Diederik van Lyndon (2/2)

If it was before, he would have never done such a thing, but after getting a taste of power, his worldview was drastically different—he would do anything to get back to the place he once was.

Diederik Van Linden and his group finally entered Thiruvananthapuram, the city with the most Europeans. But Diederik and his group didn't go to any places where Europeans gathered—they directly went to a popular restaurant where the Bharatiya businessmen liked to eat, booked a private room, and directly went in with his six companions. 

"So, what can I do for you gentlemen?" a man wearing a mask asked coquettishly. 

Diederik's expression did not change upon hearing the question. Instead, he stared directly into the masked man's eyes. "I know who you are, Alpha. You don't have to hide it from me. I once served the Count of Nassau Ferdinand, so I can identify who you are from your behaviour alone."
