Bimo's Failure
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyVtL4YHqn
Kembang Setaman Discotheque.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYVqLbp6H2
Disco lights flickered. The DJ played "Kopi Dangdut."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzFDc2zzFb
On the top floor, a graceful woman sat in expensive clothes, a paper fan in her hand. She was the Grand Madam, Mariana.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bmVYrY5mo
In front of her, a glass table. On it stood a tall cocktail glass, cold and misty, with small ice cubes floating inside. A bent straw clung to the rim.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3roXKL9Ret
Several guards stood watch around her.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yDB5tnxWl
A tall, broad-shouldered man bowed respectfully.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAhY3D1odr
Broto: "Madam, it turns out Bimo, our sniper, failed to take out Nagini and Officer Burhan."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx5PfOVxdI
The woman with the paper fan only smiled.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSFsgqwSW2
Mariana: "I already expected that, Broto…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgSywbY4nf
Broto's eyes widened in shock. His voice trembled.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN26hYsgri
Broto: "You already expected it, Madam?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAjalsJJV9
Mariana took the cocktail, sipping through the bent straw. She nodded.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5pe6NMifo
Mariana: "From my clash of inner force with her in the Ramayana Mall basement, I knew Nagini was not to be underestimated…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHRdOBI9wo
Broto puffed on his cigarette, smoke curling from his lips.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v9K1KUQgp
Mariana: "Even without the needle, Bimo's bullet would never have pierced Nagini's body."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ruhd049ad
Broto's jaw dropped, uneasy.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjHpsIKXr0
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam? Is Nagini bulletproof?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h0cCyfXny
Mariana smiled at his shock, amused by his ignorance of pure inner force that could destroy anything.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeEySUXno2
Mariana: "It's not like that, Broto…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqauHEtSmy
Broto tapped ash into the glass ashtray.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSZghvQg26
Broto: "Then what do you mean, Madam?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9txVTJVv0Y
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is strong enough to stop a bullet."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ih2DlNYBM
Broto still didn't understand. He took another drag, exhaling slowly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpA3Y6HryP
Broto: "Then why does she use the needle?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtma5bC9N0
Mariana swirled her cocktail, playing with the bent straw, then chuckled.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVEiGb3cYU
Mariana: "The needle is only a small tool to channel inner force. Just like this paper fan of mine, Broto…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGAaLUbOHM
Broto nodded, starting to understand.

Eliminating Rani and Rina
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaMu2yJIhU
Mariana opened her paper fan and waved it slowly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DugwjDHbW
Mariana: "Broto, aside from Bimo's failure, how about the other targets? Were they successful?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFzw6rog2w
Broto stubbed out his cigarette, lit another one, and exhaled.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBxKnPobjC
Broto: "Yes, Madam. The corrupt cops—success. Arizal and Diono have been arrested for bribery and corruption."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfR3E24OWr
Mariana: "Does that involve us?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH2Lctqa1y
Broto: "Of course not, Madam. That was our cyber team…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcI1e0yMcw
Mariana smiled faintly behind her fan.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsO1bAfZVZ
Mariana: "Explain, Broto."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Xn2ddOR5
Broto: "They hacked into the Anti-Corruption Commission's site and planted proof of Arizal and Diono's dirty transactions."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDFS9IdX3U
Mariana smiled again.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLeatjbsHr
Mariana: "And what about the twins, Rani and Rina?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3g7p2bMYu
Broto inhaled deeply on his cigarette.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo21He1rtU
Broto: "I already sent Andika and three of his men to shadow them…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsN8K1DdG0
Mariana sipped her cocktail, smiling.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7waMDP3Dia
Mariana: "Good, Broto."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF71AHuLDh
Broto: "Andika and his friends are experts in nunchaku."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z8dN94JJL
Mariana: "Nunchaku? Two wooden sticks linked by an iron chain?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YYs96HRs2
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34FFyZZW2N
Mariana's fan waved lazily. She smiled faintly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcDxKzgBTI
Broto: "Pardon, Madam… what about Nagini and Burhan?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicFzYw5NVX
Mariana: "After Bimo's failure?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe1uY8w5wY
Broto: "Yes, Madam."

Taking Out Nagini and Burhan
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9e9SRTk4C
Mariana: "Eliminating Nagini and Burhan won't be easy, Broto…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rCJOgRxjZ
Broto kept silent, listening.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubwsS4yo0F
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is very high. She needs a worthy opponent."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVvzovawXw
Broto: "True, Madam…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooxMvnFVLt
Mariana: "Burhan, on the other hand, is an honest cop. It'll be hard for our cyber team to trap him."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nyv5HBnK1
Broto smoked quietly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaFPRPDadT
Mariana: "Any solution, Broto?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RX98doeI5
Broto frowned, sipping cold coffee.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wkcTVt2bd
Broto: "For Burhan… how about we hire Anton?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC6tcK292u
Mariana smiled thinly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8wbtMy13C
Mariana: "Anton? The ex-Brimob officer fired for beating his own commander?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jr2s1NnLC
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That Anton. He works as a security guard here now."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBefeixjiT
Mariana twirled her fan, sipping cocktail again.

Broto: "Yes, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m90C07zjH
Silence.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTUQFjK4WD
Mariana played with her fan. Broto smoked, his face uneasy.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eXCsAuuBY
Broto: "But Madam… what about Nagini?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6BhhWzo8E
Mariana: "You mean a worthy opponent for her?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCK6UK8bcV
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrMSJN0VVd
Mariana: "For that, I have my own plan."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnqnu2pyRY
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZBxVHLipW
Mariana: "Do you know the old twins, Durgono and Durgani?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKce24Rdk6B
Broto's eyes widened.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhlU9uqOsl
Broto: "You mean Gono and Gani—the karambit masters?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUD79tKpfP
Mariana: "Yes, Broto."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPylFzqlms
Broto: "Karambit… the small curved knife shaped like a sickle?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY5txDtq9k
Mariana: "Correct, Broto."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeunc2fT8zR
Broto smoked again.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BxnOgMNji
Broto: "Aren't they retired from the underworld?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ovvt1Frrm
Mariana didn't answer—just smiled faintly.

Sawitri at Kembang Setaman
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzK1QzhR8H
In the middle of their conversation, a young pretty girl approached Mariana.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF2M0b0EuW
Mariana smiled warmly, while Broto's eyes popped at her beauty, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RjJT635hz
Mariana: "Broto, mind your manners. This beauty is my guest."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcppOiL02W7
Broto: "Apologies, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkO1krkaAV
He quickly looked away.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3YghJjZX6
Mariana: "Don't be afraid. Come sit by me."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTOxa8fV0z
The girl sat shyly beside Mariana.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVpp9qKg7X
Mariana: "What's your name?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKfWPaBzX8
Sawitri: "Sawitri, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZoTjAwMZQ
Mariana: "What would you like to drink?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumVNGTmpHx
Sawitri: "Nothing, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKDNxwcxjZ
Mariana laughed lightly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyagmqBW1Ea
Mariana: "Broto, order an orange juice for Sawitri."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvl7nygmBi
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL7SESwK1R
He went to the bar.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJNWfgq6fW
Mariana: "Do you like it here, Sawitri?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZXYyTpxpL
Sawitri: "I do, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthbFOJ11fj
Mariana: "Good. Don't worry, no man here would dare touch you."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnMoLoO6xo
Sawitri: "Thank you, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLiSjtihJm
Moments later, Sawitri's orange juice arrived.
