Chapter 1106: How was this fair?

If this was a coincidence, it was one hell of a coincidence! Surprisingly, everything

was pure coincidence-except Finn and Nina's presence, as Old Mrs. Pierson had arranged that.

As for Max's defense...

"So, you're saying you were on an ocular visit to find your team's new training ground?" Lily asked.

"Yes." Max nodded. "Since new players were arriving, I decided to improve our training program. One of the things was finding a camp where they could focus on their training. Dean suggested this place the other day and told me I should check it out."

He paused, glancing at the faces around the table. "Now, I kinda know why he did it." His gaze landed on Finn. "It's making up for stealing, my friend. That's the reason I'm here. I had already visited the site, so I was only here for a couple of days, and I kinda like the food in this restaurant. That's why I'm here. I didn't know I'd run into familiar faces."

"Are you sure that's the only reason?" Slater asked suspiciously, only to earn an elbow poke from James.

"Slater, you are popular, but I don't think there's any reason for him to stalk you," James said quietly. "Can you please not pick a fight?"

Slater was still squinting before he shrugged, casting James a look. "Fine."

"Still, isn't this a little too much of a coincidence?" Nina mumbled, seeing that they were now a big group. She hadn't expected this when Finn told her about this trip.

"Fate has a funny way of gathering friends in the same place!" the optimistic Lily clapped happily. "Let's think on the brighter side! Ginnie and I came here, and although we were having fun, we couldn't help but think about our friends! But now, our friends are here! It's like magic!"

"Now that you mention it, Nina kept mentioning Penny every time she saw something nice." Finn quickly added, knowing Nina would now stop missing Penny since she was here. "I don't mind spending some time with her friends."

Penny, Lily, and even Ginnie flinched a little. Their noses scrunched up as they looked at Finn, unsure if they were looking at the same person they knew. Finn, although aware of the reason behind their reaction, simply flashed them a mild smile.

"Goodness, he's scaring me a bit," Lily mumbled to Ginnie. "Ginnie, tell me you and I are looking at the same person, or am I hallucinating?"
