7. Vorteld was inndeed a fearsome sight as he walked down the corridors deep underground the city. He slammed open the door to his inner sanctum, and was greeted by Grey, his second in command.
"Boss-" the man in the grey suit began, but Vorteld delivered a brutal blow to his face, sending him flying into the eastern wall of the luxurious office. Wiping blood of his cheek, Grey stubled to his feet in surprise.
"Something wrong, Boss?" he asked calmly. Vorteld slammed his fsts into the ebony desk, making the golden vials of ink spilling their contents all over the empty papers littering the desk. "Is something WRONG!?" he screamed in fury. "Of COURSE something is wrong! I've been working on my last scheme for monhts! It would make me the ruler of EVERYTHING! And now this DEMON-THINGY suddenly comes into the fray with dangerous explosive, staging a rebellion of his own! How DARE he! Only I and I ALONE have the right to do such things around here!!"
"Well, every threat can be handled, Boss" Grey continued. His stoic calm and brilliant reason had allowed him to keep his position ever since Vorteld aspired to become the Lord of the Underworld. The Boss was breathing heavily, but eventually he managed to calm himself. "All right, allright" he said. "I'm fine. Now, how can we get rid of this guy? He is the only one who can hinder my conquest, simply by... destroying what I am trying to take over! ". Vorteld sank back into his chair, then fixed Gray with a piercing stare. "I want all the information you possibly can give me, Gray. I'll have to dash home now."
Vorteld paced briskly through the empty, shadowy hall of Corboss Manor. He was closely followd by his butler, but apart from that the house was deserted, as it had been for a long time. "It is crucial that we do not underestimate him", he said, as much to himself as to the butler. "We thought the zombie scheme was flawless, but my overambitious relatives proved us wrong, didn't they?". Reaching a certain spot in the wall, Vorteld opened a secret door leading down into his arcane laboratory. "I need to do some studies down here, Charles" he said to his butler. "Cancel all appointments for the day. I must not be disturbed"
