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.

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qap6K3puJ
"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."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlZ28leKdg
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f2utWWvyE
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6j6BhA9NU
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwlIlYPZla
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOl0aii2z3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjJ2MLToHc
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpt2PIGRX1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAL5eNayn6
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHQUXFFDHe
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJHJeRvkpp
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qxxXSUrZB
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVDXWuYE9T
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuQ8s6KNVe
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkoht0gdux
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."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B88aKywEH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhvKOjKLzm
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."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64JayFEPgB
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9DMuPO0fx
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.

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK2gmsGSoB
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZDhclKBKi
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b8RiX8tP7
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxKO8FKqXx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4fDK1d8CX
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BbJnpyJQk
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLqmVoj9Ws
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFLPpZUWnt
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXUrYeqRYK
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."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRJ4vekP0H
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziQPOrHb3n
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf7C45kg9H
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nHDY7PCRQ
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvzTqvlhYi
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nhAsckiRc
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLzzpxbrJC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnFqsXOWWN
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSXiHeErru
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaijBwvFRLY
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKrf5Oxs4M
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgZ3sHR0yG
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhXabfzXPc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSam9H26WZ
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26kNqzBADP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYusT9tKbl
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Yl2AG1vN
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLopxsBm0E
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."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYXGd7VbyV
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLPAHwFFTk
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyXpmzmSQx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01CJfNvSqr
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAE6ifkbxs
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SlCJx0a5e
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LWBiO2Nqn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMP83njWZd
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0T7xobTw3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzlPEN2dud
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."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzMJGe70yZ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WxgsjzMxN
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanOZmfudow
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbjRUv14oi
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvYq3le04V
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqTiQw1O0O
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDQH2GxDiF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GJBUrDitN
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w0JBcjsMc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYs8eVcgWu
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79IG4eH68E
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpVIqxHpri
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHK6mexBzZ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqzKb0JQy0
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZMDFgE8LY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuk7bkfkyI
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3irOvD6p39
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx37ht3K0b
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXXoSc9EwH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXm3LX8OVP
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMuo77BhOi
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KSLyHthq6
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyOFqKftGz
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThQeAojz4O
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtJw87KJyy
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux8TTYqz56
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNjwINgyBw
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYE8eon3fw
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.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C4utDOhCr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPaS1fhVTH
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQumQZ87oY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKkoTOf31g
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cpUqllxD0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg77fK9Ahem
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ8yzbSUeD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlGOgJJJpb
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVrrw3KZrD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2qn9l8Y7V
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
