Under The Veil of Night

Kanae stared back at her aunt calmly. These few days, she has been facing with a lot of derision from countless people. Adding one more wouldnʼt hurt her at all because it was nothing but verbal attack. Compared with the pain of losing her parents, it wouldnʼt amount to anything.

”Since I donʼt have anything valuable, it shouldnʼt be hard for you to stay away from me, donʼt you?”

Her aunt lowered his gaze. ”Brat, do you think I canʼt leak the news about you making forged letter?”

”If you treasure you and your daughter life, you wonʼt do that,” Kanae replied calmly.

Her aunt snorted. This brat sure knew quite a lot. Trying to fool the government would be the same as asking for death because they didnʼt like it. With the power behind them, no one dared to stand up against them and messed up with their rules.

”Youʼre lucky, I donʼt want to do anything with you too. Iʼm already too busy,” her aunt finally answered. ”But let me remind you, brat. Even if you come to me while crying, Iʼll never lend you a hand.”

”I wonʼt.”

The two of them stared at each other as her aunt examined the young girlʼs gaze. She snickered internally, truly worthy of someone bearing the blood of her sister: determined and unwilling to give up.

Kanae watched as her aunt walked away. It was only the very first step because there were still a lot of things she had to do. One of them was fighting for the inheritance she had. Because she was still underage, the inheritance was supposedly placed in the hand of her uncle.

She was worried that her aunt might intervene, so she decided to have this talk with her. Little did she know that her aunt would die just a few weeks after this incident because of some matters.

”Like I will let you off with my inheritance,” Kanae looked towards the sky with determination. Even if they tried to pressure her down, she would never give up.

Looking towards the list on her hand, she knew that the hearing with the elders of the Nali Family would take place not long from now. She had to convince them that she was capable enough to take care of herself and not under her uncle.

It would be very hard for she was only a 14 years old girl.

”I need money right now,” Looking at her wallet, she knew that she already almost used up the money they had for the burial and many other things. Even for living, it would be hard to have enough.

Her eyes turned to the dark alleyway located not far from her. It was a narrow road leading directly to the Black Street not far from here.

Black Street…

In the past, she would never think about going there because of how dangerous it was. She had learned martial arts, but it could never guarantee her safety because anything could happen there. Not to mention, the fact that she was a girl alone could drag numerous troubles if she roamed there.

”I donʼt have any choice, donʼt I?”

Rummaging her clothes, she found a black uniform for male. It was the costume that she bought for a drama last year. Trying it on, she found out that she didnʼt have much change in her build. Afterwards, she picked up a cloth to cover up her face in order to not let anyone found out her real identity.

Gathering her courage, she stepped out from the house into the dark alley.
