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.

Ting!
The sound of the lift reaching the designated floor rang out. Kanae walked out of the lift with Kevin not far from her. Patrick was yawning behind the two of them, finding the matter boring.
"If you don't want to come, you can just stay behind, Uncle," Kevin remarked.
Patrick shot his eyebrows. "If it's not because Neo insists that you need someone to be your bodyguard around because he's and Mike are busy, I'm not coming here too. Do you really think I would want to spend my time with an ice block like you?"
"Feel free to leave."
"You're just going to get me into trouble, Brat."
Kanae shook her head with a wry smile on her lips. She had guessed that the clan must be worried if Kevin got hurt in the middle of his trip to the hospital, so they sent Patrick. Even if Kevin was far stronger than most of them, it would be better to be safe than sorry.
"Do you want to visit Laura too, Kanae?"
