13-1: Detective Action by Burhan
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaqeft5In4T
Burhan followed Nagini's steps from behind, gripping his pistol tightly and aiming it forward, ready to shoot.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA25YoVOCGkA
Burhan: "Nagini, I will take down the two guards patrolling beside the warehouse."
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnAQ8nCGOYK
Nagini looked at Burhan without reacting. Her face appeared tense and worried.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAruMhycMRTw
Burhan: "Don't go in yet, Nagini! Wait for me to take down the two patrolling guards."
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOnKV98e9C8
Without waiting for an answer, Burhan immediately moved to the side, creeping silently. His pistol was aimed forward, ready to fire at any moment.

13-2 Capturing the Guards at the Kangkung Gang Base
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlJTCtEIjrU
Burhan stealthily approached the side of the warehouse.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAiYMX5W4J70
At the end of the warehouse, under a dim light, Burhan saw two guards patrolling separately.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1zjzuvBYgz
Burhan sneaked closer to one guard standing under a five-watt light.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAR2mUUrkvG7
The guard was smoking while holding a phone.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAu6fnmtSNTv
Guard 1: "Ready, Boss. We've secured the girls."
67Please respect copyright.PENANAAEX1ffgC37
He took a deep drag from his cigarette.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlSUOfY6qIX
Guard 1: "Yes, Boss. Some of the selected girls have been secured at Tanjung Priok port."
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFTCkShcZxt
The guard was silent, taking another deep drag.
67Please respect copyright.PENANALbSnOqY3Mh
Guard 1: "Yes, Boss. They will be sent to Thailand for work."
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4lX7WMSNT0
He listened to further instructions, then hung up.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGJTvbt5HPq
Suddenly, the guard felt a sharp pain in his neck and lost consciousness. Burhan had struck him with the pistol butt.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAqte4a5v5Zh
Burhan silently moved toward the other guard.

13-3 Catching Up with Nagini
67Please respect copyright.PENANA84klEpt3P3
Ahead, Burhan saw the other guard standing in the dark. His eyes stared at his phone without blinking.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWVlSvthzGJ
His face was tense, looking at the phone screen. He smoked irregularly.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAzmBsZB4Qgt
Burhan got closer. He heard sighs coming from the guard's phone.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJsKXSGdLPS
Turns out, the guard was watching a porn video.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKgmEsACH9b
Burhan crept up and struck the second guard's neck with the pistol butt.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0w5aY30pAn
The guard collapsed unconscious, dropping his phone.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA136SsXKZRT
Burhan took the phone and turned it off. His face twisted slightly in discomfort seeing the scene on the screen.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAgxMVDTlUeX
He immediately headed forward to look for Nagini.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAksMSpC87Kl
The place where Nagini was supposed to be was empty.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAa0w2eLj7SQ
The front door was open.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAwnEXcugmTA
Burhan became instantly alert. He was very worried Nagini had gone in alone without waiting for him.
67Please respect copyright.PENANADjaUZN3bdp
Without hesitation, Burhan ran toward the front door.

13-4 Spying on Sawitri's Kidnappers
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4n9w21EmH
Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, four guards sat around a table, playing cards.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAcldCba6FlH
On the table lay scattered several bottles of beer, cigarette packs, an ashtray full of butts, and a large pack of Sukro-brand peanuts.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAUEsOfEjy7E
These four guards matched the descriptions given by Marni, Jono's wife.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA18yfDcLCtC
They were Nano, Udin Peyek, Bejan, and Bandi Hulk.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAzUdO1V7lEA
Nano tossed a small card onto the table, smiling.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1NawvAVf7P
Nano: "Your turn now, Udin!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1t6O3GJUQR
Udin peyek: "I pass, boss!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAIozn55cUlI
Nano: "Bejan! Your turn!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAgGnDgcTSiV
Bejan threw down a card, stacking it on Nano's.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaM7FHUCCP0
Nano: "Bandi! Your turn!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAafNFzxANT6
Bandi Hulk: "I pass too, boss!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAbUY1x2wLXO
Turns out, they were playing gaple (an Indonesian card game).
67Please respect copyright.PENANAeZTtfEyZ44
They laughed happily, smoked cigarettes, downed beer, and snacked on Sukro peanuts.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAB0cCmor9gi
Not one of them noticed that two of their comrades had been knocked out outside.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAB3SloSWJDx
In the back room, behind a locked door, several girls sat anxiously. Their faces were fearful.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAcrhwM65GiD
Some were quietly crying.

13-5 Taking Down the Kidnappers
67Please respect copyright.PENANAYIo0uM3AJ8
Suddenly!
67Please respect copyright.PENANABts53ZU58U
Bang!
67Please respect copyright.PENANAesCc0GJCos
The front door was smashed open, flying toward them and hitting the table with beer and Sukro peanuts.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxoc9b19S7n
Clang-clater!
67Please respect copyright.PENANAS1x54YKFyy
The four jumped to their feet—startled, shocked, and a bit scared.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfIGb8UvpCe
Their eyes widened.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJOsp2DwAVD
They saw a woman in a red leather jacket standing with her hands on her hips in front of them.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAL13xhmdBlH
Only then did they realize the door was kicked down by the Red Jacket.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6UzHfUJVgm
Nano, the most experienced, quickly drew his pistol and aimed it at Nagini.
67Please respect copyright.PENANArMEuObJmrw
Nano: "Who are you, daring to cause trouble here?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANARMkZz0j0qC
Bejan: "You're a pretty woman. How dare you come into the tiger's den!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZFOSR0xgQ0
Udin Peyek: "Aren't you afraid of becoming our cook?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAXNfwA1s3dr
Bandi Hulk: "Aren't you afraid of becoming our girlfriend—all four of us?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAsFsIdBJjjA
The three, following Nano, drew their pistols.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAbLUYU6K2Xo
Nagini didn't react. Her eyes gleamed fiercely. Her hands tightly gripped poisonous needles.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA2hskfQSRmw
Nano: "Hey, answer us! Or you'll become our fritter batter!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGxW77TEfAO
Bejan: "We're not only called the Tigers in Geng Kangkung, but also the Crocodiles!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8CTmrHJWVK
Nagini smiled to herself, amused by Bejan's words—between tiger and crocodile—but it didn't hide her anger.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAd1MTgfA0bh
Udin Peyek: "Boss, better make her the cook! Let her cook for us!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGReyhiQDhi
Bejan: "So we don't have to waste energy buying food from the warteg.
67Please respect copyright.PENANApQH0P3acF4
( Warteg: cheap Indonesian street food stall, short for Warung Tegal.)
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8ANH08XEi7
They chuckled, underestimating her.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAwFI3Qzok8u
Bandi: "Boss, permission? I'll just make her our girlfriend. Someone this pretty, it's a pity to make her cook..."
67Please respect copyright.PENANAbOxqnNmrMz
Nagini still didn't respond.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAUAgB9wO7sU
Udin: "You've got a crush, Ban?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7FseTx27u
Bandi smiled shyly.

67Please respect copyright.PENANASbCfKAirpJ
Nagini: "Where are you hiding the girls you kidnapped?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmpv1YZcwxM
Nano and the three others exchanged glances, then chuckled.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4m2Ead8SJx
Nano: "So you're looking for them."
67Please respect copyright.PENANAbHQZHxpyhR
Udin Peyek: "Are you family?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAvvEXgPkGsL
Bejan: "Are you a cop?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANADDdi22MOeG
Bandi Hulk didn't react. His eyes sparkled as he stared at Nagini. He was clearly smitten.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA48fnl3OaLT
Nano: "Judging by how you kicked down the door, you must be part of the police intel team."
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMvHCP5Xgv8
Udin Peyek and Bejan started to take Nagini seriously.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAr9RFfGjUN6
But Bandi Hulk wasn't paying attention. His lips curled into a smile as he gazed at Nagini.

13-7 Nagini vs. The Kidnappers
67Please respect copyright.PENANAibTBJGyz9j
Nano began to grow suspicious because the two guards patrolling outside hadn't returned.
67Please respect copyright.PENANASaaafsSLx0
Nano: "Who sent you?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4meUHnABis
Udin Peyek: "You must be a cop!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0FX3Rzv1Ro
Bejan: "You're definitely a Densus 88 assault team member!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQcSou5sw38
Bandi kept smiling, biting his lip, staring dreamily at Nagini.
67Please respect copyright.PENANANt4SPS8qMP
Nano, Udin Peyek, and Bejan started aiming their pistols at Nagini. They were only three meters away.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAiOQ18tg1Q1
Meanwhile, Bandi Hulk's heart softened even more, captivated by Nagini's charm.
67Please respect copyright.PENANApvh0TbRHCL
Seeing the very dangerous situation and knowing a gunshot could go off any second, Nagini grew more alert.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEAZxQWyWeC
Her hand began to tremble. A faint blue glow appeared at her wrist. The needle in her hand was clenched tightly.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAbHTe7aTrc4
Because they were so close, even if the bullet wasn't stopped by the poisonous needle, it still wouldn't pierce Nagini's body.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAG4PpoZs2zC
Nagini had released a high-level inner energy, enveloping her body in an invisible cold aura.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAhKPdpm7Tso
The cold aura could be felt by Nano, Udin Peyek, Bejan, and Bandi Hulk.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEeA0NzyQHU
A coldness like an iron shield.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdsVQtcml5b
A coldness infused with mystical power.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA2EVOqtKbTA
Nano, Udin Peyek, Bejan, and Bandi grew uneasy. Their bodies suddenly felt cold.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAks6LbeJgaK
An unusual chill that made their sweat break out and their hair stand on end.

13-8 Nagini's Fury
67Please respect copyright.PENANAYMv5kvMBJK
Nagini: "Hey, Shrimp Crackers! I'll ask you one more time, where are you hiding the girls?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANApHA5hbKaCa
Nagini pointed at Udin Peyek, calling him "Shrimp Crackers."
67Please respect copyright.PENANATKDRCuA85t
Udin Peyek flinched, offended.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAqmFHqavxNO
Meanwhile, Nano and Bejan smirked, trying not to laugh; indeed, Udin was skinny and bony—perfectly nicknamed Shrimp Crackers.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnTGAFubPAV
Bandi Hulk couldn't hold back his laughter.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEnZSuf1ANb
Bandi: "One pack of shrimp crackers, Din! Two thousand rupiahs."
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8WLVA5LBIH
Udin Peyek glared at Bandi Hulk.
67Please respect copyright.PENANABLskdQ5MuY
Nagini: "And you, Mr. Bodybuilder! You keep glaring at me. How about showing me where the girls are hidden?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOkKWThXUfw
Bandi Hulk was happy to be addressed by Nagini.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxhKWVZXP3r
Udin Peyek burst out laughing; indeed, Bandi Hulk was short and stocky, and his shirt was too small.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKSPvwcZoaM
Meanwhile, Nano and Bejan whispered to each other.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7rlQgDbvqZ
Bejan nodded.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGaJRja4AnO
He lowered his pistol, put it back on his waist, then approached Nagini.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfPl1TKaQ9K
Bejan intended to grab and subdue Nagini for interrogation.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5wMzjVfdwc
With bare hands, underestimating her, Bejan moved forward, ready to grab Nagini's arm.

67Please respect copyright.PENANA8KGvtWjV9g
Bejan moved forward, feeling the cold aura growing stronger. His movement felt like cutting through a whirlwind.
67Please respect copyright.PENANACc9TbVGYqB
Bejan's right hand tried to strike forward, aiming at Nagini's face.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJlt3kyNOWE
Before Bejan's plan could be completed, Nagini's left hand moved very fast.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEj0w14undg
Smack!
67Please respect copyright.PENANAsOPah4K4dp
Bejan staggered to the side like a kite with a broken string; his right cheek swelled up big, turning blue as if suffering from a toothache.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4lRXgywhCO
Thunk!
67Please respect copyright.PENANAK667rRtXkP
Bejan's body fell onto a chair beside Nano.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7EoUqxSUvu
Nano, Udin Peyek, and Bandi Hulk were wide-eyed, full of questions.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4oFalq8BlF
Nano glanced briefly at Bejan groaning in pain.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAR5kcjENNDn
Nagini: "And you, Mr. Sitting Elephant! You must be the leader of these guys?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAl6GOopctQ6
Nagini pointed at Nano, who was tall and big-bodied with a scarred cheek.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMdx1Gg2ZwD
Now Bejan, Udin Peyek, and Bandi Hulk grinned knowingly. They knew "Sitting Elephant" was a sarong brand.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOrBgk8XDs2

"Don't move!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtjw275j149
Nano, Udin Peyek, and Bandi Hulk simultaneously turned toward the front door. A sturdy man with a buzz cut was pointing a pistol at them.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAu1kkd4T7Et
Nano: "Police!"
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKpZDgzXgEv
Udin Peyek and Bandi Hulk panicked immediately. They whispered to each other.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJCHLnwYjhu
Udin Peyek: "Police, Ban! Remember when we got arrested before?"
67Please respect copyright.PENANA13YA86gbnV
Bandi Hulk: "Yeah, we were locked up and beaten."

The four panicked men exchanged glances — a mix of fear, surprise, exhaustion, and anxiety.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6uJv1GYlbn
Yet, Nano, Udin Peyek, and Bandi Hulk still aimed their pistols at Nagini and Burhan. Their eyes were desperate, reason struggling to overcome panic.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAjyJ0YDfwHU
But they dared.

67Please respect copyright.PENANAzJsNYAvyaP
Nano and Udin Peyek's bullets sped toward Nagini, while Bandi Hulk's bullet was aimed at Burhan.
67Please respect copyright.PENANARAObiUQYB7
Nagini, alert and wielding a high-level inner energy with a cold aura, swiftly released three needles. Two needles deflected the two bullets heading her way, and one needle was aimed at the bullet flying toward Burhan.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkV83YgqUFg
However, the close quarters made it nearly impossible for Nagini's poisonous needles to precisely hit the bullets. Indeed, two bullets were faster; Nagini's needles passed through empty space where the bullets already flew.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4HqRvYPwMx
The two poisonous needles continued their path, accompanied by a chilling breeze, smashing into a cabinet in the room.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAUVDGeGXNvC
Crash!
67Please respect copyright.PENANAshv2Gp4hUd
The cabinet shattered to pieces!
67Please respect copyright.PENANAro2RJx7gfE
Meanwhile, the two bullets kept flying toward Nagini. The high-level mystical inner energy cloaked Nagini's body in a bluish cold light.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8TbTxuT3Q3
The two bullets that bypassed the poisonous needles continued flying as if piercing through a strong wind.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAP8JuIAeHJr

Burhan looked pale, barely escaping death.
