5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo3sLrBeqb
The Green Gang's base was located in the Tanah Abang area. This gang was one tier stronger than the Red Gang.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTBW2oTxVU
Inside the base, Giono—the Green Gang leader—sat in his chair. He was tall, burly, bearded, and had a habit of swearing:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqjlK8CAms
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsibXUh4vu
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob1o4piTg1
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DYQnQQwyM
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xIDW1KCTk
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9PKusoUwS
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKdM0F9YRj
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zXEVPsUho
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYKddb8jsa
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9nYfGzybZ
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAY3lbYeqe
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKIYB3dwC8
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQEAwrRLmn
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFquoCWRHUL
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDbGDdugAD
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMSo5Y9mLM
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94lg8w0m6E
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pYau2JKsz
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM7fDcToI8
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YELsO6R7a
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtVHk66PST
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGSpvCXrst
He cursed again.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Dmve7Vc9
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYdFv2teQk
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lWK00aq6p
Giono huffed in frustration.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp086t5vVF
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMkIIpdnGz
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8TrplPJoQ
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XLqudfbEr
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlndwREQk4
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ETDD6GHYE
Giono: "Twin girls?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IJ7kkrgW8
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUwsDpGadb
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQqca13pzr
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsKYCvkdlE
Giono: "Outrageous!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbVHSOeIKQ
Giono's eyes widened.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5YIrdjzQD
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcLIzh1QDS
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQE3pO9zhU
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JNCnrlRNj
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsnvRzDXIP
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi39iwBoaAm
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRNs8SNoxp
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x4qUCuVpG
Karto grinned like a horse.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECfmhkiySl
Giono looked over all his men again.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73UHQzRcGy
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO7TH0wHV4
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMFhQJpWCa
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KonGiyg3S
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlImnWJ5S2
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u8fZR9zbV
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDgtbsA0pF
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTsboUTHxO
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriibSUxoCL
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcH6x4hOSY
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Sum3KQVh
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkkJ6uXe8V
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbJji0vrNf
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPQ2jckmTr
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafIkOu479Z
Karto: "You look worried…"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2aZwWWJ5B
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrurk7J1ydo
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoAhYLho6n
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6jXmZGMpz
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvVOAcHF75
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5z9096yCh
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHxRNl549Z
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn0aXAOF1n
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnPmCDLj4p
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggWrpDJRUc
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxpbRVUmgj
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0MbaRGD8v
Tikno: "No information about killings."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp96Z1HwBN
Turiman: "Why not?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeigxoZBIY
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPfB5DIea6
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVW2mzy1Ho
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObT3yjIZxW
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3KWUrb4Lc
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjmwifPEcg
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJarSUQsjIh
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJAj4tnmHy
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ7bsAfKwO
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1VDopivYF
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg5orotojH
Bang!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjKt6yEJf1
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkzZrIq6Gl
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x6ISLDEMK
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlWoj0750O
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlZMPb0Zja
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Jw6UVuyn
The Green Gang members laughed again.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkC66XSuY0
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1d1CQIJcw
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjO1k2z2Nk
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDMgwKKuUB
Karto: "We will fight!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelQXxtn4GM
Tikno looked fired up.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tESLF2kri
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DU4WmiMzA
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V4yRWzmCe
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8abBeUhS5o
Finally, Giono said slowly:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoFd2Vf7xe
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJH0O177Sd
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWmgxJMfvJ
"Are you hungry?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDPxDSxw7R
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11dGwY82sz
"Fried rice with catfish!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLruEKLcw8
"Omelette rice!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4mkr03EUj
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg8NjD2pkO
Their shouts echoed in the room.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82EHqhs76c
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIpXYEd7Vg
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZAgTaGjLk
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HcfkIWwpe
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86MNzEch60
Karto started counting the 50 members.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfhfNfcf6I
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuH1x5ziOw
The room erupted in chatter.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv8W67dphk
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTyLYADXfw
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUuxoU1Sfb
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhQlAFGhG0
They ate together while joking and chatting.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFp0XKSj2V
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSlH7dttvX
Jakarta was a busy and bustling city. In the Tanah Abang area stood a luxurious and elegant discotheque—one of the largest in Jakarta.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKhOJbahJR
From the outside, neon lights blinked on the building. Dangdut music echoed inside, playing "Kopi Dangdut," making anyone hearing it sway their body.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifnC6Cm867
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WgpiiARCy
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HBShHE8wW
The place was called:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhXxSiJLqw
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmVh7Phb57
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhINoH8ZAOj
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvxif4oF8S
On the same floor, there was an exclusive manager's office for Pak Handoyo, equipped with a biometric security door, reflecting elegance.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIf2aahBJO
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.
