Joshua took a deep breath and said, "I think I should help him with his wish."
His words made the Flores family and Lily panic. They had determined that Joshua had felt some deep guilt or affection for them because of their son, and he would not go hard on them. That was why they dared to be so arrogant, but things were not exactly what they imagined.
Joshua used to be nice to them, perhaps because they were the parents of his friend. He didn't retaliate against them, perhaps because he was condescending, or perhaps because he knew that Jughead was actually craving for affection deep down in his heart.
But no matter what the reason was, they had consumed all of Joshua's patience, and there was no reason to be easy on them.
"Joshua... No, Mr. Denmark, you can't do this to us." Lanny said. He was terrified and quickly said, "You know that he was angry, he didn't really mean it. Wherever he is, he would be sad if he knew that you were doing this to us!"
