"Now that the profit from liquor is so great, they can't possibly resist trying to get into the bootlegging business," he said, "and as soon as they do, we'll catch them!"
It was a sharp tone to set, as the price of liquor changed daily and, with the explosion case at the Dangerous Goods Administration in Golden Port City becoming more known to more people and places, the enforcement of Prohibition had strengthened.
Congress senators regarded this as a challenge from crime syndicates and alcoholics to the authority of the legal order, believing that if they did not fight back decisively, the Prohibition would soon become a joke.
In the next few years, the situation with Prohibition would only get more severe, and this would also make the profits from bootlegging soar.
These crime syndicates couldn't possibly ignore such high profits; once they reached out, there was a chance they could be caught.
