5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZaKQL4jh7
The Green Gang's base was located in the Tanah Abang area. This gang was one tier stronger than the Red Gang.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mcDBSEM8I
Inside the base, Giono—the Green Gang leader—sat in his chair. He was tall, burly, bearded, and had a habit of swearing:
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGHpCE95mO
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNnPKvG7EU
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltDotZVmTg
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhtOAOKPUR
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR1BWqoZ7r
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozkoDxMaEd
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5s5YdvDra
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR2xcvomCR
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMCh5jfHYj
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLSCyjQige
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MRqwKAlr8
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYB0txC3dN
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYgLuDKVFP
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgzSD7OYjc
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafChwIxNSG
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8ZylXYYfu
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Gow5QRco
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ApwFVOtU
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3QgEaAjJs
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYv2KMZbH5
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nrUY5HhoT
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIjOJ5PFNA
He cursed again.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE64VwSwFeT
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2H1DOnZgk
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc7rBFsoA5
Giono huffed in frustration.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUR9X1LCci
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZiQIL0B2p
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyB0U9BNMJ
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBh8HkqYGe
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkxP9HXTw1
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8yj7npxHT
Giono: "Twin girls?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRlwxMowih
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z1bSh9I4J
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXnsO3OYfy
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc9t4FaM2f
Giono: "Outrageous!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLgyum88Rp
Giono's eyes widened.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJgPghNHIx
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pryw6PLDE
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZD12J74Eg
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKgRpBRQ31
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq8wslnSnY
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mk3JfYfLH
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlLKvQId0c
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbZmx9W6lk
Karto grinned like a horse.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW7F5zc04Z
Giono looked over all his men again.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXbDu7bg7R
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd5D0lwakG
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMtoBhNttB
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAQD1YGUzp
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoe97D1fdn
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJbsvLVsZe
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgrHhx3FKl
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1JPrUrabh
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WDY8TpSYF
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChie2kfExQ
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMHCLgoigm
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA72Nh58rF3
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqjFgzVyHf
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8wUlaCQt5
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtsvnWmMiQ
Karto: "You look worried…"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH6ExkqD3Z
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BQrY7HDHz
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lHg8DdqjA
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu60w07JVn
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl35iNWiYxl
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9T0ekHNQt
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1IabfVQkP
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o0jEq2cqW
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj7cyjOdw0
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlubxZ1UPzG
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0slpv6lPe
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkImLA9jRIp
Tikno: "No information about killings."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWa2oBAooe
Turiman: "Why not?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lx836lx4F
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ccgp8VuSh
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXZRjp3WGZ
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq3lbGxkki
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlS8FcqGtH
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1kdBhXpDR
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9np9bmkHG
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30HX9ccZsI
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H0jM8tKg4
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXfeYgJVzn
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1llfLkJ3Nf
Bang!
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMm0HQWoVh
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq5jJAGVa7
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoA7rwLypo
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWu69lFPXk
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWxsOMqyVZ
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQpAcewvmU
The Green Gang members laughed again.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wIzRgeCUP
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC94qvM07Hh
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMXCrmKVu0
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOYzTgteI5
Karto: "We will fight!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvMiYtCVu6
Tikno looked fired up.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH6Wz5w9oy
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXknAOKbqbb
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAEALs4sxv
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGZbmIdFhW
Finally, Giono said slowly:
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLnIjFSiKT
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGMcmrBwnm
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4kAuevO9x
"Are you hungry?"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcYO3Rp23M
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LxLVsPOYf
"Fried rice with catfish!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB3Rs2ffSP
"Omelette rice!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR4ht50GxK
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMGRO1oMCp
Their shouts echoed in the room.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpmQhKEsk8
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzh5jE5Zbz
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtenQPEP0g5
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocxIKtvjpX
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGfbupvtZT
Karto started counting the 50 members.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmaGbHdeI5
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSkfYlqo87
The room erupted in chatter.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWdOJoyjfH
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeJbK7I4ID
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFxSY9nQ9H
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQd0jxhk1V
They ate together while joking and chatting.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHWMzaPn5M
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbbMV4gSIh
Jakarta was a busy and bustling city. In the Tanah Abang area stood a luxurious and elegant discotheque—one of the largest in Jakarta.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy4pDHs1Zr
From the outside, neon lights blinked on the building. Dangdut music echoed inside, playing "Kopi Dangdut," making anyone hearing it sway their body.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2INNn9aXAz
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGz1rtIldT
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0iJt2goId
The place was called:
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW11P39us4
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9xe0Hr2KI
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM84yGXXlM
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBVa4zzBny
On the same floor, there was an exclusive manager's office for Pak Handoyo, equipped with a biometric security door, reflecting elegance.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiR4DwqncC
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.
