Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Adam’s Paris Playground

Adam Thompson landed on a rooftop overlooking the bustling streets of Paris. Smoke curled from distant fires, revolutionaries clashed with guards, and carts careened through cobblestone alleys. The city was alive with chaos—and Adam's playground was ready.

Ah… entire districts… perfect. Parkour… mandatory. Chaos… inevitable.

He adjusted his coat, twin hidden blades glinting in the morning light, and sipped his coffee. Fuel… essential for maximal performance.

From the alley below, a squad of guards chased a revolutionary. Adam crouched, rolling off the edge of the rooftop. Mid-roll, he delivered a kick to a barrel. The barrel tumbled into the guards, sending them flailing into a fruit cart. Apples and oranges exploded spectacularly, covering the revolutionary in a rainbow of chaos.

Exactly.

Arno Dorian appeared beside him, eyes narrowing. "You're going to destroy the city before we even reach the Templar headquarters."

Adam gave a dramatic shrug. "City… transformed. Performance… mandatory."

A patrol of guards turned a corner. Adam sprinted along the rooftops, flipping over chimneys, and kicked a stack of crates. They tumbled down into the street, striking guards, a cannon, and a horse-drawn cart. The horse bolted. The cart tipped. Sparks flew. Chaos… absolute.

Nearby, a revolutionary leader attempted to rally citizens. Adam flicked a finger. A crate fell from a rooftop, hitting a guard, who collided with another guard, and a cannon discharged prematurely, sending sparks and debris everywhere. Citizens scattered, screaming, and the leader waved helplessly.

Chain reaction… perfect.

Arno groaned. "Really, Adam…?"

Adam twirled midair, vaulting over a balcony railing. He landed atop a rooftop, adjusting his coat dramatically. "Yes… really. Chaos… mandatory."

A cannonball flew toward them. Adam rolled, kicked a nearby barrel, and the cannonball ricocheted into a stack of crates, exploding in a spectacular spray of fire and debris. Guards tumbled, horses bolted, and a fruit vendor's cart went airborne, landing perfectly in the middle of a mud puddle.

Physical prowess… absolute. Performance… unmatched.

They approached the Templar headquarters. Adam leapt from a rooftop, vaulting over a guard, flipping midair, and landing on a statue. He flicked a blade. The guard toppled into a fountain. Another guard tripped over a rolling barrel. Arno facepalmed.

Inside the Templar headquarters, Adam sprinted across corridors, flipping off railings, sending guards sliding into each other, and kicking furniture into barricades. Explosions of chaos erupted everywhere.

"Adam…" Arno muttered, following him, "we're supposed to be stealthy."

Adam grinned. "Stealth… optional. Spectacle… required."

A squad of elite Templars attempted a counterattack. Adam rolled behind crates, ricocheted a coin into a light fixture, and the fixture crashed, knocking over two Templars and a chandelier. Sparks flew. Smoke curled. Chaos… perfect.

Nearby, a fuel barrel leaked ominously. Adam kicked it. Explosion. Templars tumbled. Walls crumbled. Windows shattered. The city outside caught glimpses of the chaos through the smoke.

Exactly.

They reached the main chamber. The Templar leader drew his sword. Adam sprinted, flipping over the railing, landing behind him. Kick. The leader toppled into a conveniently placed haystack, knocking over another guard into a barrel of water, which tipped over, soaking everyone nearby.

Arno shook his head. "I've fought many Templars, but never like this."

Adam adjusted his coat, swirling his coffee. "Performance… unparalleled. Chaos… absolute."

From the rooftops, cannon fire and alarms signaled reinforcements. Adam sprinted, flipping over balconies, vaulting over scaffolding, and kicking barrels and crates with perfect timing. Reinforcements collided with fallen furniture, toppled statues, and other soldiers, creating a spectacular domino effect of chaos.

Citizens below scattered, unsure whether to run or cheer. Horses bolted in wild arcs. Smoke, sparks, and flying debris filled the air. Paris had become a living, chaotic playground—all orchestrated by Adam.

Physical attack… sufficient. Parkour… mandatory. Chaos… infinite.

A massive explosion from the upper floors sent smoke into the streets. Adam vaulted over the railings, landing midair on a cart, kicking a guard into a pile of crates. Arno followed, facepalming, but impressed despite himself.

The final Templar leader attempted to escape. Adam sprinted, flipped over a railing, and delivered a running kick that sent the leader into a conveniently positioned fountain. Water splashed everywhere. Guards slipped. Citizens gasped. Chaos… perfect.

Adam adjusted his coat dramatically, surveying the city. Streets littered with toppled guards, overturned carts, and minor fires. Paris had been transformed into a chaotic, spectacular stage, and Adam's performance was flawless.

A shimmering portal appeared at the edge of the plaza. Adam grinned. Another world… another stage… more chaos to orchestrate.

He sprinted toward the portal, leaving behind revolutionary Paris in total chaotic glory. Citizens, guards, and revolutionaries alike stared at the mess, unsure whether to be terrified, applaud, or both.

Parkour… mandatory. Stealth… optional. Chaos… inevitable.

With a dramatic leap, Adam vanished into the portal, ready for the next absurd adventure.
