Capítulo 170: The Intentions

Poul briefed Jonathan about his decision of acquiring lands in Texas, Wyoming, and the Appalachian Basin. As soon as he finished briefing, Jonathan exclaimed softly.

"So that was it huh? He is threatened because he sees that acquiring lands over those regions that we are going to compete against him." 

"That's the only logical explanation I can come up with," Poul concurred. "Though I must say, how the hell did he learn about the acquisition? Was there some sort of a leak?" 

"Who knows, maybe Rockefeller has some spies or prospectors in the area reporting under him. He is an oil magnate, and they have been on a constant lookout for the regions that have oil," Jonathan said.
