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.

Falling from the Stairs?
In the car, Kevin glared towards Neo while the latter frantically tried his best to explain the matter.
"Tommy doesn't want to collaborate with us. He says that the group is independent."
Kevin frowned. He recalled that at the time Tommy helped the Souhon Clan, the other members were nowhere to be seen. They only appeared at the most crucial times and did not necessarily make a move.
"Why did Tommy help the Souhon Clan?"
"Jay is part of the Souhon Clan, and I think Tommy helped him because Jay is his best friend," Neo speculated the answer to Mike's question.
Mike nodded his head. It was indeed possible that the boy only helped because Jay was his friend. As for the entire Souhon Clan, it was clear that Tommy paid no heed and only did the things that he wanted.
Kevin looked back to Neo. "We're going back."
"Yes, Boss."
