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."

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs4oFbObud
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4kf07ogPU
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqbAPKSoYP
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjw9pOlqjG
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNvORQ18CI
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h89CSrLzh
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwUgaMwpCv
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNReIEkwzmz
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0UnRJkACm
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6izkMSKAN
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjw8otTU7N
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLSn7IwgSp
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3VzS3KUMq
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ76XYlUT7R
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxHfl89aF1
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aCZZx7Hut
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1NCtXdlQ2
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.

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7WRWEICVU
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84A2TsN8zk
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qo580Qa82
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD8KkaVq8J
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RYHXJekLp
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdvYONuOfx
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls6ueLAAtS
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJTI9mCpKy
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6KWrFwHhl
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rAUXq5AC0
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLd6HMSP41
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi55EDxdiYn
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8veQndoEQq
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7gKUj9uwq
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeR7iLUQFI
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd8r1qL13h
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerd976BMDL
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu4nc9IU56
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzFx076vab
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOCtZeYCGU
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosP4H7AZRU
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHrORVe1q8
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfqMZkSfKf
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF0KiF7LxF
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjMMsaQCr5
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQjKyBXD0M
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBzKx3sad5
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSU9wRvEMu
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPkgHQRQKP
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3r0gVdQjO
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oKkW83Auz
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpkI7AnN4A
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLufpNrmXx
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OPJdy4aMH
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzNa1EZS0e
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6mzDo1jAf
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT8ZqoRSKo
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."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz48myI8oN5
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVvgYuXqtG
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jwHqApOSl
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wgmMB8QN4
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYr4Jj5v1r
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7SOEtxvyi
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv5it2Zazj
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5zDrfd11u
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnzqe6Bda6
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw2NMWIAxz
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBq9uCdADT
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bsEA43sqc
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJua3amKhx
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hPpQjA6jY
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe2jZGmstL
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ryqwIVdrO
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsw1mdeyDt
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSMSCKLX7m
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa3egG95Ul
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SzLPuJOdV
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilfc4aIED2
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh0s1T6ugK
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBwXVWgeRe
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf5gJTXmMl
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTPEGMxQJw
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIlHRPH357
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDfRAhBplH
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqEOsjyhxl
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfEiOzPlBe
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP5ESKYjRS
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ecSuweXK9
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CLIJmgFtS
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD6KcP1s2D
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2kVSziv6l
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJDHj5AfVT
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAZnKzafrR
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX9SyeiQNR
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7VWwPcwkl
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
