Curious, I called Quintus to ask how he managed everything.
Quintus answered nonchalantly, "I didn't have to do much. Criminal organizations like The Dragonshade Society are already on the police's blacklist. Those people are seen as criminals and deserve all kinds of punishment."
He added, "The police just have to write a short report, and these cases can be dismissed. Besides, even if they don't do anything, the gangs will clean their own mess."
No wonder.
The police probably didn't want to get involved with The Dragonshade Society, nor did they see their members as regular citizens.
The Dragonshade Society was also most likely a thorn in the police's side for all the trouble they'd caused.
I suspected the police were more than happy to see one of them turn up dead.
After ending the call, I phoned Victor. "Hey, how much do you know about The Dragonshade Society?"
Victor chuckled. "You're trying to protect Lynn Blanc, aren't you? Don't worry. I've already taken care of Oscar Cummings' death."
He explained, "The Dragonshade Society will believe that he died at the hands of their rival, and they'll leave Ms. Blanc alone."
It was great that Victor knew me very well.
"I'm sorry to trouble you again, Victor," I said, sighing.
"Not at all, Mr. White. It's my honor to serve you," Victor responded. "Besides, your father sent me here to take care of you. So, just let me know if you need anything."
That was good to hear. After a pause, I asked hesitantly, "How hard would it be to get rid of The Dragonshade Society?"
