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.

As Kanae and the others were staying in the living room, the servant brought Kevin to meet with the master. As they walked, the servant thought about what Kevin said to his subordinate.
"If you can make him get close to you willingly, I'll grant you higher position."
Right now, he truly wanted to know if Kevin was saying them because he knew that the child was rather special or because of whim. From the news he got, Kevin was not one to act in whim, so he became even more curious.
"We have arrived."
The servant opened a door and Kevin walked inside. The room was quite spacious with several bookshelves on the side. There was one big table in the middle with one man sitting behind it. His laptop was partially blocking the view to his face, but it was easy for Kevin to recognize him.
