5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF2PFz1xN5
The Green Gang's base was located in the Tanah Abang area. This gang was one tier stronger than the Red Gang.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPuPJCpopq
Inside the base, Giono—the Green Gang leader—sat in his chair. He was tall, burly, bearded, and had a habit of swearing:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkhxvG8foM
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tvjkE28lu
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvwH5Hun3p
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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd7dFJS69j
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEHuPJ8xRG
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2oWftygD3
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0ZZTKyLEp
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxhx7YQ5fZ
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uIscyB3Eh
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK44wpUZBZd
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAGwFhQPBq
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlpW30DpDS
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WgX1OmOc8
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDSYhKXRJ7
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQwFkPeUcH
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ3h1PMVF9
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJrShUEDKd
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1rY3ZLPTE
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Fg8jzg7P
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03kp8gGhLS
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbXK8ohby5
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrEUalnTHN
He cursed again.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfbU0aWur5
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOTGC1cbHJ
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrgyUuIzVa
Giono huffed in frustration.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai9R5MOKiP
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCPo00X18H
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG5hKjosSV
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpeu53UqVr
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOAU0shH5M
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVzotBzOFU
Giono: "Twin girls?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHvMhdj381
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0IrLiOoQ1
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY793SGIhr
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wJqFffv9A
Giono: "Outrageous!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0FpG1gfWk
Giono's eyes widened.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxl967Ggk1
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEG4JbuvJA
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGZnDMCnjn
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP9wJRE39L
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPuspVz7IH
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA4kJkJSwK
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM3GKy2s97
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ErhizuA6
Karto grinned like a horse.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdN3f0gL96
Giono looked over all his men again.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxw9c0YhWm
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSGbDJVay1
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrvcuR1dEv
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf6fCu3DLw
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr3M30TsAr
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86nuQT0G4v
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJMTypPNFB
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdsYoU7FIO
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ze0OThQHq
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99VwVk2dgN
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDlDB2xkJQ
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsriqXwAQX
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOVWx9kFuO
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFab5bVotY
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsvDD3sGCT
Karto: "You look worried…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbcKaVeus7
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJUkW68Thf
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08LfPdEqVO
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QchdbcZix
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY5hHoClQG
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKqaJsNg8Z
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAUNIyXloR
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ23hJMypdW
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYIEWwau1P
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx8NwJ9SEE
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4nIS0ZjFP
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHObGEjefRb
Tikno: "No information about killings."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5oxz17wkb
Turiman: "Why not?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigfPCYGzPH
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRwjn5XXnh
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70xSR7uXoO
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UAOinqq69
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpEeWHGPjP
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Sb7p0hst
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z35NACZc9
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcuIp1DjM6
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqug5iYJzcT
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgP78ZED3m
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5pnvDYcAD
Bang!
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesuWL3eopT
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqlKVomW86
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCYZhOjoau
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYPxOhvXxk
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Ng5RySWl
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTEBPEfdEX
The Green Gang members laughed again.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyUcvt2ehd
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHXc0VcxJQ
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFemjbU2KA
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4PwlLxQQZ
Karto: "We will fight!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdgHdCKjVf
Tikno looked fired up.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl9Kzrk2Z8
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WHaTWvStk
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyfzZZ5yPv
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHmScmZzFz
Finally, Giono said slowly:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sAon2Hb9O
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8P8wLkQJ4
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn1gV0XP02
"Are you hungry?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHuBp8DmEW
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF3vZVxn21
"Fried rice with catfish!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6wkrTk5x3
"Omelette rice!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGptesFutfd
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5CxL3RzCC
Their shouts echoed in the room.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTI7qg13Ng
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTPApFR9gp
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYfkoXMIfk
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCf41jJkzm
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaBSQy45UE
Karto started counting the 50 members.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeYS4RN2QQ
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8BeitE2fa
The room erupted in chatter.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnrjqaypjY
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrqLfYnZDf
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPzSUWuWKj
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYW3P7QIkP
They ate together while joking and chatting.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uNf8urTxA
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CJo2qsa0g
Jakarta was a busy and bustling city. In the Tanah Abang area stood a luxurious and elegant discotheque—one of the largest in Jakarta.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dS2R51COF
From the outside, neon lights blinked on the building. Dangdut music echoed inside, playing "Kopi Dangdut," making anyone hearing it sway their body.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJsGUONy38
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaafHEf1jgV
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3lJ5vgPd8
The place was called:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYfPgBDWth
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxZocKci5J
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8x60qj82a
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE6C3Tw7Dy
On the same floor, there was an exclusive manager's office for Pak Handoyo, equipped with a biometric security door, reflecting elegance.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxsijr4gBU
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.
