Of course, that didn't mean that Lin Li had an easy time dealing with High Priest Poer who was at the demigod realm. Unless Lin Li's trump card could allow him to summon a true deity, it would probably be a waste to use any other trump cards. They were all useless against the powerful enemies of the demigod realm, but that didn't mean that they would be just as useless against other Sanctuary powerhouses. Hence, Edmund dared not underestimate the trump card that Lin Li had.
Seeing that Edmund had said so too, Bradlor had no choice but to believe him despite being unable to figure it out. After all, with Edmund's status, there was no need to deceive him at all, and it wouldn't do any good to the Illuminati, either. On the contrary, if he really schemed against the Gilded Kingdom, Edmund wouldn't have to say anything to Bradlor, as he could just have him go and provoke Felic.
