I think that Blake pretty much hit the nail on the head, when she said that Adam embodied  spite,   and in a way, almost like the kind of spite you'd see in petulant children. Obviously he doesn't want the Belladonnas' interfering, but the last thing he said in his message harkens back to what he told Blake: that he'd make it his mission destroy everything Blake loves (which he attempted to do to Yang).

Also, though I can tell you're making a joke out of it, the way Adam was talking in that moment did sound almost whiny.
