As usual, he was in disguise, accompanied by bodyguards and secretaries.

Oh boy! The Chums of Chance are going to have a right jolly super villain evil nemesis! Although I suppose everybody not on Scarsdale Vibe's payroll sees him as their nemesis. It's always nice, especially in a boys adventure novel, to have an obvious villain without any shades of gray to force the reader to have to think too deeply. Especially in the 21st century! People are tired of having to say things like "But the evil, vile dude who has destroyed half of the Amazon Rain Forest is so nice to little kids, dogs, and his neighbors! He's actually a really nice guy!" We're now living in a time where we can say, "Fuck you, dad. You don't love me. If you did, you wouldn't hold the political positions you do which make my life a living Hell. Isn't it convenient for you to be seen as a kind person to family and friends while maintaining the most ludicrously villainous political beliefs that we aren't allowed to talk about. As if those beliefs aren't the real you. As if the real you is the façade you put on every day while claiming you care about me. Not anymore, asshole."
Man! We're living in the best of times!
I'd probably travel in disguise too if showing my face anywhere meant getting beaned by rotten tomatoes or being shivved in an alley or having people scream out despicable and vulgar names right in my face in public! And just in case I do get recognized and harassed by people who have every right to harass me because I'm so awful, I'd always have a few bodyguards to teach them civility, if you know what I mean.
To kill them. I'd have them killed. Especially since it's 1893. Money makes right, baby!
