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."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5M2dTxR6I
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJtNix0Nxt
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N9U3C1Uhm
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IGnY2LV7q
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisLow46pJw
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKF8JmF7L7
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJqEz6T2Gj
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtariWFBDv
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnr9fzn1lQ
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrxcZqLYW7
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEyjLuNrVz
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTunZBXHzlw
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoY0P1pTWO
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VREQZnRUj
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."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DqLT7WHn8
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvcABhNP1Y
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."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJssIHT1wdb
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvseui70jBR
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.

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUMkAZCocA
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.

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa08Lws5Zjb
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KmU6d16mK
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnT18h5qig
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw0tjIiGHu
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXzbLWYyJf
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpPut7b8YY
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA4wqegphA
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."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUlB0Jacpv
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR0e8YxSkN
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rh6fZYkm6
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwG9v8s8na
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTc41J1aWt
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjHDI7hXUl
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdAFymCj5G
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjePnQLjRWm
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnyHEd9YVy
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt6ozZOLMH
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb6m7LrIpl
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTvLYgTv9T
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z9IVnFYML
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYXkxelupW
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqUdIGQSGH
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kohqXobnd
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHPzYxSaAS
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoQcwwoo4t
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."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGkOYhkw2o
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L8JoWJcpB
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P9AkIkcUa
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ7FOZ3EEQ
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL0LldA98P
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5RTsO7hxF
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4524sHeI9j
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgZhhDatlb
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4KG1hnJaP
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuHDcR1HJV
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."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX01sL6KLC
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt1AhXMYxg
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNiAWAx9OU
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNweJkWVKA
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6fciWXQv1
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6DCyfK1to
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QnvQSZ8XE
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqs2D3RSZ6
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGf76IAMPe
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sTeK4eoFf
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81lArhgHtb
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUgt5NrQuW
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVvHTgAiG3
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwudUjgl99M
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2wvI9VRPH
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4SYfv6pih
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHEXoxtkBD
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONZc8Lz44t
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR7fr1pqHb
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvyfa1N38U
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pvUUplPAd
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtruQxy5daX
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRox4Yt9K7F
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRj7I44N4b
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZgqEFpFgV
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqu6KZExKI
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUekssjeFCW
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRMdTmhDvx
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBmQ8ov09R
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrajZFtzld
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISTWYecmC2
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbwO2zAeWd
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONkB4SP3TM
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExBhfkrsd0
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiuB51jy19
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqZyzM609g
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc1XcUp4Dw
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTfnGvXZhj
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
