Garen’s current plan was to make use of the excuse of need to identify the eye shaped stone for a while, and keep the stone in his hands a bit longer; that would count as a way to absorb the potential.
To get away from getting suspected, he voluntarily asked Number 8 to chase after Golden Loop Number 9 with him, because the opponent intentionally pushed the blame onto him.
No matter what happened, he had to find Golden Loop Number 9 to clean himself from the blame. However, he knew that even if he was clean, Number 8 still won’t let him go; maybe that his identification technique would protect himself, but it wasn’t secure enough.
"The best case would be that they two kill each other during a fight!" Garen rushed down as a vicious expression flashed though his eyes.
