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.

"Laura, are you alright?" Kanae asked as she released her grip.
Laura looked towards her arm. There was no mark as she didn't feel much pain. Even though Kanae held her firmly, it was not to the point of giving pain to her at all.
"Yes, thank you, Sis."
"No worry," Kanae smiled. "Let's go back to the room. There's still some work you have to finish, right?"
Laura nodded her head and followed after Kanae obediently. Inside the room, there was no one else as Jason was out. Kanae leisurely took a seat by the side as she picked up the document about the advertising company.
"Sis," Laura suddenly spoke up. "Do you think it's worth it to give so much to me while you only get a little portion?"
"Why is it not?" Kanae asked back. "You're my beloved little sister. There's no need to ask, I'll surely help you if you're in need."
"I… I just think that you're giving me too much. I can't possibly repay them back to you."
