"Mr. Kirkby," David called out as he nervously took a seat in the chair indicated by Tiger.

Tiger was a prominent figure in Salt City's underworld scene, leading the local gangs for years. His presence commanded respect, striking fear even in the younger gang members.

Tiger nodded and had someone bring a cup, placing it in front of David. He was generally courteous to his subordinates.

Tiger said calmly, "Speak. What's the situation?"

David took a sip of his tea, trying to ease his anxiety.
