After the seemingly endless cold rain in Winster finally ceased.
The coldest December arrived.
The first major event in Winster that December was the official establishment of the Prohibition Bureau.
Even though the Prohibition Agent's initial operation against Ethan completely failed and cost many personnel, it didn't stop them from holding a grand founding ceremony.
Not only did all the city's major figures attend, but all the newspapers also focused their flashbulbs on them.
The next day's newspaper headlines naturally included them.
Moreover, they soon produced decent results.
This was largely thanks to reports from enthusiastic citizens and the utterly poor operations and lack of vigilance from Ethan's peers.
Many small workshops were easily cleared out, and some underground 'whisper bars' were also wiped out.
This actually helped Ethan and his team, reducing competition, and the price of bootleg liquor unexpectedly doubled in a short time.
