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.

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1xgZ8S3LB
"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."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOycKDKuvlZ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bteQQLSIr
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LI6ZdQ6bj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdWQxQTDDc
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kySFPots5
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIQsCVrfGD
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlG8qlvby9
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsuTkfmEfi
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn0HO51LKO
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShFW9x8CIv
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uRcNKHdZ4
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSqRRcGnFT
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8wjSdn5rt
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsJ2gpGGoY
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."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFVLeLknE8
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P6yR7pSeU
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."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvM02XKdky
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjW0NpSbB9
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.

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedEVTXSpBo
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXRi2SKHkY
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DLfnEjIlm
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2w2Poswi3
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CBfiQ40jb
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj665r0LR74
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQg4styvZD
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi2K0vXOfl
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTeivvq3FY
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."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOTcFCCH7Y
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3BNmGgMTt
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdHNgk8sW6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeJe9T4muc
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshir4I0yh8
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4enEY0cGGu
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXqf1LQTNj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCDMOUHsy7
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0qpCC5D6n
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiQ8I2T3M8
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiAEKCPg3h
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWpqURrccb
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvwxaU6VYo
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2NloXsTGZ
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgE4H5HCsh
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2BCJOi8Qb
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbeiJ9W7D1
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVLaWGDggV
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."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oqkYDcsdc
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2wlAvL4FT
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAqaLDV5Sv
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVeZGgE8vg
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPnxP2Grbe
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGSP6BqNtk
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YnjVRs4so
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH23CsLTsM
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0PL2OY4gg
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cPo6fNJvd
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."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkmpjqVLL9
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gaD6QtrUj
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Wbt5dRdl
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGFLS6uAbe
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGawCjNZkAp
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtFvHRDNg8
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF4vonvkod
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiI1wO7TXt
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRZ04TIXLE
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEQ53wObvB
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhAkozZnlk
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VVowYBZuD
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw15Mcgila
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVqrLfS8U4
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcAdhfq7mo
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FCczyrsW5
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lIcy18OrC
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApI8GQ1ib0
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHBKFm9aXe
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfXBqTDO89
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmoU2808Y6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjkrNIfz3o
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig2GmUfmxs
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmGm8j9B4T
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUupgzt8mw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1W6OO2bgV
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9e7WkNMol
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5FWt75nxk
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4JUh6dUuf
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUt5tULS3g
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FdWPY2gmL
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1VjvNxOb4
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrDllFtsTa
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu5pfkztpT
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazb240TxRa
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNLLq437Bc
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9juSyvl84y
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaucfUoIV1k
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
