Claudia grunted in pain and even coughed some blood.
Adeline broke the rope that was tying her hands together and then threw the blindfold away from her face. She saw the state that Claudia was in and inched towards her in pity. She thought that her body was still numb and thus she had exerted a little greater force than usual to throw Claudia down. But she ended up hurting Claudia more than what she had wanted.
"Let's stop this fight here and go home," Adeline said to Claudia and offered Claudia her hand.
But Claudia slapped Adeline's hand away. She glared at Adeline, not wanting to yield. And while still glaring at Adeline, she spat the blood that was in her mouth as though she was belittling Adeline. "You behave as though you don't want to fight us but then you do this to me? You are actually enjoying beating me up, aren't you?"
