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?

The Rise of the Nine Dragons – Dragon's Lair

Jakarta – A Private Residence. Bintang stood in the dimly lit study of his father’s mansion, his hands clenched into fists.

Bintang coldly. “How long have you been working with the Nine Dragons?" 


Subianto exhaled slowly, tapping his fingers against his desk … calmly. 


“You act as if I had a choice, Bintang." 


Bintang voice rising. “You did have a choice. You could have fought them. Instead, you became them." 


Subianto sighed, standing up and walking to the window. The Jakarta skyline glittered in the distance—a city built on shadows. 


“I did what I had to do. For IKN. For Indonesia. For our family." 


Bintang scoffing. “Don't you dare use ‘family’ as an excuse. You’re selling the country to criminals."
