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.

Man of the Present
"Let me take over, Rei."
"Ok."
Patrick looked at Jon with inquiry. "I haven't gotten the chance to meet with you for a long time because I have been staying in prison for a long time. But there's one thing that I remember very clearly, which is the change of successor in the Aida Family."
Jon chuckled. "I'll answer that question but not from you. I have other guests today."
"Randy and Vena?" Kanae arched her eyebrows.
"Yes."
"If you say so," Patrick shrugged. "Should I pose more questions to you? I'm sure that you know the reason for our coming today."
Jon nodded his head. "I know you want to ask more about Ferdinand and his plan after breaking out spectacularly from the rubbles. Unfortunately, I don't have the answer for you. My relationship with Ferdinand is merely a profitable deal type of relationship. He gets what he wants, and I get what I want without meddling into his matter too deep."
"Why do you help him?" Kanae asked.
