5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHjz5PUUgn
The Green Gang's base was located in the Tanah Abang area. This gang was one tier stronger than the Red Gang.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcQHjUvAOq
Inside the base, Giono—the Green Gang leader—sat in his chair. He was tall, burly, bearded, and had a habit of swearing:
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhFkpDLhho
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrXr4J24mm
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXRbX1WEhW
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGKWGQZ12y
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVApVpbsYq
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqB7jMhZmK
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pzk1N2vGn
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EYPah4Z0O
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy7cKSxVl5
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0bJ48CAsX
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraRzXdkcS5
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinDqL6Arlr
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNSdEbKcn5
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh9ercZpBU
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ29kEZXZwL
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtqUIUoMvp
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIbv7g7fTG
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqO8ZyZwGN
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMEO2GwHnm
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpbuYgAFwt
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb4gpEU2Er
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64yvZ09F3v
He cursed again.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94KTcuY1y2
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHNabetk3P
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHxst4k75Q
Giono huffed in frustration.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerVKE1WST5
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvWUU3Mqgt
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuTgQjnfD3
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXUkZ8TLSR
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMzoqTI3PU
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5asPV738G
Giono: "Twin girls?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI33iyR1RTc
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6vyq4Zttt
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oqMmxVJYB
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgax1bfadHI
Giono: "Outrageous!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRvJ9fNGtG
Giono's eyes widened.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUD9o2QKZd
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZrnAHPvtO
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYhguaFkDP
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTAk0Xuurg
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zZW07vc5X
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwggbJbG8s
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE38zuJSccA
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s7PnI9wRJ
Karto grinned like a horse.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyPPX2mvze
Giono looked over all his men again.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mh5cg7UY1
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pVIzlce6p
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcde520slxI
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcG8yb4kYL
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzm3fRAfof
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeKgVdy4hT
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNX6LJNCU4
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9b9ZYVQNE
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsxd02OxXE
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiVkjKhc9t
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGUkcKrJb2
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkimiOU23FH
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ9Bto77Ki
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLZp1fytAx
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITDdVAK8UZ
Karto: "You look worried…"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn5dCgZ80Z
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixpczFKwTk
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmvC3sGd1f
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eSyzBwnM5
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LVzvCjKZw
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcUgxFBQo0
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl5drcQH8s
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd7ldtaMRR
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjq4GHZ1iP
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtns2ZplOA
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BygK82t2W
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBM2vlAUc0
Tikno: "No information about killings."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPIq4O9l3f
Turiman: "Why not?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbywluYQIAl
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gRxs0k6d7
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx659nYp9F
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w6j7N7lQ3
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBJLxJmaOZ
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvtp3Jcm5y
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgsr7BKt79
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixH2UOSDDz
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVTlB2rqIy
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1gbKs9bcK
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcxD4ausAA
Bang!
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQboFZG5Np
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2LAHxe6SO
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ruXg73lB3
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWjcAE2Fmi
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHUoEE3Cqw
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVgQCVVGad
The Green Gang members laughed again.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy090RN8kF
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWDT262eJ0
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xle0AK1wb
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd00Z9Xa0ai
Karto: "We will fight!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9uMQmriYr
Tikno looked fired up.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfB8I3aLHv
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYmxLMxRXc
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJsJdYTimy
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFukAE7wZ9K
Finally, Giono said slowly:
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoouGj1ce1
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoFYR1LG5l
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaX1OAMuzS
"Are you hungry?"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrH0v8mEwm
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqIfyeIv80
"Fried rice with catfish!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz3ye6Svtp
"Omelette rice!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JusO9ZVic
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6NHMQBuae
Their shouts echoed in the room.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoW6z9PUZl
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0EexGPe4t
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqeYhQe9sr
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrzBBElMvZ
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLDW6uJlUK
Karto started counting the 50 members.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92v4vobdUZ
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsO1Tr63pU
The room erupted in chatter.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2SPRy51B5
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANcbKnrofn
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrLMgzJN7b
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuaM5ZIogV
They ate together while joking and chatting.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vSVuXNkez
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfNiSfFaXf
Jakarta was a busy and bustling city. In the Tanah Abang area stood a luxurious and elegant discotheque—one of the largest in Jakarta.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxzT8gp9ql
From the outside, neon lights blinked on the building. Dangdut music echoed inside, playing "Kopi Dangdut," making anyone hearing it sway their body.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3Y0pGo0Xq
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lkWeehHvP
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUryBBYUKfr
The place was called:
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5R65F0TEY
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6IC46HYbc
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNepSa6bZ7
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLplhvQCLC
On the same floor, there was an exclusive manager's office for Pak Handoyo, equipped with a biometric security door, reflecting elegance.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBosB89EHoO
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.
