Bab 1436: Escaping Ifeiev Clutches

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

---------------------

"I was trying to get Ifeiev off our back... that's the name of the faceless one after us or specifically... after me," Gustav clarified.

"Ifeiev... that's a weird name," Ria stated bluntly.

"You should hear the name of the Cosmic Superior faceless one," Gustav wondered what Ria would call that if he knew of it.

"I tried to get him to help us take Ifeiev off our case," Gustav added.

"Any luck with that?" Aildris inquired.

"Nah... He said he can't do that. It isn't the way of the faceless... whatever that means," Gustav responded.

"Bummer," Ria mumbled.

"He mentioned something else..." Gustav paused for a bit with a disturbed expression.

"He said the reason Ifeiev keeps getting to us is because he has a piece of his hair," Gustav revealed.

"What does his hair have to do with this?" Ria questioned.
