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.

Switching Side
At the other side of the building, James Wells was busy bandaging his arm. By some lucky movement, Jason managed to wound him. On his side, Jeff was looking at him with annoyance.
"James, can you hurry up? They're waiting for us to announce the new member," Jeff complained.
James looked up and snickered. "Why do you care? It's not like the new member is someone extremely powerful. He's just an abandoned stray that comes to search for his owner."
Jeff knew that it was true, but he preferred to not debate with this man in front of him. Even though James appeared nonchalant and easygoing, this man was once the young master of Wells Family. That position alone has granted this man numerous chances in the past.
"Have you finished?" Jeff asked again.
James nodded his head. "Let's go."
The two of them made their way towards the hall. There were already numerous people waiting for them and also the other two to appear.
