The Master of Accidents

"An accident, definitely an accident! You have to believe in science."

After speaking, the master handed a feather to the person who doubted him.

"Put it on."

The feather was placed on the scale. It tipped, knocking a pill into the person's cup, where it dissolved instantly.

"Cheers," said the master.

The person secretly poured the wine in the cup onto the ground...

Half an hour later, the master looked at the person writhing in agony from a scorpion sting and shook his head. "That was just a calcium tablet."

"How did you know I was going to use a scorpion to kill you?" The person was not ready to give up. He summoned his last bit of strength to demand an answer.

"I mastered this craft a long time ago. I treat it as an art. You people only use it to kill."
