Under the Veil of Night
In the City of Crime, one law stands above them all: Only the strongest can live. Fighting is normal, extortion is common, and death is inevitable. Born into a wealthy family yet forced to live in poverty, Kanae Nali vowed to become strong enough to take back what rightfully belonged to her—even if it meant that she had to face the consequences and brave the dangers lurking in every corner. Yet on the outside, just like her mysterious peers, she was no different from the other high school students living their lives to the fullest. “Under the ray of light, my ability will only make me die faster. Under the veil of night, my ability allows me to survive longer.” ____ Story set in fictional city. Any similarities with real world's event is purely coincidence.

"It's not impossible. You never know what's in their head."
Kanae clicked her tongue. She knew that anything could happen in Black Street, but she didn't really want to get involved in them. Whatever their dispute was, most ordinary people would not get affected.
Unless they were extremely unfortunate or the battle escalates to the level that it would affect the entire city.
"I don't want to accept any of them," Kanae tapped her fingers on the paper. Their offer might be tempting, but she was no longer the poor little girl from before. Her earning might not be much, but it was enough for her and her little sister's living.
"It's just a conjecture," Jason answered back. "Besides, I don't think that they really worry about each other invading their territory."
