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.

Sudden Interruption
Ding!
"We've arrived, let's talk while walking."
"Ok."
Stepping out of the elevator, Kanae looked at her surroundings curiously. Just like the lobby, this area was also decorated, mostly with plants. It looked far more lively, but at the same time, the color choice was a bit messy.
"I think that you will need someone to redecorate this floor."
Kevin nodded. He might not be one to care too much about interior design, but he had to agree with Kanae. This room looked worse than before with the new decorations that Neo added.
'I need to reevaluate Neo's skill in decorating.'
Several people noticed their presence and immediately greeted them with polite bows.
"Boss, Miss Secretary."
"Good morning, Boss."
"It's nice to see you again, Miss Secretary."
Hearing what they called her, Kanae turned to look at Kevin. She leaned in and whispered. "Is it alright to let them treat me as your secretary?"
"It's fine."
