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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKxVwApVRO
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchnBeYFeDB
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aeQXtVVhL
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Xi5rowHa
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lKB0atAUA
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOMvPL2K32
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz7SzuEbwN
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvosdmy1x4
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscLLCtAhtR
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSpvUUmJLZ
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD2BHe0fTa
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59BNQyc5Fh
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mECg0sxDo
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvQqmbgSvl
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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC01Vh4TDI
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP7owyHcqe
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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM10AtVh8A
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMB0Qwtfev
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.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g0eDwdQlM
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.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEz2YbHvPL
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbBKAJEuoV
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOaoMDIqM5
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR26ADooRx
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHRNEoak3v
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7rGc3xeqy
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhcEw3bLLg
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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIQ5eZhubH
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6YyFSQx7o
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbeXg5RnX6
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXXD5t8mvf
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig8b90Pfle
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNDOqmSHo1
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6dsG7TdWQ
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5trnlQvt8w
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5yeGn99Ee
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiOTbbLVZn
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPmYnmegMU
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtiaPhsAjp
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe7vZqfHXX
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lnDHu9Zb7
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctLoJ4beAV
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eqJK0NEJA
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo6GjaPZYl
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq72muHqsbP
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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gI6VoAcVd
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV0OMLZgst
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFvOATebPg
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgUDQOiRnY
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl7uXbsox0
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqDY8hs82Y
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI2MrGNbS5
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSIcRucT1i
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzUM3cPVqu
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjEUaFXYOw
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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUhSI55b1x
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hGSQwUJnw
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVriEhKxtp
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5M3widOHo
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2ck2ufAxN
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvrznnlAs8
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bwCnUBj77
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxD8Ndcult
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTxffPnDr7
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe8uEJ84RA
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXGGNNqkbS
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CtP8dcMWj
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoaHx16hAe
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0oztbujoQ
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnDz3VCUb7
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1MKkrxS8U
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcayQTALAX
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQAmVEwmV7
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgxRAWFAkh
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXZdOuqitt
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3RkmdmGDX
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMWi7oemG1
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU1jjo0ct6
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwAS9ZpmAu
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPMRMN3Dcj
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeHdv65Cdh
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBojDKnke0
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd86nXTpTPi
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrjFgHrnXA
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCnMcttV5w
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbkrDnmBQI
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XwPfiMG4s
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTaOKDlEnO
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsYG601QJn
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftTdgDxqk5
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCdMiAszB6
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDh4iZDJ3I
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQt0AwShP9
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
