Chapter 27 - The Return to Grady Ranch

The journey back to the ranch was a triumphant procession. News of the gold's discovery and Harrington’s arrest spread quickly across the territory, exposing the syndicate's corruption to the federal government. When the convoy rode through the gates of Grady Ranch, the entire staff cheered, throwing their hats into the air. The heavy iron chest was brought into the main dining room, its contents officially verified and recorded by the territorial marshal to secure the ranch deed once and for all.
