Bimo's Failure
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9ySCOQpvJ
Kembang Setaman Discotheque.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasiaaEuHFl
Disco lights flickered. The DJ played "Kopi Dangdut."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjhkHDhAWQ
On the top floor, a graceful woman sat in expensive clothes, a paper fan in her hand. She was the Grand Madam, Mariana.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3jyUmFgbe
In front of her, a glass table. On it stood a tall cocktail glass, cold and misty, with small ice cubes floating inside. A bent straw clung to the rim.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZqzq03u3c
Several guards stood watch around her.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU12wtJ4L5
A tall, broad-shouldered man bowed respectfully.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9L47CqBVM
Broto: "Madam, it turns out Bimo, our sniper, failed to take out Nagini and Officer Burhan."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdCidWbz3I
The woman with the paper fan only smiled.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3R3qS6Wag
Mariana: "I already expected that, Broto…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumfMX1NMtB
Broto's eyes widened in shock. His voice trembled.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65QAvvEmwY
Broto: "You already expected it, Madam?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jRxuic3cv
Mariana took the cocktail, sipping through the bent straw. She nodded.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJOP1zozKx
Mariana: "From my clash of inner force with her in the Ramayana Mall basement, I knew Nagini was not to be underestimated…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjKzIUDqFa
Broto puffed on his cigarette, smoke curling from his lips.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu1Cmfg2Dk
Mariana: "Even without the needle, Bimo's bullet would never have pierced Nagini's body."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvejt2t13R8
Broto's jaw dropped, uneasy.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20EOQHLYFR
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam? Is Nagini bulletproof?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrHu9qYrZI
Mariana smiled at his shock, amused by his ignorance of pure inner force that could destroy anything.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYOyFzV14j
Mariana: "It's not like that, Broto…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vcNMFMW9S
Broto tapped ash into the glass ashtray.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonCFkwflx9
Broto: "Then what do you mean, Madam?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoxjAnoXx7
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is strong enough to stop a bullet."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mv1qDSiq1
Broto still didn't understand. He took another drag, exhaling slowly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSJRtyKJJe
Broto: "Then why does she use the needle?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dR9cXOOqu
Mariana swirled her cocktail, playing with the bent straw, then chuckled.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0VjxBQqaF
Mariana: "The needle is only a small tool to channel inner force. Just like this paper fan of mine, Broto…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XnZBBas3i
Broto nodded, starting to understand.

Eliminating Rani and Rina
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcABXgvUKPZ
Mariana opened her paper fan and waved it slowly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHBx26d619
Mariana: "Broto, aside from Bimo's failure, how about the other targets? Were they successful?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnAP8f1yHk
Broto stubbed out his cigarette, lit another one, and exhaled.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNpDZV2XWt
Broto: "Yes, Madam. The corrupt cops—success. Arizal and Diono have been arrested for bribery and corruption."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ33Dzg20L
Mariana: "Does that involve us?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla7PhoiZc7
Broto: "Of course not, Madam. That was our cyber team…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioROvjzMkW
Mariana smiled faintly behind her fan.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsEPGrAhUo
Mariana: "Explain, Broto."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OsbLhYJz7
Broto: "They hacked into the Anti-Corruption Commission's site and planted proof of Arizal and Diono's dirty transactions."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8KqhActAZ
Mariana smiled again.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP7mpI61Pn
Mariana: "And what about the twins, Rani and Rina?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDDULdaytl
Broto inhaled deeply on his cigarette.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhUPjQvjc4
Broto: "I already sent Andika and three of his men to shadow them…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcw4dfYOIU
Mariana sipped her cocktail, smiling.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yPQitSSRI
Mariana: "Good, Broto."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxuskPXZ1I
Broto: "Andika and his friends are experts in nunchaku."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K0xUxZgST
Mariana: "Nunchaku? Two wooden sticks linked by an iron chain?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXhqu2Nocd
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKzs4MbiCD
Mariana's fan waved lazily. She smiled faintly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pAOyWacBN
Broto: "Pardon, Madam… what about Nagini and Burhan?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VsxRZs7Fi
Mariana: "After Bimo's failure?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16RH5Vu43F
Broto: "Yes, Madam."

Taking Out Nagini and Burhan
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFct85VjH4
Mariana: "Eliminating Nagini and Burhan won't be easy, Broto…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpELl63Gtv5
Broto kept silent, listening.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe2HBO1hTE
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is very high. She needs a worthy opponent."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UPR95ftfQ
Broto: "True, Madam…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL6ijNqqzo
Mariana: "Burhan, on the other hand, is an honest cop. It'll be hard for our cyber team to trap him."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQSZgPSUR4
Broto smoked quietly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmetwPRiBZZ
Mariana: "Any solution, Broto?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZfymRuQCo
Broto frowned, sipping cold coffee.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCUURcNOo6
Broto: "For Burhan… how about we hire Anton?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmZVJTnhZp
Mariana smiled thinly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w4CCbHuBI
Mariana: "Anton? The ex-Brimob officer fired for beating his own commander?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZTssvVdXs
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That Anton. He works as a security guard here now."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiOnMuC4kC
Mariana twirled her fan, sipping cocktail again.

Broto: "Yes, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd0TqpnUEo
Silence.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y6IInbFnM
Mariana played with her fan. Broto smoked, his face uneasy.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaBJC1XJZE
Broto: "But Madam… what about Nagini?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t1uYumKO8
Mariana: "You mean a worthy opponent for her?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3aMCukQ4Q
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiQXGqpGdx
Mariana: "For that, I have my own plan."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwFzmaXDWR
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeszrDyuf2F
Mariana: "Do you know the old twins, Durgono and Durgani?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXctvvxT0F
Broto's eyes widened.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3QpXVqHf8
Broto: "You mean Gono and Gani—the karambit masters?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS4kwYKkYQ
Mariana: "Yes, Broto."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKqOEls26N
Broto: "Karambit… the small curved knife shaped like a sickle?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC37fA30FjI
Mariana: "Correct, Broto."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebGnpbgCvG
Broto smoked again.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRAyrC1I1N
Broto: "Aren't they retired from the underworld?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaN2Kscy4r
Mariana didn't answer—just smiled faintly.

Sawitri at Kembang Setaman
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qjtujpLFC
In the middle of their conversation, a young pretty girl approached Mariana.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTZIymG90z
Mariana smiled warmly, while Broto's eyes popped at her beauty, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWGtusM1IW
Mariana: "Broto, mind your manners. This beauty is my guest."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwZHva7KzT
Broto: "Apologies, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0qKp7e06B
He quickly looked away.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8WVeZHs72
Mariana: "Don't be afraid. Come sit by me."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmoKEdhjfZ
The girl sat shyly beside Mariana.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKHTuRHs2I
Mariana: "What's your name?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0r7xSP42A
Sawitri: "Sawitri, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOdsf7dCpq
Mariana: "What would you like to drink?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GCHjkhsXM
Sawitri: "Nothing, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwoiC0EfJn
Mariana laughed lightly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLFWPA11Bx
Mariana: "Broto, order an orange juice for Sawitri."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAbJQBmqCQ
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGTq10b516
He went to the bar.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAlZxdpn71
Mariana: "Do you like it here, Sawitri?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMDWKddjmu
Sawitri: "I do, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I0JxjBEoZ

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPWr1i9B06
Sawitri: "Thank you, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcijj50Osok
Moments later, Sawitri's orange juice arrived.
