5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0JymwiP6M
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXLJcSGhpk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtwVBZrLu2
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgFoOL4yxB
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Ooo0Q5DL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlliPrlmcv1
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIanEHIiUGb
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw5dw3e5At
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSNg89Nw3m
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZG9UPSbwe
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLS2UkJUnx
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsQKJpBCLj
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtMpH976t0
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH6igpU5VE
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqCjoN2kfd
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHx7kB3Eui
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0fUYYB4fO
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspJJU3GXsV
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGWcwReHNV
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK08ke3B1Fu
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB159bBqGu
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy7zT9BIU2
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvXctNUVME
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtf4f4UrmL
He cursed again.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz2oP9RBRe
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFWPzw6cOp
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aCVoNZhdf
Giono huffed in frustration.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLxc9Yrp56
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJkeaXRC5r
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs8t3uqWTf
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO1ybJIXqX
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXFI2Ut0MY
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9oW11kwyM
Giono: "Twin girls?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZkIzFKb7S
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoy9o4ePWB
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ441H9zyV5T
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xRtAm8ROj
Giono: "Outrageous!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCUrSqggFC
Giono's eyes widened.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c7W2zOGyM
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEx9sqe1XW
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj55xN4H2g
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6p1r6vkGO
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9JpItmxai
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4zoQSKLF7
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGo9Z6GgEh
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOGSHO8eZd
Karto grinned like a horse.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlWiJHgEl8
Giono looked over all his men again.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJvlGcKITg
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4i7vYs4Hd
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlpEVhppn5
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnod2qKfSPh
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToHtHZZoNW
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pcLROmSRH
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIvuIWZ9BL
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSttP583oAQ
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI46wcg2UzW
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9wdepsKui
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2JjoeZI2O
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzou3vzqyz
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQtsiqrCjU
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhCLPL0aLu
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZLSe8Ausl
Karto: "You look worried…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd02yqMEOF2
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv1xvpKaY6
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhndFt6s9d
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf7Yex18tn
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPTZk1rbRJ
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv5z7LlqwQ
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleJ20JlQBP
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj6954wI3x
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvgry9WvQ8
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGDUf83uVq
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc3OPDpg27
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHmXMvkuqS
Tikno: "No information about killings."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyYaq1UFno
Turiman: "Why not?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBIyhkyNT5
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2jM7ZJlAH
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqSEbZD9PA
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnZZeY1yrF
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyssmJMz0G
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMfS9FDZAN
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjSGmV2fnS
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWngLMw2UmB
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z8fyR5V7c
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoHH1p6UwG
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPtLlC31MA
Bang!
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60sEE3iP1O
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWWorHGVck
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggfhEUuCs0
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk22kRvaD2a
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi16S278uKd
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2pC3f9CgB
The Green Gang members laughed again.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhBRFniAZt
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7BskFsspN
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCycIwDNkF
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR21OEG6Mvc
Karto: "We will fight!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFVyBdOWPa
Tikno looked fired up.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaT00Z2ODk
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoB3zxu55F
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKBgkhlF99
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzKKOcnXWo
Finally, Giono said slowly:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAaBzst5xV
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5hTqUX99C
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlgR3bSI6K
"Are you hungry?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6xJ56DFQR
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxReiSMrfY
"Fried rice with catfish!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVQzqWd47c
"Omelette rice!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk12IMoqY4U
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa4w136yqr
Their shouts echoed in the room.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkbRA6rWUg
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m5KwcLVos
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNK0XdnGBv
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r4Qir5698
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9jrUeNRPz
Karto started counting the 50 members.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwVzNBh5Au
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYml1zVyHq
The room erupted in chatter.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInXl2jSvuF
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehpceECboo
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitacL7fkO9
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAhCZjXTxk
They ate together while joking and chatting.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrEsr2TV9T
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShpsuoGLS1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrN97m13qD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOg6PFyj1V
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoy2tTILtH
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc9NAwtgqA
The place was called:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqTpUjeYiA
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTzJLUyIJ1
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9HyITEnK9
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeYk1JRrq1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAmZrOCLgB
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.
