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.

They managed to pay off all of their debt, but the Aida Family's assets were all gone. Not a single one remained as they had sold their house too.
With the current price for their properties fell down, they were all far cheaper than market price. This resulted in her took advantage of that and bought some of their companies and others.
However, the downfall in Aida Family was simply too quick and thorough. Even if the family experienced attack from the clans, it shouldn't have resulted this bad. It was as if there was something else that pulled the string on the shadow to push this family into its downfall.
