Xia Nan eventually accepted Horak's gift.
It wasn't that he was greedy; under normal circumstances, if someone on the street randomly offered him money,
his reaction would only be one of resistance and suspicion, questioning the person's ulterior motives.
But now, as a bona fide professional recognized by his peers for his combat abilities, having joined the caravan as a temporary guard without demanding extra payment, purely for the ride, and in exchange, if any trouble arose during the journey within his capability, he could help resolve it.
Considering the average reward for an adventurer of his level, the caravan was definitely getting a great deal.
Under this premise, if the caravan owner Horak insisted on rewarding Xia Nan in various ways, he didn't see a reason to overly refuse, as long as it was within reason.
On the other hand, the meeting gift given by the wealthy merchant, a silver chain pocket watch adorned with pearls, actually just seemed impressive.
