Coffe Ritual
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfE6eVfa6E
Bang!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl6JTc9fpY
Crash!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtghiEMW7R8
Giono kicked the table in front of him. Pieces of wood splintered, scattering shards across the floor. A glass of coffee teetered on the edge before spilling, leaving dark streaks across the carpet.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF69YPHi8Ld
Packs of Sukro-brand peanuts and Djarum kretek cigarettes tumbled onto the floor with soft thuds.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusloi9HWqp
Giono stomped back a step, his chest rising and falling like a bellows.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDyuGjGYu7
Giono: "Weladalah! Weduus! Wedus!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyfT8gWWck
His eyes blazed red, veins standing out on his temple. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms, trying to contain the storm brewing inside him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXgMNGa0tH
Fifty of his men bowed silently, backs stiff, hands clasped, not daring to breathe too loudly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmIPFx4Qh8
The Green Gang headquarters suddenly fell into an almost eerie silence. A few ceiling fans spun lazily, as if afraid to disturb the tension.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItoilZkcpL
Giono: "Karto! Make coffee! Quickly!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjAG46sFbG
Karto jumped, nearly tripping over a fallen peanut pack.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdwidflttU
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepvjrazf0D
Quick-thinking Turiman stepped forward, snapping his fingers at two men.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXLpSsjwig
Turiman: "You, Parto, and Suraji, bring a new table in front of the boss!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuh9HuKifg
The two men scrambled, dragging a fresh table. One of them stumbled over a splinter, wincing before recovering.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLauL9sKmb6
Giono: "Karto, don't forget! Make it bitter!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZubxAxSAVQ
Karto saluted hastily, almost tipping over a chair.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJAoQgN7o5
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpmP4DXZNH
Giono: "Two spoons of coffee, half a spoon of sugar."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY99U97w9E3
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGXMqv0A0E
Giono: "Stir it eighteen times. Not less, not more!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL83NTHe9d
Several Green Gang members snorted quietly, trying to suppress smiles. A bead of sweat trickled down Turiman's forehead as he glanced nervously at Giono.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEGnKCjVnk
Karto dashed to the kitchen, returning a moment later with a steaming cup of bitter coffee. The aroma hit the room, sharp and intoxicating.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9NnvKghCi
Slurp!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCl5y7sBOn
Giono: "Weduus! Perfect, Karto. Two spoons of coffee, half a spoon of sugar, stirred eighteen times…"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvLPYINpP6
Some men wiped tears of suppressed laughter from their eyes.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ2JfaHrGh
Giono lifted the cup, inhaling deeply before taking another sip. His shoulders relaxed, chest rising and falling more evenly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTJY6HZuGG
Blood circulation slowed, his head cleared. The anger that had boiled inside him seemed to settle like sediment in a cup of coffee.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8DIb6wySq
He tapped the side of the cup lightly with his finger, eyes scanning the room, calculating, plotting. His voice softened, but a sharp gleam lingered in his gaze.

Mariana's Cunning
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm8iQ8SzHo
Giono: "Weladalah… This cannot be tolerated! This is outrageous!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHPF2HY31L
His men remained motionless, hands hanging by their sides. Some chewed their lips nervously.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbOeO8i3Hb
Giono lit a cigarette, inhaling deeply. Smoke curled around his face, accentuating his furrowed brows.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5QTVbw2en
Giono: "Danu, tell me what happened at Kembang Setaman Discotheque! "
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFybcvlLKV
A security guard, shoulders hunched, stepped forward. His hands trembled slightly as he fidgeted with his cap.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX92WpT1GG
Danu: "It happened very quickly, quietly, and silently."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi31OmIknO
Giono leaned forward, elbows on the table, his fingers drumming lightly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vP3oOjD1Q
Giono: "What do you mean?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNXtxQ1Bif
Danu swallowed, eyes flicking to the floor.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHIAKN0RDy
Danu: "There was no resistance. Until finally, Handoyo voluntarily handed over the disco to the Big Lady."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6RWRsy4dP
Giono: "Weladalah… Then?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTLGAWEHo7
Danu: "They threatened Handoyo's wife and children."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh7F3oEkCH
Giono's eyes widened. Smoke escaped his mouth in jagged streams. His hands clenched into fists on the table.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8tG0PbBOi
Giono: "Weduus! The Big Lady is truly cunning!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwU5pQ8A0o
Danu: "Her bodyguards were also armed."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEk3CVUAqz
Giono sipped his coffee, tapping the cigarette against the ashtray with a sharp clink. He leaned back, staring into the half-empty cup.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG0ncPEHeh
Giono: "Hmm… And?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9aTSRKVBL
Danu: "No chaos. Even the regular visitors stayed calm, as if nothing happened."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdbDs9sgbt
Karto, hands behind his back, nodded grimly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOdrBn7MLz
Karto: "Kembang Setaman Discotheque, owned by Handoyo, is one of the Green Gang's biggest donors in Tanah Abang."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FMHkoUElc
Turiman slammed his palm against the table, sending a small cloud of coffee steam into the air.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv7kmEp9Df
Turiman: "This cannot be allowed!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiBvH9oNlQ
Fifty Green Gang members erupted in chaos, bumping into one another as they waved fists and shouted.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpr8m629zw
"Take back what's ours!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F0D1z4IjI
"Let's fight them!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNB5T0OsRr
"Let's beat them up!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzh35D4hAp
Giono inhaled deeply, letting the smoke curl lazily from his lips, his eyes scanning each member, weighing their energy and loyalty. His cup of coffee was half-empty, yet he savored it as a balm for his brewing temper.

Storming Kembang Setaman Discotheque
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjwlZ1VJgP
A man stepped forward, shifting his weight nervously from one foot to the other. His gaze avoided Giono directly. This was Kardun.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduI7tBGzOj
Kardun: "Everyone is ready to storm Kembang Setaman Discotheque!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmSX9ueibm
Giono studied him, noting the slight trembling of his shoulders. He was nervous… or afraid.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaogmt75orx
Closer inspection revealed Kardun's eyes were slightly cross-eyed, darting away from direct confrontation. Yet there was a spark, a glint of determination, hidden behind the wandering gaze.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lMpvxtqA7
Giono smiled faintly, curling one corner of his lip.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyNTyJpZLM
Giono: "Are you ready yourself, Kardun?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWTspqxQ1s
Kardun's eyes flicked to the ceiling for a split second.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CjDSmyLNv
Kardun: "I'm ready, Boss! As long as the others are ready!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcAuapT110
Turiman leaned closer, eyebrow arched.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBhxHVkc1z
Turiman: "You're scared, Kardun?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa43wMDnmD
Kardun grinned, revealing a slight gap in his teeth. Eyes still partially averted, he gave a shaky thumbs-up.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1RQgGd3DD
Kardun: "If we attack together, we'll win!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2oqs1rikk
Karto stepped closer, folding his arms.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhrjUfvb8S
Karto: "What if you go alone?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI4BfRa2JN
Kardun glanced around, chest rising with nervous excitement.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXN5b4ZpjY
Kardun: "If I go alone… better for me to go to the hospital instead, Boss!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ZC2epwpN
The room erupted in laughter, some men clutching their stomachs, others slapping tables.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8KLWbDpaS
Turiman shook his head, chuckling.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZh5n60hqX
Turiman: "Are you afraid of bumps?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjHJK1y5y6
Kardun grinned broadly, finally lifting his gaze to meet Giono's.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pll1eoS21
Giono looked at him, tracing the subtle focus behind the wandering eyes. He nodded approvingly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXxB7msBiJ
Giono: "Ladalah! Good… good…"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACvnPPzZwS
He scanned the room. Fifty of his men were bouncing on their heels, fists clenched, brimming with energy.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMYyBNGg8G
Karto: "Let's reclaim Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7icsMag17J
Turiman: "Let's return it to Handoyo!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpmAJkThfg
"Agreed!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxR2Zwas4E
Fifty voices thundered in unison, echoing off the walls:
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fQZg0Fkz6
"Long live Giono!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRloQo5SEHm
"Long live Giono!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlx6332Ddn
Giono's lips curved slightly, proud. He lifted the dregs of his bitter coffee and swirled it in the cup.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFwIyvKlTr
Giono: "You, Karto, prepare the weapons!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ImENdlWLX
He exhaled a thick plume of smoke, letting it drift lazily toward the ceiling.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviSvPC6XUl
Giono: "And you, Turiman! Prepare ten vehicles to transport our people!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQEl5ECWR1
The men erupted again, some pumping fists, some slapping each other on the back.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5qVgPVC7C
Giono: "Alright! Tonight we storm Kembang Setaman Discotheque!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7NMvjQm9U
Cheers and laughter mingled, echoing throughout the headquarters, carrying excitement, tension, and a trace of humor.
