Joe Ga didn't have a particularly good understanding of Eric's work and wasn't sure how to comfort him about his so-called "being trapped."
The situation indeed sucked, having a bucket of cold water dumped on one's head just when they thought their prospects were limitless—it was definitely a bitingly sour experience.
There wasn't much Joe Ga could do to help with this matter because by the look on Eric's face, he could tell that Eric had already roughly guessed who wanted to trap him.
It definitely wasn't someone on his side—if he had been betrayed, he would be acting far more desperate by now.
It had to be someone from the rival camp.
Joe Ga didn't want to guess the specifics because the matter was a big hassle.
It wasn't a case of touching it and dying, but in this matter, once a stand was wrongly taken between America and France, it would stink for a long time.
If what Eric referred to as "being trapped" held true, then it implied that America was at fault in this matter.
