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.

"Your friend seems to be pretty close with your sister, little brat," Kanae nearly choked on her food when she heard the voice of her senior. Why in the world did he come here today?
"Senior Matt," Kanae glanced to the man not far from her. Compared with his usual simple clothes, Matt was wearing a full suit and combed his hair. With this appearance, no one would be able to guess that he was already 30 years old. He didn't seem to be any different with a young businessman.
"Why are you here?"
Matt frowned. "Don't you see that I'm coming as the government's representative?"
Kanae smiled wryly. She knew that Matt came from the government, but she had never seen him in this kind of occasion before. The one who came to represent the government was usually Ferdinand or some other people she didn't even know their name.
"I know."
"You shouldn't ask the obvious," Matt shrugged.
Kanae crossed her arm. "How do you know about my sister?"
