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.

History of Nali Family
"I have," a woman suddenly spoke up. "Shouldn't someone who's more capable be picked as the future successor?"
The surrounding people immediately turned their head to look towards the one who talked. From the appearance alone, they immediately recognized this woman as the famous widow in this family. As for the reason why she was famous, she clashed with the elders of her deceased husband family for more than five times each week.
"Sheila Nali, what do you want to say?" the elder frowned. Towards this show off woman, he didn't have too well of an opinion.
Sheila smiled and stepped forwards. Her perfectly sculpted body could be seen as she wore minimal clothes, making several male youngsters looked towards her with lustful eyes.
"As a young person, Laura didn't have many experiences in the world about how things work. Shouldn't someone who has more experience and capabilities be the one to inherit the family?"
