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.

Kanae was lying on her bed when she heard the sudden loud sound not far from her place. Her expression turned grim as she realized that Jason was correct. Showing the mere prowess of her wouldn't make them halt their movement.
She stood up abruptly and stepped out of her room. Several men suddenly attacked her. She twisted her body and avoided them all before attacking rapidly. Her swift movement caused the men to felt rather grim. She was too powerful for them.
"Rei, they're aiming for the hidden clan heads!" Shiro warned.
"I get it."
"Tom, where are you?"
"I'm on my way to their place. My compound is closer to them compared with Rei," Tommy answered. Sounds of slashing could be heard from his side as the young man made his way towards the place.
