The Shaman referred to them as his saviours, but didn't they want him to suffer? While A'Mila could have had a change of heart, the same couldn't be said about Akila, who still viewed Adrian as a criminal.
While Adrian was lost in his thoughts, Akila moved forward, and the others instinctively retreated. Something was about to happen, and everyone else seemed aware of it except for Adrian.
The next moment, Akila lunged forward before Adrian could grasp the situation, landing a swift blow to Adrian's abdomen. He was forced to take a few steps back, hunched over and caressing his stomach. Though Akila's blow didn't inflict as much pain as before, it still made him wince.
