Excellence and Intrigue in Jakarta: The Battle of the Ruler
This scene exuded an incredible brilliance. When these words reached Budi Winarko's ears, almost tears flowed from his eyes. The shame and humiliation he had experienced, had now been removed by the actions of Heru Cokro. This respect is more valuable than anything else.
When the UK-9 members saw Budi Winarko honored, they rose up with pride. "Thank you, sir, for your help!" said Budi Winarko while bowing in reverence.
The middle-aged policeman waved at him before leaving with his troops. He has done his duty with all his heart.
Only after all the members of the Sun Alliance were arrested by the police force did Heru Cokro finally appear in the square. Although many suspected that he had used his strength to create this situation, he did not speak of it.
As everyone saw Heru Cokro perform, a furore was rampant in the square.
During this episode, Heru Cokro becomes the main character, playing an important role in resolving this conflict.
Heru Cokro walked over to Budi Winarko. Then, he only said one sentence, "Be careful!" Budi Winarko nodded, the two of them understood each other without needing to say much.
After this brief farewell, Budi Winarko took the UK-9 members and went to Al Shin District. He Ayu Heryamin had been waiting there with the teleportation formation.
Heru Cokro did not follow them, because there were still some affairs in Java Dwipa that he had to deal with. He also believes that the District of Al Shin will be fine with Dia Ayu Heryamin and Manguri Rajaswa for a while.
Once this matter was resolved, the savvy players knew that this feud between the two men would bring about exciting developments in the future. Jakarta will never be truly peaceful and calm.
After expelling UK-9, Heru Cokro returned to the tea house. He wanted to get to know the scholar in white, because he felt that the person was not careless.
However, when he arrived at the tea house hurriedly, he saw no sign of the scholar.
Heru Cokro asked one of the waiters at the teahouse, "Servant, did you see a scholar in white?"
The servant smiled widely as he received the gold coin that Heru Cokro gave him. To this servant, the gold coin was equivalent to two months of his salary. "Yes, there is, but he just left. I don't know where he's going!"
Heru Cokro felt disappointed, but he would not give up so easily. He said to his four bodyguards, "He can't be far away. Let's go find him, quick!"
The guards had doubts in their hearts. One of them finally asked, "Master, if we all go, who will protect you?"
Heru Cokro quickly stopped their objections. He asked his guards to search for the scholar, while he himself would follow him.
Although Heru Cokro wanted to follow his guards, he saw no sign of the white-clothed scholar. "Forget it. Let's stop looking for him!" said Heru Cokro, sighing. It had already been half an hour, and all the clues had been lost. His luck seems to have turned away.
Heru Cokro believed that the scholar was a historical figure. Although he may not have lived in the past, he is definitely an experienced player who has seen many events in this game.
Regardless of the scholar's origin, whether he came from any period of history or whether he was just an ordinary player, seems to be an impossible question to answer. Even famous figures such as Duke Karna, who was recruited by a player known as Ihya Ulumuddin, were no exception.
According to various sources, Ihya Ulumuddin was a powerful leader in Jakarta. After recruiting Duke Karna, his reputation skyrocketed in the area, and he became the leader of an influential alliance.
Even a number of figures from the Pandawa Era seem to have played a role in this game. The players attempt to keep their identities a secret, but as their alliances grow and their relationships grow, their identities begin to unfold on the game forums.
However, one of the most striking things was the role of Wrekudara, who held an important role in the Empire. Not many know how Prabowo Sugianto, the player who controls Wrekudara, managed to convince such a great character.
Wrekudara could be said to be on par with Ashwatama, perhaps even stronger. When the White Rat, Heru Cokro's bodyguard, was disappointed, he tried to give a suggestion, "Master, maybe we can find a clue if we go back. With such a scholarly scholarly nature, perhaps he frequented one teahouse."
When Heru Cokro heard this, his eyes twinkled, "You're right! Why didn't I think of that before?"
He ordered the guards to return to the tea house. After a while, all the bodyguards had returned, but they had not managed to find any clues.
Heru Cokro did not feel hopeless. He then met a waiter at the teahouse and asked, "Did these white-clothed scholars often visit this teahouse?"
The servant, realizing that he was talking to a ruler, replied politely, "Master, you have asked the right person. That guy doesn't come every day; he only comes when our tea house has a chess match."
Heru Cokro nodded, "When is the next match?"
The servant replied, "In five days!"
Hearing this, Heru Cokro gave another gold coin to the servant and said, "I will be back in five days. Please book a room for me. If the master I am looking for comes before me, please take him to the room. Do you understand?"
The servant gladly agreed to the request, considering it an act of generosity from a noble.
After leaving the teahouse, Heru Cokro arrived at the Jakarta Office, a relatively small place in the context of this capital city.
The White Rat followed him and asked, "Master, are you ready to wait in Jakarta or?"
Heru Cokro thought about the situation, "I will stay here. In the meantime, I will take care of the matter with the Sun Alliance."
The White Rat nodded, "Your goal is?"
Heru Cokro replied, "Call one or two guilds in Jakarta. I think they'll be interested in working with us."
For him, facing the Sun Alliance would not be easy, especially due to the interference from Jala Mangkara during the previous god weapon auction.
If there was a chance, Heru Cokro would be happy to give them the lessons they deserved. Although there were new adventurer players coming, they did not yet have the ability to compete with the Sun Alliance. This was why they needed the support of Heru Cokro.
However, at the end of the game, this situation will change. Currently, Heru Cokro felt that he was strong enough to face Jala Mangkara.
When the White Rat heard those words, his eyes shone, "I understand. No need to worry, sir. Everything will happen in two days."
Heru Cokro simply nodded in response, without adding any other words.
