While Joshua was Immersed in finding out different uses for his powers. The world didn't stop moving. People were trying their fullest to damage control. The Federal bank even lowered the interest rate to stabilize the economy. The fall of the market didn't just hit The upper class of the market but It also hit the lower class. The upper class lost a lot but the people below lost their everything because of the fall. People who invested in various companies lost their savings. Savings that could have helped them during bad times, could have helped someone paying another installment of their homes, could have made a child's dream of getting into college a reality. But now they lost everything. 

The US government was doing everything to maintain the aftermath of the fall. The thing is when people are scared they spend less, they invest less, they only buy necessary things and start to save money so what might be the problem? It is their hard-earned money after all. They have full rights to what they do with it. But have you ever asked yourself if you just buy necessary things then what would happen? There will be a shortage of money in the market. The market will go down and every company will be at a loss after all if 3 people can carpool then why would they even buy a car individually. 

This thought was in people's minds after all the total loss of the market was in billions around 5.75 billion dollars the biggest fall in the history of the US. 

Everyone was wrecking their brain to get out of the situation to make people believe in spending more and saving less.

And they can't even blame anyone. It was those Idiots who sat at the highest positions of their companies. They can't blame Joshua because he didn't do anything. It was the public who did it. Every government official was cursing the people at the top as because of their folly the whole US was in turmoil. 

Also, Joshua introduced his medicines this week to the people and they were flabbergasted, to say the least, and various pharmaceutical companies also found themselves in a tight spot. So it also contributed to the fall. The pharmaceutical sector feels the fall. Now the only unaffected sector was weapon manufacturing. Even Oil's prices dropped.

One thing that people do get was that to never underestimate the young entrepreneur. Even some of the politicians were scared of him.

And the perpetrator of all this was enjoying his morning tea in his study. 

Sebastian enters the study and said

" The figures have arrived, Young Master. " 

The figures that Sebastian was talking about were how much did people at the low lose, not how much the people at the top lost in New York. 

" Around 9380 people lost their jobs. 1000 people lost their savings worth 50 million. 750 people lost their house because of the house loan. This is New York's stats. " Sebastian handed the report to Joshua.

Joshua read the report and nodded. 

These were the stats of only New York's lower-class citizens. It doesn't include people from other places. Other people could easily bear the loss but he will have to do something for people to again raise his Image. Because subconsciously people will blame him for their misery. So he will have to help them in this tough time and people will again start thinking of him as a good human being and this time they will build a type of trust in him that he truly is a godsend. Because they again thought of him as a bad guy in their hearts but he again comes to save them at the moment's notice without even thinking.

Basically, with these shocks, Joshua was soft brainwashing the whole population. He was fitting this in their mind that he was a good guy. 

Joshua was in his thoughts about what to do when Sebastian disturbed him with a cough. 

*cough*

" Young Master, the news is that Buck Industries and Shaw Industries are entering into a joint venture for a construction project in Eastern District. The project is quite big, around 150 million dollars. "  Sebastian said.

" What are they making? " Joshua asked, somewhat interested in the news. 

" Luxurious flats for rich people. " 

" Tell me, Sebastian, are those properties in Queens still on sale? Joshua asked while he took a sip from his tea.

" They should be after all no one is interested in those 200 warehouses. Why are you thinking of buying them? " Sebastian asked curiously after all there was no merit in that place. Even as a warehouse facility. They were good before 1970 but in the 80's they were nothing because of the infrastructure change. So now they were on a sale and that too at underprice. 

" Yes, I wanted to buy them. Tell Max, I want them under my name in 3 days. Also, tell the press and people that Joshua Foley himself is coming to talk with them. It's time that I give an audience to people who went to such lengths for me. "
