"If you can settle and guard this place, it will be the best reward for me. If you are not willing, that's fine as well; you are free to leave," Gaven did not impose mandatory requirements on the Bearman family, as their main value to him was in testing the effects of the Blood Bear Fruit.
Those who joined later did not get the opportunity for free; only by swearing loyalty or earning enough contribution points could they exchange for the Blood Bear Fruit from him.
Don't think that the Blood Bear Fruit, which seems to be beneficial only to bear species, appears too niche. The world is big, and this commodity is not only useful to Bearmen, bear species, Druids but also, I believe, to the Blue Bear Worshippers of the Blue Bear Tribe. Given the rarity of the Blood Bear Fruit, it is of course to be sold at a high price.
"It is our greatest honor to be able to settle here," the Bearman Mother agreed cheerfully.
