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.

Internal Dispute
The previous day
Jay looked towards the paper in his hand with a complicated expression. He had heard that his father's condition was not that good, so they had to be prepared for his passing. Never did he think that it would happen so quickly and suddenly.
"Young Master, are you alright?" At his side, Vero was asking with a wary tone. He was the Jay's trusted attendant and in this clan, he always took care of this young master.
Jay nodded his head. "Where's my brother?"
"Young Master Roy is in the hall. He's complaining about the appointment of Master Ren to be the next clan head," Vero answered with a low tone.
Jay frowned when he heard that. He knew that his brother always treated the seat of Souhon Clan Head as something that would belong to him. However, the decision from their father should be final and there was no way it would change.
"Let's try to talk with him," Jay stood up.
