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.

Back to City of Crime
Matt looked at the two youngsters in front of him with a dark face. "Didn't I tell you two to rest properly? Why are you looking so sleepy?"
"We barely slept last night," Kanae made a peace gesture with her fingers.
Kevin shrugged. "It's not really important. We're going to sleep in the plane too."
The journey to return back to their city would take hours. If they were not sleeping at that time, they would only waste time.
Hearing their answer, Matt rubbed his forehead. They looked like just normal teenagers who couldn't control their schedule well, but he knew that they were anything but that. As for what these two were doing last night, he didn't want to bother asking.
"Anyway, give me a call when you have arrived. I have to make sure that you can return back safely," Matt reminded them.
Kanae rolled her eyes. "Do you hope that someone will hijack the plane when we're on board?"
"That's a pretty good idea."
