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.

Jon Aida’s Whereabouts
After the call had ended, Neo raised his hand. "Boss, you should have just added that you want some payment."
"Why?" Mike looked at Neo with uncertainty.
"Because rebuilding the city is going to be difficult, so we're going to need a lot of money. Rather than taking them out from our pocket, isn't it better if we can ask him for some funds?" Neo rubbed his hand together with an evil grin on his face.
The others shook their heads lightly. This man only thought about money right now. The Ryukalin Clan didn't lack any money, so there was no need to act like a beggar.
"Don't worry," Patrick laughed. "I'll talk to him about the payment later. Being the bodyguard for the country's government's representatives is not easy, so they should have higher pay!"
"I completely agree with you, Elder Pat!" Neo nodded his head vigorously.
