Bimo's Failure
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO594Zl6G7
Kembang Setaman Discotheque.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkTFVvEUKM
Disco lights flickered. The DJ played "Kopi Dangdut."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuReVc9sI7D
On the top floor, a graceful woman sat in expensive clothes, a paper fan in her hand. She was the Grand Madam, Mariana.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Tj3bIilA
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.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o17Z3yybJ
Several guards stood watch around her.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsgjmavOHG
A tall, broad-shouldered man bowed respectfully.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ouCXaXXmt
Broto: "Madam, it turns out Bimo, our sniper, failed to take out Nagini and Officer Burhan."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyVwW7Vj9w
The woman with the paper fan only smiled.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58uIsYbqDk
Mariana: "I already expected that, Broto…"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF7Z1SB8G0
Broto's eyes widened in shock. His voice trembled.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKCvQ7JrUj
Broto: "You already expected it, Madam?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4B2dPSwXe
Mariana took the cocktail, sipping through the bent straw. She nodded.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4KcU4zcby
Mariana: "From my clash of inner force with her in the Ramayana Mall basement, I knew Nagini was not to be underestimated…"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6zQIiCJSL
Broto puffed on his cigarette, smoke curling from his lips.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zlEx6sl7g
Mariana: "Even without the needle, Bimo's bullet would never have pierced Nagini's body."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzOmRXuKgB
Broto's jaw dropped, uneasy.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiNkxCH6K0
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam? Is Nagini bulletproof?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHEhQa5ScJ
Mariana smiled at his shock, amused by his ignorance of pure inner force that could destroy anything.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJXDBBx9Dw
Mariana: "It's not like that, Broto…"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Fx6nfMoW
Broto tapped ash into the glass ashtray.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppiIIbd0sb
Broto: "Then what do you mean, Madam?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3bofwPbtP
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is strong enough to stop a bullet."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP3hthmrVL
Broto still didn't understand. He took another drag, exhaling slowly.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHWCVGmWnA
Broto: "Then why does she use the needle?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEqxMkUHxl
Mariana swirled her cocktail, playing with the bent straw, then chuckled.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aB1Vnpbew
Mariana: "The needle is only a small tool to channel inner force. Just like this paper fan of mine, Broto…"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bs1XkeaOb
Broto nodded, starting to understand.

Eliminating Rani and Rina
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tuSOWrZQE
Mariana opened her paper fan and waved it slowly.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa5gGyAh2Z
Mariana: "Broto, aside from Bimo's failure, how about the other targets? Were they successful?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTlRfXBs1d
Broto stubbed out his cigarette, lit another one, and exhaled.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD0T16L03P
Broto: "Yes, Madam. The corrupt cops—success. Arizal and Diono have been arrested for bribery and corruption."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3eCfxDUgF
Mariana: "Does that involve us?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HdPcTzbNg
Broto: "Of course not, Madam. That was our cyber team…"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppAABS7JDG
Mariana smiled faintly behind her fan.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1cvl9HYlV
Mariana: "Explain, Broto."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5L0qH3OQR
Broto: "They hacked into the Anti-Corruption Commission's site and planted proof of Arizal and Diono's dirty transactions."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLoUp4AWjP
Mariana smiled again.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPxyI45v5B
Mariana: "And what about the twins, Rani and Rina?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy4kG8t8n5
Broto inhaled deeply on his cigarette.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL45W4OerEE
Broto: "I already sent Andika and three of his men to shadow them…"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhziYj8tXyY
Mariana sipped her cocktail, smiling.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKw0lYgadm
Mariana: "Good, Broto."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrTOt8CD8V
Broto: "Andika and his friends are experts in nunchaku."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrY7X9MkR1
Mariana: "Nunchaku? Two wooden sticks linked by an iron chain?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ97E9UFLCE
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBzS4QnJ4a
Mariana's fan waved lazily. She smiled faintly.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGu7gAwGol
Broto: "Pardon, Madam… what about Nagini and Burhan?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjJRAgaNEi
Mariana: "After Bimo's failure?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghWqKQjvgt
Broto: "Yes, Madam."

Taking Out Nagini and Burhan
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXS5QUTQ6Y
Mariana: "Eliminating Nagini and Burhan won't be easy, Broto…"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RwKuD0Zua
Broto kept silent, listening.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJlXXZjQVx
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is very high. She needs a worthy opponent."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIpNMnwrGj
Broto: "True, Madam…"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcpkMwX1tv
Mariana: "Burhan, on the other hand, is an honest cop. It'll be hard for our cyber team to trap him."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF2JgwvMGn
Broto smoked quietly.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbjujLJ4qr
Mariana: "Any solution, Broto?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhlOSlHOU5
Broto frowned, sipping cold coffee.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIcS4KD8Lr
Broto: "For Burhan… how about we hire Anton?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5VjoDJBCT
Mariana smiled thinly.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHC8MzpGGY
Mariana: "Anton? The ex-Brimob officer fired for beating his own commander?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWX82lAg9p
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That Anton. He works as a security guard here now."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy96lvZRgg8
Mariana twirled her fan, sipping cocktail again.

Silence.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9GrAodbDI
Mariana played with her fan. Broto smoked, his face uneasy.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYJuWWTGJv
Broto: "But Madam… what about Nagini?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRrBluUA6s
Mariana: "You mean a worthy opponent for her?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwZvfxUeUe
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWsuHbX2jC
Mariana: "For that, I have my own plan."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjA6mzIf0a
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYypGEnh8S2
Mariana: "Do you know the old twins, Durgono and Durgani?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjCBUCBF9X
Broto's eyes widened.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH0f1Zb3GL
Broto: "You mean Gono and Gani—the karambit masters?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdmd25ePoY
Mariana: "Yes, Broto."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq4rHR7s09
Broto: "Karambit… the small curved knife shaped like a sickle?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmliIoSSjaB
Mariana: "Correct, Broto."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRsiLr9BZb
Broto smoked again.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnDNDv3H9o
Broto: "Aren't they retired from the underworld?"

Mariana didn't answer—just smiled faintly.

Sawitri at Kembang Setaman
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIMXd2lIo2
In the middle of their conversation, a young pretty girl approached Mariana.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA7YphUSfH
Mariana smiled warmly, while Broto's eyes popped at her beauty, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WfVLt35vj
Mariana: "Broto, mind your manners. This beauty is my guest."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe6pmYMSOU
Broto: "Apologies, Madam."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9S4sGHu8X
He quickly looked away.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYBnwRjAYw
Mariana: "Don't be afraid. Come sit by me."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hjljKaq26
The girl sat shyly beside Mariana.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrU7MQxv3O
Mariana: "What's your name?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2ebH2U5sO
Sawitri: "Sawitri, Madam."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqczQJl6Qi
Mariana: "What would you like to drink?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xWCZKdRbH
Sawitri: "Nothing, Madam."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzzs3sxMKS
Mariana laughed lightly.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRfN243l1B
Mariana: "Broto, order an orange juice for Sawitri."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLYOuVStb1
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEURsiHgS6Z
He went to the bar.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEqxJ8VOFC

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JIUWHlCBt
Sawitri: "Thank you, Madam."
