Roland didn't plan to test his luck, so he did his best to evade Clark's underhanded move.
What he didn't know was that Clark was laughing at him internally.
After their exchanges, the Prodigy of the Ashford Clan realized that when it came to close combat, Roland had a stronger edge over him.
This meant that if they continued to clash, he would be the first one to fall into a disadvantage.
In order to prevent that, he played a trick to force his opponent to back away and fool Roland into thinking that fighting him in close combat would put him in harm's way.
Thirteen, who saw this, couldn't help but smile because he found that this Villain was worthy of his title.
'Not bad,' Thirteen thought. 'However, that will not be enough to beat Roland.'
Roland, who now became wary of Clark's tactics, couldn't help but frown.
Fighting in close combat was his strong point, and he had always fought his enemies head-on.
