A Bet

Xu Feng can't possibly control and instruct a person to stop feeling nervous around him. 

It was an instinctive and passive emotion. 

Only through the passage of time could one become comfortable and relaxed with another individual. 

The same applied to Carmen, who was somewhat cautious of him during their first encounter, but gradually her guards had lowered over time.

Thus, Xu Feng could only hope that Veronica would quickly get over this intangible aura of his and stop being overly tense or nervous.

Just when Xu Feng was about to signal for Veronica to begin, Carmen lightly elbowed him with her arm, seemingly indicating for him to stay quiet.

He raised his hands in response, an indirect way of saying he won't talk.

Satisfied, Carmen flashed a warm smile before standing in front of him and told Veronica, "You can begin whenever you want, Vortex Viper."
