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.

Destination: Ryukalin Clan
The ship belonged to the government could reach higher speed compared with the ship owned by Ryukalin Clan. It took them less time to reach the port with the other ship still chasing behind them like a cat chasing mice.
"Don't we need to shake them off?" Kanae asked curiously.
"We're already at the highest speed," Patrick replied. "Besides, I don't think I can land the ship safely at this speed."
"Then slow down, Father!"
"The machine broke."
"How did it break?"
Patrick smiled sheepishly. "I think I pulled it too hard when I started the engine before."
"FATHER!!!"
Kevin shook his head when he saw the two of them arguing. He should have never trusted his uncle to drive the ship in the first place. Knowing his uncle's strength, he might have just used a tad too much strength when pulling the handle.
"Uncle, head straight to the rock," Kevin pointed to the rock not far from them.
