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.

Representatives Arrival
Jason looked at Patrick, who wore suit and dark glasses beside him with a wry smile. "Are you sure that your outfit is not catching attention?"
Patrick shrugged. "Why are you asking me that? Aren't bodyguards normally using clothes like this?"
He didn't know what to reply to this man. Last night, Kanae informed him that Patrick would be following the two representatives closely. Because Patrick couldn't drive, he would only accompany as a bodyguard that stayed close with the two of them along with the other bodyguards that Matt sent them.
The reason they picked Patrick was extremely simple. There were only three people in the group with two of them unable to drive. As the other two would follow from the other car, it should be either one of them. Picking Kanae as the bodyguard would be the same as seeking death.
Not because of her skill, but appearance. Kanae's height and appearance would make them able to guess that she was still a teenager.
