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.

Rick, this is Our Present for You
In the clans' meeting, Rick was holding his phone with a smile plastered on his face. He was waiting for the call to go through, but his subordinates didn't pick up for a few seconds. He felt that it was rather weird. Why did they not answer the phone?
"Young Master? Is there anything wrong?"
Rick threw a glare towards the person who asked. He was thinking that he might be calling the wrong number when he heard the sound of the phone being picked up.
"Ah, elder, you finally pick up. There's no need to keep that boy anymore, you can finish him off."
Rick was saying this with a face full of glee while the others were looking towards him with inquiring eyes. Kevin made a gesture for Neo, and the man immediately hacked the phone and turned on the speaker.
They heard the sound of weird laughter coming from the phone. The Clan Heads were looking towards each other with bewilderment. Even Rick was stunned. He was sure that he didn't put the speaker on.
