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.

Mission
In a matter of minutes, Kanae already arrived back in the mansion. She quickly changed her clothes to the black male high school uniform. It was the usual outfit when she walked out as Rei, but today, she used this as her disguise.
She took out a black jacket and wore the hood to cover up her face. Because she would act like a naughty high school boy in the mall, it would be best if no one knew her face. The hood was hanging low, covering most of her face from the view.
"Oro, have you arrived in the designated place?"
"Rei, I'm sorry. I have an urgent meeting with my client," Jason's voice sounded rather annoyed and regretful.
"Can't you postpone it?"
"It's a sudden meeting, so I can't ignore it. And no, the meeting might decide a lot of things in Wells Family."
