Part 3/9:
The narrative escalates over a cattle transaction marred by suspicion and treachery. Morgan attempts to buy cattle from Gil McLoud, but negotiations are tense and loaded with underlying accusations. The sale symbolizes more than commerce—it reflects the fragile balance between legality and lawlessness.
Conflict intensifies when Morgan prepares to leave town, announcing his departure to marry Ellie, seeking a new start. His farewell is tinged with unease, as he warns that a new marshal will soon arrive, promising change and possibly trouble for those with secret agendas.
