Morgan Group had their own headquarters outside of the city, and they were like a city of their own.
Although their main focus was entertainment, they also had hotels, F&B, and supermarkets under their group - all which were available inside the complex.
When Freyja and Yuki arrived at the main building to register for the Academy, they were welcomed by the handsome receptionist that looked like a model himself, and he gave them the schedules and the access card to the elevator that would take them to the classes, cafeteria, break room and also gym, sauna and pool.
"Please take the access card with you all the time so that you can use the facilities and also access the elevator to the classes." He smiled brightly. "We also provide tours, if you want?" Judging from the tone of his voice, the tour was not available for anyone but those who attracted his attention, but Freyja did not want anyone to bother her.
"Nah, it's fine. We will go looking around by ourselves. Is that okay?" Freyja tilted her head and smiled seductively at the young man.
"Of course! The access card will open everything that you are allowed to enter, and you can meet your fellow students too. In fact, there will be a class soon if you want to join." He took out a piece of paper and gave it to her. "Here is the schedule for this week, and we will send you the next week's schedule via email. You can familiarize yourself before class starts."
"Great. Thanks a lot..." Freyja looked at his name tag, "Matt."
"You are welcome, Freyja, Yuki. Oh, before I forget, you can also use the access card to get discounts at any Morgan Group's affiliate stores inside the complex."
"Convenient. Talk to you later then. Thanks!" Freyja was very impatient already, and she was tired of the overly nice young man. Yuki knew it and he hurriedly dragged her to one of the elevators and punched the up button.
"Do you want to ask around first?" Yuki checked his schedule. "The idol's training is almost done, and they should be at the break lounge."
"Suuuure..." Freyja looked like she was thinking of something mischievous, and Yuki shuddered. It was never a good thing when Freyja looked like this, and before he knew it, she took out the access card and drew a specific rune on it.
"Really?" Yuki looked at her exasperatedly.
"Yeah, you go ask those boring idols, while I'm going to have my own investigation." She smirked. "I'll meet you down here before the class starts, I promise."
"Please don't kill anyone or break anything. And come back down here before anyone catches you." Yuki knew that his words would fall into deaf ears if he forbade her to do whatever she wanted anyway, so he just hoped that Dottore at least put on some kind of a leash on her. Or a limiter to limit her power.
He remembered that Dottore was working on a super bracelet with their newfound nephew, Kai. That boy was so sweet, everyone took an immediate liking to him and wanted to protect him like the precious boy he was.
"Moi? Get caught?" She chuckled wryly. "Nice try, Mister." She flicked his forehead. "Don't worry, it will only add wrinkles to your pretty forehead."
Yuki was a tall and slim man and he looked just like the Korean actor Byeon Woo-seok, and he was also fond of colorful hair, which now was dark blue. He would be a nice addition to any idols or actors with his acting and singing capability - which suit their purpose nicely.
"Where are you going?" He asked her when she entered the elevator and pressed a random button in it.
"Where else? Of course to the top. You comin'?"
Yuki frowned, but he already knew that Freyja would do whatever she wanted anyway.
"I'll go to the break room and try to ask around. Do not get caught." He warned Freyja who only smirked and waved her hand before she disappeared.
At the same time, Lee and Iseul entered the building and met with the same receptionist - Matt - and they took out their badges.
"Hi there, we're with the police and we would like to speak with someone about the disappearance of your students." Lee spoke slowly in case the man did not understand, but Matt smiled and picked up the telephone.
"Please wait a moment while I connect you to our in-house counsel."
He was not ruffled at all, as if this happened all the time.
Not five minutes later, a man in his mid-thirties with golden skin and black hair wearing a three piece suit walked toward them with a smile on his face that showed his pearly whites.
"Good afternoon, my name is Andros Papadopoulos, and I'm the in-house counsel here." He gave both of them his fancy name card, and Lee read them.
The in-house counsel - a fancy name for a lawyer that was being paid exorbitantly to sweep every rumor, gossip, scandal, and whatever those famous people did that should not be done - asked them to follow him to the conference room to talk about whatever question that they had.
"Of course we will be happy to assist your investigation, officers..."
"Detectives. I'm Detective Lee Hyunwoo and this is Detective Park Iseul. We're from Major Crimes and we would like to ask some questions about the disappearance of a few of your students."
"Sure, detectives." He showed them the small conference room and asked a lady to bring them some refreshment. "But please bear in mind that sometimes the student was not able to continue the lesson due to personal reasons, and of course we weren't able to track them one by one. Sometimes they just quit without saying words to anyone because of the pressure."
"I understand." Lee took out the dead students' picture and laid them on the table facing the lawyer. "Have you seen any of these people around here? Or maybe if you can point us to the one who knew them?"
Andros looked at the pictures for a few seconds each but he did not seem to recognize them.
"I apologize, but I never saw any of them. But since they never called me if there's no problem, of course you understand. But I will call someone who maybe knows about them. What classes did you say they were in again?"
"Acting, dancing, singing, the whole thing."
Andros nodded then he picked the in-house phone and pressed a few numbers.
"Hi, yes, please inform Ms. Nguyen, Ms. Kang and Mr. Han to come to conference room 1, thank you."
