Sen De La

The Rise of the Nine Dragons – Shadows Over Southeast Asia is an epic tale of a group of individuals facing the looming threat of a powerful organized crime syndicate, the Nine Dragons Syndicate, which holds a tight grip over the economy and politics of Southeast Asia. The story follows the journey of Bintang, a former journalist, and Sebastian, a time traveler, as they confront the cunning tactics and dark forces led by influential figures like Tian Hao and Yun Feng. 
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Jakarta and Indonesia's new capital (IKN), the core conflict revolves around political ambition, environmental crises, and economic manipulation. The tension arises as personal political agendas clash with the greater good, forcing Bintang and his team—comprising a former hacker, a diplomat, an environmental activist, and a conservation officer—to battle not just for justice but for the future of their land. Together, they face an enemy that wields not only power and wealth but also the ability to disrupt the natural balance.
At the same time, we have Heru, a character-driven by revenge and the pursuit of scientific advancements. His motivations create a tension-filled dynamic within the narrative, adding depth to the ongoing conflict between Bintang's team and the Nine Dragons.

The team's primary goal was clear: gather critical evidence linking Tian Hao's operatives to bio-enhancements in insurgent factions. The insurgency in Southern Thailand wasn’t just a localized conflict—it was the testing ground for something much bigger. Sebastian, Nicholas, and the team were deep undercover, playing their parts carefully to avoid detection. 


The lab in Pattani was their first target—a hidden facility where Tian Hao’s bio-enhancements were being tested on insurgents. Their objective wasn’t to destroy it outright but to infiltrate, collect crucial data, and escape unnoticed. The evidence would prove Tian Hao’s involvement and give them leverage to expose his operation to the world.
