"Have someone keep an eye on him. See who he's contacting, but if there's no one forcing him, pay him off."

Isaac was obviously not keen on having anything to do with someone like that boy.

"Okay. I'll get it done right now," Zachary replied, worried that Barzel could give him the slip.

As Isaac returned into the castle, Irene asked, "Who was it?"

Isaac told her everything, adding, "He was asking for money."

"Give it to him. His parents did save you," Irene said.
