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.

The Nali Family's Main Residence
After the commotion at the party was over, Frank returned with Sakura back to his mansion, the one he owned personally. It was different from the mansion that he took from Kanae and Laura. One look and people would be able to see that this was truly a magnificent residence, much better than the one where Sakura had stayed all this time.
Frank looked towards the mess in front of him with despair written all over his face. His daughter was still within his embrace, but he knew that they might not have a way out anymore. The secret was out, and he wouldn't be able to hide it from the government.
"Master, are you alright?" one of his subordinates walked over.
Frank threw a mocking glance. "Prepare the room. She needs to rest."
"Yes, Master."
