Bimo's Failure
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00YrOwgh4T
Kembang Setaman Discotheque.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiiOwdml0F
Disco lights flickered. The DJ played "Kopi Dangdut."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceFqBfwJ8J
On the top floor, a graceful woman sat in expensive clothes, a paper fan in her hand. She was the Grand Madam, Mariana.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Qrvncc1q
In front of her, a glass table. On it stood a tall cocktail glass, cold and misty, with small ice cubes floating inside. A bent straw clung to the rim.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGxTzuTNLg
Several guards stood watch around her.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGARTwinic
A tall, broad-shouldered man bowed respectfully.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWeMBnGVm2
Broto: "Madam, it turns out Bimo, our sniper, failed to take out Nagini and Officer Burhan."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaDgGfc5tZ
The woman with the paper fan only smiled.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ446UGvhw7f
Mariana: "I already expected that, Broto…"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP85XbrWpR6
Broto's eyes widened in shock. His voice trembled.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wa2lhyenR
Broto: "You already expected it, Madam?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZiXsb40wT
Mariana took the cocktail, sipping through the bent straw. She nodded.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2L0JBftoi
Mariana: "From my clash of inner force with her in the Ramayana Mall basement, I knew Nagini was not to be underestimated…"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkq5UM6pHG
Broto puffed on his cigarette, smoke curling from his lips.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyIiakn4yk
Mariana: "Even without the needle, Bimo's bullet would never have pierced Nagini's body."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabNMbN6KJk
Broto's jaw dropped, uneasy.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJpDkkSzP0
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam? Is Nagini bulletproof?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboGIJStes2
Mariana smiled at his shock, amused by his ignorance of pure inner force that could destroy anything.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWgTXmIQws
Mariana: "It's not like that, Broto…"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PUa8VaOPx
Broto tapped ash into the glass ashtray.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtCSUWzh6d
Broto: "Then what do you mean, Madam?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxfoYKWkop
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is strong enough to stop a bullet."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKb8izEibN
Broto still didn't understand. He took another drag, exhaling slowly.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxf1P3ZVIf
Broto: "Then why does she use the needle?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf6jXujABZ
Mariana swirled her cocktail, playing with the bent straw, then chuckled.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODzOted3kk
Mariana: "The needle is only a small tool to channel inner force. Just like this paper fan of mine, Broto…"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKYevG4o99
Broto nodded, starting to understand.

Eliminating Rani and Rina
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHAv22z5Tu
Mariana opened her paper fan and waved it slowly.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOL8JI4RAv
Mariana: "Broto, aside from Bimo's failure, how about the other targets? Were they successful?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47X7mwn7CE
Broto stubbed out his cigarette, lit another one, and exhaled.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrsiISt6tx
Broto: "Yes, Madam. The corrupt cops—success. Arizal and Diono have been arrested for bribery and corruption."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZmDwfdqxf
Mariana: "Does that involve us?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ2cbfmIeA
Broto: "Of course not, Madam. That was our cyber team…"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA9QG0GpAj
Mariana smiled faintly behind her fan.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9k8ziOj9k
Mariana: "Explain, Broto."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTzva2uG7z
Broto: "They hacked into the Anti-Corruption Commission's site and planted proof of Arizal and Diono's dirty transactions."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiDbXJ96fH
Mariana smiled again.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEbghk16UC
Mariana: "And what about the twins, Rani and Rina?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PleDeLF0n
Broto inhaled deeply on his cigarette.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFm7sQeWOk
Broto: "I already sent Andika and three of his men to shadow them…"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbcLiMBmRC
Mariana sipped her cocktail, smiling.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfDy3vDU6A
Mariana: "Good, Broto."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vqe0GmsXa
Broto: "Andika and his friends are experts in nunchaku."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO2uT2M27T
Mariana: "Nunchaku? Two wooden sticks linked by an iron chain?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajMIapZYq8
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQImoQHBbLh
Mariana's fan waved lazily. She smiled faintly.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzrcGtQn0A
Broto: "Pardon, Madam… what about Nagini and Burhan?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf67Rm7HJQB
Mariana: "After Bimo's failure?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsyDEq6Qhi
Broto: "Yes, Madam."

Taking Out Nagini and Burhan
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhgk28JjqV
Mariana: "Eliminating Nagini and Burhan won't be easy, Broto…"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWb0qxsaIA
Broto kept silent, listening.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljgo1q0dLX
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is very high. She needs a worthy opponent."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ5TyYHH8W
Broto: "True, Madam…"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYBm7wvoHR
Mariana: "Burhan, on the other hand, is an honest cop. It'll be hard for our cyber team to trap him."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBAJvKnQMX
Broto smoked quietly.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2BXLg78Bg
Mariana: "Any solution, Broto?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0le5iNRMDN
Broto frowned, sipping cold coffee.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEV1kCgme3
Broto: "For Burhan… how about we hire Anton?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVq4g1cdj8
Mariana smiled thinly.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR0Cr80MyS
Mariana: "Anton? The ex-Brimob officer fired for beating his own commander?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZKwjB13oZ
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That Anton. He works as a security guard here now."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT070zDjS4
Mariana twirled her fan, sipping cocktail again.

Silence.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntdY44SXTN
Mariana played with her fan. Broto smoked, his face uneasy.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjX9oIw7nL
Broto: "But Madam… what about Nagini?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs10NaFMBBc
Mariana: "You mean a worthy opponent for her?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11qqayPemz
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTfxLmQWLU
Mariana: "For that, I have my own plan."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWukpc7ZBK
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOPzAwJsGs
Mariana: "Do you know the old twins, Durgono and Durgani?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEQRLRC5pI
Broto's eyes widened.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCtdg4TLM7
Broto: "You mean Gono and Gani—the karambit masters?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fK7RCp551
Mariana: "Yes, Broto."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2DRkuPS9h
Broto: "Karambit… the small curved knife shaped like a sickle?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwJAelmfcW
Mariana: "Correct, Broto."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97A8nko0Md
Broto smoked again.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMNrjrA6DO
Broto: "Aren't they retired from the underworld?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM46lUB8HCk
Mariana didn't answer—just smiled faintly.

Sawitri at Kembang Setaman
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyMp3l49Ps
In the middle of their conversation, a young pretty girl approached Mariana.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONFPo2blzz
Mariana smiled warmly, while Broto's eyes popped at her beauty, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5pbM2oKcm
Mariana: "Broto, mind your manners. This beauty is my guest."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7YNUH986M
Broto: "Apologies, Madam."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sn4WjHbjU
He quickly looked away.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HnKAKGIZy
Mariana: "Don't be afraid. Come sit by me."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFN3dcCmZU
The girl sat shyly beside Mariana.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveeetkpSX5
Mariana: "What's your name?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GVLjV9j9Y
Sawitri: "Sawitri, Madam."

Mariana: "What would you like to drink?"
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeSsUggTU2
Sawitri: "Nothing, Madam."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaWQUp29v9
Mariana laughed lightly.
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEStRXKxOWb
Mariana: "Broto, order an orange juice for Sawitri."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpUFUNrNWT
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkodyYMSQVZ
He went to the bar.
