Broto: "Madam, many of our assets in Jakarta have been frozen by the government."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOK0TSlOJi
Mariana: "Yes, Broto. Not just our assets—many of our people have also been arrested."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiBevAwI3A
Mariana shook her head anxiously. Her paper fan closed, tapping on the table in front of her. The glass of her favorite cocktail remained untouched.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7NY1uVUnK
Broto: "Madam, we should lay low for a while."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGnICeN9ZV
Mariana: "I'm no coward, Broto."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhsn9vGcbS
Broto took a clove cigarette with a "234" label.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILX64anSJn
Broto: "But Madam, we're up against the government."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNjriWceuC
Mariana: "I know, Broto..."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIORHOiyHAC
Broto fell silent for a moment. He struck a match, lit his cigarette, and inhaled deeply.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbCu9zgIdJ
Broto: "We really should lay low for now, Madam..."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPOAySz3Wi
Mariana took a sip of her cocktail and opened her paper fan.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zu9tSP6Xj

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy9RQjdYxI

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1sdhzpnb0
Mariana: "We will fight back, Broto."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU39MYEaiYn
Broto inhaled again, his face showing hesitation. Fighting the government? Yet in front of the Madam, he dared not resist.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7mnWUbpSZ
Broto: "Yes, Madam. We will strike back."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBZh27DcHF

Broto: "Ready, Madam."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIVPYJUxtk

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazNblAmlHB
Mariana: "Are our snipers in position on the surrounding buildings?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqhiMT2GAq
Broto: "They're ready, Madam."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8g7evqKyU
Mariana looked satisfied.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHZAQAIIXo
Mariana: "What about the helicopter? Is it ready?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUGeSnlc0D
Broto: "All ready, Madam. The helicopter is on the roof of the tallest building."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bBIAfwgiE

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1stOGgQZRz

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce3uHTYI5A
Broto: "That's right, Madam."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiZeBklIeM
Mariana: "We will punish those who make things difficult for us."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykImHTLslz
Broto inhaled his clove cigarette again.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPhqOAcnky
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbYsl64Wx7
Mariana: "We'll target them in return—freeze their assets, freeze their accounts."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoGMzU575o
Broto exhaled smoke and tapped his cigarette on the ashtray several times.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhATUl2kvG
Mariana: "Can you do it, Broto?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo0gWxT6Mx
Broto: "Of course, Madam! We have a cyber team, don't we?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL28NTIAHZ
Mariana: "Do you know which top police and KPK officials are leading the operation against us?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIk6krytT8
Broto: "Of course, Madam. We'll find out..."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM21UA2Q9G
Mariana: "Investigate whether they've been involved in corruption or bribery."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHwmNsL3XN
Broto wiped cold sweat from his forehead, his face uneasy about Mariana's plan. His voice trembled.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lsa7D9L0k
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZupnKwA51
Mariana: "Check major companies, like Pertamina and the mining sector, for links to them."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrVEkpKv3Q
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8tHMLQLBJ
Mariana played with her paper fan, then sipped her cold cocktail.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg28HyO9rk6
Mariana: "Can you do it without linking it back to us?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1LILO2YDI
Broto took a deep breath.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgghoSCWON7
Broto: "Of course, Madam. Isn't that how Arizal and Diono came under KPK investigation?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlWIlmnurd
Mariana: "Exactly."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvM0t1USyI
Broto: "Our cyber team provided information on Arizal and Diono's fake accounts—without exposing us."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoYvx8ZPa7

Bimo, the Deserted Kopassus Sniper
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMI69X1Eci
Mariana looked exhausted. Her beautiful face showed anxiety. The paper fan opened wide.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mU9KnS8AC

Broto: "Yes, Madam."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzLdWuBGPR
Mariana: "The problems we've faced lately are exhausting."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYI0wgSVP9
Broto: "True, Madam. Government officials are starting to suspect our business."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4lUxoYTSB
Mariana didn't react. The fan moved slowly in her hand, her face calm.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAany0IIvN
Broto: "They've frozen part of our assets. The raids keep coming."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmOaRyq9sR
Mariana stood up.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KVLZirnV6
Broto: "And most recently, they blocked our shipment of female workers to Thailand and arrested Captain Kuntadi!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6IldmEIWT
Mariana: "According to our informant, did that involve Nagini and Officer Burhan?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lh2jDgpfE
Broto nodded.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM3CtJ10cs
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That was their doing."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywOmdPhF3O
Mariana frowned in annoyance.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl5t8iKJSQ
Mariana: "Nagini, the man in the red jacket—the one we met in the Ramayana Mall basement?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ297LCHsRJM
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2l7VWCl5D
Mariana: "Nagini was strong enough to block my fan strike on the twins, Rani and Rina."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA17qFhRfOl
Broto nodded again, inhaling deeply.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLs2VsAcix

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApAOyr96Kr
Broto: "Yes, Madam. He works for us now."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLppU1pz8t

The Real Mariana
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHmBXwYACX
Mariana opened her private room with a fingerprint scan. Once inside, the door closed and locked automatically.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc7GCOuXoc
She walked to a large vanity mirror and sat, staring at her reflection.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUxJo4H5tZ
Mariana looked at her face—beautiful, calm, with a faint smile hinting at unshakable resolve.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhB41spt4T
Slowly, she removed her long-sleeved blouse, revealing muscular arms like a female bodybuilder.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52IOtgtyTY
The pronounced muscles contrasted sharply with her soft, golden-brown skin and delicate facial features.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRN0AQ4Be7
Mariana took a tissue and wiped off her lipstick, revealing her natural lips.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr0JwaihJb
She stared at herself in the mirror again, silent and still.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS7EQNK0n0
Then she rose from her seat. Her hands trembled faintly, a reddish glow surrounding them…
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCoxWkHOOr
The room grew hot.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6HQuT2g56
The paper fan in Mariana's hand hardened into steel.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErTv8mWJpL

Broto: "Arizal and Diono have been arrested by the KPK on suspicion of bribery and embezzlement of police funds."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzMsW7ODF3
Mariana smiled faintly. Her fan opened and moved slowly.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHmTSUK2lZ
