Red was surprised that Adrian didn't dodge as he had before, even when he could have and allowed Red's metal claws to sink into his shoulder. However, in the next instant, Red understood Adrian's plan.
"A hit for a hit," Red mumbled and the next moment, Adrian took his shot at him.
He swiftly slashed Red across the chest. Red managed to leap back just in time, narrowly avoiding a potentially fatal blow. Instead, he got away with a mere flesh wound. But the strike was too close for Red's comfort, and he immediately kicked Adrian away.
"Tsk, I almost had you," Adrian clicked his tongue as he got back to his feet.
Red didn't see it coming, but everything was happening just like Adrian wanted. Even when Red dodged his attack, it was all part of Adrian's plan.
