About

"In a world where information is the deadliest weapon, the truth can kill you faster than a bullet." Erlangga is the sole heir to the Dirgantara Family, a global logistics and digital infrastructure empire operating strictly in the shadows. His calculated, privileged life is shattered overnight when a single encrypted message from Baskara, his childhood friend and fiercely loyal "brother", triggers a red alert. Baskara has been captured by the Bratadikara, a ruthless military syndicate controlling the global black market for illegal arms. Forced to dive headfirst into an open war he never asked for, Erlangga stages a rescue mission, only to uncover a terrifying reality. Someone within his own board of directors a traitor operating under the alias The Viper has secretly funded the Bratadikara with $20 million from Dirgantara's own shadow treasury to orchestrate Erlangga's assassination. Betrayed and trapped in a sprawling global conspiracy, Erlangga is forced on the run across international borders. The stakes skyrocket when a digital backdoor he unwittingly triggered broadcasts his real-time coordinates to the Dark Web, inviting every top-tier assassin on the planet to hunt him down. Flanked by Edward, a narcissistic hacker genius who transforms into a vehicular psychopath behind the wheel, and Baskara, a brutal brawler whose survival instincts are unmatched, Erlangga must fight against time. From the blood-stained corridors of Glasgow to a death-defying drifting shootout at the Port of Macau, the trio goes from mere fugitives to the prime targets of the deadliest manhunt in underworld history. With a $50 million bounty on their heads, the only way to survive is to embrace the chaos and become more unhinged than their enemies. Erlangga is no longer playing the role of the reluctant heir. He has become the Punggawa and he is out for blood.
