'Shit! What is he doing now?' Blake screamed in his head.
Clearly, he found Ashton's actions very questionable and somehow disagreeable. He had no idea what he was trying to achieve by doing this. If anything, isn't this just a massive risk? Hell, he's putting everybody in grave danger by playing around.
Unfortunately, he can't do anything about this. He can't even move a single muscle. Neither could Alice or Mary for that matter. Due to that, they have no choice other than to watch how everything unfolds.
Ashton could tell that they were worried. He didn't need to look at them to know that. More than that, he could also tell that he's being resented since he's putting them at risk.
However, he decisively ignored this for now. There's no use explaining anyway so he decided to just show them instead.
