There's a little movie called Bus Stop, a big boisterous man giving his girlfriend a had time (in the "boys will be boys" era), is finally put in his place and broken by the real man stranded with the couple. He's tied up and helpless just like he once tamed any cattle, horse, or whatever got in his way.

That's what really happened to Adam: he's used to advancing on his foes, weakening them and overwhelming them by exploiting their fears.

As for Hazel, internal strife within the White Fang isn't his business, and he's turning Adam's own words against him.
