Bimo's Failure
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZTk8ggt9a
Kembang Setaman Discotheque.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8lOMtX8iY
Disco lights flickered. The DJ played "Kopi Dangdut."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKudQZH1sf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooDyen5S0q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lIMCSsKBo
Several guards stood watch around her.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PE4qoUSa0
A tall, broad-shouldered man bowed respectfully.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8RR0VojqA
Broto: "Madam, it turns out Bimo, our sniper, failed to take out Nagini and Officer Burhan."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnoimVb9bR
The woman with the paper fan only smiled.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvQFWq5GHd
Mariana: "I already expected that, Broto…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeebvAgXhC
Broto's eyes widened in shock. His voice trembled.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI0sjjHXjz
Broto: "You already expected it, Madam?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CiZFICYM4
Mariana took the cocktail, sipping through the bent straw. She nodded.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eKnkk0HOG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSS54QK0Yh
Broto puffed on his cigarette, smoke curling from his lips.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh1RKXxk0Y
Mariana: "Even without the needle, Bimo's bullet would never have pierced Nagini's body."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPY2qOCkV4
Broto's jaw dropped, uneasy.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJPlDiYbnB
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam? Is Nagini bulletproof?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0hv3kXMeM
Mariana smiled at his shock, amused by his ignorance of pure inner force that could destroy anything.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAXEFs8poP
Mariana: "It's not like that, Broto…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3jE5hqfRB
Broto tapped ash into the glass ashtray.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4mnhPN615
Broto: "Then what do you mean, Madam?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX7Y8DOeOu
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is strong enough to stop a bullet."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkijFUqyU4
Broto still didn't understand. He took another drag, exhaling slowly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvy6uzYdon
Broto: "Then why does she use the needle?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nv8MbUhJq
Mariana swirled her cocktail, playing with the bent straw, then chuckled.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdKz96EZ78
Mariana: "The needle is only a small tool to channel inner force. Just like this paper fan of mine, Broto…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWKQdu2pPY
Broto nodded, starting to understand.

Eliminating Rani and Rina
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigJah5rnmO
Mariana opened her paper fan and waved it slowly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupjuqRBHS5
Mariana: "Broto, aside from Bimo's failure, how about the other targets? Were they successful?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ZWngMQCk
Broto stubbed out his cigarette, lit another one, and exhaled.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHz7oOiknF
Broto: "Yes, Madam. The corrupt cops—success. Arizal and Diono have been arrested for bribery and corruption."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sYIL2XwhS
Mariana: "Does that involve us?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrAHiFtW2u
Broto: "Of course not, Madam. That was our cyber team…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYtHRSNu59
Mariana smiled faintly behind her fan.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPiEs1vgSi
Mariana: "Explain, Broto."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vAu1ogOKm
Broto: "They hacked into the Anti-Corruption Commission's site and planted proof of Arizal and Diono's dirty transactions."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJRVgpbnaN
Mariana smiled again.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchSImWHtg3
Mariana: "And what about the twins, Rani and Rina?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG1Obs0uNV
Broto inhaled deeply on his cigarette.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTnDbBjk1L
Broto: "I already sent Andika and three of his men to shadow them…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2qViv7ZsC
Mariana sipped her cocktail, smiling.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8kLWYrt1B
Mariana: "Good, Broto."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1ATQVaJai
Broto: "Andika and his friends are experts in nunchaku."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BtKF3vUNw
Mariana: "Nunchaku? Two wooden sticks linked by an iron chain?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxva3LmzmVT
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkQbzSf01X
Mariana's fan waved lazily. She smiled faintly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqZMT1ODzB
Broto: "Pardon, Madam… what about Nagini and Burhan?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3UhkVuguz
Mariana: "After Bimo's failure?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi9jsrZpBk
Broto: "Yes, Madam."

Taking Out Nagini and Burhan
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlZPYVCDcr
Mariana: "Eliminating Nagini and Burhan won't be easy, Broto…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScZt5B9zUN
Broto kept silent, listening.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZsJcWPqso
Mariana: "Nagini's inner force is very high. She needs a worthy opponent."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUXmyg2bxN
Broto: "True, Madam…"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJdDtKIg6H
Mariana: "Burhan, on the other hand, is an honest cop. It'll be hard for our cyber team to trap him."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4fU54Swl7
Broto smoked quietly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr0QGXBqq9
Mariana: "Any solution, Broto?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5izqdy52Ll
Broto frowned, sipping cold coffee.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXbcZX1gDr
Broto: "For Burhan… how about we hire Anton?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR7pcF6PtF
Mariana smiled thinly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwHlZp7uep
Mariana: "Anton? The ex-Brimob officer fired for beating his own commander?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01MUJ23j95
Broto: "Yes, Madam. That Anton. He works as a security guard here now."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUexFKqEk1k
Mariana twirled her fan, sipping cocktail again.

Silence.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ghDljunF
Mariana played with her fan. Broto smoked, his face uneasy.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyjj10GK5L
Broto: "But Madam… what about Nagini?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNImXEYXhy
Mariana: "You mean a worthy opponent for her?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh2aaBGSAN
Broto: "Exactly, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarTtSWXtA9
Mariana: "For that, I have my own plan."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosn5PAj5fO
Broto: "What do you mean, Madam?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDBfJynnlZ
Mariana: "Do you know the old twins, Durgono and Durgani?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC9xP458OK
Broto's eyes widened.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7GT2S4aKp
Broto: "You mean Gono and Gani—the karambit masters?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc3uZ4bbP2
Mariana: "Yes, Broto."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaNeDC9gtn
Broto: "Karambit… the small curved knife shaped like a sickle?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUU17y1z7Z
Mariana: "Correct, Broto."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduNNmmXfJx
Broto smoked again.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKQeWWWqdN
Broto: "Aren't they retired from the underworld?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DBdLc3cyb
Mariana didn't answer—just smiled faintly.

Sawitri at Kembang Setaman
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO4d9DhO4S
In the middle of their conversation, a young pretty girl approached Mariana.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxikAeUUml
Mariana smiled warmly, while Broto's eyes popped at her beauty, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF697wJjHc
Mariana: "Broto, mind your manners. This beauty is my guest."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtdyqPI1kV
Broto: "Apologies, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbOzPSFsBf
He quickly looked away.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMZ0rWoMiV
Mariana: "Don't be afraid. Come sit by me."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2FlNhYDtu
The girl sat shyly beside Mariana.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIcDa6nSVd
Mariana: "What's your name?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL8NpfJQuM
Sawitri: "Sawitri, Madam."

Mariana: "What would you like to drink?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvSS4ETbDC
Sawitri: "Nothing, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNPlOZphMT
Mariana laughed lightly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgONhO00EYQ
Mariana: "Broto, order an orange juice for Sawitri."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftXkIw05tX
Broto: "Yes, Madam."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7Z9WixExa
He went to the bar.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpRKBr3HKV
