Meanwhile, in one of London's local parks, the good ol' British folks are gathered here today for a day of fun-filled activities. What joy!

But one place in this park is not filled with fun activity.

We see the infamous Frog Hopper standing on a moat in the middle of a local park, where inside the Frog Hopper is the revengeful, resentful, spiteful, lawbreaking, mad, swindling, thieving, malicious, extorting, assaulting, crooked, torturous, dishonest, complaining, wicked, indecent, menacing, touchy, swarthy, shadowy, villainous villain of all time.

And he calls himself...

Baron Greenback is fast asleep in his bed until his alarm clock starts going off. The toad reaches into view and shuts the alarm off and is now sitting up in bed and looking much like in a way normal people do when they first get up.

... Baron Silas von Greenback! Oh, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!

"Good to know!" the cranky toad yelled at the narrator as he yawns and slides his feet into a pair of slippers by the bed before shuffling across the lair towards a huge, closed hatch with a console in front of it.

He reaches for the console and presses a button; the hatch slides open to give him a view of the bright, beaming sun just outside.

"Curses!" the cranky toad muttered in a low voice before closing the hatch. "Stiletto! Prepare for my morning preparation sequence!"

"But, Barone! It's a-only 3 in ze afternoon!" Stiletto cried.

"It is? No matter, just activate it anyway!"

"Si, Barone!" Stiletto pushes a button in which a message flashes up on a screen:

MORNING PREPARATION SEQUENCE ACTIVATED!

Baron Greenback, still looking cranky, is carried across the lair on a conveyor belt to stop behind a red screen where Stiletto and the readers could only see his silhouette, First, several mechanical arms reach in to strip the toad of his sleepwear. These retract and are replaced by shower-heads that drench the toad with steaming hot water which causes him to jump and grunt at the feel of it on his skin.

"Next time, don't set the water temperature on hot!" Baron Greenback yelled at Stiletto.

"Si, Barone." Stiletto replied. "A-dully noted."

The shower-heads give way to a large heat lamp that dries Baron Greenback in seconds. Now properly dressed in his fine purple suit, he slides out and opens his mouth so that another mechanical arm can brush his hideous yellow teeth.

He is now reading for another day of trying to take over the world.

"And now to have some breakfast!" Baron Greenback said as he opens the refrigerator to find the egg tray.

Horror ensures as he discovers that the egg tray has only one egg left.

"One egg left?!" Baron Greenback cried in horror. "Curses! I must purchase more eggs immediately if I should have a nutritious breakfast!"

The furious toad steps out of the lair and slams the door shut, leaving Stiletto and Nero behind. A few seconds later, Baron Greenback re-enters the lair with an embarrassed smile on his face as he reaches for his wallet at the table.

"I forgot to bring my wallet with me."

Then he left again, leaving Stiletto and Nero stunned.

"What's with him?" Stiletto tried asking Nero who spoke gibberish in respond.

Outside the lair, Baron Greenback is at ground level. He sees several kids swimming and playing on the moat.

"Hey, you kids! Get out of my moat!" the toad yelled at the kids. "It is not made to be played in!"

The kids regard the toad silently for a moment, then go right back to what they were doing. The toad heads off across the park, threading his way through the happy picnickers.

"I must remember to destroy those kids after I've ate my breakfast and destroyed Danger Mouse."

A dog and a cat chase each other, circling Baron Greenback as he walks along with his head down, and after they leave him alone, a Frisbee sails into view and hits him in the head.

"Sorry, mate!"

"Stupid people." Baron Greenback said to himself as he stops when he reaches a group of people at the sidewalk.

Next to the toad is a piglet licking an ice cream cone loudly. Beside the piglet is a female poodle snapping her fingers as she listens to music on her iPod. Behind her is a fat bull crunching away at a snack, chewing with his mouth open. Beside him were two middle-aged female Welsh Corgis who are gossiping with each other.

"So my daughter Helen brought her new boyfriend over, and he's a doctor, so I said 'Doctor, could you look at my hip?' It was hurting." One of the Welsh Corgis spoke to her friend.

On the other side of the road, Baron Greenback sees the signal displaying 'DON'T WALK'.

"Please change."

The traffic signal remained unchanged. The noise around him grew louder and more irritating.

"So he said he wouldn't do it, so I said, 'What, you're too schmaltzy to make a house call?'" One of the Welsh Corgis continued talking to her friend.

"Change." Baron Greenback ordered.

The traffic signal still ignores his order.

"CHANGE!"

Finally, it does so as Baron Greenback starts across. with other people following him.

"Accused people."

Inside one of Britain's local supermarkets, an employee inspects a shelf of goods while humming to himself. Baron Greenback, grumpy as usual, stands behind him.

"Excuse me, sir, but can you please direct me to the location of where I may locate some eggs? For I would like to purchase them, so that they can travel home with me and I can eat them today"

A pause.

"And maybe tomorrow."

He gives the employee a huge smile.

The employee cocks an eyebrow at the toad. "Aisle three."

Baron Greenback looks upward and sees the sigh that reads,

AISLE 3

He looked embarrassed. He glances off to his left and sees a shelf right next to him, filled with cartons of eggs. The employee smiles over his shoulder and returns to his work as Baron Greenback takes three cartons of eggs from the shelf, all while giving the employee a dirty look.

After paying for his eggs and another trip back to his lair later, Baron Greenback, Stiletto and Nero are enjoying breakfast as Baron Greenback is getting ready to watch TV.

"Now to catch up on the world's latest events that have happened that this television has reported with the video that they've taped."

Baron Greenback flickers the TV on to see it was currently on the History Channel, still playing the Ancient Egypt documentary that was played in the previous chapter.

"Hmm, this looks interesting. A documentary on Ancient Egypt. Maybe this is worth a watch." Baron Greenback, Stiletto and Nero leaned back on their chairs to listen as the female narrator went on talking, picking up from where she left off in the previous chapter.

"After Nesu's death while protecting the pharaoh from attempted murder, Pharaoh Thoeris granted Nesu the honor of having his own tomb while giving him the best form of mummification to show her gratitude for him. Also, before Nesu's death, the pharaoh has entrusted him in guarding a sacred ruby known as the Crimson Eye."

Just the mention of the ruby's name caught Baron Greenback's interest.

"Many historians believed that the Crimson Eye contained mysterious powers and it's worth a lot more than the Crown Jewels of England. Nesu honored the pharaoh's wishes to guard the Crimson Eye so much that he personally asked for the pharaoh's permission to have the gem be buried with him to avoid theft by grave robbers in case he dies. The pharaoh understood and accepted Nesu's offer and so, when Nesu died, the Crimson Eye is also buried with Nesu's mummy."

"Stiletto, if we can get our hands on that gem, not only will we make lots of money, I will be the supreme ruler of the world! MWA HA HA HA HA!" Baron Greenback cried evilly.

"However, Thoeris have always been aware of grave robberies that occurred in various tombs and pyramids that in order to keep Nesu's mummy and the Crimson Eye safe from potential grave robbers, she had a group of slaves build Nesu's tomb somewhere so secret that once finished, they die with that secret. Thoeris allowed one slave to live and record the instructions on how to find Nesu's tomb and burial chamber - all done by completing several puzzles hidden in his tomb that kept grave robbers away. The instructions were recorded in a scroll in which she was buried with when she too died."

"CURSES!" Baron Greenback roared.

"The good news is that archaeologists have found the scroll that contained instructions on how to find Nesu's undiscovered tomb. For now, a group of archaeologists have yet to confirm when they'll go looking for Nesu's tomb. This could be the turn of the century."

Baron Greenback eyed the TV gleefully. "Oh this shall be the turn of the century. I swear that today is the day that I will develop a plan so diabolical and evil that by the end of the day, I shall be the ruler of the world! MWA HA HA HA HA! But first..."

He looks at the table which is now littered with dirty dishes, and relents.

"I must attend to the dishes that I have soiled with the food that we have eaten."

"Allow me, Barone!" Stiletto happily got the dirty dishes off the table. "You a-go ahead and a-come up with an evil plan."

"Good idea, Stiletto." Baron Greenback replied with a wicked smile on his face.

And then, an idea came to the terrible toad.

A wicked, sinister idea.

"Stiletto, I have two plans!"

"Well that's a-start, Barone!" Stiletto's voice can be heard from the kitchen along with the sound of running water. "What's ze first plan?"

"Once we find the Crimson Eye, we shall auction it off to the highest bidder." Baron Greenback answered. "If there's no one to auction the gem off to, I'll use it to take over the world!"

"And ze second plan?"

"We'll turn Nesu's tomb into a tourist attraction... at a fairly reasonable price that is. Y'know how much people loved seeing various tourist attractions."

Dollar sighs appear on the toad's greedy eyes as he rubs his hands.

"Either way, we'll be rich, rich, rich!"
