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.

Kanae and Mike didn't have to carry Alice and Misae for a long time. Neo appeared with the car and the two girls immediately got in. Misae's face was already beet red due to embarrassment. After all, she was not used to such close intimacy. Even if he was undeniably her boyfriend, they barely ever held hands, much less other things.
"Thank you for coming back, Neo," Misae gave her thanks.
Neo nodded his head. "It's Boss's instructions. The girls are definitely going to feel that it's difficult in the second half of the journey, so I will take them by car."
"That prediction is correct," Alice smiled.
"You two have piggybacked for some time. I believe you shouldn't be that tired, right?" Neo smirked.
"That…."
"I guess so," Alice answered in a low voice.
