The Shark, the enemy in the blanket to Malik, was not happy with Fadil, then Shark bullied Fadil by giving an impossible task to all the gangs at Kuala Lumpur to conquer the area of the Beran Village. Kampung Berani is the settlement of the Malays who are facing a landowner's crisis of settlers with capitalist companies who have hired a gang of gangsters to threaten the villagers. At the same time, the area is held by a large unknown gangster. Various events took place in Fadil's attempt to conquer Kampung Berani.
