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.

Frank Nali’s Death (1)
BANG!
CLANG!
In front of Laura, Jason blocked the bullet with ease. His long sword was already ready from a long time ago because he knew that he has to be careful. This sword was different than the one he used in Black Street. He couldn't possibly use the same one as it would give away his identity.
This was the sword he always brought as the young master of Wells Family. Because of his position, a lot of people wanted his life. He had to bring a sword and gun every day.
Behind him, Laura's face was white with fear. Even though she had lived in this city, she was not used facing with gunshot, especially with her being the target.
"Don't stand in my way!" Frank roared.
In the next second, several men suddenly took out their gun before aiming to the Aida and Nali Family members. Those were the men that Frank had placed beforehand. As the head family, it was a piece of cake for him to sneak more people inside.
