But even counting it generously, it's only been a few years at most—far too short.
Alka looked at Balazs in front of him with eyes wide open. "You've already reached Middle Tier of the Third Stage, huh. You've grown pretty fast."
If he remembered correctly, when he left back then, Balazs had just capped at the Second Stage, not even close to the Third Stage.
Of course, Balazs had his own Treasure, so this kind of growth in strength was still within the bounds of normal.
Balazs raised his head and looked at Alka. "I still can't see through your strength. Since you've come back again, obviously you've got confidence now."
Alka nodded. "Of course. I wouldn't come back just to die."
Balazs nodded. Since Alka had said so, there was no need to ask any more.
"Looks like you really did bet right. You must've been doing okay these past few years?" Alka asked, looking at Balazs.
"I saw when I came that your trading company has reopened."
