toward the university. Mathis's mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Eva and the possibility of her being a double agent or under manipulation. The thought gnawed at him.

Bree broke the silence. "I dug into Tobias Fischer's background," she said, glancing at Mathis. "Nothing stands out. He seems unremarkable."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKPpQMRttm
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHuBF7yrkt
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oq9JzEsI9
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENy6XDhDmL
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFk9coc79z
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDSFXCa1B3
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvvZqhQMAK
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPRqZSw3Kc
They arrived at the university, and Bree approached the front desk, greeted by a friendly young lady. "Hello, we're looking for Mr. Tobias Fischer," Bree said.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGrVaOFxk3
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gPADMkhQN
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgf3k4JvmG
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHklCSKL6Lu
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfqKEI3Ngn
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTwx5THnBJ
Returning to Mathis, Bree leaned against a window in the great hall. "Mr. Fischer's not available now. You can wait in the car and follow him. I need to head back to the office; my presence might raise suspicions. We're working for the same cause, but discretion is key."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWGGvdfyRu
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdRkt2qdQD
Mathis nodded, a touch of wariness in his eyes. "Understood. I'll follow him and see what he's up to. But we need answers, and we need them quickly."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALHQOFPz4O
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqsszGJv9h
Bree handed over her car keys and left. Mathis examined the photographs on the university walls, noting the prominent figures alongside Mr. Fischer. The scope of his connections was becoming clearer, and caution was paramount. As he headed back to the car, he spotted Mr. Sha—the broad-shouldered man from Nice. Mathis's instincts sharpened, and he stayed hidden, watching Mr. Sha with growing suspicion.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ASCkifh1G
Night fell after an exhausting day of surveillance. Mathis sat in contemplation, replaying the day's events in his mind. He had witnessed a tense dinner between Mr. Fischer and Mr. Sha, but the crucial details had eluded him. Bree arrived, breaking his reverie.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxrwS1MJAO
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn4X9JQa62
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJcf56tAcb
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtDMC9oiIc
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPXbIeUsx1
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbbOFUDvIJ
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0dlpb5ib4
Mathis recounted the day's events. "I tracked Mr. Sha's movements. He was in constant contact with Mr. Fischer. Their dinner was tense, but I couldn't catch the details. Sha is affiliated with the Shadow Front—he's an enforcer for the organization. I got some photos of him."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbA3uZtCBt
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0CkZjABKw
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN9ncwBb3L
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERlgllB7yj
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3CJva5fRs
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQls5wzLOgM
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTWfdKRqWP
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWzaQ4Hb9r
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCm4qEY9cM
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Zxy0bZht
They approached Fischer's house, and Mathis knocked on the door. When it opened, he swiftly subdued Tobias with Bree's assistance, binding his hands. Fischer's fear was evident as he sat trembling in the chair.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhfWKEVbU9
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3uog3c7Dg
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgGiBAWCQX
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VSTX2ZXiq
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnEsoSPiwj
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ5KvgROcS
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpRaZOWGj0
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxceXxpzAh
Mathis pressed his thumb under Fischer's chin, applying pressure to a nerve. Fischer's face contorted with pain. "Consider this a warning. If I escalate this, it will be excruciating."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPyPdO9Uwc
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcl06njMIi
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA82NRq1Ext
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnGwWPNpvL
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9x9tysXKG
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN69UCRlZR9
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCmMYgouk1
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0n64nXp7W
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWdNQS4EgO
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSAIHDZYLJ
Fischer panted. "A new software launches on Monday. It's designed to hack and control any system. The Shadow Front uses this company as a cover for their real agenda. Everyone thinks it's a new internet platform."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2itirKDmt
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Zfm2agWt
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cfL4mZhfa
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8UIOA3wW0
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl32AiiRjtA
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOiuIYuWcJ
As Mathis sought more answers, a bullet shattered the window, silencing Fischer. The sudden violence was shocking—two masked men had appeared, their dark clothing blending with the night. They were armed with silenced weapons, their movements precise and calculated. The lead attacker had a cold, menacing demeanor, his eyes hidden behind a black mask. The second attacker was slightly smaller but equally deadly, his weapon poised and ready.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDULFjUYgf
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu0uGUrnW8
Mathis sprang into action, grabbing Bree and pushing her to safety. The attackers' aim was deadly, but Mathis's swift reflexes and training allowed him to dodge most of the incoming fire. He returned fire, hitting one of the attackers in the shoulder, causing him to stagger.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSLGuIi2Z1
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQuKpDclsy
Bree, taking advantage of the distraction, pulled out her own weapon and fired with precision. The second attacker, caught off guard, was quickly subdued. As the gunfire ceased, Mathis assessed the situation. The attackers were professional—part of the Shadow Front's elite security team. Their swift, ruthless approach indicated they were highly trained and familiar with such operations.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVZv8hMdjc
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgAyCBymis
Mathis and Bree searched the house for additional threats or clues. The attackers had been quick and efficient, leaving little behind. The phone's ringing broke the tense silence, and Mathis retrieved it, hoping for a lead.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Tb7DbHHi
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzPSOBfAUE
As they exited the house, Mathis noticed a sleek black vehicle trailing them at high speed. The car's darkened windows obscured the occupants, but Mathis could make out the aggressive driving style.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g8j09bzhk
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvw8a5Nee9
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxf8EhVqZr
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasK99WU0ao
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M4w8j0DHb
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCIOEaGeoQ
She accelerated, weaving through traffic as Mathis leaned out the window, returning fire at the pursuing vehicle. The black car was heavily armored, but Mathis's aim was steady. He targeted the tires and engine, trying to disable the car without causing a crash that could endanger civilians.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uJJaEHlro
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe9q6e25qQ
The black car retaliated with a burst of gunfire, shattering the rear window of Bree's car. Bree's hands stayed steady on the wheel, maneuvering through sharp turns and narrow streets. The chase was intense—Mathis's bullets were hitting their mark, but the enemy vehicle remained relentless.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1Xoy1ad8F
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKhRTh2mfv
As Bree sped down a deserted country road, Mathis took Bree's gun and fired at the remaining attacker leaning out of the black car's window. His shots were precise, and the attacker fell back into the car, the weapon slipping from his grasp.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoykcgR3EF
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBo0bYiqxH
The black car's driver lost control, the vehicle skidding and flipping violently before coming to a halt. Bree slammed on the brakes, bringing their car to a stop. The immediate danger had passed, but the threat was far from over.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx84ddK3af
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf9q5Kt12M
Mathis approached the wrecked vehicle cautiously. The attackers were either dead or severely injured. Mr. Sha was not among them. Mathis returned to the car, where Bree looked relieved but anxious.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJun4xBhia1
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs7K4hd1CI
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4zVeZawkq
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2m0vLlmx2
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMJhGZH9sV
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1tKAZrQGS
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM410kki96U
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCiQyU80uq
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaw2rHn1d0
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccFc2UxGT6
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
