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.

Matt eyed the four others. "Shall we start?"
"First, you have to tell me the reason why you're absent," Patrick remarked coldly. "I'm away because I'm in another assignment thanks to this annoying nephew of mine, but what about you?"
Matt sighed. "I'm working on papers for permission."
"What permission?"
He took out his suitcase and took out a stack of documents on the table. It was all the report regarding complaints about Ferdinand's behavior for the past few years, arranged neatly.
Kanae picked up several of them. She was surprised that there were a lot of different writers.
"How do you get this all?"
"I'm not a mere official," Matt rolled his eyes. "I have quite an important position in the government. Finding them all is easy as long as I work hard enough."
