Bimo's Failure
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvMmtbFDY6
Kembang Setaman Discotheque.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORbLC32SxZ
Disco lights flickered. The DJ played "Kopi Dangdut."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34gC2mssQ9
On the top floor, a graceful woman sat in expensive clothes, a paper fan in her hand. She was the Grand Madam, Mariana.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4J9vSzPFP
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp0XutSviz
Several guards stood watch around her.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECwXiRFj46
A tall, broad-shouldered man bowed respectfully.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbNx0QCPQp
Broto: "Madam, it turns out Bimo, our sniper, failed to take out Nagini and Officer Burhan."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuPglRStDR
The woman with the paper fan only smiled.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8MUrz8xri
Mariana: "I already expected that, Broto…"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jkJETgkdk
Broto's eyes widened in shock. His voice trembled.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HAuMQk8Nt
Broto: "You already expected it, Madam?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YUjvC3acO
Mariana took the cocktail, sipping through the bent straw. She nodded.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgKT7JL19x
Mariana: "From my clash of inner force with her in the Ramayana Mall basement, I knew Nagini was not to be underestimated…"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KumcGldmQ
Broto puffed on his cigarette, smoke curling from his lips.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUeXYfCZRL
Mariana: "Even without the needle, Bimo's bullet would never have pierced Nagini's body."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEGkPmScyl
Broto's jaw dropped, uneasy.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbAw72FkUU
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam? Is Nagini bulletproof?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSIUZg4qIc
Mariana smiled at his shock, amused by his ignorance of pure inner force that could destroy anything.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj1dyP2JnM
Mariana: "It's not like that, Broto…"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcofVTZKZ4
Broto tapped ash into the glass ashtray.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RkCMpPyNL
Broto: "Then what do you mean, Madam?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHGJrvOiz5
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is strong enough to stop a bullet."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqSeXMacEY
Broto still didn't understand. He took another drag, exhaling slowly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sWg4xfgAN
Broto: "Then why does she use the needle?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bLKCpOcIZ
Mariana swirled her cocktail, playing with the bent straw, then chuckled.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNNpX1XoKx
Mariana: "The needle is only a small tool to channel inner force. Just like this paper fan of mine, Broto…"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JN5hGaNv7
Broto nodded, starting to understand.

Eliminating Rani and Rina
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8aoRrLbin
Mariana opened her paper fan and waved it slowly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R9HawFHIp
Mariana: "Broto, aside from Bimo's failure, how about the other targets? Were they successful?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR1a1zj9Y2
Broto stubbed out his cigarette, lit another one, and exhaled.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzcSl7pp9F
Broto: "Yes, Madam. The corrupt cops—success. Arizal and Diono have been arrested for bribery and corruption."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgKSUWgCxr
Mariana: "Does that involve us?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMigRovhkD
Broto: "Of course not, Madam. That was our cyber team…"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R5Gsobb84
Mariana smiled faintly behind her fan.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQgx1Zf5gv
Mariana: "Explain, Broto."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDxk7ZOqy1
Broto: "They hacked into the Anti-Corruption Commission's site and planted proof of Arizal and Diono's dirty transactions."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX1nmg6IiX
Mariana smiled again.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMTgL5eSfV
Mariana: "And what about the twins, Rani and Rina?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9WfI90udl
Broto inhaled deeply on his cigarette.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zR71Bx8ym
Broto: "I already sent Andika and three of his men to shadow them…"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Knq5Rmn9J
Mariana sipped her cocktail, smiling.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QM8Sht4w4
Mariana: "Good, Broto."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzDz7HSR1w
Broto: "Andika and his friends are experts in nunchaku."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV422MM5gb
Mariana: "Nunchaku? Two wooden sticks linked by an iron chain?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMIo22JPem
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjXuJCsmae
Mariana's fan waved lazily. She smiled faintly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKX3nMwnOG
Broto: "Pardon, Madam… what about Nagini and Burhan?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFUOpuTTd3
Mariana: "After Bimo's failure?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSakzklU19b
Broto: "Yes, Madam."

Taking Out Nagini and Burhan
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK7Ovf1Eda
Mariana: "Eliminating Nagini and Burhan won't be easy, Broto…"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNSD6dY3Cp
Broto kept silent, listening.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkLmKzVY94
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is very high. She needs a worthy opponent."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6xuSwvuUH
Broto: "True, Madam…"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNYSUvJPII
Mariana: "Burhan, on the other hand, is an honest cop. It'll be hard for our cyber team to trap him."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN9blk6ibh
Broto smoked quietly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzAu1ZDtoL
Mariana: "Any solution, Broto?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTqcJQDxPL
Broto frowned, sipping cold coffee.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmDpBiothy
Broto: "For Burhan… how about we hire Anton?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcdGjckBFn
Mariana smiled thinly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAgJDavgsu
Mariana: "Anton? The ex-Brimob officer fired for beating his own commander?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen2yAruqw7
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That Anton. He works as a security guard here now."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u3E1bHR15
Mariana twirled her fan, sipping cocktail again.

Broto: "Yes, Madam."

Silence.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC837Fk4Rw
Mariana played with her fan. Broto smoked, his face uneasy.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGvMppXfgT
Broto: "But Madam… what about Nagini?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK78bZwnxj
Mariana: "You mean a worthy opponent for her?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd3gImLiB5
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS7THcbjK8
Mariana: "For that, I have my own plan."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlLyMVFack
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vZ70VTzBX
Mariana: "Do you know the old twins, Durgono and Durgani?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzhyWzxWPJ
Broto's eyes widened.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3emhfMXQp
Broto: "You mean Gono and Gani—the karambit masters?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e4vGj1KYi
Mariana: "Yes, Broto."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjle4gpEMJ
Broto: "Karambit… the small curved knife shaped like a sickle?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kcy09uOzo
Mariana: "Correct, Broto."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl62M5geNB
Broto smoked again.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucGtvJfaq9
Broto: "Aren't they retired from the underworld?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxH8enW5uW
Mariana didn't answer—just smiled faintly.

Sawitri at Kembang Setaman
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wKt3TPHLL
In the middle of their conversation, a young pretty girl approached Mariana.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau6vDiohid
Mariana smiled warmly, while Broto's eyes popped at her beauty, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9SbULHpHf
Mariana: "Broto, mind your manners. This beauty is my guest."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLFm6EOKEt
Broto: "Apologies, Madam."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhoYWhprmH
He quickly looked away.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xEiAHx5Ch
Mariana: "Don't be afraid. Come sit by me."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGqinpwW4J
The girl sat shyly beside Mariana.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSghBo7eZ1
Mariana: "What's your name?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcyMuClJIP
Sawitri: "Sawitri, Madam."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub7O0Khcl0
Mariana: "What would you like to drink?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPWwk4EN9L
Sawitri: "Nothing, Madam."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvMmW8rczx
Mariana laughed lightly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyISvr8tuM
Mariana: "Broto, order an orange juice for Sawitri."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTUJnznIeK
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfVuXm40xM
He went to the bar.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3rD08gGYi
Mariana: "Do you like it here, Sawitri?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdQU0iDvRG

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm4trTeEjd
Sawitri: "Thank you, Madam."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrQ1yNd0pL
Moments later, Sawitri's orange juice arrived.
