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.

Death (1)
While Kanae couldn't perceive what had happened in that short time frame, it was completely different from the other two. Neo saw clearly how Kevin suddenly pulled Rei from behind towards the cliff.
His face was stricken with horror at the realization of what his Boss planned to do. It was clear that he wanted to get away using the water, but there was a large problem. The sea was extremely violent and under the heavy downpour like this, there was no guarantee that they could return safely.
This plan was the same as suicide.
Unfortunately, both him and Mike were located far away from the cliff. They were closer to the forest because Mike charged at Megara and the men before him while Neo tried to avoid the bullets by moving around.
"BOOOOOOSSSSSSSS!" Neo yelled as hard as he could as despair enveloped his entire body.
No..
Not like this….
Hearing Neo's voice, Mike's gaze landed on Kevin. He followed suit in despair. "BOOOOOOSSSSSSSS!"
