The Punishment [2]

"Hey, what do you desire? Money? Power? I can give it to you! Just let me go! With! This! Tie!" Long shouted, trying to resist the strength of the tie that was around his wrists.

Lucas just looked at him and then smiled. Acting as if he had been piqued by his desperate offering, Lucas lowered his stance and then gave him a smile full of hope.

It is incredible for Long to offer Lucas those kinds of things when, in the first place, he doesn't have the capability to give them. 

First, the money. How can he give money if he is in that condition? If he possessed plenty of money, he should've had a strong security system to protect his wealth and himself. It was only common sense, yet he had offered where things were flawed.

Second, and most importantly, power? How can he give him the power if he doesn't have the wealth that he wasn't capable to perfect earlier? Plus, if he has power, how could he be put in this state?
