I'm not so sure about that. Making him wonder how Lucy could have possibly escaped Alegria would have slightly undermined the appearance of him being in full controll of the situation and completely unworried about anything the Humans could possilby try to do, while the comment about chance avoided this.

With the title of the next chapter, I havn't given up hope for a better explanation just yet.
