Sen De La

Deep within the hidden Lairs of the Nine Dragon Syndicate, a criminal empire prepares to unleash its most devastating plan yet—seizing absolute control over Southeast Asia’s natural resources. Their actions threaten not only the environment but also the fragile political and economic stability of the region, with consequences reaching far beyond their stronghold.
David, a conservation officer burdened with the Crown of the Dragon, joins forces with Clarissa, Kiran, and the reformed enforcer Felix to infiltrate the syndicate’s stronghold. But the deeper they go, the more they uncover a labyrinth of betrayal, ancient curses, and long-buried conspiracies that span generations. Each of the nine leaders of the Nine Dragons reveals a piece of the puzzle, exposing the syndicate’s influence over global markets and corrupt governments.
Felix’s insider knowledge proves invaluable, but with shifting loyalties and dark secrets emerging, trust becomes a rare commodity. Meanwhile, David’s cursed heritage begins to connect to the resurgence of the Nine Dragons, forcing him to question whether his power is a gift or a curse destined to doom them all.
As the past and future collide, the final battle within the heart of the Lairs will determine the fate of nature and humanity. Will David’s curse help dismantle the Nine Dragons, or will their grip on power plunge Southeast Asia—and the world—into irreversible destruction?

Singapore – 2.45 AM. Kiran sat cross-legged on the dusty floor of a cheap apartment in Geylang, her laptop screen glowing in the dimly lit room. Across from her, Eka’s fingers moved across her keyboard at lightning speed, breaking through layers of encrypted firewalls. 


"Whoever sent this leak knew what they were doing. No traceable origin, no metadata. It’s like it came out of thin air." 


Eka smirking Nobody’s untraceable. Just well-hidden." 


Kiran leaned forward, watching Eka’s screen as streams of data unraveled. "What are we looking for?" 


"A crack. Something they missed. If this came from a government agent, then there’s a backup server somewhere." 


Kiran frowned as a string of coordinates flashed on the screen. 


"There! That’s not a standard relay. That’s a ghost address." 


Eka cracked her knuckles. "Let’s wake the ghost, then." 


Minutes later, a name appeared on screen—Jusuf Mahendra. Former intelligence officer. Last known location. Batam, Indonesia.
