Port Tylon.
In a rather remote pub, Soran sat in the corner and waited. Outside, there were pirates acting as guards. There were three to five well-dressed hostess near the bar. From time to time, they tried to attract Soran's attention. When one's strength was sufficient, along with fame, wealth would start to accumulate naturally, and the subordinates under him would increase as well. Soran was not the kind of person who liked to order people around, but his current identity made subordinates necessary.
The owner of this pub was "Sturgeon", a chubby middle-aged man.
