Who has "power" in this text? How does that power get shown?

In my book Run The Game the main character who has the most power are the drug dealers and one of the protagonist Lion. The drug dealers have power because if their customers don’t pay them back therefore the can slit your throat or kill you. In this book the dealers have all right to threaten their customers that are in debt because they feel like leaders in this case. Lion, known as the “big guy” if people get in his way or don’t do what he wants he will slit his or her throat because he feels like everyone should praise him just because he is protected by the police.

This power gets shown in the book because when Lion was at the lounge the waiter got his friends order worn g and he split his throat. Many people in this small town fear him. When Alexander paid his money late, the dealer threatened to kill him in the A-Lot. People that feel like the upper class/bad boys threaten many people in this book.
