13-1: Detective Action by Burhan
66Please respect copyright.PENANAMT08J9iY50
Burhan followed Nagini's steps from behind, gripping his pistol tightly and aiming it forward, ready to shoot.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA3txaj95lk8
Burhan: "Nagini, I will take down the two guards patrolling beside the warehouse."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvcVIU3gejb
Nagini looked at Burhan without reacting. Her face appeared tense and worried.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAWfGk7UVY1d
Burhan: "Don't go in yet, Nagini! Wait for me to take down the two patrolling guards."
66Please respect copyright.PENANABynJANSOt3
Without waiting for an answer, Burhan immediately moved to the side, creeping silently. His pistol was aimed forward, ready to fire at any moment.

13-2 Capturing the Guards at the Kangkung Gang Base
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzDczppijhg
Burhan stealthily approached the side of the warehouse.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAc938HBzhX9
At the end of the warehouse, under a dim light, Burhan saw two guards patrolling separately.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAim8KmfVYZp
Burhan sneaked closer to one guard standing under a five-watt light.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbEI4Q3pas0
The guard was smoking while holding a phone.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2xtRVEhyAS
Guard 1: "Ready, Boss. We've secured the girls."
66Please respect copyright.PENANA0zvvvUWziV
He took a deep drag from his cigarette.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAIZ76qeu6jk
Guard 1: "Yes, Boss. Some of the selected girls have been secured at Tanjung Priok port."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAEuJAyW5I6E
The guard was silent, taking another deep drag.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA0es5zJ1vWA
Guard 1: "Yes, Boss. They will be sent to Thailand for work."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAawVJFdOvty
He listened to further instructions, then hung up.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvVkktH2Ew0
Suddenly, the guard felt a sharp pain in his neck and lost consciousness. Burhan had struck him with the pistol butt.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA6pMPAAdCXx
Burhan silently moved toward the other guard.

13-3 Catching Up with Nagini
66Please respect copyright.PENANAuddrx0z2qn
Ahead, Burhan saw the other guard standing in the dark. His eyes stared at his phone without blinking.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAifq5U1ywux
His face was tense, looking at the phone screen. He smoked irregularly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANArVR9aRw1re
Burhan got closer. He heard sighs coming from the guard's phone.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQFsLKH17Ni
Turns out, the guard was watching a porn video.
66Please respect copyright.PENANArFJf0CiOBu
Burhan crept up and struck the second guard's neck with the pistol butt.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAds3WGZGncT
The guard collapsed unconscious, dropping his phone.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAmGvxAeZajq
Burhan took the phone and turned it off. His face twisted slightly in discomfort seeing the scene on the screen.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAG0KHx4hqkc
He immediately headed forward to look for Nagini.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAklJrhP5Hwi
The place where Nagini was supposed to be was empty.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAY2cWYsJK98
The front door was open.
66Please respect copyright.PENANACazo5CtSxv
Burhan became instantly alert. He was very worried Nagini had gone in alone without waiting for him.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9QuiUs27rU
Without hesitation, Burhan ran toward the front door.

13-4 Spying on Sawitri's Kidnappers
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZHaNrxolYm
Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, four guards sat around a table, playing cards.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZlGkSu4kVT
On the table lay scattered several bottles of beer, cigarette packs, an ashtray full of butts, and a large pack of Sukro-brand peanuts.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAdKrKbc6VvC
These four guards matched the descriptions given by Marni, Jono's wife.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwYP8TWRQmj
They were Nano, Udin Peyek, Bejan, and Bandi Hulk.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAeAR7ANaGgf
Nano tossed a small card onto the table, smiling.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVB2xMef2R2
Nano: "Your turn now, Udin!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ8G6LEDJA
Udin peyek: "I pass, boss!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQXrYnd2CGx
Nano: "Bejan! Your turn!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAyzf7uOFNwS
Bejan threw down a card, stacking it on Nano's.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAIx5dq83fyY
Nano: "Bandi! Your turn!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAgbU48zFq8R
Bandi Hulk: "I pass too, boss!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANALgQ43laEUf
Turns out, they were playing gaple (an Indonesian card game).
66Please respect copyright.PENANArO14V1wCXk
They laughed happily, smoked cigarettes, downed beer, and snacked on Sukro peanuts.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA8o39a6Ft5k
Not one of them noticed that two of their comrades had been knocked out outside.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqWX8HQ7EHt
In the back room, behind a locked door, several girls sat anxiously. Their faces were fearful.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAsHBqZsJ8nG
Some were quietly crying.

13-5 Taking Down the Kidnappers
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbBBQmICyPN
Suddenly!
66Please respect copyright.PENANAwzeueuumrt
Bang!
66Please respect copyright.PENANA83k7AmSMNk
The front door was smashed open, flying toward them and hitting the table with beer and Sukro peanuts.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAj2zS5nTEqS
Clang-clater!
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzWbgbbE7wf
The four jumped to their feet—startled, shocked, and a bit scared.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAL05USgDqXK
Their eyes widened.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqPUutUQDb9
They saw a woman in a red leather jacket standing with her hands on her hips in front of them.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAlHn7LZ6C3Y
Only then did they realize the door was kicked down by the Red Jacket.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA0sZfUSQc31
Nano, the most experienced, quickly drew his pistol and aimed it at Nagini.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAGwTEGRbDXC
Nano: "Who are you, daring to cause trouble here?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAHmqYnvS7D5
Bejan: "You're a pretty woman. How dare you come into the tiger's den!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAGhcEho8TCk
Udin Peyek: "Aren't you afraid of becoming our cook?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZJCZ5g6XxM
Bandi Hulk: "Aren't you afraid of becoming our girlfriend—all four of us?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANANGTOsTDoQs
The three, following Nano, drew their pistols.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rma62ugF8
Nagini didn't react. Her eyes gleamed fiercely. Her hands tightly gripped poisonous needles.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2puAeWRPJv
Nano: "Hey, answer us! Or you'll become our fritter batter!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y1yW90Csg
Bejan: "We're not only called the Tigers in Geng Kangkung, but also the Crocodiles!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAmZGRkGd3Jh
Nagini smiled to herself, amused by Bejan's words—between tiger and crocodile—but it didn't hide her anger.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAtWXyPsuc9M
Udin Peyek: "Boss, better make her the cook! Let her cook for us!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVcHPDZLLZp
Bejan: "So we don't have to waste energy buying food from the warteg.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA4kZHL8K3lB
( Warteg: cheap Indonesian street food stall, short for Warung Tegal.)
66Please respect copyright.PENANABqhGtOeMVq
They chuckled, underestimating her.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAxi0QL1pj0o
Bandi: "Boss, permission? I'll just make her our girlfriend. Someone this pretty, it's a pity to make her cook..."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAfS1L3eVwKf
Nagini still didn't respond.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkvXleSytfF
Udin: "You've got a crush, Ban?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAN1iy0aN8YS
Bandi smiled shyly.

13-6 Nagini Takes Action
66Please respect copyright.PENANA8WOnXOn4ZT
Nagini: "Where are you hiding the girls you kidnapped?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAR8YGxNdYtV
Nano and the three others exchanged glances, then chuckled.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAc6oo8TSNjv
Nano: "So you're looking for them."
66Please respect copyright.PENANABHFPV1qvD8
Udin Peyek: "Are you family?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAN524cHi5GJ
Bejan: "Are you a cop?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1MDpEwspzO
Bandi Hulk didn't react. His eyes sparkled as he stared at Nagini. He was clearly smitten.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAsh2gNw8D9j
Nano: "Judging by how you kicked down the door, you must be part of the police intel team."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAXc5PEVwcLy
Udin Peyek and Bejan started to take Nagini seriously.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAnsNPoHdlRz
But Bandi Hulk wasn't paying attention. His lips curled into a smile as he gazed at Nagini.

13-7 Nagini vs. The Kidnappers
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2KuvHfO6Lt
Nano began to grow suspicious because the two guards patrolling outside hadn't returned.
66Please respect copyright.PENANATajr3sV9CW
Nano: "Who sent you?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAJCqbHS73ux
Udin Peyek: "You must be a cop!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0ZTjJH5s6
Bejan: "You're definitely a Densus 88 assault team member!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANA4T6DT9q9bG
Bandi kept smiling, biting his lip, staring dreamily at Nagini.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAHzjlXD4dVA
Nano, Udin Peyek, and Bejan started aiming their pistols at Nagini. They were only three meters away.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA7BK91iNEut
Meanwhile, Bandi Hulk's heart softened even more, captivated by Nagini's charm.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAOk5nRpAHQG
Seeing the very dangerous situation and knowing a gunshot could go off any second, Nagini grew more alert.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAjsBl9RDzzQ
Her hand began to tremble. A faint blue glow appeared at her wrist. The needle in her hand was clenched tightly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAgw7UJ1dV7e
Because they were so close, even if the bullet wasn't stopped by the poisonous needle, it still wouldn't pierce Nagini's body.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAlarIW8YbjF
Nagini had released a high-level inner energy, enveloping her body in an invisible cold aura.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAJeRU9nAgte
The cold aura could be felt by Nano, Udin Peyek, Bejan, and Bandi Hulk.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUNsO51go4T
A coldness like an iron shield.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAKzZJCOJzwn
A coldness infused with mystical power.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAO4ZjitH71j
Nano, Udin Peyek, Bejan, and Bandi grew uneasy. Their bodies suddenly felt cold.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2WXRdSBpcg
An unusual chill that made their sweat break out and their hair stand on end.

13-8 Nagini's Fury
66Please respect copyright.PENANAI0TXhmGwX5
Nagini: "Hey, Shrimp Crackers! I'll ask you one more time, where are you hiding the girls?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAEb0bsIfDbb
Nagini pointed at Udin Peyek, calling him "Shrimp Crackers."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQxk3uPyRk7
Udin Peyek flinched, offended.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAlYQTlaumoC
Meanwhile, Nano and Bejan smirked, trying not to laugh; indeed, Udin was skinny and bony—perfectly nicknamed Shrimp Crackers.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAo2IlfuXGzV
Bandi Hulk couldn't hold back his laughter.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA6uH3zMSfCA
Bandi: "One pack of shrimp crackers, Din! Two thousand rupiahs."
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvXyLMlWpFz
Udin Peyek glared at Bandi Hulk.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAet6oFvPqfN
Nagini: "And you, Mr. Bodybuilder! You keep glaring at me. How about showing me where the girls are hidden?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAlRxD4xtt98
Bandi Hulk was happy to be addressed by Nagini.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAh6SpMLRCbP
Udin Peyek burst out laughing; indeed, Bandi Hulk was short and stocky, and his shirt was too small.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAy0zLDfNgFR
Meanwhile, Nano and Bejan whispered to each other.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqXsAfk8nA8
Bejan nodded.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAjzyqZDpT3f
He lowered his pistol, put it back on his waist, then approached Nagini.
66Please respect copyright.PENANARhe3SJYjAu
Bejan intended to grab and subdue Nagini for interrogation.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAb6J5bZOWpl
With bare hands, underestimating her, Bejan moved forward, ready to grab Nagini's arm.

12-9 Nagini Strikes Back
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9LtX5RbX4D
Bejan moved forward, feeling the cold aura growing stronger. His movement felt like cutting through a whirlwind.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAndm3Zi9nNI
Bejan's right hand tried to strike forward, aiming at Nagini's face.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAOm9BaLKmxB
Before Bejan's plan could be completed, Nagini's left hand moved very fast.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA4SxosCpbXN
Smack!
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqMLayhNupx
Bejan staggered to the side like a kite with a broken string; his right cheek swelled up big, turning blue as if suffering from a toothache.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvwGgSblLnl
Thunk!
66Please respect copyright.PENANAqKjzyOUxGp
Bejan's body fell onto a chair beside Nano.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkrlxnpwGbz
Nano, Udin Peyek, and Bandi Hulk were wide-eyed, full of questions.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAw4K1TjynWE
Nano glanced briefly at Bejan groaning in pain.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbjRBC5HYOH
Nagini: "And you, Mr. Sitting Elephant! You must be the leader of these guys?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANA0kfAVIlTkU
Nagini pointed at Nano, who was tall and big-bodied with a scarred cheek.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9cvUd2Xe1w
Now Bejan, Udin Peyek, and Bandi Hulk grinned knowingly. They knew "Sitting Elephant" was a sarong brand.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAlj4qqQWN1Q

"Hands up!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANA5gPkk4AJ0m
"Don't move!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAefVqyWvTTS
Nano, Udin Peyek, and Bandi Hulk simultaneously turned toward the front door. A sturdy man with a buzz cut was pointing a pistol at them.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbI1BO1E3Ne
Nano: "Police!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANANVZhnAzB1X
Udin Peyek and Bandi Hulk panicked immediately. They whispered to each other.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAaenlPkez2V
Udin Peyek: "Police, Ban! Remember when we got arrested before?"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAJHzI5NR2Cg
Bandi Hulk: "Yeah, we were locked up and beaten."

Bejan, still in pain, joined the panic, muttering sarcastically.

Bejan: "Went in fat, came out skin and bones!"
66Please respect copyright.PENANAmHuUjnKyLb
Nano: "Mental pressure..."
66Please respect copyright.PENANACbrMkokIeH
The four panicked men exchanged glances — a mix of fear, surprise, exhaustion, and anxiety.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qj7K3jOGW
Yet, Nano, Udin Peyek, and Bandi Hulk still aimed their pistols at Nagini and Burhan. Their eyes were desperate, reason struggling to overcome panic.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAWT3CBCInry
But they dared.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAARHq133JXZ

13-11 Poison Needles vs. Bullets
66Please respect copyright.PENANALTwxHHXWjJ
Nano and Udin Peyek's bullets sped toward Nagini, while Bandi Hulk's bullet was aimed at Burhan.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUluMSgesky
Nagini, alert and wielding a high-level inner energy with a cold aura, swiftly released three needles. Two needles deflected the two bullets heading her way, and one needle was aimed at the bullet flying toward Burhan.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAjKrLQv7J6Q
However, the close quarters made it nearly impossible for Nagini's poisonous needles to precisely hit the bullets. Indeed, two bullets were faster; Nagini's needles passed through empty space where the bullets already flew.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUe4eCMnHlw
The two poisonous needles continued their path, accompanied by a chilling breeze, smashing into a cabinet in the room.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAFzfLUQrYOx
Crash!
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkiMw4GULi1
The cabinet shattered to pieces!
66Please respect copyright.PENANAKZT2VjTYg3
Meanwhile, the two bullets kept flying toward Nagini. The high-level mystical inner energy cloaked Nagini's body in a bluish cold light.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUkdwIPM5tF
The two bullets that bypassed the poisonous needles continued flying as if piercing through a strong wind.
66Please respect copyright.PENANADqLDjGncgQ

Nagini took a deep breath. Sweat dripped from her forehead.

Burhan looked pale, barely escaping death.
