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.

Unexpected Meeting
A Few Hours Before
After Kevin had visited Kanae's sister's apartment, he returned back to class. Although his body was present inside the classroom, he barely paid any attention to the lesson. As the clan head, he had already mastered the entire school curriculum, so he didn't really need to listen anymore.
"Neo, what have you found?"
Kevin's displeased tone caused sweat to roll down on Neo's back. Come on, he had just started searching for the information. Couldn't you wait a bit more? He was not a godly hacker that could do everything in a matter of seconds.
"Please wait a minute Boss."
"One minute."
"…" don't take it literally.
In the end, Neo struggled quite a bit before he compiled a complete analysis of the events that happened at the party. Most of the cameras were destroyed that night, but he managed to find a few who still retained some footage.
