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.

Frank Nali’s Death (2)
"I won't let you off!"
Frank charged to Kanae once again. His hand took the knife he kept inside his clothes. The sound of metal clashing reverberated in the hall.
Clang!
"You won't be able to defeat me with this little strength," Kanae said coldly.
Changing the trajectory of her knife, she swung it several times at Frank's direction. The blade created numerous slashes on the man's arm, body, and clothes. Blood started to drip down from the numerous wounds that Kanae made on him.
Frank's face contorted as he pulled a small gun from his inner pocket. It was an emergency gun that he always kept for safety measure.
Bang! Bang!
Kanae jumped to the back and evaded the attack. Her eyes watched her uncle with wariness as Frank was glaring at her with hatred. The small gun could only keep two bullets inside, so there would be no more bullets he could use.
