He wanted to toy with him, to test his reaction if his occupation brings harm to the girl.
And yeah, not only that, he wanted to fish out the mole in his midst, because he suspect that someone must be giving him intel about them, because they never clash.
It was like they knew what his side will be doing and avoid it. Deals and everything went smoothly.
Whoever was giving him Intel wasn't affecting him in anyway, but he use that person to make Max knew that his sister has been taken and it was exactly as he guessed.
Even though he made sure the girl was return home safely, Max still came.
Seeing how riled up he looked, he felt fulfilled and wanted to tease him more. To make him felt insecure and send the girl away, but who knows he would go against the impossibility and attack him?
He wasn't expecting it at all, but that bastard took his eyes and yeah, he managed to realize the girl is his greatest weakness.
