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.

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EiQFh7gwq
"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."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VVrzg4T2k
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIU2YBng32
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVXfKXwHTV
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinKLGJs2uy
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS9lervw5g
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet9FMcsS4Y
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ANu3SAZi
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY9eOje3V3
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpffXALkukp
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8qOoZSUTa
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgoJIeSAgK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDaPfTdLU3
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ1l3iZgPT
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mZFIuhZ3u
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."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNoxGnVMGh
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboj7WofGTy
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."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wO0PNvGsZ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW0LuXAx1m
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4uqEBYrfF
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwPqEN2kI1
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVT2SE3e7O
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnpOFRSWR3
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0opT0ml3vP
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBZSaqqtJM
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Puy6ceAhs
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPohNYRJsL
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpXS3wAHZ5
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfhGCA95Vn
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."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHtj6mGOZK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs74a1rDVFV
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlRqnIm32o
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRYesPHfDq
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZOmY3mgAT
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ0DVzcNpp
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUwU5OwO07
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4XHCp8Ugc
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBECsDwK69b
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrE2h5URVB
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ139QRnzuL0
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXxL8vf6Qu
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKYKZhVrow
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fVyn4pJmu
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ0YvRe7QI
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe6wwIs0sn
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGGx0PwmrC
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ5Bic4g7m
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."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvCDpKhuD8
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY11F4X5Y1a
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAPFbUgyYt
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEkdHoRu44
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18vR12NJnD
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpRCLbBKTT
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8NxwTB5v4
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcH6cxZeUi
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPoMQIZKhG
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ6WE7RC9f
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."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV4u5F2QTF
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwBQXjrQaU
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0tLmOJByK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1MP5ycuco
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh506U61wc
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KzwdeGT6i
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKIAOWyMf8
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CMGooxLYQ
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYuqAi3KXF
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa0G0k5ANF
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYMZ7Flehr
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh7F5gghPh
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXuCLXRsHC
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSashcJlzw
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm5wAZRdgT
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WyxndVv24
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz29ZpzO74
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOXuVzdJZ5
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Q2z5ETNt
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6GRDJkDWM
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GPPpI8eUz
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrSnoveyx7
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRX7BTEyaW
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiONpluFA1e
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKykSR1PVqH
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzic8NVEFXm
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJT9KnP1TE
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9XyH7QFkC
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy4ydoERHP
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum35uE5iFY
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnyrb561Lr
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUekOyDnRl
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15wMa66d0U
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iKmle0hMw
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKqCw0PvuW
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY78m9WyddK
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtdqgLw0ee
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPl8WNJbuz
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
