The sound of the gunshot was exceptionally terrifying and numbing in the silent place. But since Rachel's manor was separated from the other manors by quite some distance, not many people heard it, and even the ones who could hear it, never in their minds did they assume it to be a gunshot.
So, neither Joshua nor his men cared about it and a gunfight ensued between the two groups of people.
Joshua had not been discreet in his entry, forcing almost all the men in the manor to rush towards him. This way, he could leave a gap for Tim to enter in rescue Rachel. His friend's safety was his priority. Even though Noah had said nothing to him, he clearly knew what was expected of him.
Not only Joshua had to rescue Rachel, he also had to take care of Daniel while making sure that he stayed careful himself. Otherwise, not only Noah and Ian there would be another person willing to chop him into pieces for his negligence.
