"Nothing comes for free. Wishes always come at a price, just like in The Monkey's Paw. I hope everyone will avoid making wishes as much as possible."
After that warning, Andrew continued, "General Calvin, send troops into the city to protect the civilians. Leave eliminating the enemy to our Justice League."
