When Max had gotten the invitation he was worried that there might be something more behind it. But the Black Houndgang was big enough and had enough legacy to work through things in different ways, not just through brute force.
This was why Max was more so confident about appearing now in front of them, because he thought that he might be able to settle some of the bad blood between them without fighting.

Although Max did want to get his money back and more from what he had lost due to the stupidness of the Stable family, he didn't want to start a full-scale fight just yet. The costs were too high.
