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.

Destroying their Heart and Mind
For most people, trying to put their attention into the battle would take all of their concentration. A slight mishap was more than enough to kill him. However, Patrick was already used with people interrupting his fight. After all, his head was worth quite a lot in Black Market.
BANG!
When he heard the loud sound, he knew right away that someone tried to interrupt him. He tilted his head to the side, barely avoiding the shoot. On the other hand, his hand continued to move in a fierce manner, sending numerous thrusts to one place in the man's body.
Jeff nodded to himself. "He's pretty skilled."
Vena didn't reply. She focused her attention on the gun on her hand and fired it a few times in Patrick's direction. Her attempt caused the man to be annoyed because it nearly grazed on him if he didn't act fast enough.
