"Has Mertin been told of any of this?"
Leon and Johan didn't think much of the question until they saw Hurman shake his head. "No, he has not been informed of this decision or any of the true terms that were agreed on prior to sending you out."
"Can I ask why?"
"That's because of me," admitted Keldon, surprising the four young men. "While Mertin has proven quite capable in handling business and managing the property, I have some critiques of his decisions. I've taken those critiques directly to either Lyle in the past and Hurman in the present. Most of those critiques came from me being a rival businessman to the business that Mertin prefers to deal with, but I've finally gotten Hurman to agree to a few things."
