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.

Not a Father
"I don't think it's a bad idea," Kanae remarked when Kevin visited her in the hospital.
Several days have passed since the incident with the two representatives. Many people had returned back to their daily activities and resumed what they usually did without much hindrance. The ripples that occurred because of them died out soon enough.
The focus of this city was development. After Jason's action, the officials were treating Jason far better than the others. As for the governor, the fat man had escaped somewhere when Jason was busy handling the representatives. It looked like the man didn't have the confidence to face Jason again after the loss in their clash with one another.
The current governor was the previous vice governor. This man was more amiable, but could be easily suppressed. He followed after Jason's order, making him look like nothing but a puppet.
