Bimo's Failure
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtI7yCecsj
Kembang Setaman Discotheque.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB9TdoobpZ
Disco lights flickered. The DJ played "Kopi Dangdut."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f3trFx8mg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx08ff35jG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgXx6gDeF4
Several guards stood watch around her.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsa6syEisG
A tall, broad-shouldered man bowed respectfully.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc54oeYz0XY
Broto: "Madam, it turns out Bimo, our sniper, failed to take out Nagini and Officer Burhan."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqkS0e16Ia
The woman with the paper fan only smiled.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27rVIracaR
Mariana: "I already expected that, Broto…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb93Xs4qm8
Broto's eyes widened in shock. His voice trembled.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz7Q74AQRI
Broto: "You already expected it, Madam?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx81j8lpu4t
Mariana took the cocktail, sipping through the bent straw. She nodded.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTwR0oVhmn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t3u5kSe2e
Broto puffed on his cigarette, smoke curling from his lips.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ168TpMwfG
Mariana: "Even without the needle, Bimo's bullet would never have pierced Nagini's body."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEhMgQcjYm
Broto's jaw dropped, uneasy.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKMjncegad
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam? Is Nagini bulletproof?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKspnaeDQk
Mariana smiled at his shock, amused by his ignorance of pure inner force that could destroy anything.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQonfFS6S0Z
Mariana: "It's not like that, Broto…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aZ7eQ5t3s
Broto tapped ash into the glass ashtray.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriW1RrlSB0
Broto: "Then what do you mean, Madam?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uoah73Lvm
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is strong enough to stop a bullet."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9CO9na77S
Broto still didn't understand. He took another drag, exhaling slowly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeFb4wgqNG
Broto: "Then why does she use the needle?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2LV7foptC
Mariana swirled her cocktail, playing with the bent straw, then chuckled.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskVDtapUZ1
Mariana: "The needle is only a small tool to channel inner force. Just like this paper fan of mine, Broto…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQstU2G06m
Broto nodded, starting to understand.

Eliminating Rani and Rina
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9hc47Ych2
Mariana opened her paper fan and waved it slowly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJsBF7NuiW
Mariana: "Broto, aside from Bimo's failure, how about the other targets? Were they successful?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDWTc0ms1b
Broto stubbed out his cigarette, lit another one, and exhaled.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ksbaOFlVn
Broto: "Yes, Madam. The corrupt cops—success. Arizal and Diono have been arrested for bribery and corruption."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTh7Uu2qGS
Mariana: "Does that involve us?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dT47oDjWt
Broto: "Of course not, Madam. That was our cyber team…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysWR9Vhp90
Mariana smiled faintly behind her fan.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb4I7EngbW
Mariana: "Explain, Broto."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf51hGJljx
Broto: "They hacked into the Anti-Corruption Commission's site and planted proof of Arizal and Diono's dirty transactions."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36xzGaUY6N
Mariana smiled again.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxd9LU7772
Mariana: "And what about the twins, Rani and Rina?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jkDyDgAdQ
Broto inhaled deeply on his cigarette.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKAN1JFwEt
Broto: "I already sent Andika and three of his men to shadow them…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUTE44WGEj
Mariana sipped her cocktail, smiling.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseAw08AwHJ
Mariana: "Good, Broto."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKLynoTGgg
Broto: "Andika and his friends are experts in nunchaku."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK7CzDhE7X
Mariana: "Nunchaku? Two wooden sticks linked by an iron chain?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBT1JPQ2w9
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGG9gzTafb
Mariana's fan waved lazily. She smiled faintly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDx3CXzkpq
Broto: "Pardon, Madam… what about Nagini and Burhan?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIMFsuZvqe
Mariana: "After Bimo's failure?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHdCyEvtrC
Broto: "Yes, Madam."

Taking Out Nagini and Burhan
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUiAvacfHf
Mariana: "Eliminating Nagini and Burhan won't be easy, Broto…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc1wlIciOn
Broto kept silent, listening.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC2GQxN0tQ
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is very high. She needs a worthy opponent."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6OnUwTiQf
Broto: "True, Madam…"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzTcYeDanh
Mariana: "Burhan, on the other hand, is an honest cop. It'll be hard for our cyber team to trap him."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqKkH7Ptrf
Broto smoked quietly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPsM9cYir4
Mariana: "Any solution, Broto?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATE3it4yKL
Broto frowned, sipping cold coffee.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejc1xU9sxo
Broto: "For Burhan… how about we hire Anton?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1PxktT26y
Mariana smiled thinly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0X2MP8iC3
Mariana: "Anton? The ex-Brimob officer fired for beating his own commander?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeBrUEEvgL
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That Anton. He works as a security guard here now."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7OrrpQvUd
Mariana twirled her fan, sipping cocktail again.

Broto: "Yes, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT6dGmFA7P
Silence.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI59UjuDcP
Mariana played with her fan. Broto smoked, his face uneasy.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rZNUzsXgs
Broto: "But Madam… what about Nagini?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqyofRFbX7
Mariana: "You mean a worthy opponent for her?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJl5MYzXIn
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GO9xvCVYz
Mariana: "For that, I have my own plan."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoraPOnI85P
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fN76L9c2w
Mariana: "Do you know the old twins, Durgono and Durgani?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy50XHuouf9
Broto's eyes widened.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wGVGk3WoO
Broto: "You mean Gono and Gani—the karambit masters?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6TfD03EN9
Mariana: "Yes, Broto."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABX0mr0JDe
Broto: "Karambit… the small curved knife shaped like a sickle?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW0aKohx1G
Mariana: "Correct, Broto."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEkcnHZPOC
Broto smoked again.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSavgDxas4
Broto: "Aren't they retired from the underworld?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TgCFQRwOF
Mariana didn't answer—just smiled faintly.

Sawitri at Kembang Setaman
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiP02K7wGH
In the middle of their conversation, a young pretty girl approached Mariana.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoN88yy6Pl
Mariana smiled warmly, while Broto's eyes popped at her beauty, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA2iBFHau7
Mariana: "Broto, mind your manners. This beauty is my guest."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzGFUnLFLb
Broto: "Apologies, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLAJda4rAR
He quickly looked away.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJnxQODlJo
Mariana: "Don't be afraid. Come sit by me."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFlvZdiCwT
The girl sat shyly beside Mariana.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpHGMlfy6H
Mariana: "What's your name?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtkJwhn9Gc
Sawitri: "Sawitri, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLRSVq3QNQ
Mariana: "What would you like to drink?"
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOu7i5xMDo
Sawitri: "Nothing, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL2HoJWpCX
Mariana laughed lightly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO70Ub8PRM7
Mariana: "Broto, order an orange juice for Sawitri."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWjoE1txWN
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ddoPZkVcs
He went to the bar.
