5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dQCot0OvL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxrM0THybd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewNVOjuTyn
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBTK6zQSTq
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNHT85M8dA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkx88lki0i
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlItxIAy84B
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYhWz2J9Si
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkzgQQvuoP
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy8pDJSOa5
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWUKYhWLw
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidYPbFFu0F
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkbBeRlmCQ
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjw4ddggwa
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2L4HiFm9a
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwd6iP70oe
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8eEUlmLp2
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Q3MZvrrM
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbpFkbfVeb
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizrrjOhHF0
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4tWoxWCqq
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOJzQJuwFY
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJTMgCXKqh
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGqMJNdXh2
He cursed again.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78UpnZPV4H
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO9ttHXP9a
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDPv9g5AVS
Giono huffed in frustration.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgVvt7w6L0
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CQucYr0e8
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr45QgkyhdI
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GejfcMTik
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUXAxrFEPd
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5FSG91U1q
Giono: "Twin girls?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n2pJNKE5H
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCLjN3rwYE
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3gQOwCsWx
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILDKW2BWrw
Giono: "Outrageous!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC44NCqsmPB
Giono's eyes widened.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KuxfW9PvN
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVekQcvebPl
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM2tgTqoEI
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsClJJlvVu
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ6IK4rKbl
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjwDidOo55
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsbAqnJyy8
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCxT1DferD
Karto grinned like a horse.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnXNTGjNJX
Giono looked over all his men again.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW2yceEzX4
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSvgwShKfG
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZcxMK7js1
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD5PLHsmiW
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1MVUbgKN8
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaXOGCGspI
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WtYP13cKy
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIBdAYgKTc
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGyxFFH2Oz
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUFeYRDE2J
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zBvjs0srX
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd3bCCpvXV
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpjO18DutT
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgbNDQnW07
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCH4PGBx9i
Karto: "You look worried…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P5IoctCpq
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGkkm1zcz0
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpL0WtmwNy
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E5t2hM3IW
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a34FQjJXL
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8F0XQMtbl
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTTTon16i3
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwnA5zNroQ
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9qD9IGRJ4
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFlUpCnZk1
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGU4R77MBz
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGw8zO7M22
Tikno: "No information about killings."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2F0jEAH13
Turiman: "Why not?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlOIN0Tyig
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvINsLaZdHV
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXRtbNMHyF
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3KpGPtYu5
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uyTkEV577
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC5hmUB7al
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMflNL0dXan
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNLeSDrnIC
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKntSOitqw
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkgPnYtUi2
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYB7Cgvje9
Bang!
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQFlyJ0mEF
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwuN6blqZ8
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1gzKXxBeO
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H8Dfbm6ov
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfVYkk8I4N
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYLsKIeaKo
The Green Gang members laughed again.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJMzynySxp
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwOZlloc6w
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUmZHMlpIu
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpSMmblfA7
Karto: "We will fight!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS8Le3iYNZ
Tikno looked fired up.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pkO2B9lFb
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjRtFBmCno
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDlEav7Nw9
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMi8gjZn6z
Finally, Giono said slowly:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEicxaYe3rW
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUEdsoiXTR
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUGtgJqo2V
"Are you hungry?"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxMECLhBUT
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrFv8wGrvt
"Fried rice with catfish!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyQ7ZHZTRn
"Omelette rice!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡromIxmh1ln
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ910UokZFf
Their shouts echoed in the room.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0Rlym9vS7
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIQ5nATveH
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPkGwSJPoT
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu9mLK3Boi
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aPITPshlC
Karto started counting the 50 members.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT2qpmPBJ0
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGAkeleiIS
The room erupted in chatter.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9rAcqGORs
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDhBhqogdi
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicSHjj9UaL
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFLfG6IYuu
They ate together while joking and chatting.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dx1xDcaIW
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cSWnafZFx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKcC6rnJvm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2agH2IqlK
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAmuPOlbnF
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP1HbgGDpi
The place was called:
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSA41Ot6M1
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltpptkKbF0
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy116EqNrl8
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIOCsUGcZr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ro765fuWv
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.
