Broto: "Madam, many of our assets in Jakarta have been frozen by the government."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySWGj3g8Tj
Mariana: "Yes, Broto. Not just our assets—many of our people have also been arrested."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08rRTMXvc0
Mariana shook her head anxiously. Her paper fan closed, tapping on the table in front of her. The glass of her favorite cocktail remained untouched.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDNxqkM6oZ
Broto: "Madam, we should lay low for a while."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoo75qPn4f
Mariana: "I'm no coward, Broto."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqV6Y0pPK8
Broto took a clove cigarette with a "234" label.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZMAngeywb
Broto: "But Madam, we're up against the government."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1aBB56px2
Mariana: "I know, Broto..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KtuyqqRYP
Broto fell silent for a moment. He struck a match, lit his cigarette, and inhaled deeply.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDnYTqcpLc
Broto: "We really should lay low for now, Madam..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimryjaPyCN
Mariana took a sip of her cocktail and opened her paper fan.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGWGDqL78U
Mariana: "Before laying low, we will strike back, Broto."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvEsFfnYHl
Broto gasped, eyes wide, exhaling smoke.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12OhFRRkty

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQxwQeFLtV

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aghUz3TAe
Mariana: "We will fight back, Broto."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4wHvDUR62
Broto inhaled again, his face showing hesitation. Fighting the government? Yet in front of the Madam, he dared not resist.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK0FmK51x1
Broto: "Yes, Madam. We will strike back."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SR5WHpQgy

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ahTnDSJci

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KdQ6qdhoG

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡortSUpqQPc

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlHFUscSFv
Broto: "Ready, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOyE58p2hd
Mariana smiled sinisterly. The paper fan opened in her right hand, while her left index finger tapped lightly on the table.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tL5A8Wtke
Mariana: "Are our snipers in position on the surrounding buildings?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKjdR67ddC
Broto: "They're ready, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5lNRsXPe9
Mariana looked satisfied.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw7z9WmwIq
Mariana: "What about the helicopter? Is it ready?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f7VvdnCeI
Broto: "All ready, Madam. The helicopter is on the roof of the tallest building."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYGMzANUlE
Mariana smiled faintly, taking a sip of her cold, condensation-covered cocktail.

Mariana Strikes Back
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj2CyVYb3B
Mariana: "Broto, they've targeted us, frozen our assets, and tightened the squeeze on our business."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH562Xiia9
Broto: "That's right, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFgi6fqqvo
Mariana: "We will punish those who make things difficult for us."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fTJFBjYS3
Broto inhaled his clove cigarette again.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ2AsOSuQD
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7QPYPdOr6
Mariana: "We'll target them in return—freeze their assets, freeze their accounts."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8svAHdMZWK
Broto exhaled smoke and tapped his cigarette on the ashtray several times.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp2YWhr8S2
Mariana: "Can you do it, Broto?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfZ85yg5SL
Broto: "Of course, Madam! We have a cyber team, don't we?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDdy6Me2fa
Mariana: "Do you know which top police and KPK officials are leading the operation against us?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkXRuxZV0b
Broto: "Of course, Madam. We'll find out..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybw7vfs4oZ
Mariana: "Investigate whether they've been involved in corruption or bribery."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoidzmJlGsB
Broto wiped cold sweat from his forehead, his face uneasy about Mariana's plan. His voice trembled.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZByMfMk7Yr
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuB5hSNRV7
Mariana: "Check major companies, like Pertamina and the mining sector, for links to them."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCJmtD3sxy
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx3hrQ3Mo6
Mariana played with her paper fan, then sipped her cold cocktail.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWW7MIYiLR
Mariana: "Can you do it without linking it back to us?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b9ZYqAQPa
Broto took a deep breath.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFlLGBVatH
Broto: "Of course, Madam. Isn't that how Arizal and Diono came under KPK investigation?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptLV6ZlbA7
Mariana: "Exactly."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlRQ97rxp4
Broto: "Our cyber team provided information on Arizal and Diono's fake accounts—without exposing us."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3GjnhBY5Y
Mariana nodded, satisfied.

Bimo, the Deserted Kopassus Sniper
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitnDMMGC9n
Mariana looked exhausted. Her beautiful face showed anxiety. The paper fan opened wide.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypBEr0mT6L
Mariana: "I need to rest in my private room."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iAUxjPUg0
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf2VyrpLcE
Mariana: "The problems we've faced lately are exhausting."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V061fQUfS
Broto: "True, Madam. Government officials are starting to suspect our business."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwtKYpLADw
Mariana didn't react. The fan moved slowly in her hand, her face calm.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRKok8jSkM
Broto: "They've frozen part of our assets. The raids keep coming."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5clK0cVOr
Mariana stood up.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqjKVTmwxN
Broto: "And most recently, they blocked our shipment of female workers to Thailand and arrested Captain Kuntadi!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakiI9YX01B
Mariana: "According to our informant, did that involve Nagini and Officer Burhan?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxfCjkUy7G
Broto nodded.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrRzgHEPXG
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That was their doing."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqItjrKnbCe
Mariana frowned in annoyance.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVxrw5VEso
Mariana: "Nagini, the man in the red jacket—the one we met in the Ramayana Mall basement?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWlKEwqHNJ
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPmuOhfet9
Mariana: "Nagini was strong enough to block my fan strike on the twins, Rani and Rina."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGeebiBPNb
Broto nodded again, inhaling deeply.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4qvJwljtb
Mariana: "Can you deal with them, Broto?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LaT9xKw33
Broto: "Of course, Madam. We'll deploy our best sniper."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmxkkMN1NO
Mariana: "You mean Bimo?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ628wwEO7Il
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCLN8oiCtS

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ATxzyF3WW
Broto: "Yes, Madam. He works for us now."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0p1AOsm73
Mariana smiled faintly, then turned toward her private room.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd0IZCwXOr
Mariana: "Broto, make it as clean as possible..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxevnuib3xv
Broto nodded.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5J4vSVJpM

The Real Mariana
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtN34WOHaY
Mariana opened her private room with a fingerprint scan. Once inside, the door closed and locked automatically.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4U18NQyDB
She walked to a large vanity mirror and sat, staring at her reflection.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA6WeE3t9G
Mariana looked at her face—beautiful, calm, with a faint smile hinting at unshakable resolve.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwphEG62h4k
Slowly, she removed her long-sleeved blouse, revealing muscular arms like a female bodybuilder.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbML9LQMUxQ
The pronounced muscles contrasted sharply with her soft, golden-brown skin and delicate facial features.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6puhGxrOp
Mariana took a tissue and wiped off her lipstick, revealing her natural lips.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx9PIIBZwy
She stared at herself in the mirror again, silent and still.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMKApsqvpa
Then she rose from her seat. Her hands trembled faintly, a reddish glow surrounding them…
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6lxv7uK2u
The room grew hot.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWTWoXIW46
The paper fan in Mariana's hand hardened into steel.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsGtObkHa1
Mariana had unleashed her inner energy.

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68kDRu75cX
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg7SFSrDFX
Mariana: "What is it, Broto?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctihOJ8MyH
Broto inhaled deeply, then exhaled smoke slowly.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaV2irbTbT
Broto: "Arizal and Diono have been arrested by the KPK on suspicion of bribery and embezzlement of police funds."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PjVM8A1o5
Mariana smiled faintly. Her fan opened and moved slowly.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83egx2E0h7
Mariana: "Good, Broto."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVCSVeff7Y
Broto: "That was our cyber team's work. They set up Arizal and Diono."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRojPXng7kl
Rifai appeared briefly, whispered something to Broto, then left.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOYZCgsdKd
Broto: "Madam, several senior police and military officers working with us—besides Arizal and Diono—have also been arrested."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjwmbzwmXz
Mariana gave a thin smile, her eyes shining brightly.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7hIkey6ZU

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sDBX4KEqZ

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3olYr4FlfS
Broto: "Our cyber team is doing an excellent job, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzbLO01Ggr
Mariana: "Good, Broto."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgYicvq2AF
