Stan closed his eyes, afraid to look just then!
As Zachary pulled the zipper, the sound seemed so loud it was deafening!
Stan's lips were trembling, but he did not dare to make a sound.
At the same time, Zachary opened the zipper and forced himself to see what he did not want to see.
It was a leg, still soaked in blood.
Thankfully, it was not an entire corpse.
Zachary stared at it grimly.
On the other hand, Stan had not been hearing anything for a while, and he slowly opened his eyes!
He stumbled backward when he saw what it was.
However, he was not so faint-hearted that mere gore would scare him.
He was afraid that it was James's leg!
"Our location is compromised," Zachary said quietly then.
Stan nodded.
The gangsters obviously had their address. That was how they sent this here.
"Doesn't that mean everyone is in danger?" Stan asked.
Zachary did not respond to that. "Check whose leg it is. I'll tell Isaac."
Stan nodded. "Okay."

In the castle, Irene could hear Erin sobbing on the couch when she entered, in shock that Isaac was blind.
She had presumed Irene meant that Isaac's eye was scarred or something along those lines. She did not expect him to lose his sight!
"Don't worry. It's treatable," Irene said, walking up to her and comforting her, patting her on the back. "See? That's why James and everyone didn't want to tell you. We're worried you'd take it badly."
Erin wiped her eyes and tried to calm herself just then, and she turned to Isaac. "You should come to Minerva with me. They have the best optometrists over there, and we should be quick to make sure there are no lingering effects—"
Before Erin finished, Zachary rushed into the room, cutting her short.
"Isaac." He panted, but seeing the others in the room, he walked up to Isaac and whispered to him, telling him what just happened.
Isaac's brow twitched. "Are you sure?"
