The captain did not answer because even he appeared uncomfortable with how quickly the situation had reached that point, but one of the officers beside him shouted for Lee Hyeom to surrender before more serious charges were added.
That was when Lee Hyeom finally understood what bothered him most.
They wanted the serious charges.
Someone had accused him of stealing grain from soldiers even though the route never passed through his district. Police had arrived in enough numbers to make violence almost inevitable, and now before anyone had properly investigated the theft, the word rebellion was already being spoken in front of witnesses.
The accusation was not following his resistance.
His resistance was being used to build the accusation.
