Up below, Hasna tries to find Vino, but she finds Vino slumped to the floor due to a blow to Keanu's face.

Keanu gasped after punching Vino in the face. He loosened his tie, then rolled up his shirt arm to re-attack Vino.

"You want to hand Hasna over to them? " keanu said.

Hasna's steps stopped, she was surprised to hear Keanu's words.

"What kind of man would let his wife become an offering of such a savage sect? " continue Keanu.

He lifted Vino's body and squeezed the collar of his shirt. Vino who was still feeling dizzy, looked at him with bleeding lips.

"I investigated the sect for years to find a way to release it from the offerings. Now you're just gonna hand him over? " keanu said before his face.

Vino did not reply, he only sighed and as if he was still gathering his consciousness.

Keanu threw his punch again on Vino's face and made him fall again.

"STOP IT!"

Hasna's shout made Keanu stop and turn to her.

Hasna approached and helped Vino stand up. While Keanu approached and tried to explain to Hasna.

"Listen to me, he's trying to give up..... "

"I know, I'm surprised you know all that" Hasna interrupted Keanu's words with her eyes fixed on him.

Keanu shifted his gaze.

Hasna and Vino manage to stand up, she tries to drive Vino back to the apartment.

"You were so scared that night, but now you're still defending Vino despite knowing he'll trap you again that night" Keanu exclaimed.

Hasna's steps stopped. His hand was still holding onto Vino who was still staggering. His breath was heard by Vino. But Hasna did not answer Keanu's words, she continued walking to the elevator and returned to their apartment.

Keanu was speechless, he was annoyed that Hasna was still defending Vino.

Meanwhile in an old, unused warehouse.

Fajri prepares with a weapon in his hand, and Vani and Hadi are ready to surrender from the other side of the building. With a warning from Fajri, they broke down the door and pointed a gun at the building.

There was no one there, they looked at each other in wonder because they felt they had been lied to.

"What'sthis? There's no one here! " called Hadi.

Fajri looked around, trying to find something. He walked deeper and checked the pile of cardboard that was there.

His steps came to a halt as he saw a chair left lying on a rope that was loosened in a circle in his chair.

"No, the information is correct. It's just that they've moved Dania from here" Fajri said, pointing to the chair.

"Well, who leaked the information about our arrival?" said Hadi.

"I think we're late to ambush them" said Vania.

Fajri and Hadi stared at Vania who clapped her hands against the dust from the chair.

"They were gone maybe a day or two ago" Vania guessed.

Fajri lowered his weapon and his alertness. Hadi was the same, so was Vania. They all left the building.

But before long, a puff of smoke entered and quickly filled the room. They cover their noses with jackets and gloves. But the smoke could not be spared, felt it inhale and instantly fainted.

***

Meanwhile in the apartment, Hasna treats a torn wound on Vino's lips. His eyes looked at Vino's face and remembered all of Keanu's words.

He still could not believe, the people around him knew about the gathering but did not tell him.

Hasna felt like she was the most stupid person and always believed in anyone.

He regretted having felt a little happiness with Vino these few weeks. Her tears were unstoppable, she treated Vino while crying.

Vino could only silently stare at Hasna's sadness. He still wants to hide the plan he agreed with Fajri.

Now Vino continues to think, doing a backup plan that he will implement when Hasna surrenders herself to Wira.

***

Fajri awakens from his stupor. He sees himself, Hadi and Vania tied up in a chair in a corner of a sizable room.

The room is like a hotel hall. No one was watching them, but Fajri could see some cameras installed near them.

'What are these cameras for? ' said Fajri's heart.

While gathering his consciousness, Fajri attempts to break away from his bond.

"Sir, Sir! " called Hadi.

Fajri looked at him and raised his head several times.

"Someone came" he said.

Fajri stared at the door and before long Wira appeared and smiled at him.

"Hi Fajri! " why is full of smiles.

Fajri did not respond, nor did he answer his greeting.

"You're really great, being able to find Venus' hideout. No doubt, all the compliments made by your leadership, you can prove" said Wira.

As the hero approaches Vania, Fajri moves in disbelief and is eager to prevent her. Wira's hand touched Vania's chin and raised her still-fainted face.

"Why? You don't take me to touch it?" ask Wira.

Fajri is further upset when Wira starts to bring her face closer to Vania.

"Isn't your love Hasna? Then why were you so angry when I touched this girl? " Wira smashes into Vania's face.

Fajri was upset that he could not escape, he gasped with his eyes fixed on Wira.

"The traitor remains a traitor, you, your father and those fools" Wira said.

Fajri thrashed back to hear Wira insulting his father.

"Based on cowardice, you can only insult me and my father when I'm tied up. Just look if I can untie this bond, you won't be able to escape" Fajri threatened.

"Well, I'm so scared" said Wira approaching with a mocking look.

He pushed Fajri until he was cornered into the wall.

"You're not curious about the story of how Hasna became the only offering that could define this society? " says Wira.

Fajri's eyes widened before him.

"Of course, you're just a snot kid who doesn't understand everything that's going on"

The hero slammed into Fajri's face.

"I.. Just like Bima, You and Vino" Wira began to shout.

Fajri was more surprised by the words of Wira.

"Heuh, victim" Fajri sneered.

"Yaaa, I'm so eager to solve this case. Such great curiosity prompted me to find out, what and how this sect could be formed" Wira continued.

The hero stared at the ceiling of the room and closed his eyes.

"Bima's sister was the first to become their victim"

Fajri was surprised, he just understood why Bima was so adamant to say that he was a victim.

"Bima came to see me in tears. The death of his sister made both parents sad so deeply and sick to death"

The hero sat on the chair that was in the middle of that hall.

"His grudge was so great that he forgot that he had to sacrifice someone to be able to join this damn sect"

"You're trying to turn the facts around" said Fajri, who won't believe all of Wira's stories.

The hero stood up and as fast as lightning came suffocating Fajri.

"Sir! "

"Fajri! "

Vania screamed in dismay at Fajri's condition.
