Lion Pride (Shi Zi Wang Qiang Da / 獅子王強大)

- Recap - You broke this jade bracelet. You have to pay for it.

The bracelet breaking was a matter of probability. Why do I need to be responsible?

I didn't expect you to also be a teacher.

If a woman extends her arm, a gentleman should shake her hand.

People with true skills have this kind of temper.

It's called pride.

Do you have any news about Black Ghost?

Looks like the guy who had a deal with Black Ghost really doesn't know about his whereabouts.

This food goblin met the queen of darkness.

Queen of darkness?

Wang Qiangda, as a man, you should take responsibility for your actions!

Don't think that you're so high and mighty!

- Episode 2 - Do you know that I can sue you for slander if you're cursing me with my full name.

Why are you taking that comment as a personal attack?

You're not the only person in the entire world named Wang Qiangda.

Moreover, there's no one else here. How am I slandering your name?

You want to talk about the law?

I can sue you for nonpayment of debt. For the bracelet.

I really can't be bothered to deal with you.

How many times to I have to tell you that I had nothing to do with that incident?

Hey, why do you always act so aloof and condescending?

Why can't you empathize and put yourself in someone else's shoes?

It's natural for a math professor to be good at math, but you don't have to be so arrogant!

They made it sound nice by calling you the lion king or whatever.

The way I see it, you're just a cat. A big, bluffing cat!

If someone else calls me by a certain name, that's their business. I've never called myself a lion.

But look at yourself.

You act all kind and warm in front of people but pour hot soup down someone's back.

Is badmouthing a person behind their back something a teacher should do?

I came to a place without other people let out my feelings. How is that talking behind someone's back?

A place without other people? So I'm not a person?

Fine, then answer me this.

Taipei is such a big place, and yet I meet you here.

Are you following me?

Do you want to calculate the chance of that, Mr. Math Teacher.

Mr. Math Teacher?

Math is the law by which the universe operates. It's the core of all the sciences.

You want to talk math with me, huh?

He can even bring up math in an argument.

But history is the core of civilization.

Wow, she's even talking about history.

Who are you?!

I'm a sound recording specialist.

This evening, I came to record the sound of birds.

But the two of you are really boring. Can't your argument have some substance?

Usually, people argue over affairs or shifts in affection.

There's no smoke or criticism at all.

I'll have to erase that recording.

You two are seriously the world's most boring couple.

- We're not a couple! - We're not a couple!

Consider it my bad luck.

I'm leaving.

Wang Qiangda, wait for me!

I don't wait for anyone.

You're seriously not a gentleman!

Daddy, it's a little car every year.

Isn't there anything else?

I came to pick you up right after my shift. Isn't that enough of a surprise?

Hey, mister!

He has a gun.

Qiangda, Daddy's going to take a look.

We'll cut your birthday cake together later, okay?

Daddy, today's my birthday!

Make sure you come back to eat cake!

Master Qiang, it's breakfast time!

What's the matter? Had another nightmare?

I'm fine.

Fine? From the look on your face, I know something's up.

How's the investigation into Black Ghost going?

There hasn't been any news since he got away last time.

Can't be trusted with important tasks...

You sound just like my supervisor. You're even worried over my work performance.

I'll have you know, investigations aren't supposed to be made public.

You should thank me for being such an exemplary classmate and becoming a prosecutor.

Otherwise, would you even have the chance to investigate?

And you're still complaining over there.

Hey, Qiangda.

It's already been more than 20 years since that case.

We'll really have to count on luck to find any new clues.

I just want the truth.

Choke!

Hey! Ow, it hurts!

You're seriously...

You woke up on the wrong side of the bed, didn't you?

Wang Qiangda, let me tell you. There are some things you can't just insist on.

Think about how many unsolved cases there are from the past.

Don't stress yourself out too much about this, okay?

At this rate, you'll have to see a psychiatrist soon.

- Prosecutor Tie Bufan. - Yes, sir.

You don't have to worry about my health.

Just worry about this case.

I was thinking about how I always lose to you at judo, but you never teach me.

I care so much about your life. Shouldn't you teach me a few moves?

After all, we're bros who have worn the same underpants.

Right?

Great.

Let's sleep. No, wait, I should be making breakfast.

Hey, Wang Qiangda!

Your task is to keep order. Make sure no one cuts the line.

And if you see any parents who are getting annoyed at waiting so long,

hurry and give them water, drinks, and snacks.

And make sure to keep a smile on your face. Smile for me.

Smile. Right?

Any problems?

- No, sir! - Great.

Niuniu, you're doing registrations. Stay at your post and move quickly.

Of course.

Great.

All right, everything's ready.

Let them in!

Wait! Calm down! Make a line! One at a time!

Everyone, over here. Please let me explain.

These seats are the closest to Wang Qiangda when he teaches.

VIP floor seating.

The price is a tad more expensive.

But it's definitely worth the price.

Think about this. Your child sits in this area.

Listening to Wang Qiangda's lecture at this close distance,

- won't that put them at the front of the pack? - It will!

- Gaining success in one step! - That's right!

Who wants this spot?

-I do! -I do!

Everyone, getting into the top four universities aren't just a dream, right?

-That's right! -Who wants it?

-I do! -I do!

These seats aren't bad either, by the TV.

Wang Qiangda!

Uncle Xun.

Qiangda.

This is ridiculous.

It's seriously too ridiculous.

Do they think they're trying to get tickets to a Jay Chou concert?

I think this lion's not bad.

I think it has to do with Old Yan's treatment.

If he promoted any of the rest of us in the same fashion, our student counts would explode.

Maybe not you. I was talking about myself.

You're dreaming.

Ms. Three Obediences and Four Virtues (Side),

if you insist on calling him a lion,

then I would have to be a fierce tiger.

I didn't want to say it,

but my holiday cram course enrollment has already—

Exploded.

Mr. Hypocritical Former Top Teacher, I'll have you know

enrollment for not only my holiday courses, but my regular courses as well, is explosive.

I don't open more classes simply because I'm too tired.

I believe you.

I think you're both really amazing.

Has my enrollment count also been posted?

I think so. Here.

Freshmen...

10 students.

Seniors is great. 12 students.

2700 TWD (90 USD) per hour.

500 NTD (17 USD) per student.

Minus the students packaged from Wang Qiangda's class.

I'm going to have to eat dirt this month.

I think you might not even be able to afford dirt.

- Uncle Xun. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

I knew you were very famous,

but seeing it with my own eyes was still very surprising.

It's rather conspicuous at the cram school. It's annoying.

The able man is always busy.

Moreover, you only profit when you're famous.

Oh, I've already arranged things for Xiao Qing. You didn't need to stop by.

That's okay.

It's my honor to come see Teacher Wang Qiangda.

And I feel proud of you, for your parents.

Would my parents really need this kind of pride?

You need to undo that knot in your heart now.

Listen to this old man's words. Don't chase after it anymore.

I know that a lot of time has passed already.

But what happened back then is still vivid in my mind.

It's extremely clear.

Sometimes, it comes to find me in my dreams.

When you get to my age, you won't be complaining that your memory's too good.

Qiangda, don't keep torturing yourself when you've got a good life.

There are some things that will cause deeper scars when you pull them out.

I'm sure your father wouldn't want this.

But a wound that hasn't healed will continue to throb with pain.

I can't help it.

You're just as stubborn as your father.

That's not necessarily good, is it?

Today, we'll be talking about abdication.

What does it mean to abdicate?

Abdicating was when the reigning king would pass his throne on to someone of a different last name.

So, when did the system of abdication start?

Class, I know that this period in history is a bit complicated,

But can you guys not doze off, okay?

I'm doing my best here.

Why not I tell a joke?

One day, while loach is walking, he crashed into crab.

Crab said angrily, 'Hey, are you blind?'

Loach then said, 'I'm loach, not prawn.'
