5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIJ7nH6nm3
The Green Gang's base was located in the Tanah Abang area. This gang was one tier stronger than the Red Gang.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUmeaSh2D9
Inside the base, Giono—the Green Gang leader—sat in his chair. He was tall, burly, bearded, and had a habit of swearing:
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTsWDSLf1G
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYGXRhj0CV
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMrdvqI3be
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3Bm1x9gDX
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6IpxBsOPS
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePwSeSZxeu
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJKTzLOBwd
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0G3vWu7aO
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3puNdDSETV
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS35ywE1vp
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj1kcjwIOE
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnP93rzbvd
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk7ApMFWg0
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fjHAVLwZT
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxRSRMqs2h
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF5qZ1Rtjc
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wG93tHSM0
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLpnUvODAq
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dz8tEFkB5
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmQjIB7miT
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytQnwxlG7d
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwJmm4B8wC
He cursed again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUYKjPEqoH
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFqvfLeX3A
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4qQpoz5Ua
Giono huffed in frustration.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoK404vA9A
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LrkIYqHdY
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxy0gIB04V
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtulteuTtg
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56eWGLR42a
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBre1zwiKj
Giono: "Twin girls?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAgmWDRnLU
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnWXi3RK4L
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEoRab6k9y
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TYUhZJiKs
Giono: "Outrageous!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtJP7SXYZK
Giono's eyes widened.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrgw1fxza1
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4HW4ufhe8
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouTphemmZz
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoexkXVcHY
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIdYdM38eX
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22GoUC3yI3
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRtj0ndTsS
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGOZTtQbCK
Karto grinned like a horse.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYLXAWv9EK
Giono looked over all his men again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDlLZdkKwD
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2SqdEcVtH
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOdqAjR6SZ
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv4VFYWcif
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9plLHWUZl
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItZoHOh8QA
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScrzSOpBWC
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6WliShqVM
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u9a5qq7O8
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAMUhGu9Av
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZOaPf4jw1
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVIHNhiSJZ
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDjUWArZMd
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeRR7sCJ51
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbavIVblWo6
Karto: "You look worried…"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcnSOJ5rwz
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO2jIVNnQk
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K4eoOsRhZ
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNrsHVbGr3
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRYgzPCTBZ
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMDFgioqdT
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkQK3uiIF6
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyhki477dA
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrvLO8ggie
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKYSKfE87q
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FgQNdgJqV
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIKhYiGqWW
Tikno: "No information about killings."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTLmTezdiI
Turiman: "Why not?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3f4DDCSlE
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtc7qNoHoq
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ3OoQQBgH
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmzxztx2xy
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sgvhMXqvl
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DJ0O5ZtV3
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d9VnXpIcK
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Pu2emhHD
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhd4JqkNEA
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiqbcFJeHT
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZaaHW9hiG
Bang!
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIPqUnYQii
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgdIrB0cVl
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QJeQSeucq
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTP7Da0qoz
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJax8rfi8B
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOqoT8bcE7
The Green Gang members laughed again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHBZKtw3e3
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w1rBR9rbj
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAWkFh4GBm
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNd4LZaVXM
Karto: "We will fight!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHtqwQ6quM
Tikno looked fired up.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gE4XYCBH7
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXKktDJDko
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJy1KxGCiA
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcJW08JScF
Finally, Giono said slowly:
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUUTirMx9X
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0auZy0bYQ7
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAgQlO81PT
"Are you hungry?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2tVWQvDfj
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDHRvW9LY9
"Fried rice with catfish!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoBIqXnWyd
"Omelette rice!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEATgfjyRv
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfYkmxFbbp
Their shouts echoed in the room.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJkRkUK66s
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsZVz7OA17
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIRej43SdB
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUMzJUkHCr
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFgiGI7rxu
Karto started counting the 50 members.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKxZPagHZu
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7j5aVKsPC
The room erupted in chatter.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h4cOA5kgj
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeqgLtEGlL
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOrIm4HTb4
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXp74EhqON
They ate together while joking and chatting.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKrcQ1nyxS
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe7ICiIWCB
Jakarta was a busy and bustling city. In the Tanah Abang area stood a luxurious and elegant discotheque—one of the largest in Jakarta.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG7WYcvZWp
From the outside, neon lights blinked on the building. Dangdut music echoed inside, playing "Kopi Dangdut," making anyone hearing it sway their body.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCtK1OI7Yo
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK22PpRIQzS
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J7GadyRmg
The place was called:
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdEo90UJGA
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwUfaiqqTf
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3svbKimFW
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNNVQ4NPWy
On the same floor, there was an exclusive manager's office for Pak Handoyo, equipped with a biometric security door, reflecting elegance.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpTrj1aWpG
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.
