Vijay kept staring at the door even after Jalandhar had left the room.
He was lost in thought, now that his ambition for Southeast Asia had become crystal clear, he was wondering how he could use the rebels in the Indonesian archipelago and whether they would still cooperate with the Bharatiya Empire as before. It wasn't until a servant entered the room with a beverage that he woke up from his stupor.
"Well, I guess I will take the matter one step at a time. If worst comes to worst, we can just use force," Vijay decided in his mind.
Drinking the hot milk, he returned to the work he was doing before the meeting with Jalandhar.
