The Tumba Family's ordeal was finally over.
Although they had lost sixty percent of Gold Mountain's profits, the Tumba Family would henceforth rank among the major powers of Tibet. Both the Great Living Buddha and the Municipal Official would offer them considerable protection, and even The Officials would no longer deliberately make things difficult for them. The Officials sought nothing more than profit; compared to profit, what did the loss of a thousand elite soldiers matter?
