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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtESu35lhk5
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXmBzzPCV2
"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."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd0E63pH61
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GmAHBDzqA
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZdlf3rF71
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcn40dqJDU
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc1JttqCjV
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lWXTjQvIS
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E8mjE6p8l
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq8NazVOGb
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOck86BxQvW
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVr5z9uEpR
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjosSnv36B5
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZb2zsuI2S
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOghY8DEK8G
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKPgrjRLSp
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."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAnZ1QtYJG
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4JWB5v3ne
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."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuOWR2igmf
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDhouCZtvx
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CvOi60ZvL
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SgcEsQBCS
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0u63B6bcM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtH6USKwZk
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs5v6SH4On
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb3WFGa3cL
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRs5vv7rSX
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NzRqOjvvV
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNNGiIFeez
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF79pCFuS6
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."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrY1tiGkil
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0aM9bFbN9
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfBhA86kBH
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHDCz43DJn
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjLBF2JRcw
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYen05nYK9f
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gLbjpHodM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLdfeTZn36
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sChio0uCh
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN1YlFkV44
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8byhCkQvL
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCUUWh55xU
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8lsmwwUAD
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoSIhbFaY1
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgEKh9JD30
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNkr5iZYOt
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWK82AQIuw
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPnPy57qNR
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."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLucEh38Ua
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCmcfFpaHG
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoAqxCrSc7
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDUH6wZL0L
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2HgAGHjZw
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSxT2UBZmB
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZhx5Kuhzx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnANXE9vdrl
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYIHahhhb0
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6iLCo6h8Y
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."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4uWrNVC6z
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMrAAqe437
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B5WWJZFsE
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJj1TeNHGd
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNaEgLhFZd
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8XOFoLksU
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zo5XQYgsq
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuebXXvxCu
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMhNK2JpTG
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3RR1oj7pn
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIWvRCKD5Q
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6X9Ss32L9
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtHbVQ2Nwe
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwNtTRKBP2
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDW6UglGJq
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeD7hxmslY
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSxAzB9cly
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QmUZMYcKy
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNRA8OBaEg
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsOsUcJOyZ
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtdC8Cb5HJ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OboM6wQzT
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7PieXWbF8
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pZIi9RMPU
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnugRH5P9j2
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRF1tw11Vq
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbupDy0b4Q
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ24VPvB8f
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssPWaP1r6x
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdJGXkfDmL
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUHJ9CKux1
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVqT6Lx5wa
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Qp2IpN7d
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0JHDYWBDT
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt2venxPUI
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVNrHTZZtd
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgcXQSgjrG
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgkY9wR0vK
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
