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.

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHCRfaumDS
"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."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2kobB9tzl
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQlttDvj7F
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9vpG8DTQI
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J0bC6i6DD
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEM2s6knZH
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxzjemHsGg
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVqlAvf6O8
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0jfePzhh2
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6ZnM5k8ct
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYVgWc0zQF
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx8vzueG5d
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeElMUSIxZ6
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeDOPp8Koz
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6zISx15O8
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."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm79UoHsOzi
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8sI4adrEX
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."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd7mTZFr0r
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdcHTUF2D7
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUM0DP6rI3
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04fMvr33rB
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUfVpMZTm7
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUal3vrZTOx
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWRXCmRTdL
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWbY7mtP4m
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsiNR6HoiY
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaobzG0EWO
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ4reRdpfT
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeKyLUkqE1
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."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nBAOcDE78
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMCxS8Zr5S
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQnQecd9n
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B2QGQaED5
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TCeJJo1T5
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tYO380mLm
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZg5jjijaG
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0VDPobwj0
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINDHpzdhmF
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQUR8fpmUI
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpjPtPOJSg
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKoAQEJp6S
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy24gt7IZK0
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrCCjavZpq
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkq7zRlMk3
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3voP3OzCDt
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVE4zqjdV6
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2hUhQZlcb
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."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRSgUXmkQQ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTWoFnP2nV
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WXySugzAo
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnocj67vQDz
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBAIVB27N1
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SfYhAhB9v
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLW0zJfm6M
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffI0yfXh13
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVSejOjObL
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCXFqWhofZ
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."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk3oL8zZL9
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvuOoOevgJ
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzFJKK6dOL
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U0V4kg2HS
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHNSCAYS3Z
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh1Xliy0Bw
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqcuNdWWW8
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo45Zeb4Ds
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm791TFo2KM
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE2087tLc5
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vcsPphmpZ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUiG23VvJa
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILfyz7eFcX
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7gX3ilGgW
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzfSwOd3yP
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf04UfFcNa
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxtcIF9lTr
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfDM1z1Xgj
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJvvaQA1Aj
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBesAHLx06G
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnBS20PUpl
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWTtX9hTGf
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq46mbLJGD
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFIV16bNyj
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzqxsH9jRl
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlIoICehoK
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8DevX7Se3
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xWNe1ZFOA
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEOrhoGYLj
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfdbOpWXJv
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInrUTgvpT6
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ypC0D5gbM
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh4AXuW4wZ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiom902mXMI
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIPpzNwZcr
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTli4f0Ahbb
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyVUctlwai
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Qo2RVG8W
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
