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.

It’s Long Enough
The hidden clan heads didn't voice out any complaint as they agreed with the result of the gathering. Even if they wanted to complain, they didn't have any basis. For the past few months, they have seen for themselves how Kevin could be extremely reliable as the clan head.
What should they bring up to voice their complaint?
As they continued to discuss the clan's matter, Alice found herself relaxing. It was over. She could finally ask Kevin to annul the engagement as she wanted to stay with Tommy and not this young man. The struggle so far has been worth it.
In the middle of the talk, Patrick stood up lazily. He turned to look at Kanae. "Let's go back. It's so boring here."
Kanae nodded her head.
The other hidden clan heads could only smile wryly. No one would be so brazen like Patrick to say that something was boring straight in the face of Kevin. After all, they still valued their life and didn't want to die so quickly.
