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.

Asking for Help
"Hello?"
When the phone was picked up, Jason recognized the voice immediately. He smiled internally. "Kanae, are you busy today?"
"Not really, I'm just reviewing my study plus the work that you give to me. What is it, Brother Jason?"
"I need you to take care of the paper now."
Kanae didn't immediately answer. She leaned back on her chair. "Brother Jason, are you sure about this?"
"I don't have other choice. If I don't start making my move, they're going to take away everything that belongs to Wells Family. I don't want to see my family get destroyed like the other two."
Right now there were only Wells Family and Nali Family still standing firmly in the city. The Aida Family was a lost cause as there was nothing left from them. As for the Doha Family, the current head was struggling to keep the position safe. The condition hadn't stabilized at all, making it hard for them to move around too much.
"I see."
"I need your help, Kanae."
