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.

…
Bang!
Mike looked at Neo's direction, wondering what happened to this young man now. They had been working in Kevin's office to help him settle the matters related to Black Street. So far, their progress was slow since there were a lot of unstable variables.
"Hey, Neo, are you alright?"
"What do you think?" Neo asked back, his voice sounded soulless.
Mike shook his head. "If you need some fresh air, you can get out of the clan's residence and take a break first. I'm sure that Boss won't mind if you go outside for a while."
"If I leave, do you think that you can finish the work?"
"I'm still here, Neo."
Turning his head, Neo could see Lou walked into the room with a stack of documents in his hand. It was clear that there was another batch of documents that Kevin would need to review again.
