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.

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5BCGqXudN
"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."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsbtzgH6mC
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcv9CGs5tC
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH59zZjC500
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX3SXIltW1
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF3euwjap2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztUBkCbBw8
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6m0niy4un
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyDo7YpIhx
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD4PZRSIcI
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hb5jVTBJB
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuBlo28K8Z
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKTzRCbXfL
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rY1cJtIs2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT1JT3QouF
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."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q3RdUrjLB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLYHPIy73q
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."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKIdvnRwXY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBhh1iNctF
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.

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS3st6jMLX
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vlDuLpOLo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSGXsw3XEZ
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdJzoTCnfD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb8ubGMfq7
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAQHSp6uKX
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGARE8R8YhL
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXceEjoBtMp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRE07zqG0I
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."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaRRfS0k1V
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nkTyy9teu
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ450Eq9Ck21
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzdII7ztnk
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ApVrnpi5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIjKVNiL6A
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX2nqQNzHQ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgesz082aST
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExkM1v8yxV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTArhNTwAh
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Ddr7r1u9
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcB3kj5q5K
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0jdNZDRc2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqafJ8G4UB
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjIg7FCCyF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAt1u9g2GM
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZarRfYCaO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXixazxMBW
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."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDms95R3t5o
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewwbyMu3qA
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AsytFipS4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWmRBxEhfa
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1yAIkWAYi
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadC05jHjnC
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TWmmgPmxj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk0eSKqfab
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SIdOKqw5R
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOERALa8vkp
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."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD85ad6MPi
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1zWFVm5Zo
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO4TQgnnxA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bFCj7zaoP
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEc9RLOLen
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD0wHqF0KE
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5bwMd4uN6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VVUXw23hl
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalSBangqns
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcsWYSGfXx
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iyroMsbzo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGAhAXxce
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh9F4wialN
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl34KJvKBP
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5lV8G1FKi
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrt6DFX7Ev
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ze3mg8s6r
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXlaaygqQ2
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzhzRGe1kv
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7cZRP0AVh
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKvwDx9lOK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlLr1Jy1R9
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡops5BhUk6p
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQH1RqRfwR
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii6YYgKA2r
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5tOZyKxtX
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisqUBPWSKg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJr3vBWWC7
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UWp11nfFr
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIPxPSzg23
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxgaQqUJq8
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiFhniss9k
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjvK3yXYnR
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3DVO7Rswb
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JOtknuvER
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPzeXPbvmz
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDAO1V72mR
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7LWCgnl6L
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
