Schmidt's expression was gloomy; he could already imagine the kind of reproaches he would face. As the Star Alliance representative, becoming the deputy commander of this collaborative effort seemed to have ended in consecutive failures.
He initially thought that the Three Great Civilizations joining forces was a chance to claim glory, but the result turned out like this. He regretted getting himself involved in this mess.
At least he didn't lose composure like Heins. Instead, he looked at Holmes and said, "Since you've discovered Azure Dragon and have the Void Anchor in hand, how come you didn't catch him?"
There was a hint of blame in his words.
Heins snarled like a provoked dog, "What do you mean, trying to throw this blame onto the Federation?"
Schmidt furrowed his brows but didn't speak before Holmes responded, "Indeed, I have responsibility in this matter."
