5-1 Encounters with the Green Gang
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2WwfK4hYw
The Green Gang's base was located in the Tanah Abang area. This gang was one tier stronger than the Red Gang.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡous4YthWz2
Inside the base, Giono—the Green Gang leader—sat in his chair. He was tall, burly, bearded, and had a habit of swearing:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjuOS5YSn8
"Weladalah!" and "Wedus!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBvkiYz09o
whenever he got angry. Understandable, he was from Ponorogo.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HsoExoz1R
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVgVFqQJY1
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the Green Gang's base was stuffy.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO5kPWPA4G
The base was crowded with about fifty of his men, including some trusted lieutenants.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1wfYVOnqn
Giono: "Word has spread from mouth to mouth among the gangs in Jakarta…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr95H7HrLF5
He paused, picked up a Djarum kretek cigarette, and lit it. Smoke started to curl slowly.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK55FkqW3e
Giono: "Tarno's base was raided by a woman in red. Does anyone know who she is?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1FbxylpZ0
A thug stepped forward. His name was Turiman, tall and with a thick mustache.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ10xWqlZdT
Turiman: "Her name is Nagini, Boss."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6dbdY4uUu
Another thug, slightly thinner than Turiman, named Karto, added:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2w25Bi6rF
Karto: "She moves fast, like lightning. Her punches are strong too."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1dCSLZ7Md
Giono scratched his head, puffed his pipe for a moment, then sipped his coffee.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTh4h9WncP
Giono: "Weladalah! A woman capable of taking out Tarno and his men?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYv78IPNAj
Turiman: "Since then, Tarno has disappeared, Boss."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3B1RBAXD5
Karto: "The territory is now empty."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy2fQIhpI3
Giono remained silent for a moment, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray several times.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv3QdcgYJb
Giono: "Hmm… Wedus tenan! Should we go into Kampung Rambutan and take over Tarno's territory?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqNQI1JYVS
Turiman: "If so, we'll have to face Nagini."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSyoUiGNSF
Karto: "And the police there are hard to bribe."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48teTLBW6p
Giono: "Weladalah! Wedus!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBIwgep88K
He cursed again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKpmjq3wLU
Turiman: "The local police are led by Iptu Burhan."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWw8PiPgIV
Karto: "He's honest, Boss. Can't be bribed."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8GpvowDjr
Giono huffed in frustration.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44g7B0BVKW
Giono: "Damn! Expanding our business territory is hard! Stupid wedus!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3RN6aaMjU
Giono's gaze swept across the room. Fifty men stood with heads bowed.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR9nO9FTjQ
Giono: "Does anyone know who raided the Cobra Gang?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY54qGRAst8
Turiman: "According to rumors, the Cobra Gang was beaten by two twin girls."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg20HsvzGq
Giono paused, sipping his coffee and puffing his cigarette.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdo5xyIxtd
Giono: "Twin girls?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcy9ROqh3Y
Turiman: "Yes, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOvoLzfeJY
Karto: "The Cobra Gang was defeated in front of Seroja Indah Apartment."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL2OPfroSp
Turiman: "That's our territory, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHMep7Pb3s
Giono: "Outrageous!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bcyyQDGWg
Giono's eyes widened.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavPI2T0k5O
Giono: "How dare the Cobra Gang disturb the Green Gang's security…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXsiqUXgBO
Karto: "They must be taught a lesson."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqUUaA4psc
Turiman: "We'll beat them up!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyATOqRV5y
Karto: "Turn them into nasi padang (Nasi Padang is an Indonesian rice meal with various spicy dishes)."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEkr3veNfd
Some members tried to suppress their smiles at Karto's words.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFPlV7Ybdt
Turiman nudged Karto and whispered in his ear:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpANMGFyVNq
Turiman: "Hungry, Karto?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBQMVSzJQ3
Karto grinned like a horse.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdDH0Ss4mB
Giono looked over all his men again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKsMea4b4X
Giono: "Anyone know who the two twin girls were that beat the Cobra Gang?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBqstj65zZ
Karto: "The information is unclear, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RJO5GkuDL
Turiman: "They defeated the Cobra Gang with throwing knives."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZkCv9Og20
Giono: "Throwing knives?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEdCw2fqeE
Turiman: "Yes, Boss! Flying knives."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1ybEcr6U2
Giono paused, recalling where he had seen flying knives before.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ9cQoK4He
Giono: "Ah, I forget."

5-2 Giono, Green Gang Leader
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG28BoqL2Q5
Giono inhaled deeply from his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sipped his coffee.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTMNih2glZ
He looked clearly worried and anxious.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGreYOpNlW
Not because of Nagini, who beat Tarno, or the twin girls who attacked the Cobra Gang with knives,
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOVIzOwWC2
But because of rumors about The Big Lady who was conquering gangs in Jakarta.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn1l9TCU2l
Territories already under The Big Lady had to pay tribute.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8zS97uIve
Giono: "Weladalah… Wedus…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77vtq86KOH
Turiman: "What's wrong, Boss?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPPGggAeBj
Karto: "You look worried…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIv4kerfMF
Giono extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked back at his men.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVZBZjiGbw
Giono: "Does anyone here know who The Big Lady is?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDyLVs84hd
Turiman frowned, while Karto shook his head.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVLiyQtvH8
A man stepped forward. He was thin, almost scrawny, with sharp eyes and prominent cheekbones. His name was Tikno.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQeKwtiuDr
Tikno: "Who The Big Lady is, is unclear, Boss."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg1PzOAXi9
Giono stared at Tikno, then scanned the room. Fifty men bowed respectfully.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPiM0BaXAh
Turiman: "Anything else, Tikno?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUt8EGtoxE
Tikno puffed out his chest to appear imposing, but most of his colleagues tried to suppress laughter.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeOfGtF1Hf
Instead of looking impressive, Tikno's protruding bones made him look comical.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoN21qx4aK
Tikno: "Her bodyguards are ruthless. They won't hesitate to cripple someone, break arms, jontor lips, even bump heads!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHP6gbHEUn
Karto: "Anyone killed yet?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfHlmAG9Wl
Tikno: "No information about killings."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D93JPGuyh
Turiman: "Why not?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL7k2xh7ki
Tikno looked at Karto and Turiman.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl08x3v5Wg
Tikno: "Because they're afraid."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oh1UNK5Vr
Karto: "Afraid of what?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzhplwjHkU
Tikno glanced around and whispered softly:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBnyfE7M2s
Tikno: "They're afraid of murder charges."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP2R7IkljT
All Green Gang members laughed uproariously.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOZh6cY0i0
Giono smiled, amused by his men's silliness.

5-3 Tikno
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqrCn35ros
Giono: "Weladalah… What do The Big Lady's bodyguards look like?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCKqKHjDcj
Tikno patted his chest after being laughed at.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cwYXYlcYV
Tikno: "Like military. Crew cut hair and armed."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcccF8qU0QM
Bang!
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtoN39hdrm
Giono slammed the table. The men flinched.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo4No7yoXt
Giono: "Wedus… Wedus…"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNMTjNnBoI
Tikno: "Many gangs have surrendered without resistance."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmchDGN7NLW
Turiman: "Afraid to fight!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezDWJDqqVq
Karto: "If they fight, they'll twist something and strain themselves!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WPIBjOYZS
The Green Gang members laughed again.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzJIXGxdYO
Giono took a deep breath and lit another cigarette.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLOgSY5zwK
Giono: "Weladalah! Only the Green Gang has not been raided by The Big Lady."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASOcEd8DoK
Turiman: "Sooner or later, they will come here."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOYYRTozTH
Karto: "We will fight!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FDKDuFJAH
Tikno looked fired up.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKPfVbzo5k
Tikno: "If they dare come here, we'll turn them into tahu Sumedang (tofu from Sumedang West Java)"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDyQmpkJs7
The Green Gang couldn't stop laughing at Tikno's words.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88WHPpn7Fl
Giono felt slightly relieved to see the patriotism of his men.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5675x8Tysg
Finally, Giono said slowly:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCet4iuYoz
Giono: "Night is approaching. Anyone hungry?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfRPE4qzlc
Fifty Green Gang members responded noisily:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEZQDTUYiZ
"Are you hungry?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XMggfMoQg
Some laughed happily, some clenched fists, some cheered.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3zMiv24ZK
"Fried rice with catfish!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S5amX0SUw
"Omelette rice!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU66HiqZxiE
"Fried chicken with green chili!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxnquTrm8s
Their shouts echoed in the room.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLRfzgOa1l
Giono: "Alright! Karto! Tikno! Quickly order 50 packed meals from Kang Sukardi's warteg."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdXZkeRhni
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxyQJKtJDc
Tikno nodded, puffing out his chest.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa3YHkkWN7
Giono: "Karto, count carefully so no one misses their portion."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4onhfrsMe
Karto started counting the 50 members.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVO7Cb2KkF
Giono: "Good, order 50 meals from Kang Sukardi."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR8NULwOjI
The room erupted in chatter.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTwerz9KVp
"Don't forget sweet tea!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65omTtHT4Z
"Mixed orange juice with ice is good too!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ia7HOMlUa
The orders were delivered, and everyone received their portion.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKw1wjsLfu
They ate together while joking and chatting.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2La1U4CSuf
Giono sipped his coffee, looking fondly at his men.

5-4 Kembang Setaman Discotheque
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GuxDIQW0Y
Jakarta was a busy and bustling city. In the Tanah Abang area stood a luxurious and elegant discotheque—one of the largest in Jakarta.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qx5R7npSr
From the outside, neon lights blinked on the building. Dangdut music echoed inside, playing "Kopi Dangdut," making anyone hearing it sway their body.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk1Oc737AS
At the entrance, two tall, burly security guards stood watch.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3luwFaFbjp
Inside, the main hall was packed with people dancing to the rhythm. Neon lights kept flashing, creating a dazzling atmosphere.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc9OhSSon5
The place was called:
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS7libTmTJ
"Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ271bINEG9l
Its owner and manager: Pak Handoyo (Pak is an honorific, like "Mr." in Indonesian).

5-5 Kembang Setaman CCTV
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbAKfLHBEM
Inside the disco, there was a luxurious upper floor for VIP customers.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsv6JFHSlh
On the same floor, there was an exclusive manager's office for Pak Handoyo, equipped with a biometric security door, reflecting elegance.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2pMt1laRs
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.
