Persuade Matsura to Let Barrett Go

Starfield - Should You Kill Matsura Persuade
The first option is to attempt to persuade Matsura to release Barrett without paying the ransom fee. If you successfully persuade him, you can avoid the fee. However, if your persuasion attempt fails, you will be left with the other two options: paying the fee or attacking Matsura. It is advisable to try this option first to see if you can either avoid confronting Matsura or paying the ransom fee.

Pay the Ransom Fee

Paying the ransom fee will set Barrett free. This option allows you to avoid battling Matsura and his bodyguards for a small price. It's worth noting that there are no rewards for killing Matsura, and you won't encounter him again. It's advisable to simply pay the fee and complete the quest.
