Coffe Ritual
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxqPV8FFd1
Bang!
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fvXZURPnz
Crash!
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMThYsqhdL
Giono kicked the table in front of him. Pieces of wood splintered, scattering shards across the floor. A glass of coffee teetered on the edge before spilling, leaving dark streaks across the carpet.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp932AgloIm
Packs of Sukro-brand peanuts and Djarum kretek cigarettes tumbled onto the floor with soft thuds.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvP8fZpxzp
Giono stomped back a step, his chest rising and falling like a bellows.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLmzmcblCN
Giono: "Weladalah! Weduus! Wedus!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQf8p3msjy
His eyes blazed red, veins standing out on his temple. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms, trying to contain the storm brewing inside him.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeSkWG1MWh
Fifty of his men bowed silently, backs stiff, hands clasped, not daring to breathe too loudly.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xz8mO9QJj
The Green Gang headquarters suddenly fell into an almost eerie silence. A few ceiling fans spun lazily, as if afraid to disturb the tension.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rHRCngLSV
Giono: "Karto! Make coffee! Quickly!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3ql0IBqEF
Karto jumped, nearly tripping over a fallen peanut pack.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFraKJTNli
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMJgE1IHQx
Quick-thinking Turiman stepped forward, snapping his fingers at two men.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0nfMVjvwz
Turiman: "You, Parto, and Suraji, bring a new table in front of the boss!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpeJSHIqjk
The two men scrambled, dragging a fresh table. One of them stumbled over a splinter, wincing before recovering.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsV71M7waY
Giono: "Karto, don't forget! Make it bitter!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpbdupS2xv
Karto saluted hastily, almost tipping over a chair.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZoGd6Ud04
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDHPxWm7Jh
Giono: "Two spoons of coffee, half a spoon of sugar."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBgBAua1or
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWHWvFmXlC
Giono: "Stir it eighteen times. Not less, not more!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf5KDsPjYA
Several Green Gang members snorted quietly, trying to suppress smiles. A bead of sweat trickled down Turiman's forehead as he glanced nervously at Giono.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q4qWi1RkK
Karto dashed to the kitchen, returning a moment later with a steaming cup of bitter coffee. The aroma hit the room, sharp and intoxicating.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCfSmg3eT0
Slurp!
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquhpTlVjB0
Giono: "Weduus! Perfect, Karto. Two spoons of coffee, half a spoon of sugar, stirred eighteen times…"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVFyTIyQpI
Some men wiped tears of suppressed laughter from their eyes.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORGQFDFgN0
Giono lifted the cup, inhaling deeply before taking another sip. His shoulders relaxed, chest rising and falling more evenly.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef0Ax7vgQE
Blood circulation slowed, his head cleared. The anger that had boiled inside him seemed to settle like sediment in a cup of coffee.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OblgfmTTB
He tapped the side of the cup lightly with his finger, eyes scanning the room, calculating, plotting. His voice softened, but a sharp gleam lingered in his gaze.

Mariana's Cunning
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbIyFWQhzC
Giono: "Weladalah… This cannot be tolerated! This is outrageous!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAclzUbGpwT
His men remained motionless, hands hanging by their sides. Some chewed their lips nervously.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0sFhBMkhe
Giono lit a cigarette, inhaling deeply. Smoke curled around his face, accentuating his furrowed brows.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13vEkVl8fC
Giono: "Danu, tell me what happened at Kembang Setaman Discotheque! "
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQgCgSZiTH
A security guard, shoulders hunched, stepped forward. His hands trembled slightly as he fidgeted with his cap.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzHjwI7rPe
Danu: "It happened very quickly, quietly, and silently."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJAfJxyYLN
Giono leaned forward, elbows on the table, his fingers drumming lightly.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1toRLmYsnM
Giono: "What do you mean?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKpXiIsUe9
Danu swallowed, eyes flicking to the floor.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc34rW0e7VO
Danu: "There was no resistance. Until finally, Handoyo voluntarily handed over the disco to the Big Lady."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn04tRD3Im
Giono: "Weladalah… Then?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbErYuhwQd
Danu: "They threatened Handoyo's wife and children."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNmlNi7Ir9
Giono's eyes widened. Smoke escaped his mouth in jagged streams. His hands clenched into fists on the table.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ5yknAwPI
Giono: "Weduus! The Big Lady is truly cunning!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYhYSVSTwT
Danu: "Her bodyguards were also armed."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14DFUtEtod
Giono sipped his coffee, tapping the cigarette against the ashtray with a sharp clink. He leaned back, staring into the half-empty cup.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiOCQuGurk
Giono: "Hmm… And?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cguRpuiZ3
Danu: "No chaos. Even the regular visitors stayed calm, as if nothing happened."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxtDi3Sd9k
Karto, hands behind his back, nodded grimly.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wk4V35gOU
Karto: "Kembang Setaman Discotheque, owned by Handoyo, is one of the Green Gang's biggest donors in Tanah Abang."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoAu2lpp2F
Turiman slammed his palm against the table, sending a small cloud of coffee steam into the air.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA3BPs9GMV
Turiman: "This cannot be allowed!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSloduyZxbd
Fifty Green Gang members erupted in chaos, bumping into one another as they waved fists and shouted.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1D9h0mnRD
"Take back what's ours!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhiGb7iUid
"Let's fight them!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1FiDdptMG
"Let's beat them up!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC3UxHAzjO
Giono inhaled deeply, letting the smoke curl lazily from his lips, his eyes scanning each member, weighing their energy and loyalty. His cup of coffee was half-empty, yet he savored it as a balm for his brewing temper.

Storming Kembang Setaman Discotheque
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbAqr9IFvp
A man stepped forward, shifting his weight nervously from one foot to the other. His gaze avoided Giono directly. This was Kardun.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxBunq1nCD
Kardun: "Everyone is ready to storm Kembang Setaman Discotheque!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r6ZtaP8u1
Giono studied him, noting the slight trembling of his shoulders. He was nervous… or afraid.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefOzrmUKVu
Closer inspection revealed Kardun's eyes were slightly cross-eyed, darting away from direct confrontation. Yet there was a spark, a glint of determination, hidden behind the wandering gaze.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TjBPWFN0I
Giono smiled faintly, curling one corner of his lip.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAxyvGEbIH
Giono: "Are you ready yourself, Kardun?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZEyYhoWje
Kardun's eyes flicked to the ceiling for a split second.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB5kYcOScY
Kardun: "I'm ready, Boss! As long as the others are ready!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJlx7vPE6Z
Turiman leaned closer, eyebrow arched.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j0CMqIUWs
Turiman: "You're scared, Kardun?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f4ZMqopcz
Kardun grinned, revealing a slight gap in his teeth. Eyes still partially averted, he gave a shaky thumbs-up.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqvtztzp1K
Kardun: "If we attack together, we'll win!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv772Bsd66
Karto stepped closer, folding his arms.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4GAUKwIGZ
Karto: "What if you go alone?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAiBI5nPXk
Kardun glanced around, chest rising with nervous excitement.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmEOdB8D5O
Kardun: "If I go alone… better for me to go to the hospital instead, Boss!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOChQvhtVg
The room erupted in laughter, some men clutching their stomachs, others slapping tables.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKjcY81rh5
Turiman shook his head, chuckling.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51fySOAzyt
Turiman: "Are you afraid of bumps?"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVjSd3O4xH
Kardun grinned broadly, finally lifting his gaze to meet Giono's.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c8RwNCqii
Giono looked at him, tracing the subtle focus behind the wandering eyes. He nodded approvingly.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJaFRzPmAc
Giono: "Ladalah! Good… good…"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvNsSubdLt
He scanned the room. Fifty of his men were bouncing on their heels, fists clenched, brimming with energy.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPynm3EWDz
Karto: "Let's reclaim Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UZ2rqjG1w
Turiman: "Let's return it to Handoyo!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwnb1DIJxs
"Agreed!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7QnrzRHvh
Fifty voices thundered in unison, echoing off the walls:
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpD4ydfwhl
"Long live Giono!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqvmWeGdlM
"Long live Giono!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEdY2K2HGc
Giono's lips curved slightly, proud. He lifted the dregs of his bitter coffee and swirled it in the cup.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbAmOdWSwz
Giono: "You, Karto, prepare the weapons!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7iscZzSC3
He exhaled a thick plume of smoke, letting it drift lazily toward the ceiling.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpu8vdzISD
Giono: "And you, Turiman! Prepare ten vehicles to transport our people!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQSDfEIZgs
The men erupted again, some pumping fists, some slapping each other on the back.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpUbLstZt4
Giono: "Alright! Tonight we storm Kembang Setaman Discotheque!"
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqzLbXXPTi
Cheers and laughter mingled, echoing throughout the headquarters, carrying excitement, tension, and a trace of humor.
