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.

Inside the Party
Jason came to the party rather early because he was one of the core members of the four big families. They had to give some face to the Nali and the Aida Families. Because his father didn't want to come because of their two families' disagreement, he sent Jason as the representative.
Jason made sure that his tuxedo was flawless. He was already used to this kind of event and his appearance was always top-notch. No one dared to nitpick him in terms of appearance.
When he came inside, Frank welcomed him warmly and introduced Sakura to him.
"Young Master Jason, this is my daughter, Sakura."
"Sakura greets Young Master Jason," Sakura curtsied politely. Her graceful movement suited her position as one of the core members of the Nali Family. Added with her spectacular appearance today, she successfully stole a lot of the guests' hearts.
