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
Jay was having a hard time facing Roy and his brother's men. They were strong, and he knew that there was no way they could avoid a direct clash with each other.
"Jay, you should stand back. Your fighting ability can't be compared with theirs," Master Ren ordered when he saw Jay's group of men.
"But I want to help," Jay protested.
"There's no use to show your abilities here. You should stand back and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. Right now, our highest priority is getting out from this perimeter."
Roy gathered his men to surround the Souhon Clan's Residence. He was among them and waited patiently outside the gate. His other men already fought with the others on the street and he only needed to wait for his own turn to fight in this strategic place.
