5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBjj3Il3gg
The Green Gang's base was located in the Tanah Abang area. This gang was one tier stronger than the Red Gang.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4nwY5CDvd
Inside the base, Giono—the Green Gang leader—sat in his chair. He was tall, burly, bearded, and had a habit of swearing:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuSXAl87kx
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o88J1enxx
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLaAXGkIy8
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQji3zzIsW
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRjxSrIFQ
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Tk5DJKu7
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRqDRfRSak
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNliyz1p31
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9MCO1582Z
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl4DsUeVJT
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxtICJPOKQ
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe5xevFXcI
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CAZrFtiC6
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnao1g1y1q
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4MMywKow5
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0CvMrSsti
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb6dL0mYSZ
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAntGpJIkV7
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkqu7zc2Ik
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43EJaB3uzj
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfB5qzBVG6
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxQa0C2fG0
He cursed again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAozDUzvXD
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhyWmNMUNv
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlElUxr9nQ
Giono huffed in frustration.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0ZUOgoLbm
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM1GFnI5IO
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmawQCYg7K
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzpFUPLab3
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLfJAakVxz
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EZcvsXM0r
Giono: "Twin girls?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav56NgHCxk
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oqJ6CpyDC
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdSZNBGTWd
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru9fXNn9CS
Giono: "Outrageous!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5RCixTMq0
Giono's eyes widened.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTL2bNrPjI
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaoLpaIqz0
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmX4oixanb
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMhWBUZzx4
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAHgvFy6x6
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxK69d63uJ
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9okee5FdQM
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY7HKG3thi
Karto grinned like a horse.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRnK1o4uJz
Giono looked over all his men again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwi7rCdOFn
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C3epkz03c
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VHQ95q4hs
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyRQ9cVfAj
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAduz8Jc5J
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizYMKPKuGp
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJeDI9NpLA
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p0Qiy9pg1
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXQVCYp8wK
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGrvqyiuc8
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZW1XnlPaC
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KEs8sQujQ
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eK7PEK6dS
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0HyH6GRVt
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn24WrPXr65
Karto: "You look worried…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbPyvKZrVa
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0cCIQW7Mu
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Aauopedzi
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxzwpdQ1Jq
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFcCG5JVjX
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc4TWzmLr5
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pF1VvIkr6
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJicEiJhqBi
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51w0i2DT0O
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zonmy25wS
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ZPEdytun
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JvTPYTbmx
Tikno: "No information about killings."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCaV9vdMls
Turiman: "Why not?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr9lLwjFMJ
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8zfLYrE7z
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9nUcFf9Ji
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R22nRb8Qq
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xCiUDlwBg
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGVNDhnkkn
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT1X68GHwd
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuBwbQFEPe
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDsi7TomJs
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXENJ1XjSO
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg1dKELWyA
Bang!
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCsYXuUFZ7
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjpX4twokz
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTUPxm1ztx
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dO0qref5f
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIMheKbW2C
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1bUEnNheW
The Green Gang members laughed again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJC2EaGEs7
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfORzEHqqO
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLFX0NHxL6
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZtRB0651T
Karto: "We will fight!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGNJcJ4v1v
Tikno looked fired up.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdbrE1FOaS
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kWM7GvFVa
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmEZ9WUVI3
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJog2D8WV2
Finally, Giono said slowly:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Fh1hYmH5
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudptjlYGuY
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9efRqNb5pE
"Are you hungry?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYblhHzyJyd
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQWKWOR9p4
"Fried rice with catfish!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkYmzbxkeA
"Omelette rice!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh6ADjDWhS
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttja63x8s1
Their shouts echoed in the room.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3fsVZtmBO
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn4WlkaffJ
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCW250fa3v
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkSef8fYMK
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVlg7NZfk7
Karto started counting the 50 members.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbb1VajEXF
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL8i5XSfoB
The room erupted in chatter.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9j0FcRFNC
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTrPD5K4Td
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvYclTqp6K
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HTzl2kFSv
They ate together while joking and chatting.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jTHnPXBER
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfPYfJAl6H
Jakarta was a busy and bustling city. In the Tanah Abang area stood a luxurious and elegant discotheque—one of the largest in Jakarta.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg86VFxzNxY
From the outside, neon lights blinked on the building. Dangdut music echoed inside, playing "Kopi Dangdut," making anyone hearing it sway their body.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsCmMYkt6S
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknHM1iResy
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxUP5IDV9b
The place was called:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h1cERPXs5
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPSl7Y0vUj
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY897cvNBn
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIbBhNQGtP
On the same floor, there was an exclusive manager's office for Pak Handoyo, equipped with a biometric security door, reflecting elegance.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ntNpVNo6
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.
