KRING! KRING! The doorbell at "Kopi Medan Jaya" Cafe rang again, but this time it wasn't an alarm. The morning air of Medan was still cool, and the aroma of freshly brewed robusta coffee enveloped the cafe. Rizal, in his clean apron, wiped the bar counter. Ucok was busy arranging jars of cassava chips. Nova, on 'leave' from intelligence analysis, was enjoying a Kopi Tarik brewed by Rizal."So, Boss Vivaldi really retired from the mafia world?" Ucok asked, peeking from behind a stack of jars. "No more crazy Daruma projects?"Nova nodded, sipping her coffee. "As far as I know, Marco Vivaldi is serious about repenting. He even became a security advisor for the UN, channeling his knowledge of the underworld for good."Rizal smiled faintly. "Maybe he's tired of the intrigues and explosions. Or maybe, he knows life is more enjoyable with good coffee to savor."Suddenly, Rizal remembered the last message he received: "Your coffee is extraordinary, Barista. We will return with a special reque

BRRRRRRRRRR!The sound of a helicopter shattered the stillness of the lush Amazon jungle, carrying Rizal, Ucok, and Nova into the heart of Brazil. The hot, humid air immediately engulfed them, bringing the scent of damp earth and exotic flora. Their mission: to stop a coffee cartel genetically modifying beans for mass euphoria—code-named “Euphoria Bean.”“Damn, bro. Is this a jungle or a coffee plantation?” Ucok grumbled, swatting bugs from his face. “I make good coffee, but I ain’t a botanist!”Rizal sighed and tightened his backpack straps. “This Euphoria Bean could be a global threat, Cok. Imagine if everyone gets addicted to it.”Nova, scanning the area with her portable scanner, frowned. “Strong signal nearby. They must have a hidden lab close.”Nightshade—the informant—had warned them that the cartel was led by a brilliant geneticist known only as The Alchemist, obsessed with creating “mass happiness” through coffee beans.They moved cautiously through the dense jungle, followin

WHOOOOSH! The scorching desert wind slammed into Rizal, Ucok, and Nova as they stepped off the small plane at a remote airstrip in Egypt. Fine sand particles danced in the air, and in the distance, the silhouette of ancient pyramids shimmered beneath the blazing sun. This time, their mission brought them deep into the desert, in search of the mysterious “Coffee of Life.” Nightshade had informed them that a secret cult, The Scribes of Eternity, was trying to find this coffee to attain immortality under the guise of “soul purification.”“Man, bro. This is hotter than my rendang stove!” Ucok complained, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He wore a tight beige safari shirt. “Coffee of Life? I thought that was just a fairy tale. Is this coffee or some magic potion?”Rizal adjusted his scarf to shield his face from the sand. “Nightshade said it's a genetically modified coffee bean. Said it can extend life. But there must be side effects.”Nova, her sand-proof tablet in hand

"DESTROY THE REACTOR!" Arkan shouted, ignoring the panicked Vortan scientist. His gravity pistol unleashed a barrage of energy bullets at the massive reactor. "PYUWH! PYUWH! PYUWH!" Sparks flew as the rounds struck the pulsating blue crystal core at the heart of the machine.The scientist screamed. "No! You’re destroying my masterpiece!" He slammed a large red button on his console. "CLICK!""GRRRRRUUUMMMMMMM!" The incubation tubes surrounding the reactor began to tremble violently. The viscous fluid inside them started to drain rapidly, and the hybrid creatures within squirmed, ready to burst free from their shells."They’re going to hatch!" Mira shouted, firing at the approaching Arctic Elite Destroyers. "BANG! BANG! BANG!" Their ice blades sliced through the air, threatening to cut down anything in their path.Jaxson moved swiftly, placing himself between the enemy and Lyra, who was still working at the console. "FIUUH! FIUUH! FIUUH!" He fired at another Destroyer, trying to drop i

WUUUSSHHH! The scorching desert air mixed with the blast of extreme air conditioning greeted Rizal, Ucok, and Nova as they stepped out of Dubai International Airport. Towering skyscrapers shimmered under the blazing sun above them. This mission had brought them to the heart of a global financial hub: to stop a syndicate attempting to create and monopolize "Digital Coffee," traded on the dark financial markets. Nightshade had informed them that this syndicate, known as The Nexus Grid, was led by a former genius hacker nicknamed The Architect, who believed that information was the ultimate power—and coffee, the perfect data vessel.“Dude, what is this city—a motherboard?” Ucok gawked at the futuristic architecture around them. He wore a pixel-patterned sleeveless shirt. “Digital Coffee? Is that coffee or a microchip? What if it tastes like a bug?”Rizal adjusted his sunglasses, eyes scanning the towering buildings. “Nightshade said this coffee is a digital representation of rare coffee
