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.

Reconnaissance
Kevin was also among the crowd. He came to the party right at the time most people started to arrive. This would prevent the guards from checking on him for too long and allow him to come prepared.
"Neo, are you ready?"
"Don't worry, Boss. I'm ready anytime," Neo smirked. Kevin had tasked him to search for information while Kevin and Mike were busy talking with the guests. Even if their aim was for the information, they still needed to talk with the other and build connections.
Mike swept his gaze across the room. There were not that many people yet, so they still needed to wait for a bit more.
"Boss, Ferdinand is here too," Neo frowned. "The government is also paying attention here."
"I know," Kevin answered calmly.
It was not weird for the government to send one or two people as their representatives. However, the three of them paid more attention when the person they chose was Ferdinand because they knew this man was not an ordinary person from the government.
