Sure enough it was just as Swat Hong had expected, the name Ice Island caused great shock, even the young man's face turned slightly pale and he looked at the wench as one would see a devil in the middle of the day!
"Island... Ice Island...??"
Like everyone else in kang-ouw's world, Ice Island is only heard of as in fairy tales, and the prince Han Ti Ong who once stirred up kang-ouw's world is called a person from Ice Island, a person who has god-like intelligence! And now the young man heard that the wench was from Ice Island.
"Kwee-twako! Don't look at me like a demon like that...!"
"Ohh... eh...., I'm sorry, Moi-moi! Whose heart wants to believe? But I believe in you, Moimoi! Wow, I believe now! You deserve to be from Ice Island. Your intelligence is extraordinary, not like an ordinary human. How can an ordinary girl beat Kwee Lun in just a few moves? I'm even proud! An inhabitant of Ice Island calls me twako and I call him Moi-moi! This!"
Seeing this young man brazenly raising his chest like someone who prided himself on being a good friend of the inhabitants of the Island of Ice, Swat Hong's heart ached.
"Hong-moi, you don't know how proud and big my heart is. Aihh, for once, I just left Suhu to wander alone, I have met and can be friends with you. How proud my heart is!"
Swat Hong was shocked. Just then he remembered that he had not followed through with his terms earlier, so he quickly said, "Then promise me that you will not tell anyone about my condition, except for my name. Promise me Twako!"
Kwee Lun looked disappointed. "Didn't tell anyone that you were an inhabitant of Ice Island? Wow... this...," of course his heart was disappointed because the things he was so proud of could not be told to other people. If so, how could he be proud?
"Kwee Lun," Swat Hong suddenly said out loud. "There are only two choices for you. Promise to fulfill my request and then become my best friend, or you don't want to promise but I will treat you as an enemy!"
"Wow... I promise! I promise! Not because I'm afraid of you, Hong-moi. I'm not a coward nor am I afraid of death, but because I really like you. I don't want to be your enemy! Well, I promise, let me swear that I won't tell anyone about your origins, unless... hemm, of course if... if you've let me. Who knows...," he continued hopefully.

Swat Hong smiled in relief. "Very well, Kwee-twako. I trust that you will keep your word. Now listen to my short story and I hope you like helping me. I am the daughter of the King of the Ice Island..."
"Ouch" again those eyes widened and kwee Lun immediately bowed, looks like he's about to kneel down!
"Twako, if you get down on your knees or do anything stupid again, I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"
Kwee Lun straightened up again. "Hayaaa who can resist the arrival of surprising things
this successively? All right, I obey eh, can I really call you Moi-moi?"
"Who says you can't? I'm just a former princess! My father passed away and my mother, ah, me
was looking for my mother who went somewhere. Kwee-twako, I can't say much more. All you need to know is that my Mother has been away from Ice Island for months, where she has gone and I am looking for her. Also I have parted ways with my Suheng. I'm going overseas and looking for my mother and my Suheng."
"I will help you!" Kwee Lun rolled up his already short sleeves that reached below the elbows. "Don't worry!"
"Thank you, Twako. And now, where are you going?"
"I said earlier that I am leaving Turtle Island to go abroad to expand my experience, as well as fulfill the requests of the residents of Leng-sia-bun town which is not far from this beach."
"What request, Twako?"
"Some of the residents struggled to find the temperature on Turtle Island, and they asked the temperature to help destroy the rotten gang that was rampant in this city. here. Come with me to Leng-sia-bun, of course you will be happy to see the crowd when I face the gang. After finishing my business there, I will accompany you to look for your Suheng and your mother."
Swat Hong nodded in agreement. He was also relieved, because now he had a friend who at least knew more about the mainland than he was a complete stranger. "Fine, Twako. But my stomach"
"Eh, why is your stomach? It hurts?"
"Sick... hungry. !"
Kwee Lun laughed heartily and Swat Hong laughed too. Both of them find it funny and happy to have found a friend who matches their temperament!
"Then it's not much different from my stomach! Let's hurry and go. Leng-wasa-bun there's a lot of good food!"
"But your boat? What if someone steals it later?"
"Hmm, who dares to steal it? Look, the shape of my boat. It's shaped like a turtle, complete with head and tail. Seeing that, everyone knows that it belongs to Turtle Island, who dares to disturb it? Your boat which is near my boat safe too."
"Wow, then your name is already very famous!"
“It is, and now I will make a name to be as famous as the temperature name!”

The two young men departed to the north, along the coast, then approached a mountainous area. They headed to the town of Leng-sia-bun which was not far from the seashore, not far from the mouth of the Huai river. Leng-sia-bun Town is a bustling and densely populated coastal town. Because this area is a trading area that accommodates the arrival of crops from the interior to be brought by boats to other seashores, it is also a big morning market for fishermen, the population is quite prosperous. Large houses, shops, hotels and restaurants testify to the city's prosperity.
However, as is common anywhere in the world and at any time, in the city of Leng-siabun there are also people who take advantage of opportunities to seek profits and accumulate wealth in ways that are not proper, not lawful, and even It doesn't care anymore about human values. For years, a gang has been running rampant in the city, led by a wealthy man named Ciu Bo Jin and known as Ciu-wangwe (Ciu Treasurer).
In fact, unbeknownst to anyone in the city, Ciu-wangwe was a former lone robber of high intelligence. After his hair turned white and he accumulated wealth, he stayed in Leng-sia-bun town to become a merchant. At first he set up a restaurant. After his restaurant progressed, he opened a gambling house and an inn.
Of course he gathered his former black friends to work for him and doubled as a bouncer. However, Ciu-wangwe strictly forbade his men to show rude and arbitrary behavior because he understood that this was not a way to accumulate wealth in a city.
Ciu-wangwe very skillfully influenced the city officials by frequently sending gifts to them. In fact, not only money is used as bait to lure big fish and tame tigers, but he also uses young women! The hotel and gambling house founded by Ciu-wangwe are famous because these two places are also places of pleasure where young women are provided as high-class prostitutes! Even the restaurant is also very popular because there are also several beautiful prostitutes who serve guests to eat and drink and give guests the opportunity while eating and drinking to poke here and there!
Even though many residents of Leng-sia-bun are victims of gambling, many households are messy, but no one can blame Ciu-wangwe. The gambling houses, hotels and restaurants he opened were legal and received the blessing and protection of the local authorities. Even openly, almost all the dignitaries in the city became Ciu-wangwe's customers.
Those who like to gamble become regulars of pokoan (gambling places) where they can gamble whatever they like. Of course, in serving gambling officials, Ciu-wangwe's confidants did not dare to cheat, unlike serving the general public, where fraud was committed which guaranteed the bookies a win.
For officials who like to have fun with women, they go to likoan (hotels) where there are luxurious rooms and prostitutes to choose from and they get special service! For those who prioritize tongue and mouth, there are restaurants that provide or send fragrant wine and delicious food!
Ciu-wangwe's arbitrariness was not directly seen or felt by the residents. Only if someone dares to set up a new gambling establishment, restaurant or hotel that competes with their company, then the bouncers will secretly act and force the owner of the company to close the door and take down the company's nameplate! Someone else may open it, but it must be small and send a 'tax' as a tribute to Ciu-wangwe!
However, in the last few months there has been quite a commotion in the Leng-siabun township area. The excitement felt by men who like to have fun at restaurants and hotels owned by Ciu-wangwe. The only difference is, if the commotion of the villagers is accompanied by crying, the commotion in the hotels is accompanied by the sound of happy laughter, even though at night it also results in sad crying. What happened in both places?
In the city of Leng-sia-bun, in the hotel owned by Ciu-wangwe, now there are often 'new things', namely prostitutes.

new young whore. These young leaves are the favorite of the old rascals who don't hesitate to spend as much money as they can to pick the young leaves!
In secret places behind hotels, in dark rooms, terrible things often happen where teenage girls are forced and whipped, tortured until they are forced to agree to be prostitutes and serve men! And once this teenage girl serves a guest, everything will run smoothly and a few months later the teenage girl will become a high class whore to win over!
At the same time, there was commotion in the hamlets around the area. There were many purchases of young girls, there were even kidnappings and blatant robberies by gangs of vicious robbers! The girl's family conducted an investigation and they were finally able to find their daughter at Leng-sia-bun, in the miserable state of being a prostitute!
Some of them disappeared completely, some even wandered off as a mad woman! These are girls who insist they don't want to become prostitutes. Some were tortured to death, and some were raped and eventually went mad! Of course, many of them reported to the officials at Leng-sia-bun, but instead they were cursed at because they were considered to have insulted Ciu-wangwe.
It is said that their children become prostitutes. This is because their parents are shameless and unable to educate their children. Now there is Ciu-wangwe who takes them in so they don't starve. Why do they report and sue Ciu-wangwe instead? Those who reported that their daughter had been kidnapped by someone, and it turned out that their daughter had suddenly become a prostitute at Ciu-wangwe's hotel, were instead sentenced to a series of orders for insulting Ciu-wangwe.
Their report was considered slander because there was no evidence that their child had been kidnapped! Indeed, there are ways and reasons for law enforcers who have been enslaved by the treasure they received from Ciuwangwe, besides the treat of kidnapped virgin children! To carry out the kidnapping themselves, of course these magnates feel embarrassed. Now that someone has kidnapped them, whose heart would not be happy?
Feeling cornered and helpless, they finally remembered the great name of Lam-hai Sengjin, the owner of Turtle Island who was known as a hermit who liked to help other people who needed help. Especially those who have daughters and who feel anxious lest one night it will be their turn to be visited by kidnappers who will run away from their children. They immediately agreed to ask the hermit for help, and finally a group of people left for Turtle Island.
Lam-hai Sengjin accepted their report and felt pity, so he sent his only disciple who had inherited his intelligence to investigate and give punishment to the criminal gang on his behalf. Also he gave permission to his students to wander for one year. After getting a lot of advice, Kwee Lun left alone on a boat heading to the mainland. Unexpectedly, he had met Han Swat Hong, princess of the Ice Island kingdom!
On that day, Leng-sia-bun town was busy as usual. Things were still bustling and normal as if nothing had happened and as if nothing would happen. Among the large part of the population who had really given up on it, no one knew, that last night, as usual, there had been the rape of a new kidnapped hen, like a group of sheep being slaughtered. Neither did anyone know that that morning two people appeared who would bring about a big change in the city, cause a commotion that would shake the city and would become a story material for many years.
After investigating where Ciu-wangwe's restaurant was located, Kwee Lun invited Swat Hong to come to the restaurant. A restaurant whose building is beautiful and big, with new paint and in front of the restaurant there is writing in big letters 'Ciu Lau' (Rumah Arak) which means restaurant.
"Hong-moi, aren't you hungry? Let's eat and drink here."
Swat Hong looked surprised. Isn't this the restaurant owned by Hartawan Ciu, who is the leader?

the gang of criminals in this city that Kwee Lun will exterminate? He looked and saw the young man's eyes shining, then Kwee Lun closed one eye meaningfully. Swat Hong smiled amusedly. Understand him now. The young man was about to invite him to eat until he was full before he intervened. And he was really hungry!
"I can't work without eating first," the young man said softly as they entered the restaurant and Swat Hong smiled.
That early in the morning the restaurant was half filled with those who had money, because this restaurant is known as an expensive restaurant. Two male and female servants greeted them in a sweet manner. The woman was young and flirtatious, with her face covered in thick white and red like a whitewashed and drawn wall.
Kwee Lun and Swat Hong were ushered to an empty table in the corner. With a loud voice Kwee Lun ordered copious amounts of the most delicious food and drink. The waiters were astonished to hear the proper order of dishes for serving ten people! However, seeing the rude attitude of the tall young man, also seeing the two swords and fans placed on the table, they did not dare to say much and serve them.
A servant secretly told the head bouncer who was inside. Two plainclothes, casually dressed bouncers came out and walked past Kwee Lun and Swat Hong's desk. The two people didn't care and pretended not to see.
Swat Hong also continued eating while occasionally smiling amusedly watching how his friend was eating voraciously. He hadn't finished half a bowl, Kwee Lun had already wiped out five bowls. When the two people passed by, Swat Hong only glanced briefly. He exerted knowledge so that his ears were open and could perceive with extraordinary sharpness the two men who were still walking about the room, as if checking and sometimes adjusting the position of empty chairs and tables.
"I don't know them," a pale voice said.
"But that girl is great..." said the second person who was short and pot-bellied. "If he can be found, of course Loya (Mr. Tu) will give us many gifts."
"Hushh... do you want to compete with Tiat-ci-kwi (Iron-Fingered Demon)?" "Ah, who knows in a subtle way you can get him...?"
"But that young man looks manly!"
Huh, afraid of what? Such a rude person
"But don't make a scene, Lote, Loya will surely scold us later."
"I'm not stupid, let's use subtle ways. Look, they have finished eating. The giant eats more than pigs!"
Swat Hong who was drinking almost choked because he was tickled to hear his fat friend being cursed at like a pig. But Kwee Lun didn't seem to care about anything. He didn't investigate like Swat Hong, didn't hear the swearing, so he just rubbed his full belly. He looked very satisfied to have been able to eat and drink enough in the restaurant.
By that time the two bouncers had already approached them. The pale thin one was already stretched out while saying, "We represent Ciu-wangwe, the owner of this restaurant, welcomes Jiwi."
Before the astonished Kwee Lun could answer, the short fat man was already grinning in an attempt to smile kindly. "Of course Jiwi comes from far away and is tired. Our employer also owns the biggest, cleanest and nicest hotel in town, it's on the left this restaurant. Jiwi will be able to rest comfortably in our hotel, and if our Loya hears that Jiwi is a guest from afar, of course the fee will be halved."
