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.

Kevin looked at Taro's expression with an indifferent gaze. There was not even a millimeter change in his expression, but the others could feel that the atmosphere seemed to change slightly. "Are you sure about your decision?"
"It's not my decision alone, but it's also what James wants," Taro explained. "Should I call him here to talk with you?"
"I'll just go visit him," Kevin stood up calmly.
"I'll come with you."
"Me too!"
"Only Kanae and Uncle can come," Kevin ordered strictly, his tone was rather cold and indifferent. This caused the others to be rather surprised, but they knew better than to offend him. Neo and Mike listlessly returned back to their place. Internally, they complained about the unfair treatment. They wanted to hear what James said too!
In the living room, James was playing with his drawing book. He lifted his head when he heard them coming back.
"Brother Kevin, Sister Kanae," James waved his hand excitedly.
