5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbEKSmnIeT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAavZ414Uh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRaduXyH7m
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohChfCgfyr
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99bsvOdexH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy4OvSkWtB
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtljmUmRiVQ
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1E8VsWKFS
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6wb2yRXvu
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSXl3lwIct
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoySSG0EgGl
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWUERCnDM4
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxWv0389z4
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQosZg9YtZu
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGtwB7mnYc
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtGnI1Psz9
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv30RXWIij
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofzKkxMyxA
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxK0fUMbDq
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpEjEGqbkC
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSRVV5XhGN
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNJ2fwxkpo
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Oqt9eKDfg
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjCbo8vWha
He cursed again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNh4AiTTIV
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfGEio0kZ6
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI3NR9p3e7
Giono huffed in frustration.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiEuknMXSz
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKRzCH6Jl4
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN7DYhzaQ5
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTdeWDiDfU
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbskeAwxbjH
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPgPde1zPU
Giono: "Twin girls?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kzvp8Ukt7
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfojQL5ZmIV
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdy7tFOfHZ
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBHsA8iFbl
Giono: "Outrageous!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW9dPGpBce
Giono's eyes widened.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV5hth2KSx
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQHLWZFMTK
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9kxoVkxFz
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSYwnrUanH
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Ricpg1tq
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37L490rjgh
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HQ5F86JQW
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FjUafnASN
Karto grinned like a horse.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwXvoeS89D
Giono looked over all his men again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQT0reJmJN
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkGcOwphAP
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMsk82CCIr
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8F0muEq5K
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwJm9uEOsm
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgPvoUnqbW
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsytz0M3rQ
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObZKtZNBYh
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoiVbSpwwB
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyn1RkgQdP
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L4IE49Dmz
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7W4xImaHU
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEiWz4U96C
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLTV99IsmH
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSX5JV5pT9
Karto: "You look worried…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScOM4H4ZOD
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QtkAGzRVb
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZbHN2kZXr
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPenwmUQic
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe02IqGX6CJ
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh1OQQSiW9
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRIWjlRTP6
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAcIDclqHE
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0dFfekQTC
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VuzTUq8e9
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuygvhcGcSr
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4giksuYO7f
Tikno: "No information about killings."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JAI3A5owQ
Turiman: "Why not?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuiKBbO1aF
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLsEnckbzO
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0P3k2nN7q
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA8ljgGa1e
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIxziEjryx
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22rkmP0bDg
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Ol23SsYP
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGsyG5Kl8S
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZwhEQbOOD
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNks6euEIX1
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjeL20bEJB
Bang!
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsGhqdSjB6
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNXNLpRDqR
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4PeBEwnf0
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZhhtGLweN
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FtsMRdRqr
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjpArV0Kyg
The Green Gang members laughed again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FaDSAB03G
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmhmSJ8yR7
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyPP7XhW4R
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PaLnhBMzf
Karto: "We will fight!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk2dNEQ5fp
Tikno looked fired up.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSK08BRk4b
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTUYLyaAJ9
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxDHd3Sxw8
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIpPoDqyrC
Finally, Giono said slowly:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxSUwvcT8b
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63SbSwYhtG
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAA2f0COwc
"Are you hungry?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucfPCpgmhi
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFOcMowXZV
"Fried rice with catfish!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIuSbwTuXN
"Omelette rice!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm68nJbNB4G
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS9bk3yps5
Their shouts echoed in the room.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ300EIxPOfW
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ASQKME1W
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz77Qm1t5bC
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJtN2aa5a1
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjxp7iVbfY
Karto started counting the 50 members.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo97qoNvo9
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiJ05lyS1w
The room erupted in chatter.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95VDLDR3Or
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SkpoNzQsE
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhY7ILqu2E
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc87iMe5EkZ
They ate together while joking and chatting.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3AijRdYNz
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQdKmbQmsK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt55UDDAO4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRI3hpfvqT
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMqYxTRvbA
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlOb0uS4b4
The place was called:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjo2zH5Jjm
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZzdXeIqOG
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes2kEbBrCH
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAK3pAY4TE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x2QhQhb1m
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.
