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.

Vena's friend shot a glare towards Kanae. "Why are you spouting nonsense? There's no way our busy princess will come to a small company like yours out of the blue like that."
"Yeah, that's right! Your place is not worthy for a big figure like her," the other one chirped in.
Kanae smiled slightly. "Your princess has not even answered, but you already chirped in. Shouldn't you wait for her to confirm the truth first?"
Behind Kanae, Laura felt the sense that she would be safe. It has always been this way since the past. Staying near Kanae gave her the sense of comfort and the feeling that whatever was thrown to them, she could handle them all very well.
Vena controlled her expression very well. Even when her trick was on the brink of being revealed, she still exerted excellent control. "I'm just visiting you because we already know each other in the past. The matter of the company being bad doesn't have any relation with each other."
