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.

Silence
"Originally, I plan to hit you at a more crucial time, but it seems that this is already more than necessary. I know why you know so much about them, Oro from Fiore Group."
Jason's gaze flickered for a moment when he heard how Ivan called him. However, his expression was still as unreadable as ever. Even though Ivan wanted to see him panic, he had to be satisfied with an indifferent expression of Jason.
"Oro from Fiore Group?" one of the elders asked. He glanced at Jason with disbelief all over his face. "Are you saying that Jason is that famous group's member?"
Ivan felt satisfied when he saw the elder's reaction. Jason's reaction bore him, so the elder's reaction caused him to be very satisfied. He had worked extremely hard to dig into Jason's background and activity for the past few years. Finding out that this young man participated in Black Street activity caused him to feel elated.
He felt that he had grabbed on Jason's Achilles heel.
