Although the US stock market was enormous, this still qualified as a market crash.
What made it even harder for the Americans to accept was that a normal crash merely reduced market capitalization for a while. Once the market adjusted, those valuations would rise again.
But this decline was different. It was no ordinary fluctuation in market value, but a genuine contraction.

But was Huaxia's military weak? The Stealth Fighter announced not long ago still had military experts worldwide scratching their heads. They could not figure out what principles lay behind the technology.

Although Shen Bing held his phone, its screen displaying the Immortal Realm, he could not keep his eyes focused on it.
*Damn! In a situation like this, no normal man could calmly play Game—not even one as endlessly captivating
