to become a land lady

This is a prime location

Im gonna charge 10K per room

Six rooms? That's 60K

I can go on four vacations a year

My 'Early Retirement Plan' has official begun!

In other words, you're a real estate developer

What can you do about it!

Nothing!

Did he come to your dad's funeral?

He's a public figure,

it's probably not a good idea

But he texted me an apology after work

I see

What's so good about him? Does he have a big...

Pretty average

But I like that he's loyal

So it's 'loyalty', I got it

He already had a wife when I met him

They've known each other

since primary school, isn't that loyal?

Why would he have you if he was loyal?

Because Im his true love

Don't be like this, I really do love him

I hope you find your true love as well

It's pretty difficult

When guys find out that

I don't accept premarital sex

They'd break up with me the next day

Why are you so stubborn?

Because if a man can resist my big b*obs

That's true love

Your b*obs are too small, you wouldn't get it

Big b*obs? Let me squeeze you!

We are here to read

the will of Mr Akira Hirakawa

He's left behind a property

in St. Francis Yard, Wan Chai...

Alright, like I wouldn't know

what my father left me

The only thing he ever had was the dojo

Let's make this quick, where do I sign?

Was I done talking?

Regarding this flat

at St Francis Yard, Wan Chai

He did leave it to you

But only 49% of the ownership

The other 51 % goes to a Mr Chan Kent

What are you saying?

I have to split it with someone else?

And I get the smaller share?

Chan Kent? Who is Chan Kent?

What are you up to?

I'm about to board my flight

Im at work,

it's gonna be a while til I get off

Take care

Im the best fighter here, don't worry

You're driving me crazy!

I'm flying to Tokyo,

I won't call you when I get there

- How long will you stay there?

- Stay one night, come back tomorrow

Alright. I have to work now

And stop getting into

fights with your colleagues

It's difficult to find a job

when you're a convict, luckily Szeto helped

Honey, you understand?

Alright, I gotta go

Don't you have Whatsapp?

No, I don't have WeChat either, is that fine?

It's fine! It's fine!

He thinks he's the sh*t just

because he's Szeto's high school friend

Officer Zhang

Don't worry, Ill take care of your requests!

It's nothing!

No need to say thanks, it's my job

Alright, goodbye

Boss, Im gonna finish up here

Szeto

The girl we found for Officer Zhang,

I wanna try first

But he'll find out that she's...

Just do as I say!

Yes, sir

Chan Kent, how long have you been working here?

Half a year

Im giving you a raise next month

Thank you, boss

Take the night off

You've gotten into fights every day

since you've known Karate

You've grown, but at the same time,

You have forgotten what Karate is all about

You are not welcome to practise here

Because you fight to prove yourself

And I...

Only fight when others need my help

Your dick is so big

Szeto

Sh*t, I beat up the boss

Pick up my wife, and get her away from here

Let's do it one more time,

you're much better than my husband

Karate?

Of course I knew there would be consequences

You think this is my first rodeo?

But it's a little different this time

I don't know if this is

what my master was talking about

I just know that

I felt relieved after the fight

I ended up spending three years

in prison for assault

Do I regret it? Of course

But when I was in my jail cell,

thinking about the incident

I fought quite well that night!

My wife never visited me while I was in prison

I heard she got together with Szeto

Whatever!

Most importantly,

the little girl from that night

Sent me a letter

Thanking me for what I did

"To Chan Kent"

You're Chan Kent?

I remember you, dad kicked you out

- You just got out of jail?

- Yes

You should knock even if you have keys

I own half of this house

Understood

- You stepped on my bag!

- I didn't!

- You did!

- No, I didn't!

Keep quiet, we'll wake up the old lady!

Give me my shoes back!

Why did you hit me?

Can't I hit you? You think Im afraid of you?

Keep quiet, we'll wake up the old lady!

The old lady in the room

is very easily woken up!

Why did you learn Karate?

I don't know

How about you?

I'm gonna punch whoever calls me "Little Cha"

Keep quiet, "Little Cha"

What do you want?

What do you think?

You a**hole

"Calvin:
She is on leave. I can't see you."

"Sorry, baby!"

"Mari:
Im not your baby, she's your baby"

You're back?

Louder!

Shoulders down!

Hey, are you awake?

We're gonna go grab a bite, wanna come with?

Why do you hate me so much?

You hate me because I stopped training?

You hate that I lost the match,

you hate that Im together with Calvin

Don't you think I know?

I understand

You're upset

But have you ever asked how I was doing?

Have you asked whether

I wanted to learn Karate?

Of course I knew I was gifted

But that was none of your business!

Did you ask me before you signed me up?

I don't like to lose!

You don't like my boyfriend

But have you asked whether I liked him?

I can't choose who my father is

But you won't let me choose who I like?

I'll be with whoever I want!

I'm your daughter, Im your daughter!

I don't care if you didn't leave me the flat

If you like Karate that much,

let your pupils teach others

Stop bothering me!

Hello, this is Calvin

Im not available to answer your call right now

Please leave a message,

and Ill get back to you soon

It's your day off, I wanna be with you

Where are you now?

"Calvin:
Don't come over.

I'll call you. Good girl"

I know you're not at work, don't lie to me!

Going back to the parent who has a crush on you

If you don't reply, I'm coming to your house!

Who is it?

My boss

I don't want this watch you gave me,

I'm returning it to you!

I have nothing, and you can't even

spare five minutes of your time!

Fung Calvin, go to hell!

Why aren't you in bed, baby?

- Someone's calling you

- What?

Can't you hear it?

No, it's getting late, go back to bed

Once you've filled in that

you're from Hirakawa dojo, don't let us down

- Understood?

- Understood

Why don't you fill it in?

Because I'm afraid I'd beat all my opponents,

and I'd be left with no one to fight with

Understood

Good that you do

Karate is not as simple as you think

Besides power, you also need courage

It's not telling people how good you are

It's about taking back what's rightfully yours

Understood

When have I heard this before?

Yeah, it sounds familiar

Everybody get out!

This is my home, not any dojo!

This place is mine after my dad died!

Stop calling me "Little Cha"

Get her!

Calling me "Little Cha"!

Little Cha!

Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it!

Your father left me this dojo,

so it's mine

I don't care what's happening

with you elsewhere,

but have some respect when you're here

You say that you hate Karate?

On what grounds?

You can't even beat a bunch of kids!

You want me to leave? I'll give you one option
