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.

Starting Their Plan
Prison
"Rei, are you there?"
Kanae opened her eyes lazily. "What is it, Oro?"
"I think you might want to change the time for the plan to be earlier. Your sister is making the letter to get you out of the prison using Clara's help. In addition, the Nali Family is holding a hearing to pick the next successor because there's a huge ruckus because of Sakura's death."
Jason was checking the news as he secured his men to stay in their area. He didn't want them to get involved into the matter because it would make things very difficult.
"Today is going to be a long day, isn't it?" Kanae chuckled. The death of Sakura became the trigger for many parties to start their move.
"Do you want me to start the program now?"
"It's better to be earlier. I can't possibly wait until Laura finishes the letter, right?" Kanae replied.
