Broto: "Madam, many of our assets in Jakarta have been frozen by the government."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSwmUyggiA
Mariana: "Yes, Broto. Not just our assets—many of our people have also been arrested."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLjBU68ZJk
Mariana shook her head anxiously. Her paper fan closed, tapping on the table in front of her. The glass of her favorite cocktail remained untouched.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFKa0IYTEA
Broto: "Madam, we should lay low for a while."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kfcr1sYl9
Mariana: "I'm no coward, Broto."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpUvdGz8fb
Broto took a clove cigarette with a "234" label.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1eMStu479
Broto: "But Madam, we're up against the government."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTXOzUIE7F
Mariana: "I know, Broto..."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2CcdOMuQF
Broto fell silent for a moment. He struck a match, lit his cigarette, and inhaled deeply.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBONWacVfVL
Broto: "We really should lay low for now, Madam..."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55qNXDYlG8
Mariana took a sip of her cocktail and opened her paper fan.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt99FD18tH

44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTi7o2u8wx

44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY9ugvjq2f
Mariana: "We will fight back, Broto."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLoABUIEOV
Broto inhaled again, his face showing hesitation. Fighting the government? Yet in front of the Madam, he dared not resist.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjLf79U9y0
Broto: "Yes, Madam. We will strike back."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKKYsciifX

44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyZHnlj8Xz
Broto: "Ready, Madam."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNai3ptYz0

44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnDwKNhkWr
Mariana: "Are our snipers in position on the surrounding buildings?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWGeog4uAG
Broto: "They're ready, Madam."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve9RywFNas
Mariana looked satisfied.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwmFXEwTwx
Mariana: "What about the helicopter? Is it ready?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtfztkScR4
Broto: "All ready, Madam. The helicopter is on the roof of the tallest building."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D0JZNMdkH
Mariana smiled faintly, taking a sip of her cold, condensation-covered cocktail.

44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbuOnYlVxc
Mariana: "Broto, they've targeted us, frozen our assets, and tightened the squeeze on our business."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ18fTZ8XZ
Broto: "That's right, Madam."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUpq49W9sB
Mariana: "We will punish those who make things difficult for us."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUc7B5tznl
Broto inhaled his clove cigarette again.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHLv0tUcmK
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnuL9fSJT2
Mariana: "We'll target them in return—freeze their assets, freeze their accounts."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NSaHDGvRc
Broto exhaled smoke and tapped his cigarette on the ashtray several times.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdOcnHGwSp
Mariana: "Can you do it, Broto?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f0vMp33k6
Broto: "Of course, Madam! We have a cyber team, don't we?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafICg3xTYK
Mariana: "Do you know which top police and KPK officials are leading the operation against us?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEUMGTGZMe
Broto: "Of course, Madam. We'll find out..."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4oWjctzKp
Mariana: "Investigate whether they've been involved in corruption or bribery."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtwumPnSx6
Broto wiped cold sweat from his forehead, his face uneasy about Mariana's plan. His voice trembled.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GIq4luWl8
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx8vFjiJwB
Mariana: "Check major companies, like Pertamina and the mining sector, for links to them."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwf8E6d9jv
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr8iBXknhu
Mariana played with her paper fan, then sipped her cold cocktail.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQkzm0mvWb
Mariana: "Can you do it without linking it back to us?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZHpiLXXcE
Broto took a deep breath.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1bf8iorKS
Broto: "Of course, Madam. Isn't that how Arizal and Diono came under KPK investigation?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkDYIL9hGA
Mariana: "Exactly."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2tKuF91A5
Broto: "Our cyber team provided information on Arizal and Diono's fake accounts—without exposing us."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4NnDZPXYg
Mariana nodded, satisfied.

Bimo, the Deserted Kopassus Sniper
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AqmJePgc6
Mariana looked exhausted. Her beautiful face showed anxiety. The paper fan opened wide.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXccFBtai1F
Mariana: "I need to rest in my private room."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEjNUhBTCe
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCJzUKzsuo
Mariana: "The problems we've faced lately are exhausting."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2TBDJBdTD
Broto: "True, Madam. Government officials are starting to suspect our business."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbnFj7Be9V
Mariana didn't react. The fan moved slowly in her hand, her face calm.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqzl69vQ3T
Broto: "They've frozen part of our assets. The raids keep coming."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8UZbu7Fg3
Mariana stood up.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7QaMbGUX0
Broto: "And most recently, they blocked our shipment of female workers to Thailand and arrested Captain Kuntadi!"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVwHn5vWLd
Mariana: "According to our informant, did that involve Nagini and Officer Burhan?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfKfzPRaTc
Broto nodded.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIwL9Stsjy
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That was their doing."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C0Wbelobv
Mariana frowned in annoyance.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhewJauGMB
Mariana: "Nagini, the man in the red jacket—the one we met in the Ramayana Mall basement?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ5OaMAKHf
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkOFNu1MPg
Mariana: "Nagini was strong enough to block my fan strike on the twins, Rani and Rina."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAlEwkOzqo
Broto nodded again, inhaling deeply.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfWE3PdFXH
Mariana: "Can you deal with them, Broto?"
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2SRH3Xllu

Broto: "Yes, Madam. He works for us now."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigs8lMOpZn

44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJk8YF6cUf
Mariana: "Broto, make it as clean as possible..."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9W2AYdFze

The Real Mariana
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE0ZiUlzkw
Mariana opened her private room with a fingerprint scan. Once inside, the door closed and locked automatically.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSLPzy50Bv
She walked to a large vanity mirror and sat, staring at her reflection.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWQv4TQYWB
Mariana looked at her face—beautiful, calm, with a faint smile hinting at unshakable resolve.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYZ5F3c71O
Slowly, she removed her long-sleeved blouse, revealing muscular arms like a female bodybuilder.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH3jAb8lgt
The pronounced muscles contrasted sharply with her soft, golden-brown skin and delicate facial features.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlV0c3o8Ib
Mariana took a tissue and wiped off her lipstick, revealing her natural lips.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpmDICXga8
She stared at herself in the mirror again, silent and still.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7eUBj6ELp
Then she rose from her seat. Her hands trembled faintly, a reddish glow surrounding them…
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sMwEPWBsY
The room grew hot.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzz9GWdTUb
The paper fan in Mariana's hand hardened into steel.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFQtRVZsov
Mariana had unleashed her inner energy.

Broto: "Arizal and Diono have been arrested by the KPK on suspicion of bribery and embezzlement of police funds."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Z5eWL45s
Mariana smiled faintly. Her fan opened and moved slowly.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYej0Gl8U9

Broto: "That was our cyber team's work. They set up Arizal and Diono."

44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISqWSYGy0w
Broto: "Madam, several senior police and military officers working with us—besides Arizal and Diono—have also been arrested."
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJFSc6DNSB
