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.

Meeting
Neo opened the gate and saw Tommy standing near the pillar. From the way Tommy dressed, he looked like a normal person compared with someone from the black street. Of course, that was only if they looked at his outer appearance.
"As I thought, you're the one coming, Tom," Neo smiled bitterly.
"Is that so?" Tommy shrugged. He knew that it was easy for them to guess given by the fact that they already knew his real identity. It was not like he tried to hide it again in front of them since he knew that it would be useless.
Neo sighed. "I was hoping that I can meet with other member like Oro or Rei."
He had heard their names pretty often because of Tommy in the past. Their codenames were not a secret, so he knew them. Even though he only met face to face with their hidden member once, he wanted to see the other two too.
The mystery surroundings this group was simply too intriguing for him.
