5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDEPEXQXW6
The Green Gang's base was located in the Tanah Abang area. This gang was one tier stronger than the Red Gang.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v47llKuNK
Inside the base, Giono—the Green Gang leader—sat in his chair. He was tall, burly, bearded, and had a habit of swearing:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfggP7Q8j8
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LHSOiokm4
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCuHAqA5pp
On the table sat a cup of hot coffee, a plate of fried bananas, a pack of yellow-wrapped Djarum kretek cigarettes, and a large ashtray full of cigarette butts.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0ET167hfy
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfXzJnp6D1
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNY6pkczX9
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zN18sAAKK
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANm8bS3BNF
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyP6vMoICF
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPDOkVmBue
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fjl4fkEMk
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7hHO5yzTS
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0kvGqibqO
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYDezeVleB
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrgV68YXEU
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1jPael0zG
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBN81wrkE2
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UfZeFsudU
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqDaDVBDHR
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpcS8ge8UN
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrFOS4scVb
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2STM6Lk6n
He cursed again.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqPxxR0AIB
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9OjZ02ynZ
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPOGFaHql2
Giono huffed in frustration.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3U6P12Zy3
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizcFoiJrq8
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVweevgALEH
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GygyfGnIw
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkzHWZufDp
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKwQKnm8oH
Giono: "Twin girls?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VexK6J342
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6szuTBeSF
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzSqWRWSqy
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wV2yuKjWl
Giono: "Outrageous!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUKuFzRs1Z
Giono's eyes widened.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDorvd6g8t
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDdG3U8WBY
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQjwTGxDqh
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUunX8dtZw
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcWHut8mls
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNfnpvbU1v
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfoa98CCYx
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ZCKnn5JY
Karto grinned like a horse.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCOXyI4hV7
Giono looked over all his men again.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNLZzHsg8P
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJGDAMdgy0
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrOrTkgaRa
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFZUQIfW24
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB77kpK7PI
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetFN8g6FjK
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClIRaExkuQ
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVyhPNGilp
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxV6V9c8jU
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsJTQ50HOW
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDJrcXAMkO
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUXqvkMOjc
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeWKLidKHM
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKGeVjafxo
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnSPrUPboF
Karto: "You look worried…"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ35fMVvQa
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5aBUcuxxu
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXJdgA0N5S
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mqt2aqfWc
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqWzGeb0Aa
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgyUBRWKgk
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fiUFRpdMK
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo29u59KqxA
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwBodoEvI4
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjCZ2mkAY3
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cCBOd60G8
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1tXgC8iAW
Tikno: "No information about killings."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVrvmXklPh
Turiman: "Why not?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPWpRL1HUO
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RfX1wgvQj
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bxq7kR7KJ
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZLl2F4Gd1
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKiHhrWEMp
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOIbgvReZX
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodK6GkGNQ3
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6nCc9Fjsu
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5078YZFxTC
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcMnQXM1zf
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OXMqijeqo
Bang!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUmJXhbbN9
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDemqG1gmRI
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDRsnf9Nr2
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhmZQXao4N
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD7fmZjxbN
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcDMjZUg3e
The Green Gang members laughed again.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmnqvipWlo
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7xQadrxAw
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES9wvcEFg5
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0UecJ80sW
Karto: "We will fight!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflqGlB5HS9
Tikno looked fired up.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXanWZ0xYa
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYtX0sarpc
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT6juoZYK8
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UelK8CJ9r
Finally, Giono said slowly:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8862hI3jG
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1jeyw0KCE
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn26SOMkY2
"Are you hungry?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvgns9r21i
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAVT2uObef
"Fried rice with catfish!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoJjv3KAXX
"Omelette rice!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMJMp3oyd0
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86yjCOAsOa
Their shouts echoed in the room.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvJCRArp0Y
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxfklfR9RE
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysr27ASC7y
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFmeh4hmz5
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvlGdGfd3H
Karto started counting the 50 members.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUkpAn0gYz
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oHePzggT4
The room erupted in chatter.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw8Efr3MS1
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlLI2VBsQK
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXl4mSXUTR
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVymw5etAo
They ate together while joking and chatting.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpkmKe4zgy
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP001HJDz11
Jakarta was a busy and bustling city. In the Tanah Abang area stood a luxurious and elegant discotheque—one of the largest in Jakarta.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTj9u7Vw1u
From the outside, neon lights blinked on the building. Dangdut music echoed inside, playing "Kopi Dangdut," making anyone hearing it sway their body.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMwKUt6Ak1
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mg6a8BcQC
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdzXUoGRkw
The place was called:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFID25sNr5w
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveI3SanHtW
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNqUNimozm
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSnj4f7C91
On the same floor, there was an exclusive manager's office for Pak Handoyo, equipped with a biometric security door, reflecting elegance.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTnb2Xe4yQ
Not far from there, there was a CCTV operator room. It was small but filled with monitors displaying footage from every corner of the disco, ensuring all activities were monitored closely.
