3-1 Nagini Meets Inspector Burhan
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1hg6qnufcR
Police sirens wailed in the distance, heading straight for the Red Gang's hideout.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAIFJucmMgC3
The place was eerily quiet—most of the gang members had already fled, either from Nagini's furious attack or from the wooden clubs of local youths who had had enough of the gang's extortion and intimidation.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAaGfnwakG6m
The young men were now guarding several gang members Nagini had beaten earlier at Jono's rented house.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ68WPDaGp
They groaned in pain, unable to move.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAjpoF4UcNmv
A clean-shaven man in a crisp police uniform stepped out of the patrol car, eyes sharp as a hawk.
His name was Burhanudin, rank: Inspector (Iptu).
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1D0GNTkwud
Several other officers also emerged from the vehicle, all in full uniform.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAQDpEwBrvUH
Inspector Burhan walked into the crowd, scanning the battered thugs lying on the ground.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAbDPNyHJODN
Burhan: "Can someone tell me what happened here?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAprTonl0Z0N
A young man named Budi stepped forward.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZyrelJotg
Budi: "Sir, these are the Red Gang! They tried to attack Mr. Jono, but Sister Nagini beat them all up!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAeKvXJGGlB8
Burhan glanced at the woman in red standing with clenched fists.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAsAhKkLrHEg
Burhan: "So you're the one who did this?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANApJtcJrFZYG
Nagini: "Yes."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAj071I7CVjC
Budi: "They've been terrorizing the neighborhood for ages, Sir!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXlyz6z9TuD
Another young man, Saridin, chimed in.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA2nbihaFxo4
Saridin: "They've caused nothing but trouble for everyone."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWTy8SpD0JP
Budi: "If it weren't for Sister Nagini, we'd never have dared fight back."
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0013jnD3EW
Burhan: "So your name is Nagini?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA88qeDuHTQL
Nagini: "Yes. My name is Nagini."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXAALzW0lS5
Burhan looked back at the two young men.
120Please respect copyright.PENANArFQsoubrhr
Burhan: "I've wanted to throw these guys in jail for a long time, but they're slippery."
120Please respect copyright.PENANABV9PdfJfdv
Budi: "Everyone would be happy if they got locked up."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAIEhkKPxKQa
Saridin: "No more extortion disguised as 'security fees.'"
120Please respect copyright.PENANATEQBBilyDv
Burhan: "Yes, they'll be in prison for quite a while."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiqXuKj5JJi
Then Burhan studied Nagini carefully, as if sizing her up for questioning.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPJBBYKFSAO
Burhan: "You're not from around here. Where are you from?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0iVNP9vA0I
Nagini frowned slightly, answering hesitantly.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWUJy13igy4
Nagini: "I'm not from this era."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAcCK7GyxH1b
Burhan held back a smile. As a police officer, it sounded absurd and amusing to hear someone say they weren't from this time.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA9zZqyX8Zjw
Burhan: "From the era of kingdoms?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAwpbJ54usPz
He joked.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAsjsg1D0fmD
Nagini: "Yes."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAl04fSzQRQt
Burhan couldn't contain his laughter, convinced she was just joking.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAkV9yalq7Mh
Burhan: "You sure you're from the royal age?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA51GtnN1Bkl
Nagini: "Yes!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAse9E3qtPdo
She insisted, though looking a little awkward, still trying to hide her confusion in this modern world.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAeuK7bukoqj
Burhan chuckled until his eyes watered.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAt1pBg1gZvi
Burhan: "You're funny. And strange."
120Please respect copyright.PENANA7J3TlTv9hl
Nagini: "You don't believe me?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0MirRenh6x
Burhan just laughed again, then changed the subject.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA2AFNEyGEKU
Burhan: "Alright, miss, I've got plenty more questions for you."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAhY8PZ1Q2Hi
Nagini simply nodded.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3AwCqP8adM
From that night on, their relationship slowly grew closer.

3-2 Pondok Gede Indah Apartment
120Please respect copyright.PENANAmMaSTO4oqo
Burhan: "Nagini, you'll stay here for now."
120Please respect copyright.PENANApqmoxCkAYe
Nagini stared at the tall building he pointed to.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAg48CK6j70V
At the very top, a large sign read: Pondok Gede Indah Apartment.
120Please respect copyright.PENANACHojECxM2W
Nagini clicked her tongue in amazement at the strangeness of this modern world—tall buildings, cars, bustling crowds, and people cursing in the streets.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA6DaGP9JlvL
Burhan parked in the basement and they both got out, heading for the elevator.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8yq7R4HG3a
Burhan: "Come on, Nagini. Let's get you registered at the reception."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAuxD8S8emfz
They went up to the first floor and approached the front desk. A young woman greeted them. Burhan read her nametag: Karmini.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXqHV1cJkKo
Karmini: "How can I help you, Sir?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAlqCvrFUSlz
Burhan: "Do you have a vacant room?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8G4d6xESWM
Karmini: "Yes, Sir."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAB8IvHnCdYt
Burhan: "We'll take one."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZncRHbaLaJ
Karmini looked between Nagini and Burhan.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAVwFcOMbvFs
Karmini: "Husband and wife?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAnLJohxSHkT
Burhan: "No."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgQRACLj4Or
Nagini looked puzzled at their exchange.
120Please respect copyright.PENANATZnuq2vmRv
Karmini: "What do you mean, Sir?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAGlY4bBSPHQ
Burhan: "For my work partner."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKA6EXD3PmA
Karmini smirked slightly.
120Please respect copyright.PENANADLb2UzTjbT
Karmini: "Oh… so you're work partners, not husband and wife?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAvz4HZ4fBVJ
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances. Nagini blushed, Burhan looked sheepish.
120Please respect copyright.PENANACO7gzmgRyN
After completing the paperwork, Nagini received the key to unit 21-2B.

3-3 Nagini, the Red Jacket
120Please respect copyright.PENANAAxCjkGjvia
After setting up the apartment for her, Burhan took Nagini for a tour around Jakarta.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAQdifbEYkS0
He was behind the wheel of his white Avanza, with Nagini in the passenger seat.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZjlQhyV8Rb
Earlier, he had bought her new clothes—still red, of course.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAsfNaoTfiqB
A red leather jacket, black stretch pants, and white Eagle sneakers. She looked both stylish and modern.
120Please respect copyright.PENANArbFP6fun8U
Burhan glanced at her.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKfLPIgnNMf
Burhan: "Beautiful."
120Please respect copyright.PENANA13QN5lSWAy
Though a police officer, Burhan was actually the son of a wealthy businessman.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAOmeU9ZEWsf
Burhan: "Do you like your new clothes, Nagini?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAUD3cWtxeyI
Nagini: "You mean this red leather jacket?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAT5QdTrsIoQ
Burhan nodded.
120Please respect copyright.PENANACf86z49cZB
Nagini: "Of course I like it, Burhan."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAlBKyXr98I4
Burhan smiled, his mood lifting as they drove toward a café.

3-4 Burhan, Nagini's Grandson
120Please respect copyright.PENANACMZ6Aaw5UI
Burhan: "I'm taking you to a quiet, romantic café."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAeEQ9snLey6
Nagini glanced at him, then nodded.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxi9nQuaMJi
They parked in front of the café and walked side by side.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoEXbsesXH4
Burhan suddenly stopped, holding her hand tightly, and looked deep into her eyes. His voice trembled slightly.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA63Vyxq44rW
Burhan: "I like you."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAtLsr4ySPKI
Nagini was a bit startled.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoqm95NJmh3
Nagini: "Are you sure?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyK57vf6Kpn
Burhan: "Why do you ask?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANALJdThZ8kBR
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, the royal era."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYIMMQXcloM
Burhan: "You've told me."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZdlacUUHMx
As a logical police officer, Burhan didn't really believe it. Time travel was the stuff of fiction, not police reports.
120Please respect copyright.PENANASsNHYOCxGc
Burhan: "And I don't care."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfZqjAWn2An
Nagini smiled faintly, knowing he probably didn't believe her and was just teasing.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2LFFkDHLs
Nagini: "In this time, I should already be your grandmother."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAcg1jqb7C8N
Burhan chuckled. The "grandma–grandson" joke might actually hold some truth—Nagini had jumped nearly five centuries forward, so Burhan could indeed be a descendant.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAbT3yeH7tq6
Burhan: "But you've never been married. How could you have grandchildren?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAUpDWvMIKya
Nagini playfully swatted his back.

3-5 Kemang Raya Cafeteria
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8pRM6Dmtm
The two of them then walked back toward the large building of a café.
Before entering, Nagini read the sign above the door that said:
120Please respect copyright.PENANACL9IRMAtA6
"Kemang Raya Cafeteria."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAcFCWSXdpp9
Kemang Raya Cafeteria was an elite café, a gathering place for the rich and well-established.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAQzV2MeoHJ8
Wealthy businessmen, council members, government officials, police officers, and university students often mingled here.
Some came to talk business, politics, or art,
but most just came to show off their wealth: luxury cars, sparkling jewelry, and branded goods.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4HN3q9aWZG
The luxurious and elegant atmosphere could be felt in every corner of the café.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiMWSKBtw9U
After enjoying the view from outside, Burhan and Nagini entered Kemang Raya Cafeteria.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMiPiT5dlre
Burhan had already reserved a table, so they went straight to their seats.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXIsdVVYpNF
Burhan: "Waiter, come here."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAjLGg2Ui10v
A young waitress approached.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAbtpjVq0NeB
Waitress: "What would you like to order, sir?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAqIkZVLJfv7
Burhan pointed at the menu and opened it.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAFoZS60sLXQ
Burhan: "This drink. Two of them."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAuu3ivHK8Gv
The waitress went into the kitchen. Moments later, she returned carrying two large glasses of fresh orange juice.

3-6 Armed Robbery
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgEZTw1ynHq
Burhan and Nagini were chatting about Jakarta. Nagini asked many questions, and Burhan was happy to explain.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8hBwzKdZYB
Suddenly—
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPQM8vvcxCv
"Hands up!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8lPkcNT1WS
"Don't move!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANADzSYuiVQxE
"This is a robbery!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAAK9ocg1unx
The loud voices made every customer in the café jump in shock. A wave of fear filled the air.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5va5tudO2b
At the entrance stood four people wearing black masks. Only their eyes were visible through small holes in the fabric.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAGz00YjIEMD
Three of them were tall and broad-shouldered, each holding heavy automatic firearms—likely AK-47s.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAC472aPJ03X
The fourth was smaller, with a noticeably fuller chest compared to the others—undoubtedly a woman.

3-7 Poisoned Needle vs. Bullet
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoE13GOC8HH
Burhan: "Nagini, keep your head down! They have firearms!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgk2aDasgSf
Nagini: "What is a firearm?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAD3o9eZeS6L
Burhan: "It shoots bullets and can kill from a distance!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8aD8I2TscA
Nagini: "Like an arrow?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAAdF2u3x71o
Burhan: "Exactly! Now keep your head down!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA6bIuotSnEV
Seeing Burhan's worried expression, Nagini began to understand the danger.
Her mystical and supernatural instincts kicked in, making her hyper-aware of the threat.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxWaflqhqtg
Both her hands slipped into her jacket pockets, gripping her poisoned needles tightly.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYlbDHUxq44
Up front, the largest robber pointed his gun at the customers.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJPWzBrExWc
Robber 1: "Hand over your jewelry and phones! Put them in this bag!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXX3KVnTOhG
Robber 2: "Don't resist! Or we'll shoot!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYimgJsPaIC
Terrified customers quickly dropped their valuables into the bag carried by the smaller, female robber.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoevx4G78Og
But one wealthy old lady refused, clutching her handbag tightly.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5cwxSp1Gv4
Old Lady: "Don't take my bag!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJSSJ9bI5nW
Robber 1: "Shoot her! We're running out of time!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4jeORiAYHp
Robber 2: "Densus 88 will be here any second!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxreGGs5u9L
Robber 3, who was holding a pistol, immediately raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPqa4TIi7FX
Bang!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0qqCgHeCg
The bullet shot straight toward the old lady.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAcMONhq8B6O
Nagini, already prepared, threw one of her poisoned needles.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAr7dlqJgw5F
Whoosh!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAaEjVSkrFXV
The needle sliced through the air—
120Please respect copyright.PENANAEyOHUAoQWr
Clang!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAqtQQomhues
It struck the bullet mid-flight.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAUmnZ5MtBir
As if swallowed by a mystical wind, the bullet lost all its force and dropped harmlessly just centimeters from the old lady's head.

The robbers froze. Fear began to creep into their eyes behind the black masks. With a trembling voice, one of them tried to hide his growing dread.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA2fftyM6q6Q
Robber 1: "Who did this?! Who dares pull such a stupid stunt?!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANATeex5Fg9OZ
Nagini stepped forward, standing tall before everyone.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA7W5w4uCLm4
Nagini: "I did."
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXlPMF5CAzG
Gasps filled the café. Some people held their breath, afraid Nagini would be riddled with bullets any second.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAqEkOvJ6OSh
Robber 1 raised his weapon, panic and rage mixing with fear.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAuiL639yOIP
Robber 1: "You've doomed everyone here!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAn88RGbjqBj
Without hesitation, he unleashed ten bullets toward the crowd.
120Please respect copyright.PENANASJKoaVbyIk
Bang! Bang! Bang!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAnDv3WRNAm7
Screams erupted as chaos took over.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoFZfRYRSof
But Nagini was already in motion. Her hands moved with lightning speed, releasing ten poisoned needles with full force.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgoslxSaE3C
Whoosh!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXZw5mLSfvw
A faint, cold wind followed the deadly needles.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAAiMUYrTGf9
Clang! Clang!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyvuUmSBN6p
Each needle collided midair with a bullet, snuffing out its force. The bullets dropped harmlessly to the floor.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAIvIcgk4OPa
The four robbers stared in shock, their legs shaking. Their fierce bravado melted into pure terror, like lions suddenly turned into house cats.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAgSsZ4MOaa9
Cold sweat ran down their spines.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAAyAs0u8G3Y
The small one holding the bag of stolen goods fared the worst—her hands shook, and a dark patch spread down her pants. She had wet herself.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAR6DjxNR5XX
One robber's voice trembled.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMQYn3QSsY6

120Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ3RU4Z0mh

Robber 1, having lost all reason, fired again at Nagini.
120Please respect copyright.PENANARJN0vV1uSq
Bang!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAic0kpIUzmo
Her mystical instincts kicked in. She moved like the wind, the bullet passing barely a centimeter from her face.

Crash!
120Please respect copyright.PENANARUnX9UcuHA
The bullet shattered a café window behind her.

In the same motion, Nagini flung a second-grade poisoned needle.

Not far from the University of Indonesia campus stood a towering forty-story apartment building. At its top, glowing letters read:
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0p023n6QBd
"Seroja Indah Apartment"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAv6kzHuVLHq
On the fourth floor, one modest but cozy room stood out.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKTRh5GSzYo
A neatly made bed, a wardrobe in the corner, and a small study desk by the window.
120Please respect copyright.PENANACJi9tVMGQ4
Through that window, the city stretched wide, its twinkling lights scattered among high-rise buildings. In the distance, the Monas monument stood proudly, its crown plated with thirty-five kilograms of gold.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA6xGroSHI22
Inside, two young women sat side by side. They were identical twins—round faces, flowing curly hair, slender builds. Both wore pink leather jackets paired with tight black pants.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyHVCe2T3nI
The slightly taller one was Rani. The shorter one, Rina. For strangers, telling them apart was nearly impossible.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWfz0f5Ztbu
Rani: "We've got evening classes today."

120Please respect copyright.PENANAP7yZaXFlYo
Though it wasn't yet eight o'clock, the sidewalks to campus were nearly deserted. Cars passed only occasionally.
120Please respect copyright.PENANATNi5Yk7jwu
The tall buildings along the way were dimly lit, their lights fading into the night.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA23Q70fBCS5
The usually bustling street vendors were nowhere to be seen. Only a few people strolled in the distance.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPetieoy3hH
On one stretch of sidewalk, a group of young men loitered—smoking, drinking beer, and chatting. Some idly chewed on peanuts.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZLo122QDIm
Below the sidewalk, four others sat singing along to the strum of a guitar.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA0rNopqfRon
Rani and Rina approached, chatting and laughing. But as they drew closer, they slowed.
120Please respect copyright.PENANApXvS9SRrEZ
The sight ahead wasn't encouraging—empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and peanut shells littered the ground.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyONlN4y5Mo

Rina smirked, and Rani laughed out loud.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfadjoH1xq8
Without hesitation, they kept walking—heads high—as they passed the group.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA7HhkAimWjK
Up close, four young men lounged on the sidewalk while six others played guitar and sang below.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfQx4wEJyls
One short, stocky man with chubby cheeks, narrow eyes, a protruding belly, and skin the color of roasted coffee—Martoyo—pointed at the twins and called out.
120Please respect copyright.PENANATvmL5S71hX
Martoyo: "Hey, guys! Look! Two angels have just descended from heaven!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAtpy9hTBoS4
Three others immediately turned to stare.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAmOg8VMXD2C
One was small and skinny, with wild eyes, long hair, and tattooed arms. His name was Misnan, and he was the most aggressive of them all.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiN5265gS9O
He stepped toward Rani and Rina.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiDDXX7tWe6
Misnan: "Hey, girls… why don't you have some fun with us?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAd2a8xUvjgG
Rani and Rina ignored them.

3-12 Rani and Rina vs. the Street Thugs
120Please respect copyright.PENANAvjeJLphzia
A tall, broad-shouldered young man with long wavy hair stepped forward. His name was Gendon.
His thick lips looked like they belonged to a tilapia fish, made even more ridiculous by the thick mustache almost covering them.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyqqzvCJOlB
He held a hansip nightstick (Civil security officer's baton) on his shoulder and yawned lazily.
Despite his intimidating appearance, Gendon was… well… not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAHl7HLQZV92
Gendon: "Hey, pretty girl! Wanna be my girlfriend?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAdH82m7dNb3
Intelligence might not be his strong suit, but every time he saw a pretty woman, his mouth would automatically start running.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAsu4R0GHCKD
Only Misno didn't join the teasing—though his eyes stayed glued to the twins' faces, and his throat made a loud, audible Glegh! as he swallowed.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAq4GmrzbuX7
Misno was a lanky guy with messy curly hair, thick lips, wide eyes, and a thin mustache. His clothes were neat… but he smelled strongly of dried salted fish. Pretty women were his weakness, and whenever he saw one, his gulp reflex kicked in.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAtZPgonWrQ8
The four men surrounded Rani and Rina.
120Please respect copyright.PENANANCdwL1qeHU
Misnan: "Hey, ladies, how about staying over at my place tonight? You can have whatever you want…"
Misnan chuckled sleazily.
120Please respect copyright.PENANACm2IdbHLHZ
Martoyo: "I could be your boyfriend instead…"
120Please respect copyright.PENANASY8MOFZkE5
Gendon: "So, girlfriend, yes?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANA5kjZ8JXjoB
Misno still didn't move, just stared and Glegh! again.

3-13 Beating Up the Thugs
120Please respect copyright.PENANALp6mCSuZS3
The moment the words turned sleazy, Rani and Rina's smiles vanished. Both spun around to face the thugs.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAsjYUr70Qy9
Rani: "You're getting out of line."
120Please respect copyright.PENANA14VbqqjpGd
Rina: "Speak politely to women!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAFDxRjJBNoa
Misnan: "Why should I care?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAD14QLLtO18
Martoyo: "Yeah, why should I care?"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAsqJME3zxsL
Gendon: "Still waiting for that girlfriend answer…"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAmkmEB2kXUT
The three of them snickered like hyenas. Gendon kept patting his nightstick on his shoulder.
120Please respect copyright.PENANANkIo2AczVs
Misno? Still Glegh!.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAEV40pOxLWZ
The four of them reeked of alcohol. Their speech was slurred.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAVAtUNvw0R1
Misnan reached out to grab Rani's shoulder—
120Please respect copyright.PENANAL6HUSImcE1
Tep!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAvHZ7nUGBzq
Her hand shot up first, locking onto his wrist.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAzNeTpEmaE4
Crack!
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8NsWiPbhru
Misnan: "Ow!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAlPTUrK03rw
Misnan dropped to his knees in pain, his fingers already swelling.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAYRsNtzZFAo
At the same time, Martoyo tried to grab Rina's arm—
120Please respect copyright.PENANA6Olllu82bh
Thwack!
120Please respect copyright.PENANApspa8Sfeyc
Her hand caught his, twisting sharply—
120Please respect copyright.PENANAzdz5yzsK2L
Blugh!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAvm6MtNa0Pd
Martoyo: "Ow!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAUKfsFwl0rR
He landed on the pavement with a swollen arm, looking like he'd need a traditional massage… or maybe an exorcism.

3-14 Gendon
120Please respect copyright.PENANAvdGIYGfPl9
Gendon didn't react, still caressing his nightstick like it was his pet cat.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAALr59g6yXm
Misno stayed frozen, Glegh! again.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfWlWpr45BN
Misnan: "Gendon! Why are you just standing there? Hit them!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAulEje23dmX
Martoyo: "I'll buy you martabak if you do!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAF1kwImwXXh
Now, martabak is a sweet, stuffed Indonesian pancake—a delicacy Gendon would gladly fight for.
At the magic word, he raised his nightstick.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxooic7l5L8
Misno kept watching nervously, Glegh! again.
120Please respect copyright.PENANACmNPeXvJ2i
Rani and Rina exchanged a sly smile. The nightstick strikes were easy to dodge, and within seconds…
120Please respect copyright.PENANA6zksEwuMK1
Wham! Bam! Snack! Thud!
120Please respect copyright.PENANADg6yYB0Bdu
Gendon: "Ow! Mercy!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0wya28vOb
The big man crumpled to the ground—cheeks swollen, head sprouting three new lumps, stomach aching, and lips puffier than ever, as if he'd been run over by a train.

3-15 Misno Runs Away
120Please respect copyright.PENANAEnnkp1uY5b
Misno was still rooted to the spot, but this time his Glegh! wasn't from admiration—it was pure fear.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXnM8beULN4
He glanced toward a group of six guys singing on the street below, but they weren't part of his gang.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAkj0ANKrl75
When Rani and Rina's eyes locked on him, his knees wobbled. Without caring about pride or dignity, Misno turned and bolted.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAHYdlyRf9k4
Misnan: "Get back here, Misno! Coward!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANABAfRU0p3bF
Martoyo: "Traitor!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfWAozoB60O
Gendon: "If you come back, bring me martabak!"
120Please respect copyright.PENANAIrHTPZzhsm
Rani and Rina just kept walking toward campus, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
