Broto: "Madam, many of our assets in Jakarta have been frozen by the government."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1CISbSeEf
Mariana: "Yes, Broto. Not just our assets—many of our people have also been arrested."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDUQ0sEvkm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr1414ujCc
Broto: "Madam, we should lay low for a while."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PJzbe7JhH
Mariana: "I'm no coward, Broto."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEfCU2s77t
Broto took a clove cigarette with a "234" label.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVzmFuZUPc
Broto: "But Madam, we're up against the government."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX1mD18sjb
Mariana: "I know, Broto..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ58K1eklUn
Broto fell silent for a moment. He struck a match, lit his cigarette, and inhaled deeply.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTAwRLBRPp
Broto: "We really should lay low for now, Madam..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzZwsmGS5d
Mariana took a sip of her cocktail and opened her paper fan.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk5TGC0jjB

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK8SjCqhPT

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2MNjdlttf
Mariana: "We will fight back, Broto."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAOmjnMgiY
Broto inhaled again, his face showing hesitation. Fighting the government? Yet in front of the Madam, he dared not resist.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPVPQhds6g
Broto: "Yes, Madam. We will strike back."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYItj9WWMbC

Broto: "Ready, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxy1kSqMSK

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnroJ0U7X5
Mariana: "Are our snipers in position on the surrounding buildings?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBMgav83yu
Broto: "They're ready, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8FPLlmHFD
Mariana looked satisfied.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFM7ZKOHAJ
Mariana: "What about the helicopter? Is it ready?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLSRzNSrV5
Broto: "All ready, Madam. The helicopter is on the roof of the tallest building."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzcs9NeZLW
Mariana smiled faintly, taking a sip of her cold, condensation-covered cocktail.

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAKPH7WVs8
Mariana: "Broto, they've targeted us, frozen our assets, and tightened the squeeze on our business."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznm24oE1qm
Broto: "That's right, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSpg50KXfd
Mariana: "We will punish those who make things difficult for us."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldBbzWuRhO
Broto inhaled his clove cigarette again.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjZtqluJoC
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9xWGfPJTZ
Mariana: "We'll target them in return—freeze their assets, freeze their accounts."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswfId1SaRo
Broto exhaled smoke and tapped his cigarette on the ashtray several times.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcW50U8zPx
Mariana: "Can you do it, Broto?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAeGytW2fT
Broto: "Of course, Madam! We have a cyber team, don't we?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVCgkpuUFj
Mariana: "Do you know which top police and KPK officials are leading the operation against us?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ600l8Xq1qY
Broto: "Of course, Madam. We'll find out..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sAhRHWXxJ
Mariana: "Investigate whether they've been involved in corruption or bribery."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUe3P9PvrR
Broto wiped cold sweat from his forehead, his face uneasy about Mariana's plan. His voice trembled.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UKCdxli4X
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevF8XcBSQY
Mariana: "Check major companies, like Pertamina and the mining sector, for links to them."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGrMFy16Z6
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJobAD0n7u6
Mariana played with her paper fan, then sipped her cold cocktail.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMww3kHsCfn
Mariana: "Can you do it without linking it back to us?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtc9lkDRbA
Broto took a deep breath.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlXcyiZrpE
Broto: "Of course, Madam. Isn't that how Arizal and Diono came under KPK investigation?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzBhyZ60u8
Mariana: "Exactly."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w6tMTsVi3
Broto: "Our cyber team provided information on Arizal and Diono's fake accounts—without exposing us."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRsTTLrjGE

Bimo, the Deserted Kopassus Sniper
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvNi0CRVGJ
Mariana looked exhausted. Her beautiful face showed anxiety. The paper fan opened wide.

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61pNv3irJL
Mariana: "The problems we've faced lately are exhausting."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfFeSH0k2J
Broto: "True, Madam. Government officials are starting to suspect our business."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ofA8o4m9C
Mariana didn't react. The fan moved slowly in her hand, her face calm.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3kzM0Ti6U
Broto: "They've frozen part of our assets. The raids keep coming."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcCtnLU1KM
Mariana stood up.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuvxLYL9xr
Broto: "And most recently, they blocked our shipment of female workers to Thailand and arrested Captain Kuntadi!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8TEw6KNLM
Mariana: "According to our informant, did that involve Nagini and Officer Burhan?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJIlPrQuV8
Broto nodded.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen2uvrocSY
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That was their doing."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoI5JjrFX6
Mariana frowned in annoyance.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsagx0KFuZo
Mariana: "Nagini, the man in the red jacket—the one we met in the Ramayana Mall basement?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCXQa8znXQ
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyMKG9YQ4R
Mariana: "Nagini was strong enough to block my fan strike on the twins, Rani and Rina."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprBq4XK8zg
Broto nodded again, inhaling deeply.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl0bYNTkgb

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibQkJS8cuN
Broto: "Yes, Madam. He works for us now."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqOqWSw57q

The Real Mariana
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPcyR6J1Yv
Mariana opened her private room with a fingerprint scan. Once inside, the door closed and locked automatically.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXyaCvp9Fi
She walked to a large vanity mirror and sat, staring at her reflection.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVE0HDvtpS
Mariana looked at her face—beautiful, calm, with a faint smile hinting at unshakable resolve.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENfnBpvNiP
Slowly, she removed her long-sleeved blouse, revealing muscular arms like a female bodybuilder.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvNMKVd6FV
The pronounced muscles contrasted sharply with her soft, golden-brown skin and delicate facial features.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4U7j4ivHs
Mariana took a tissue and wiped off her lipstick, revealing her natural lips.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g4Kxhkhsn
She stared at herself in the mirror again, silent and still.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsq7vnDVCr
Then she rose from her seat. Her hands trembled faintly, a reddish glow surrounding them…
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJchPV4Rnec
The room grew hot.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScOyL5YB74
The paper fan in Mariana's hand hardened into steel.
