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.

'The Wells Family approves Laura Nali as the future successor.'
'This is truly big news.'
'The reporters must be happy to stumble into this scene.'
The people around were discussing what they saw in low voice in fear that Jason heard them. As the representative of Wells Family, Jason's action would represent the entire family as a whole. He greeted Laura warmly, which meant that the Wells Family accepted Nali Family's decision.
"I'll be waiting for your growth," Jason retracted his hand.
Laura smiled. "I'll do my best to learn everything that I have to learn."
"Brother Jason, why are you making a head start of me?" Taro remarked as he walked towards them. Among all of the young masters, only Taro dared to act impolite near Jason. The people were already used with Taro's antic, so no one felt strange to see him like that.
