    The banker believes that capital punishment or death penalty is more humane than life imprisonment. However, a young lawyer disagreed his view, saying that he would rather live a longer life in prison than suffer death.

    Because the confrontation happened in the party hosted by the banker; where important guests bore witness, the banker wagered against the belief of the young lawyer to save face and insist that his view is the right one.
